GDT: Winnipeg Jets @ Anaheim Ducks - Honda Centre Jan 3 8:00 CT

[Duke749]

Jets are playing the 3rd like i feel can it just be over regroup for Nashville

Ducks seem to be clogging up the NZ pretty good.

Edmonton comparisons are silly. It's like thinking the worst possible situation will happen no matter what you do.
"We should do X."
"Well Edmonton did X and look what happened to them?"

Plenty of teams have blown up some of their core and returned to form a much better team a few years down the line.

Very few teams go to that extent though. Im not sure you are suggesting getting rid of our 5 or 6 best players. No teams do that. A couple, yes. Which could happen. All of them, no.

Postma Pardy would be my choice but I'll settle for that.

Maurice will probably go with what he's running right now though

Ditto

Ok, time for an epic comeback. Just to mess with all the guys who bailed on this game early.

I hope you're right! I still remember that from people turning off the game moments before "The Pass" courtesy of Stegall

 

[Duke749]

Net. Need to hit the net.

But there still getting chances and we are not

Oh my god..... This power play is not WORKING, for the love of all that is good in the world change something!

Guess losing to the 2nd worse team in the Pacific division (I'm going to read a book and won't know till tomorrow if they pull out a win), after losing to the worst team in the Pacific (do I need to mention who in Alberta) is disgraceful to say the least.

.... ....

You do realize the Ducks and Jets have basically the same point total right?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Hutch actually stopped a breakaway

 

[rkp]

Google?

and u insinuate by that remark it was one of a winning one?

They play against a softer division, we play against brick walls.

 

[Randal61]

Passing is disgusting tonite

 

[kxx]

Ducks playing with their food

Don't see the purpose in discussing that of 5+ years ago

 

[bustamente]

Anaheim bench having a good laugh

Ladd, Buff and Enstrom IMO. Your same old tiring argument was exhausted when we made the playoffs and got swept.I guess we could go all in on this core right now and be much worse off 5 years down the road after making playoffs maybe once or twice and never making it passed the 1st/2nd round.
The question is do you want to just make the playoffs or do you actually want to be a contender? This core hasn't, won't and can't get it done. Time to move on.

So if we got rid of the "Atlanta core" is Scheifele, Trouba and Ehlers a good enough group to win a cup with in the future?

I'm suggesting trading some of them over a period of time. You see what happens but hanging onto them until they begin to decline and then trying to build a contending team from 9th-16th draft picks won't get you far. We can do begin to move on from them this season or we go absolutely all in on this core. I'm saying the later would be a mistake. And just wading through mediocrity is also a mistake.

 

[Duke749]

Wow Buff...

 

[Duke749]

They play against a softer division, we play against brick walls.

We're our own brick wall.

 

[Kamo]

We're our own brick wall.

Wish we had our brick wall in net right now

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Don't think we need a PGT. Just link to the tank thread.

 

[rkp]

if the same players contributing to the then record are the same players contributing to the jets win loss record...yessss

 

[Ducky10]

We're our own brick wall.

The road is our brick wall.
