It's gotta be Barron that gets bumped up. He has earned it. Barron 2nd, Gus 4th IMO. Iafallo and Barron are familiar playing with one another.
No kidding even Garrett during the telecast last game mentioned why is faceoff in the Jets DZ when it was the Blues player that shot the puck outside the blueline. There were a couple of more questionable faceoffs too.
If you know he for sure isn't playing game 6 and would have a chance at a Game 7 then making him travel is not a good idea.
But, still a promotion for Barron as he still gets bumped up to the third.
I thought Schenn made a nice shot block, when Samberg got his pocket picked in the d-zone.
There's the problem Names is not a 2C ... he is a !C.Loved how Namestnikov played in Scheifele's absence, not a easy thing to do to jump up to the number 1 center role.Just showed the Jets depth this season which is very good.
schenn turned the puck over alot more than Stanley. Would rather see Stan and Miller than Schenn and Fleury.
I'm a big fan of Nino, but he needed a big game. He hadn't done much up until now. I was pumped too.
I don't mind that either. I think Miller has potential for a big game, more than Fleury. It's Stanley on the road that makes me nervous, he's protected at home, unprotected how much can you play him. It's also the special teams that you wonder about. Jets only had to kill one penalty at home. I get the feeling there will be more penalties in St. Louis and not in the Jets favour. Does Stan get some PK reps in this series? For me J Mo looks banged up already. He's played an avg. of 3 seconds more than Samberg this series, and the better d-pairing has been Samberg-Pionk so far.
Following the who plays on what line train.
I don't know how much you can play Stan, but, Fleury also did not look good in St.Louis. They don't want to play any D on his offside. Miller and Stan have been good together. I think you put Miler on the Pk. I also just want Stan to take off Kyrou or Thomas head and play 4 minutes in the game.
That's because of the direct aftermath of both hits, had Scheifs gone off right after that hit injured it would be a different story, because he didn't in DOPS mind it's fine even though it was definitely that hit that caused the problem ( guessing most likely concussion related)
Glad you said it. It's the only reason why teams can target Scheifele without impunity. League doesn't want us to win. Scheifele said it. But that underdog mentality can give you an edge.
I'm still mad about that suspension. Although even among Jets fans there was some disagreement on how bad (or not) that hit was. To me it was a hockey play 100%.
