The Jets are definitely too soft. They look like they don't want to have anything to do with contact. I don't know if guys are hurt but they peel away from throwing hits. I think Ehlers threw their biggest hit of the night.

Ehlers, Nino and Pionk are probably our most physical players. That was a good hit by Ehlers, on the pp too. Lowery is physical. But that's about it.

Stan did lower the boom on that play that unfortunately led to a kings breakaway.

When kupari plays physical he's affective, same with Barron, but he's not a physical player.

I'm glad Samberg is back, he used his body well.

I just think we could use a fairly intimidating RD that can either play with Josh, like a Brandon Carlo type, or a bottom pair guy that can play a limited role but is an absolute killer.

Again, it's not just about fighting, but when it gets physical as it does in the playoffs or some teams; you need guys that can step up.

Frederick knocking out Gus, scheifele getting cheap shots, Morrissey getting roughed up. The avalanche ran over us last year, Vegas did as well.
Florida out muscled the oilers last year, mostly because everyone was hurt at the end. It's a war. How many guys did Bennet, Tkachuck and Gudas hurt or maim in that run?

We have a great team. Just not sure we're built for 4 tough playoffs series'.

A lot of focus on a part that has a smaller role than 2nd line.

Even when all the roster spots are fixed according to how some people want them, they'll start to complain about how the assistant equipment manager packs the players bags before road trips

i think it's human nature to find problems to "fix", regardless of how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things

I really wish you would stop making up strawmen like this.

Everyone knows we’ll start complaining about how the assistant manager UNPACKS the players’ bags AFTER road trips.

I'd say sick Pionk on him considering the work he does with McDavid but I find Mackinnon to be way more aggressive and heavy with the way he attacks. He's simply a beast.

You can’t let him get up that head of speed. He needs to be disrupted and slowed up especially in the neutral zone which is easier said than done. Something we didn’t do last playoffs.

I’ll take my chances with Samberg and Salomonsson (once he’s in NHL next year) against MacKinnon and McDavid. Soon the Jets can match up against that elite speed but only if they commit to faster players and not Pionk and Stanley.

For the last 1000th time, Stanley had nothing to do with losing Kovacevic. The org bringing Schmidt in was what did it (at the time they made that decision, Kova had 45 AHL games and zero NHL games). Kova and Stanley don't play the same position FFS. Neither one had any time on their off side

Chisholm is no better than Stanley


Yeah his PK has been bad. But 5v5 (which is what I'm told REALLY matters) he's been strong. The numbers back that up

For the 1001 time - your right and wrong.
Acquiring Schmidt was the handwriting on the wall. But when the time came, they had to choose between waiving Kovy or waiving Stan.

So .... this time you use the numbers?
Eye test says numbers are full of crap.

He has generally been better this year, but every few games he has one that is absolutely awful. Do his good ones out weigh them? Honestly, IDK for sure. I don't think so. His good games are usually not that good. I think he had 1 really good game this season. But I might be overreacting to the bad ones because they are so incredibly bad.

Hi strength is eating popcorn in the press box. What NHL D-man strength does he have. Mobil? nope. Block shot's? Nope, Clear front of net? Nope, Win board battles? Nope. No when to pinch? Nope. Can fight? Meh. he is a 7-8 NHL Dman at best. He gets turned around all the time, case in point the Marchessault play, then he gets 4 for trying to make him eat his stick... Best strength is up in the PB. enough already.

No need to sugar-coat it. Tell us what you really think.

Yup it takes a village
