Post-Game Talk: Laine gone wild; Jets beat canes 3-2

[KingBogo]

Hard time with defense too.

The weren't far off a possession split. Both were on the positive side of CF% Rel. Against a very tough matchup.

 

[D1G]

Laine heating up. Not much else going on. On to the next game. At least we're winning the games we are supposed too

 

[ocdaddy]

There was no TV time-out in the 3rd period I think. Stoppages were all icings and goals.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I'm on board with the 'sign Stastny' campaign, that line can carry us for like 10 years. Who do we ditch?

 

[leafster7]

Great win. We sometimes need those lucky bounces. Should have been Winnipeg Jets 3 vs. Future-Quebec Hurricanes 2. But you know Bettman he needs to keep those struggling southern US teams staying put (unlike in Calgary).

 

[AlphaLackey]

Money better spent elsewhere

Didn't question that part. Sometimes you've paid more than you should. And sometimes, a player blossoms and you have them on a steal for years. See which, our 3.5M or whatever we're paying Laine this year.

"You're getting overpaid" doesn't bother me nearly as much as "you're well below where someone with your job should be". At the end of the day Tyler can just buy a few rounds and even it out.

Can Chiarot play right side, iirc he can? If so, trade Myers and keep Chiarot, sign Stastny with that money.
Chiarot is good offensively (imho better than Trouba) and capable enough defensively for a 6th defender. Myers was so bad tonight that he got benched in the end.

Stastny is 32 y/o. Nice to get him signed for the next couple years.

*WOOOOOOOOOOO do we ditch?

Great win. We sometimes need those lucky bounces.

Especially if the other team gets a lucky goal first.

It would be awesome to get him for a couple years

He'll want 5.
Chevy, do your magic. $1m x 5!

Where did Scheifele go?

 

[Howard Chuck]

That could be, but they haven’t looked good in their own end for a while now. Including this game. I have no idea what the stats say.

Mason or Myers.

Probably the reason the game was played in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

 

[GNP]

I think Chiarot is quite underrated on these boards. He's pretty good in the defensive zone, very physical and getting better all the time.

He's also getting better with his offensive game, and has a hell of a wicked shot. Hit the crossbar tonight, and a goal last game. I'd like to see him let his shot go from the point a little bit more.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

Great win. We sometimes need those lucky bounces. Should have been Winnipeg Jets 3 vs. Future-Quebec Hurricanes 2. But you know Bettman he needs to keep those struggling southern US teams staying put (unlike in Calgary).

Yeah, I don’t get. There were maybe 4-5K in the stands tonight. And Bettman is worried about Calgary.

 

[DharmaBum]

Laine with 2 goals in 3 of the last 4 games; just can't seem to get the 3rd one. Maybe he just needs a little nudge from Maurice to get the empty netter

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Mason or Myers.

2018-2019 best year ever

O'Connor - Scheif - Wheeler
Ehlers - Stastny - Laine
Perro - Little - Roslovic
Copp - Lowry - Armia
ex: Dano, Petan, Appleton? Possible callup: Vesalainen (though he'll probably be on the O'Connor plan)

Morrissey - Trouba
Kulikov - Buff
Niku - Poolman
re-sign Enstrom at $dirty cheap if need be

Helle
Hutch
Comrie.


MAKE IT HAPPEN.

You mean who do we bridge?

 

[Polar Vortex]

Mason or Myers.

Both. They can also throw Hendricks in too.

 

[Channelcat]

Stastny is 32 y/o. Nice to get him signed for the next couple years.

He will go to the highest bidder.

 

[nobody important]

Hockey game lasted 2h15 min?? Thats quicker than Laines shot!

Damn, the 11,407 in attendance must have left feeling shortchanged. Next time they feel like spending $25, they'll go to the monster truck rally instead.

 

[KingBogo]

That could be, but they haven’t looked good in their own end for a while now. Including this game. I have no idea what the stats say.

Without Lowry they are taking on the hardest matchups night after night. People were use to them freewheeling while Lowry battled the likes of Staal all night. Teams are playing a very tight and physical matchup against them with nowhere to really go for relief. We really do miss Lowry for what we try to do as a team.

SportsNet must have really jacked up the noise, that "11,407" was awfully loud.
