Does MEC sell fishing gear?

Scheif has to be alot better as well , he's our #1 center , we need production from him . Hopefully Maurice keeps Scheif with Ehlers and Laine for a few games just to see what those 3 can accomplish together .
Scheifele has to be a LOT better in the D zone. Far too often he is running around in his own zone accomplishing nothing. Getting his horrid faceoff numbers up would help as well. Sadly, he is not a top 10 C. He should be. The Jets need him to be.

Yah. Too bad because Ehlers is a potential star player, if utilized properly to his skills in so far as linemates and playing style with him, he could be in the top tier level with points too. Not likely yet under PoMo's structure, "teaching system".
Depends what u mean top tier. He is not on the same level as Kucherov McDavid, Ovchkin no matter how he's used. If you mean he could be a great 1st line player if utilized correctly, I can see that.

Where the hell have our firepower gone? High and wide. So few shots. Awful to watch. At least Hellboy is good. I hope ESL and CLW get change to gel. If they do, we will make the playoffs. No time to panic yet.

Well you know, better luck next time. With this defense you're going to have games like this. I hope they can still sneak into the playoffs.

Laine is grinding more, but it doesn't seem to help his goal production. Three goals this year of which one an empty netter isn't good enough from a bona fide goal scorer. There is nobody else in this Winnipeg team that can score goals like Laine, especially the PP is completely dead without his shot, so this should be his primary task. I'm concerned this new "power forward" way of playing will wear him out even quicker than last year.
To my eyes, Laine's shot hasn't been what it once was. When he gets open looks, he misses the net half the time. Not sure how you blame PM for that. Good thing he is playing a more physical game.as he would be totally useless otherwise.

Also like Gustafsson in over Appleton, Gus seems to accomplish more with the little amount ice time he gets! Appleton has been a dud this whole season, hardly looks like he belongs in the NHL!

So I'm not the only one who sees that he does things not so well (for awhile I thought there was something wrong with me, lol)? I agree that the Calder will have to be sacrificed and the Norris and Hart will have to wait. If he's every to help us as a top 4 defenseman in this league, don't throw him in the lava pit that we currently have. If he was actually helping us win on a consistent basis, obviously I wouldn't say that. However, unless a lot of things that have absolutely nothing to do with Heinola change soon, we're not making the playoffs anyways. Scheifele spent time in the AHL, Morrissey spent time in the AHL, Connor spent time in the AHL, and there's absolutely no way Heinola should be thrown to the wolves any longer than he has been.
agreed on all except i think he will go back to europe instead of the ahl. but i would much rather him go to the ahl

Ehlers doesn't play the Maurice Way.
xenophobia ? ? ? lol jk but there is zome truth that ehlers doesntplay a very north american game and that scares coaches and its annoying because ehlers deserves alot more ice time and is always a good pro to the media

First of all, was the NHL trying the new black tennis ball last night instead of a puck? What was up with the ice?

I'm not sure I've seen the Jets slower or last to pucks more than I did in the first 30 minutes of last night. Guys actually standing around. They didn't cope with the neutral zone flood the Kings employed. The Kings did a masterful job of neutralizing the Jets speed and the Jets didn't help themselves by not skating.

Morrissey obviously is not healthy. He got turned hard on that goal by Kopitar, so unlike him. Laine with a couple horrid turnovers, one leading to the first goal against. He played much better later on, but his shot does not have the accuracy it once did.

So many fans on shots and passes.

I'm sure this will somehow reinforce how horribad our defense is but when you look at the goals, it's hard to pin many on the D. The whole team looked slow - to skate and to think.

This team might need a new coach - I like Maurice despite his foibles but I think this team needs a new voice at the helm.

His read was the problem. His reaction and turn were way too late to be able to do anything other than waive a stick at him.
