What will the lines look like?

Is Hendricks in concussion protocol?

#freePoolman

Score 4 goals = guaranteed win

 

[kanadalainen]

I hope Hendricks is NOT in concussion protocol. I've seen the light when it comes to what he brings to the team.

My heart says: Jets 4 -0
My brain counters with: Jets 3 - 0*

*Even if they Hendricks-free**.

**EDIT: Never mind.

I have been pretty hard on Charoit but he has been pretty good lately , i don't know who Poolman would push out of the lineup right now . If Hendricks is out i say try Petan with Laine and Ehlers .

Chiarot has been adequate in the absence of Trouba, he's played well in his own zone and has been pretty good separating his man from the puck, he's ridiculously strong. My biggest issue with him other than his penchant for icing the puck, is his inability to maintain a gap. He gives up his blue line too easily which imo cause the Jets more defensive zone time and negatively affects their breakout and transition game.

Having said that, he's playing within his ability and limiting his mistakes. Not sure you can ask a lot more from your 7th guy, we all know he's not Trouba.

 

[Lowered Expectations]

If Jets win and we don`t see ELL I`m happy. Oh, and no more injuries!

 

[White Out 902]

i hate the avalanche. i cant say why specifically. maybe its their annoying PA guy. maybe its because they should be in quebec? who knows.

WIN.

 

[mcpw]

Lemieux assigned to Moose.

so Hendricks is probably good to go.

The Super Mario power up sound their arena plays whenever they kill a penalty does it for me.

will Mack be playing?

His last practice was non-contact jersey

Ehlers - Copp - Laine just sounds dysfunctional.

This probably means that the top 6 will share the toughest matchups, no?

E & L need to earn their way back into the top 6. Don't sulk. Perform on the ice. Play better

Dude, have you seen my posts?

I like the Perreault-Little tandem quite a lot, so this is fine by me. Good to see Roslovic rewarded for his stellar play too.

Don't get Ehlers, guy was great back early on heck he had about 17 goals before xmas and looked like he would score 40, since then he looks lost out there!

Why say dysfunctional then?

 

[PerryPooley]

It actually surprises a bit that Laine hasn’t been successful on a line with Bryan Little. I used to see Little as such a valuable and versatile player that you would think he would be great setting up Laine for offensive chances. Has Little slipped to such a degree or is Laine the problem right now in this case?
Or is it a simple matter of lack of chemistry between two very good players?

Not a fan of any line with Laine and Ehlers on it, to be honest. Or the thought of such a line, anyway.

There is a Laine thread in which this topic has been beaten to death, reincarnated, and then killed again. Discussion on Laine goes there.

Laine had some success with Little last year, this year they habent been able to get much going. I think some of it is that Little started really slow. I also think that had they capitalized on more of their chances earlier in the year we'd be having a different conversation.

They need to earn their way back to Little's line, where none of them have chemistry? Oh baby, i can't wait!

I'm ok with these lines, ELL wouldn't be any better than ECL.

 

[Carbooja]

Ehlers and Laine have had some defensive gaff's this year, being on Copp's line who himself is a solid responsible center can only help those two.

Once E & L are playing better chemistry won't be an issue
