Yeah i'd really like to see Jack tried on the pk, especially if he's not going to be on the PP anymore. Second lowest ice time among forwards next to Petan.
I’m surprised Landeskog didn’t stick his nose in the dirty business.
Didn't catch the game...how did our new third line look?
Btw, seeing how effective Patty is on PP...should we start to play him on both PPs...at least at times?
Bang on, I commented after the 1st that I hadn't seen Laine and Ehlers below the goal line working the puck that much all year. In fact it was exactly that type of work that led to the Copp opportunity that he unfortunaely whifffed on. Body position is so key, especially at the NHL level, it's a big part of what makes Schief, Wheeler and Perreault so effective, they have great angles and know how to get position. It's not simply a matter of strength, this is the part of the game that Laine is still working on and last night he was pretty effective at it. It buys him more time, which is so precious at this level, space is taken away so quickly.There hasn1t been much comment on this yet to the best of my recollection. Based strictly on watching the game live (w/o advantage of the pvr) I thought that both Ehlers and Laine played a much better game and somewhat differently than they have in the past. They seemed to be getting more in tune with what Maurice wants of them in terms of attempted pressure forecheck and even modest cycle work. They were both going deeper into the offensive zone, and importantly did not evacuate the zone prematurely as they have been inclined to do until now. This would be a very positive step forward indeed if done on a consistent basis. I thought Copp did a very good job helping these guys, both in the offensive and defensive zones, exactly as might be hoped given his style of play. Keep in mind though that they were at home where Maurice could shelter them through line matchups.

Copp did a terrific job going through lanes and taking guys with him, when they didn't Laine and Ehlers found him, he was excellent. That's as much about offensive hockey ad playing with the puck, what Copp did off the puck set the tone for that line. Their breakouts were as good as I've seen all year as well, Laine was coming through the neutral zone with pace, the matchups really helped them in that regard.
Chiarot has been the biggest surprise for me. He’s actually pretty good.
Good grief, some people are such losers. If I saw that I'd do my best to make sure security got to her and hopefully she never had the privilege of seeing anothet game.At the game last night in great lower bowl seats. Right in front of us was a dad and his son and the son's GF, kid looked around 18 or 19, dad in a Jets jersey, son in an Avs jersey. Poor kid didn't have much to cheer about and his dad was razzing him pretty good, all in good fun... although he did pop down and pose for some photos behind the Avs bench with the players in the background.
Then with about 5 to go in the game this 40ish woman with a smug look suddenly appears beside his row and dumps her entire bag of popcorn over the kid in the Avs jersey. Took a few seconds for all of us to realize what had happened while she scurried up to the exit and disappeared. We thought what?... she must know him... my wife asked the kid did you know her, he just shrugged and said no. She helped him pick the popcorn out of his hoodie. The dad was kind of laughing it off at first saying well at least it wasn't a beer before he kind of changed his mind and said wow that's pretty rude.
What the hell is wrong with people? Imagine if that was a family in visiting from Colorado. Nice job.
Bomber games at the old stadium could be pretty vicious, especially in the upper deck or occasionally in the old section S student section.Sporting spectacles can bring out a lot of thugs actually. I had a couple incidents at the old stadium during Bomber games mind you I wore an Eskimo jersey once. I can handle any of the verbal stuff but not cool when it escalates to more than that. Even had a kerfluffle in the old arena back in 1.0 days and I wasn't even drunk yet and cheering for the Jets.

This will have no context but Trouba is not resigning here and Myers is NOT better than Trouba. I mean I love the guy but come on.
Love seeing Buff fired up and contributing. This is what I want to see from him in the playoffs, hopefully he won't try to do too much. I didn't like him punching Greer when the linesman had Greer wrapped up, but I LOVE him sticking up for Wheeler.
Did you guys see him giving it to Hendricks on the PP when he basically put himself offside. Savage!

Yeah I get thatWear opposing team jersey at your own risk. The popcorn incident is an absolutely disgraceful and disgusting act, but having said that when you wear a jersey other than the home teams, a very small part of you is knowingly trolling

What a clown.
I don't know about that ... I go to the Jet games in Vancouver lots of people wearing Jet gear and I never had or seen a problem.Wear opposing team jersey at your own risk.
