Thx Chevy for not doing anything with 3 months notice and going into year with a dcore with less 500 games experience. Even more props to you when buff decided not to play and still you decided not to do anything. Life is good for you cause every one will blame the coach for playing what you decided the team needed instead of you for your ineptness. No other gm in hockey would be so effin useless.

So which top forward do you want him to trade?
I also thought he got 2 GA, but somehow Natural Stat Trick has him 1 GF (PP) and 1 GA (5-on-5), resulting -1.
Laine was asleep on the 1st period of the previous game, but now he played well. He was involved, and stats seems to agree with that: second in hits (4) and second in shot blocks (2).
Bring Heinola back, please. There is no need to have too slow breakout play the Jets has had a couple of games with those guys on reserve (Heinola, Niku).

Whiteout Is Coming.
Here's the difference in the game besides the puck bouncing the Pen's way.
The Pens went to the net the Jets did not.

.and yet this is his 6th year here, window has closed on this team and maybe on the longevity of Maurice but he makes it to the end of the year in all probability.
Connor or Laine should have been moved for a top pairing Defenseman plus other assets.

An all around rough night for all of them seems like an ideal time for chewin' up the players. And the coach. It was a crappy team effort, as you acknowledge yourself when you say they weren't skating. They deserve chewin' for the poor game they played.
Chevy and Maurice may have already decided that this is in all likelihood a throw away season.
It was a lousy game but the over reaction in this thread is priceless. Players didn’t play well and that isn’t on the coach. Tried to mix up lines I order to get a spark and it didn’t work.

Then go ahead and chew them up - where do you want to start?
My point was when everyone is a dog, why bother?
Just call them all out - like I did

His plan is to have a plan that "takes years to learn to play the right way." He has a new plan this year because after years trying to teach the players his last one, they didn't learn.
Wrong game. Laine floated the 1st period of the previous game along with all the TOP-6 excluding Ehlers. Now he didn't. Also recorded 4 hits and 2 shot blocks, some of those hits were really hard. Soft hits are not even recorded, and while I posted somewhere that even Connor throw one hit, apparently it was not recorded as it was pretty soft.
And I don't think where you even got the idea Copp was floating. Playing positionally sound and not doing anything kamikaze doesn't equal with floating. Though the same guys are always complaining about smart guys "floating" when they do not go into the battles they cannot win (unlike Tanevs and Perreaults of this world, who do also fight for 0% chances). Pick the battles you can win, and win those.
Wheeler couldn't just handle the puck this time. You could say that's floating, but I guess old man is just not very fresh in B2B games. Pretty hard for him to play high minutes and the same time stay fresh and fight hard. That's on PoMo to fix and get him out of the 1st line occasionally. A long term solution would be cutting his TOI 1-2 minutes, never play him on PK, and play him on the 2nd line to both keep him fresh and spread the talent.
I didn't see Morrissey floating either. Some bad decisions with the puck for sure.
In the real world the Jets were 100% ready for the puck drop and were fighting for pucks and throwing hits. They took the lesson from the previous night when they were still sleeping when the zamboni came on ice for the 1st intermission. Unfortunately they didn't get better as game went on but worse, and did not have the energy to throw their bodies too much after the first period. And those abysmal PPs (even with that lucky goal) did every time kill their game.

It's really not complicated. They should both be replaced.

Laine was worse than wheeler but wheeler was the shits. Just like the rest of the team.
Sorry I don’t have a love affair with Laine or a hard on for hatred of Wheeler.
I call it how I see it.
Not my problem you don’t see it the same way.

Which would pretty much guarantee he'll be here for at least two more years after this one.
