He's been really good overall. Great forechecker, good speed and size, and a surpassingly strong playmaker with a scoring touch. Had some real nice chemistry with Harkins and maybe they see some time together now. His English wasn't great to star, according to Vincent, but seems to have improved and he's a very hard worker (again, as per Vincent), shift in shift out.

I was a fan of Chibisov earlier in the season. He seemed like a Tanev replacement. The Jets could use a player like that right now.

Chibby will have fun sitting in the PB while borque stinks it up.

Interesting developmental plan, we have with that Bourque fella......

Bourque played his best game as a jet last night. Don’t think they sit him now.

The whole 4th line played pretty well. Maybe Chibisov in for Shaw?

A player that skates really fast but gets nothing accomplished?

Watched him live with the Moose 4x. Liked him in every game and felt he would be the next call up many times. Finally, we get to see what he looks like against the best.

But keep expectations low, I feel his upside is an effective NHL 4th liner and he’s, what, 26-27 years old already?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Meh he will play 4mins a game with PoMo the brilliant around.

really no real news at all this call up is.

let the tank begin I hope.

Yeah, you certainly don’t want to lose that kind of contribution......

I like a lot of aspects of Bourque's game, positioning and finishing checks. But Chibisov has hands, to go with the size. He could give a boost to the 4th line. I agree with that move, if it happens. Shaw is playing with more confidence, I like his game too, but I wonder what Shore would look like at centre with Chibisov and Spacek on his wings, for instance. The Jets need to know what they have in some of their prospects this year, before they can make a decision on them for next year. Or consider moving them laterally, in search of other pieces.
