Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs Capitals Feb 19 6:00pm

[Kent C Tugood]

Let's sign Tim Stapleton to a one game deal, remember the big OT goal he scored against the Caps in 2011-2012.

Let's unload the Staplebomb on them.

As one who owns a Stapleton Jersey, I was jumping on tables at 4Play when that happened.

 

[SLAYER]

I loathe the Caps, really hope we take it to them w/ them being a little tired after a long road trip.

 

[SCP Guy]

Still never forgive them after beating us back to back to kill our playoff dreams.......uggggggg up and at em!!!!!!

 

[Sweech]

Sounds like we should be seeing Joel Armia in this game.

I still on see smoke, no fire.

He may play against the caps, but its pretty speculative.

Not sure about that.

Well, we're down two forwards, with only defensemen as backup scratches. So even if we move Buff back to forward (sadly) we still need another forward. Armia isn't at practice and unless he's injured was the most likely of our AHL forwards to get called up.

So without a confirmation tweet I'd say it's as likely as it's ever going to get.

I'd say from past history this season that Cormier is the most likely first callup. There are reasons that a player could miss practice besides being called up. I think some people have unrealistic expectations on the new toy.

I think its at least equally likely we move Buff to forward, and bring Cormier up.

that is an assumption that may not be true. I still think it's a bit crazy to have no extra forwards on the 23 man... but I guess Buff can always be treated like one.

....unless the Jets are planning to trade Armia imminently for forward help...

 

[wpgsilver]

Or... he ate some bad chili... or tens of other options...

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Still got it!

The stapler baby!

Stafford and Perreault are both still injured and Maurice is hoping that an extra half hour of sleep will do the trick.

That doesn't make any sense.

The practice is earlier now.

 

[Gnova]

We keep being told that the Ice Caps play the same system as the Jets to ease transition for call ups.
With this mindset does it make sense to bring in someone who hasn't spent any time with the Caps?

But... time change... leap year... y2k... el nino...

Oh, good point!

Most AHL games start at X:30pm. Clearly, Maurice is trying to make Armia's transition as smooth as possible!

The reason why he was not at practice and could not make the radio interview is that he was screached in by his teammates last night and is under the weather due to kissing a cod

 

[seasontixholder*]

They talked on the radio that Klingberg has been playing well. Maybe he gets his shot?

 

[mzappa]

It means the Jets injuries are connected with the JFK assassination, the pyramids, and the international military industrial complex --- all because of aliens.

OH MY GOD WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!!!

 

[rehf]

We need to capitalize and win this game.
