GDT: Jets @ Canadiens • Preseason game #3 • 6:00 pm CT • TSN3 & CJOB

Stanley has had that issue since his OHL days. He's not agile enough so he either backs up all the way to the net or he gets walked.

Stan has a wing span that will allow him to back in a bit - and he doesn't have the lateral movement to be overly aggressive -
I'd assume they will want him to play to his strengths.

If they are asking him to play a game he is not built for, he doesn't stand a chance. Nothing wrong with working on weaknesses but they need to be careful with the message.

I hope he settled down a bit and stops head hunting at every opportunity - he's caught out of position a lot when he does that. 10 of the teams 27 hits in his last game - a bit over board.

Based on Bones press conference today, he said he wants the defense to be up in the play quite a bit more and to skate. Doesn't sound like they're playing to his strengths.

How does he want them to defend? LIke in their own end?

No up in the play like pinching on the blue line.

I'm just not sure what to think of the Stanley-Heinola pairing. I just kind of assumed that all 3 of Samberg, Stanley, and Heinola would be split up because I thought they'd be fighting for the same spot.

Right..But it looks like Bowness is putting both Stanley and Heinola in a leaking one-man life raft and watching to see who sinks and who rises to the top..
(I was gonna say “who floats” but we know who already has that covered..)

I'm not convinced the only direction the D are getting was what is said in a presser.

huh? When the defense plays higher up they need to skate a lot more to get back.

It looks like extra cardio training is going to make the difference for those who buy in and those who can’t bring themselves to , for reasons of aging or just not wanting to up their game..

He by and large has the team playing a box plus 1 in our end. So one dmen will engage in the corner while the other stays infront of the net with F1. The other two forwards will complete the box.

I'll be watching as preason unfolds as to what else they use in our end as it will clearly morph Abita depending on the situation.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Start Holm ........

Holm should get a chance here..pre-season, Mtl not too tough, and although he was only high .800’s for the Moose, his previous Swedish seasons were reasonable..I’d be surprised if they didn’t give him at least half a game..

 

[CDN24]

I really like Dan Robertson's calling last game, he'll be really good once he's more familiar with the players.

As a Hab fan our loss is your gain. Dan is very good

 

[AlaskaJet]

No Holm game tonight, just the Chronicles of Rittich..
Looks like Holm will just have to have a better year on the Moose than 21-22..

Just tell me its not a collapsing box on the PK...

 

[Flyby]

EDIT: We get Poulin instead of Sawyer tonight!

Is this game going to be available nationally or will it be blacked out, outside of the jets and habs regions?

They have been more diamond then box on the PK so far.

That's what I was looking for - thanks for the reply.
I'm hoping Stan takes a step back from his indiscriminate hitting and plays the system - he's getting caught in the corner too many times.

 

[AlaskaJet]

NHL.com on one MTL site has both Rittich and Holm listed for tonight..
So maybe we will see the Swede..

I read he's playing the 3rd period, has that changed?

 

[Mud Turtle]

Last chance for some of these guys to show what they've got.

I think Lambert, Nikkanen, Polei, Malot, Maier, Capobianco, Lucius, Lundmark, and Holm are locks for first cut.

They may give Stenlund a longer look and Reichel since he has some nhl experience and I think they have a decision to make there.

I’m surprised that Lucius isn’t getting to play tonight. It would be a shame to only see him in one game.
Hope Lambert gets on more viewing after tonight too.

His reach has never been enough to allow him to pressure a puck carrier, even back against kids in the CHL. He either surrenders easy zone entries and uncontested passes near the net or he gets walked, that's how he's always been and it's what we saw in his other preseason game. He's a defensive liability, always has been and I've seen nothing to convince me that will change.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

I predict Saku Mäenalanen is going to pull a Hannu Järvenpää tonight and score 4 goals!

Pairing Stanley and Heinola seems cruel. Smart though. Will help distinguish the best team player.

 

[macmaroon]

Do you guys know if Suzuki is playing tonight...

 

[John Agar]

I get to see Tugnuts....

Torgersson...

Maenaalan...

And Lambert...



Got My Beer... got my Chinese food...

Bring it on Jets...

Find a way to beat the Habs in Montreal...

Go Jets Go !!!

[bustamente]

It may be preseason but making Habsy cry is what I want to see
