Post-Game Talk: No Laine - no problem! Jets win 6-3

[Aggie204]

TOI: N. Ehlers 13:24, K. Connor 21:19
This is what always annoys me.

I’m hoping to god it’ll normalize when PLD is here

 

[KingBogo]

It may become our first line.

Its only fans and media who number lines. Scheifele and Connor will rack up the points, and a Copp-PLD-Ehlers line will hem the opponents all night long. Together they will be a dominant top 6.

 

[Finnflash]

I think this game was a very very important win for the jets.

all the emotion was released in the first two periods and they are back on track. Emotionally at least

 

[Adam da bomb]

Surprised, not really, csw was on at end instead of copp Lowry and someone else.

 

[LowLefty]

Would love to see Copp-PLD-Ehlers but can't see a world where Copp doesn't reunite with Lowry and take big defensive matchups. I just don't see Paul dropping Lowry to the 4th.

I see Stast's moving to the wing and staying on the 2nd -

If the Jets can get their D straightened out this team may be scary good

 

[Guardian17]

Anyone else notice Wheeler has started wearing a Winnipeg Jets cap today instead of his regular "wheel" cap?

 

[MotionlessGravity]

Glad we picked up the 2 points here. Finishing a home game around midnight and having to play a back to back is pretty brutal scheduling.

 

[kcin94]

Seems silly to bring in pld when we have 2nd line stas and copp playing well. Our big glaring hole is our D. Forbert got roasted one play.

Stastny is 35. PLD is 22.

Quick thoughts...

81-55-26 Really slow start and some very sloppy play in their own zone, especially by Connor. Out of sync on the PP until a marvelous last PP. Then they showed their class. Connor is having a remarkable offensive season so far. Still, I didn't think they deserved the EN goal.

9-25-27 Outstanding game by Stastny. He's such a smart and effective player that facilitates well. It's nice to start the PP with the puck, thanks to his FO ability. Copp continued his really strong play. Maurice should have given him a chance for the hat trick with the EN. Ehlers had some poor plays that got the Jets in trouble, but he also made some brilliant offensive plays. He's dynamic.

85-17-22 I actually liked KVes on this line to begin, but Perreault was strong. Didn't like Appleton as much as usual. He made some bad decisions with the puck. Lowry was solid.

93-12-23 Didn't play enough, but were fine. I liked KVes. Too bad Maurice demoted him after one weak dump in, especially when the rest of the team was as bad or worse in the early stages.

44-2 Really shaky game by this pair. Morrissey continued to struggle at times. Doesn't look physically strong or fast. DeMelo was shaky, maybe because of his first game.

24-4 Okay game, but not as strong a game from Forbort.

64-88 Stanley was meh. He had problems handling Tkachuk. I think he should come out for the Oilers. Beaulieu fought, so I guess that's something.

Hellebuyck with a weak game all around.

The Jets will need to be sharper against better teams.

Great recap as usual, but I struggle with the concept of not deserving a EN goal. People act like it is some sort of reward, when in reality it is preserving a game which is a good thing. In most situations your best offensive players are your best option with an empty net because they are most likely to first gain, then keep possession and then move the puck into a position to score the EN goal.

A W is A W and a 3-0 lead over divisional opponent and a 4-1 record...... that's a nice start to a shorty season.

I think I like Forbort.

 

[Adam da bomb]

If this was the end of the season ppl would have to eat crow round here. Ppl thought stas was only brought in to appease laine and was over the hill. So far he has earned his money.
Ppl thought we should bring in a big ufa or trade for a d for 2nd pair but forbert has been adequate.
Obviously not end of season and post may be premature.

 

[Finnflash]

I see Stast's moving to the wing and staying on the 2nd -

At some point I would like to see stats play with perfetti. Maybe stats perfetti and copp on the third line.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Stastny is 35. PLD is 22.

But we don’t seem to be wording it as a future move. It’s getting worded as if we needed that 2c for this season.

 

[roccerfeller]

Who are the strong teams in division? Edmonton is struggling, mtl looks good. Vancouver is struggling. Toronto good. Ottawa and us.

I think its still a bit too early to say definitively, and we dont have PLD yet

I think we will def be one of the top 3 in the division now with PLD - at least, that is my expectation.

His biggest asset for us is he will drive possession which is when we are at our best

Who are other 2 right now? Mtl and Toronto?
Also would be interested to see where this team without pld stands. Our big weakness is our D. I’d rather see how Heinola does in forbert’s position than pld does in stastny’s.

 

[bustamente]

Wonder is Heinola draws in for tomorrows game but who comes out, don't see any forward changes, LB in net?

I pick BooBoo to come out

 

[Adam da bomb]

When is poolman back? Will Heinola be sent down soon to preserve his elf and so he can play?

I would say so. I think MTL and TOR are the other 2. I think with PLD we will also be better defensively as well

He is going to elevate the team

 

[LowLefty]

When he breaks into the lineup, you might see a lot of movement in the lines.
I can see him anywhere from playing LW on the second to playing 4th line center / wing - I have no idea where he is going to end up.
I can also see Copp ending up back with Lowry - and I don't see them moving to 4th line minutes -
So, I don't know - everything changes with the addition of our new center. So many options

 

[Scheifele55]

Kyle Connor leads the league in points... just sayin'

Apparently our newly acquired center gave the Laffs fits. Cannot wait to see that.

It's because he is a machine
