First! We're doomed

EDIT: Hopefully the Jets can finally score; it doesn't suit them to score as much as I did in high school

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Have to win at home again eventually. I'm going to the game tomorrow, I'd rather not leave 2/3 of the way through the third period like I did at the Leafs game a couple weeks ago...

 

[macmaroon]

We need to beat those Canuckleheads tomorrow, or at the very least, score some goals... I'm looking to you Laine...
Go Jets Go!

 

[jefferoni]

Copper is movin' on up...
JoMo and Peeeyonk paired up...
Sami stays with Potato...

 

[Atoyot]

Copp and Lowry bring out the best in each other. I don't understand making them both worse in order to make the second line worse.

Trying to reward his recent leadership displays? Who knows?

 

[raideralex99]

Canucks had 8 power plays against the Wild the other night ... lets hope the PK is working.

The anticipation...

I think Copp makes the 2nd line better. I am more worried about the Lowry-line without Copp. Also, I don't think Perreault or Roslovic belongs on a checking line. I'd swap either for Appleton.

I don't get the Copp/Lowry divorce, but whatever.

I think Borque needs to make way, either for Harkins or another call-up (Chibbers, maybe?). He has been brutal for most of the year, though I'd rather he makes the 4th line worse rather than the 3rd, I guess.

Yes because Copp will drag the 2nd line down the same way Roslovic was...

Copp makes Lowry better. Not the other way around.

Copp + Lowry are better together, but their best this year is still "at least we didn't get scored on". I'm all for the split, but I'd divide them among the bottom two lines.

He likely will, given what we saw the past few games he was used on that line. More than anything the Wheeler at C experiment should be over. Worked for a bit but it's hit a solid brick wall. Same as the last time he was used there.

And no, they work well together. It's a mutually beneficial partnership.

So you think Copp is a defensive liability then because that’s what Roslovic has been lately and there’s been no offense? I’m There’s a reason that switch was made the other day and Roslovic’s play picked up significantly while allowing the 2nd line to not constantly get hemmed in.

You're overstating how often they got hemmed in and maybe if players were playing their natural positions they'd be better at breaking out of the zone?
But yeah, let's trade our ability to maintain any pressure in the offensive zone to be a little better in our own end.

How has Roslovic contributed to zone time lately? He’s hardly noticeable. It’s mostly Ehlers carrying that line lately.

 

[Guffman]

Roslovic: GP: 46 G: 7 A: 10 P: 17
Copp: GP: 38 G: 7 A: 9 P: 16

It's a shame Roslovic isn't getting enough production despite planning a good chunk of the season in the Top 6.

 

[robertocarlos]

Jets are going to bust out of the starting gate this time.

 

[gojetsgo]

they should give appleton a chance with ehlers and wheeler and put frenchie to the fourth line
