Jets Practice Week (February 19th to 21st)

[ICdave]

Adam Lowry skating in a regular uniform today. No Morgan Barron. He was coming from our east and was delayed by a few days so he missed yesterday's optional skate. He will be IR skating tomorrow and doesn't seem like an option for the weekend in St. Louis.

Coach did say that they haven't decided what they will do with Hellebuyck, Connor and Morrissey about the game this weekend given the tight turnaround after the championship game in Boston on Thursday. He said he'd let us know on Friday.

let the guys rest let every one rest some. maybe rotate depth and prospects in every few games....

there is no hurry.

if we play .500 hockey from now on we still end up with 107 points.

if we continue to take points at the current rate we get 118.5 or so.....

I think Comrie for sure gets the net on Saturday. Both Joshua and KFC should be able to play

Helle, KC anf JMo will have played four games since the 7th of February.
That's four games in just over 2 weeks. Why should any of them be tired?
edit ... Helle 3 games.

I know it's the wrong team @ICdave but is Parker Ford with the Moose tonight in Laval, or still back in Winnipeg after leaving the game on Sunday?

Montreal's a pretty fun place, Boston too.

What about the places the guys visited on vacation during the break?
They aren't "fun" places?

I think the whole all star thing though is a little bit of team building? I'm sure the boys are having a good time, and if they win are probably going to celebrate. And might need a paid day off. It's kind of a big deal now.

Don't think it's like a regular game where you pack up and hop on the next flight out to go on with the routine. Guess it depends when they get into St. Louis. Didn't seem like Arniel was in a rush to have them back. I'm sure because the record viewership and all the interest this tourney has generated the message is enjoy the moment. While everybody else has been relaxing the whole time.

I don't believe he's with the team. Am gonna try to get updates on Ford and Lucius tomorrow.

 

[ICdave]

No real changes.



As per Scott Arniel Morgan Barron snuck into some goalie drills in a regular uniform.

I love Arnies response to the poll where 47% of NHLers don't want to play in Winnipeg. "That means 53% do!"

I mean I don't care if it does or it doesn't. I liked the response.

D pairs are a bit in flux. Tomorrow will be indication. We learned the plan is Morrissey/Hellebuyck coming back to Winnipeg while Kyle Connor will play in St. Louis.
