Post-Game Talk: Pre-season Game 7 - Jets vs Devils - 7:00 pm CT - TSN3

[Daximus]

Trouba is just garbage on the PP.

Why is Beyak emphasising the nonexistent "Vas" in VESalainen?

Trouba is just garbage on the PP.

Just on the PP?

 

[Daximus]

"That guy" was Zajac. He didn't it pass it "right at him." Zajac sealed the boards. 9/10 that puck gets past him.

Beyond that what do people expect of million dollar or less defensemen?

Personally I think Morrow is going to play well above his contract value this season

Don't pass it right at him. That what I expect and if you F up. Then don't skate across the slot to cover someone that is already covered. Pretty basic stuff.

 

[Board Bard]

Why is Beyak emphasising the nonexistent "Vas" in VESalainen?

Dyslaxia.

 

[Afterburner]

Well I'm happy that preseason can be put to bed now. Excited for the good stuff

 

[bustamente]

Well that puts a wrap on the preseason, next week the points counts, Jets better be ready

 

[Daximus]

Well I'm happy that preseason can be put to bed now. Excited for the good stuff

Yeah time to prepare for game 1!

Morrow is a pretty small problem compared to the guy who figures he’s worth 7.

 

[surixon]

Well this has been largely a forgettable game. Just glad no one got hurt and that preseason is over. Bring on the regular season.

I don't know that any of the bubble guys made a great case tonight to crack the opening night roster. Ves and Lemieux where ok but not great. Dano was also mediocre.

Poolman with another okish game. Niku was solid.

Hard to say what they do with the those few depth spots.

 

[ATLbound]

Dano was pretty invisible tonight. Did not see much from any bubble guy really. Roslo is going to be scary in his own end while he continues to adjust to C. Not sure how much I like the idea of Ehlers Roslo and Ves

 

[surixon]

Trouba is just garbage on the PP.

Yup, no idea how our coach can't stop his stupid seniority based special team appointments on D. It looked infinitely better the 20 seconds Morrissey was on it.

 

[ocdaddy]

A rare out-goalied at home. (?)

But I wonder if that was the Devils opening roster?

Ehlers, Roslo, Lemieux may be the better choice

 

[Saintb]

Dyslaxia.

I have admit, that is pretty good.

 

[tbcwpg]

A rare out-goalied at home. (?)

But I wonder if that was the Devils opening roster?

It's very close. It's their top 6 D and top 9 forwards I believe. No Stafford, no Gryba.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

A rare out-goalied at home. (?)

But I wonder if that was the Devils opening roster?

Excuse my creeping, but yes, that was close to our lineup. It was the first time the majority of the guys have played together this preseason. Ty Smith may make the opening night lineup as a top 6 D man. Honestly, that was probably the biggest omission. Noesen was out too, and he has very good chemistry with Coleman. You could tell he was missing.

But yeah, mostly a full lineup.

 

[cbcwpg]

Well.... at least that shit is over.

 

[Inflict]

Thought that Niku had his best game of the preseason. Hope Maurice gives him a shot.

Rolslovic showed flashes of skill but had a poor game by his standards. Vesalainen looked good but still needs some time to adjust.

Helle was left out to dry tonight. I don't blame him for the loss but a stop on one of their high quality chances could have kept us in the game.

Pretty sure that Poolman is going to be sent down to start the season. Hasn't shown enough to make the roster.

Laine had another strong game though he still hangs on to the puck a little too much.

Post-game audio:

Players - Connor Hellebuyck, Kyle Connor and Mathieu Perreault.

Coach Maurice post-game scrum topics: Coach Maurice: Did he see what he wanted from his group to end the games of training camp? Thoughts on the goal from Kyle Connor and the chemistry of the top line. Did the way his pre-season go sway his opinion as to whether he should go 13/8 or 14/7 for roster composition? Did he feel like the guys on the bubble make any separation? What is the focus of the group over the course of the next week? Any concern with the cross-ice opportunities? What was he looking for when he flipped Lemieux/Vesalainen? What did Skyler McKenize do for his stock?

While Roslovic faded a bit as the game went on, I’ll say it here and now.. Jack Roslovic is going to be a star in this league. Staring this year.
If given a shot, he will outscore Bryan Little this year. By next year, it won’t even be close.

 

[KingBogo]

Yup, no idea how our coach can't stop his stupid seniority based special team appointments on D. It looked infinitely better the 20 seconds Morrissey was on it.

I think for Morrissey to be a prominent part of the PP the Jets would need to design a unit that works from left to right. As it is now both their PP's run right to left. And at this point we have fresh faced kids throughout both PP's. Not sure where you are getting vets over young players as the only player it could apply to is Morrissey.

 

[Mud Turtle]

I thought Brendan Lemieux was very good agin. He creates so much havoc for the other team to contend with.
Every line can use a guy like Lemieux. Put these types of guys with two high skill guys and they complement each other very well. His speed is really working for him.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Laine had another strong game though he still hangs on to the puck a little too much.

It almost looks to me like he needs to learn to play with his new speed.

 

[KingBogo]

What are the lines? Who's playinf with Laine
And who's playing with vesalainen

Based on what we have seen so far I'd say we start the season:

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
MP-Little-Laine
Ehlers-Rosie-Dano/Lemieux/KV
Copp-Lowry-Tanev

Defense seems a little less certain and I'm still hopeful Niku finds his way into the starting lineup.
