GDT: Jets vs Hurricanes - 10/13 7PM - Debut of Laine

[Rheged]

Won't believe the Stuart scratch till I see them on the ice!

 

[robertocarlos]

That's good. A Lawless tweet this morning implied Hutch was getting the start and I was a bit unhappy.

What does Lawless know.

 

[Aavco Cup]

No Pav
No Thorburn
No Stuart

Is this real life?

RR also saying Stuart looks like a scratch

Chiarot-Postma pairing

Stu, Thorbs and Burmi in the press box

Burmi will be high on glue and enter a substance abuse program by game 5.

So it doesn't look like Stuart is in the line-up tonight..

Pavelec to the AHL, Thorburn and Stuart healthy scratched...

I can't believe it.

Wow, can't say I expected that given Chariots poor camp but I'm impressed. Ben needs to take advantage of this. The great news no Stu on the PK

I feel like I am in bizarro world.

Did that for you haha

In all seriousness, though, I don't think Laine is going to have much impact this season because he still needs to transition to the North American style of play. Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad the Jets picked him and he has a lot of hockey skill sets but I think he's going to be jittery the beginning part of this season.

 

[wpgsilver]

I really feel like I don't recognize this Jets organization. Its great.

 

[Aavco Cup]

With Stuart a healthy scratch our slowest skaters are Lowry and Stafford

 

[garret9]

All contracts were signed by Maurice!

lol.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I feel like I am in bizarro world.

No kidding!

So we go with questionable decisions for 5 years and then in a one week period the Jets go all sensible and rational on us?

Did they hold us back to get to a certain point and now they open the floodgates and let the team perform at their best?

WHAT'S GOING ON?????

I'm completely content to let him learn and grow. He's shown that he's a very quick study, so I think it will happen fairly quickly, but the beginning will be a feeling out period I'm sure.

Did the Coyotes give permission to hang those?

 

[roccerfeller]

Whoa!!!!! Stuart benched???


Also - absolutely love the Avco cup banners up in the MTS Centre!

 

[ps241]

Jets haven't hired you have they?

Weird scenes inside the Gold Mine?

Most people including me think you are wrong

Now that the Jets have cashed in on a 2OA, they are finally getting rid of the charade that they considered Stuart, Pavelec and Thorburn as being NHL calibre.

Clearly they were inconspicuously tanking all this time.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but I'm not completely offside with this thought.

It's like they are doing everything right all at once.

Why? Because I speak the truth more than a lot of people here? Laine is going to be a very good player and he will have a very fruitful career. But let's get real here: he is no Stamkos, Tavares, McDavid, Eichel, or Matthews. All those players are accustomed to the North American game. Laine is not. It will take some time for this kid to get used to the style of play here. In fact, he is also no Sundin, Jagr, or Ovechkin in terms of immediately getting the ball rolling for the Jets.

I'm guessing he will be a 40-45 point getter this season. We have to wait several years before he reaches the 70-85 point mark.

I'm ok with an 85 point 20 year old
