Time will tell, but my gut is saying this will be yet another lost season. But you watch, in his contract expiry year he will somehow find a way to stay healthy and the Jets will get suckered into giving him a new contract. Kinda the way Pionk had his only good season when it was time to re-up.

Well, Chevy, here are some song lyrics to mull over.

We don't get fooled again. Chaz, we need a player that won't drive us crazy. Hey, hit the highway.

Sure, he may end up being a star in someone else's sky and we'll be going why, why couldn't it be ours? But I doubt it. :nod:
Please leave Brittany, i mean Chaz, alone.

Using Illegal Curve as a reference the opening day lineup looks something like

Toninato-Lambo-AJF
Chibrikov-Zhilkin-Shaw
King-Suess-Ford
Torgersson/Conley-Nikkanen-Liwiski
Golder in reserve

Lundmark-Salomonsson
Kuzmin-Bauer
Sauntner-Barteaux
Anhorn,Sword, Zloty in reserve

Milic
Di Vincentiis

Lucius I believe has skated as a winger on the 2nd line, so that would be his likely spot, if he starts the year. Shaw can move down a line.

Surprising that Torgersson had a good Young Stars showing, looked good in his preseason game, but now finds himself in danger of losing a job to Conley, that I don't know much about, other than he came from the Wild organization. Something strange about that, when you think of how he played, compared to King in game action.

Lundmark playing with Salomonsson, taking the top pairing role from Ville, something to watch.

Kuzmin and Bauer were probably at best a 3rd pairing last year, at worst out of the lineup, so they move up a notch.

I count five AHL veterans on the current squad, and with a goalie being lost to waivers, there is still room for one of JAD or Coghlan to join the team down the road, without knocking someone out of the lineup.

Looks like Salomonsson and Lundmark had a big game. Is Salomonsdon getting 1st unit reps on the PP...didn't see him in that role at all in preseason.

Chibrikov with some silky mitts out there.

Parker Ford getting those PK reps that will help him get to the next level.

3 Manitobans on the team to start and one is a scrapper🤣

That's a nice start.

Wonder if Di Vincentiis gets the next start in net.

Nice weekend for the Jets organization. Win against Minnesota and two road wins in Iowa for the farm team.

Lambert looks too fast for the AHL. Zhilkin with a nice snipe. I think Salomonsson and Lundmark came out +9 combined this weekend. Both prospect goalies get a win. Di Vincentiis sounds like he battled hard to win this one. Congrats to him.

Moose are going to be really fun to follow this year. Should win a lot of games and put up a lot of points. That top d pairing is what dreams are made of.

And then next year we will have Yaeger, Barlow, and Julien coming. Who knows about Levis/Brown/Nehring.

I think the fact that the pro game has more structure to it will benefit a big, positional dialog like DD. Wouldn't surprise me to see him more at ease there than in the OHL, which can be largely chaotic at times

I'm still getting Helle-like vibes from him

Good start to the season! It appears we have a great first line -one of the best in the AHL. We should enjoy it while it lasts as I suspect we will see one of Lambert or Chibrikov promoted to the Jets before long.

The team did give up a lot of shots although I'm not sure of the quality of said shots. If they are giving up an inordinate amount of of high scoring chances hopefully it improves once the Jets D-core is healthy. Is suspect both Stanley and Heinola will be sent down for conditioning when they are healthy.

Does Salomonsson have potential to eventually be the QB on the PP for the Jets???

How has he looked so far??

1-0 loss tonight, to be fair they were up against a goalie making $4.75 million a year.

This is a good thread for this post.

I remember watching Morrissey live with the Moose and being wowed. I posted here my observations that he reminded me a little of Shattenkirk. Y'all were pretty excited about that and it looks like he's exceeded Shatty by all measures. It took him a while to fire on all cylinders, but freaking Maurice stifled Josh.

Both he and Hellebuyck were on that Moose team and they both looked great to me.

Let's f***ing go Jets!!! Love it.
