le sigh

As long as buff doesn't get his minutes, Jets can survive this.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Well this bites. Oh well 10 game win streak incoming!

 

[grieves]

That sucks, but there is no stopping this train now.

If Trouba has to get injured, this is exactly the time to get injured.

 

[King Woodballs]

Whaaaaat?
Oi vai!

 

[MardyBum]

This would have been crippling last year. Thank god Myers is relatively healthy. Poolman can slot in for now.

Just one year can we be one of the healthiest teams lol?

 

[Maukkis]

As long as buff doesn't get his minutes, Jets can survive this.

As if we had other options.

 

[Instincts]

Just don't rush him back. We will be fine without Trouba for 8 weeks.

P.S Ankle injury on this thing they calling ice in Anaheim. Not surprised

Time to call up Sami Niku from Moose? 44gp and 27p as a 1st year D in AHL. Is 4th overall of D:s in points. Not as big and physical as Trouba, but a very good puckmover. Reminds me of Vatanen

 

[JetsNut]

This is devastating. All you Trouba haters are going to see how much he means to this team when he's gone. I still have nightmares about last season during his hold out. Morrissey will start to look a whole lot more ordinary without Jacob by his side. Also buff back to playing 60 minutes a night will be awesome..

Better buckle up this will not be pretty the next month or so if true

By what I recall Morrissey was doing just fine before being paired with Trouba. In fact it was Trouba who improved and benefitted most from that paring. This is a taster of life without Trouba so let’s adapt and go forward.

He plays LD, and I doubt he'd be ready to handle the defensive responsibilities at the NHL level at this point.

Poolman is the obvious answer to step in on RD.

I`d actually think Niku has played both positions? Might as well try him out a few games and if it doesnt work drop him back to Moose. With the injury-bug it would be good to give him a few games up if the situation gets worse...

 

[Do or Die]

We will need to see more "good Buff" sightings, moving forward....

 

[kanadalainen]

Oh Damn.

That was a sneaky injury, never registered that one.

We'll be fine, but our game (and PK) may change a bit. Will the Jets hunt for a rental?

 

[Eyeseeing]

This could hurt his trade value potentially as he seems to be injured a lot.
Has he ever played a full year ?

 

[Guerzy]

Not the news you want to hear. Better now than a couple or few weeks from now which could have potentially kept him out for round one of the playoffs. Hopefully his recovery goes as planned and he can return to the line-up with a couple of weeks left in the regular season schedule and get his game legs and rhythm back in time for the playoffs.

To be honest with our depth and the way this team has played this year to this point, I'm not concerned.

 

[BigZ65]

f*** the 3 on 3 overtime. Guys on way too long shifts selling out all over the place after already playing a game. Hate it. It’s dangerous.

Niku's played a considerable amount of time at RD on the Moose the season.

Regardless of that, Poolman will certainly be the one getting the call-up.

 

[ulf]

We play better when the forwards play a strong backchecking game. Lots of scoring up front when we need it. Morrisey and Chariot played very well together in the AHL playoffs a couple years back. Nice to have depth and options.

 

[jetsforever]

What?! This isn't good, although I think we can survive.

 

[PerryPooley]

I knew someone was getting injured that game with the way the Anaheim Dicks were throwing their weight around

 

[Jimby]

This.

I doubt he'd be ready to handle the defensive responsibilities at the NHL level at this point

 

[surixon]

Well this absolutely blows. So much for better injury luck this year.....

 

[Huffer]

Bad news for the Jets as Trouba was really playing great. He and Morrissey have been rock solid this year.

I think it's laughable to panic at this stage. the guy is likely out 6 to 8 weeks, he didn't get his leg amputated. We'll have Buff, Myers, and Poolman on the right side. The Jets might have been in a position to pick up a depth D for the playoffs. Now they can go and do that early if they like (or they can wait and see if they need it), and then have the depth guy ready when Trouba is healthy for the playoffs.

Que the nonsense trade proposals on the main board for top pairing D men. I don't doubt people trying to "help" the Jets try to make it seem like moving Trouba for help now makes sense for us. lol.

It was Trouba cross checking Silfverberg that caused Jakob#1 to fall to the ice. Jacob#2 then tripped over him precipitating the injury.

Playing less like Stuart & more like Morrissey would have #8 healthy still. Being anchored to #5 for two seasons have him playing with some unhealthy habits.
