GDT: Jets vs Mighty Ducks (Jan-25th, 9PM) - "Plane Crazy"

I hope he's not being showcased for a trade. I would be unhappy if that happens.

As long as the Jets pay him as a top 6 there is no need to trade him.

 

[Jimby]

Maurice addressed that yesterday. Agrees Armia should be up there but right now needs him in the role he is in.

Don't think Connor should have been gifted into the top 6 and don't like Roslo being gifted there either, a guy like Armia may have already earned top 6 minutes yet he never gets promoted! IMO

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Since Ehlers has moved to the RW he's taken his game to another level.

Let's see if Laine can do the same.

Huh? Is Patty playing left side?

 

[CaptainChef]

Looks like a Laine-Wheeler-Roslovic top line! Hope the kid shines:
Jets' Roslovic up to top line; Connor on 4th - Article - TSN

As I indicated in another thread, love Maurice's use of Roslo so far & don't mind Connor being demoted for now

Not in every sense of the word clearly. Just look at the OP. Which one is the top line? You can start from the top. This is a silly thing to argue about though.

In regards to the game. The rule of averages say that an L is inbound sooner or later. It feels like this would be where that happens. That being said, they weren't playing well in the Sharks game at all so I'm hoping this is a bounce back game and we win anyway just because why not.

You know what ai mean. The media always places Wheeler on the first line. What a fan does on a forum is irrelevant. The coach doesn't use it like a first line. It's not our most effective line either. It has nothing to do with how they played last game. It's just reality.

Wyman reported so in his live tweets from practice but then in his newspaper article he had it

Roslovic Wheeler Laine.

So which one was wrong?

Edit: actually Wyman on twitter only reported that Roslo replaced Connor. Didn't do lines per se. I think he's wrong

Clinton reported the lines

Different coaches use different rosters differently.

I know exactly what you mean, but my point is that some egoistical approach to who gets to be on the "top line" is not in the best interest of the team in the first place.

I want Perreault to be able to go to the third line and not think that he is being spit on by the management and the coaching staff. I want him to think that that is the place where he can accumulate the most wins for the team as a part of a cohesive unit.

And let's face it - our first line has never been good defensively. CSW were a terrible Corsi unit. But now when that line is properly disjointed in the first place, being a weak Corsi unit is a deep problem, even if it allows the god-awful ELL to be destroyed and actually return this team to very sustainable looking advanced stats.

Great GDT Zhamnov and production crew.
Please let Chariot play so he can put another D stamp (for dumb ass) on Perry's chin again.!

 

[Whileee]

Wonder if they will any thought to getting Roslovic to play center on that line. Maybe if we get enough of a lead.

Really looking forward to seeing if Laine can do something with the move to LW. Hope so!

I actually think the line might be better with Roslovic at C. Wheeler isn't playing aggressively and fast at C, and I think Roslovic has good instincts at C.

What is the point of all this in the GDT? Are you butthurt because I'm telling the truth or something? I don't understand. I just stated a fact.

This is too meta for my tastes now, but no problem, let's let it go.

In other news, let's kill Perry's team.

Great.

The real point of my post was to show how unobservant and at times inept Winnipeg hockey media is.

Gotcha, did not mean to heat things up.

Just for the record, what is the definition of "top line"?

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

As a fan you always want your team to win, but there are some teams you want to beat more than others. The Ducks are one of those teams for me. I'll be cheering for a blow out win from work.

Go JETS Go

Or "D" for "douche bag"

In the analytics world they generally use TOI.

I'm all in for that!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

We need him playing with Copp/Lowry and make use of his defensive abilities. Maurice said as much.

What? He doesn't get to use his defensive abilities on another line?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I'm not impressed by these lines at all. Not even a little bit. Which probably means all lines get hot and we win by 8.

 

[MardyBum]

What? He doesn't get to use his defensive abilities on another line?

Where he starts, who he matches up against depends on what line he's on. Playing with Copp means more defensive use, especially at home, which opens up easier matchups for other lines. He's our best defensive RW by a mile right now.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Well this should make for an interesting looking crowd tonight

 

[Howard Chuck]

I understand that things a tad easier in your own zone on your "natural" side. You may be on to something.

Ehlers hasn't missed a beat defensively and seems to be able to attack the middle of the ice far more effectively in the o-zone.

I hope Laine can show well on the LW and stick, he's far more deadly from that side.

Yes, Ehlers has been ridiculous since being moved back. I hope for the same from Laine. Maybe this is "taking the reins off" of the young guns.

 

[Howard Chuck]

You mean opinion.

LOL, ok, not getting involved in that....

 

[Afterburner]

Thanks guys now I have Katy Perry "Roar" stuck in my head. Quick, someone sing Celine!

Hah, it will look like a Thornton family reunion
