Player Discussion: Kyle Connor : Lady Byng Winner

[ps241]

Agreed, except to me “zero edge” always sounds so much like “zero compete”.
How about zero road rage or zero “lose it” or zero melt-down or is “zero edge”
really what you would tell him to his face?
Just wondering…

I didn’t mean for it to imply zero compete. Jean Beleveau was really competitive I mean they don’t have that physical edge to their game that can lead to penalties. Both exceptionally clean players.

Agreed, gotcha. Great point…

55 should be in on this award….

Not to mention his playoffs performance historically, especially scoring is pretty decent and aligns with some pretty big names in hockey.

Some people are just delusional

He has one of the biggest drops in regular season ppg vs PO's among the group of top scoring wingers in the nhl. Granted, a couple points can sway ppg either way. However, overall I think we needed more out of him the PO's in previous series.

 

[GNP]

I wonder if Connor can score, 50 goals in 50 games ? Tough to do, but he has the talent to do it.

Could have been worse. IF it is only 6 weeks - Connor and jets got lucky.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Also - timing was at least good. Week off around Christmas and jets bye week late January take away 2 weeks and likely 6 to 8 games that would have been played without him. Early Feb return is such a better result than him being out for the year, which is what I’m sure many fans were thinking watching the hit live.

totally. 6 weeks at this time is best possible outcome.

Toninato can take over for KC.

 

[Guardian17]

I'm happy it wasn't worse.

 

[EpicGingy]

Considering how he wasn't even moving after he went down I consider this good news. No surgery and back in time for the playoff push is all I dared to be hopeful for.

 

[Hobble]

Have the Jets made any player movement yet? It would be interesting to see if any of the Moose’s offensive players could fill in, or at least compensate for someone else being bumped up.

 

[bustamente]

Replacing a player that has scored 20 % of the teams goals is going to be difficult but I think this years team is better suited to having some players pick up the slack. No sure if they bring someone up from the Moose just yet

 

[jetsforever]

6-8 weeks?! That's pretty long, hope he's able to recover ASAP

 

[Dirtbag151]

If he's out the full 8 weeks (worse case ) he will miss 21 games
if its 6 weeks he misses 18 games
we are back from our break on the 6th which is 8 weeks from today

Skate news:

Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov were skating. So were Dominic Toninato, Kristian Reichel, Jeffrey Viel & Jeff Malott meaning any of the players who were seen as potential recalls were all on the ice for the Moose. With San Jose being a bit more difficult to get to it would make sense the Jets might simply have that player fly directly to L.A. to meet the team where they conclude their four-game road trip tomorrow night.

Same here.

I would much prefer to see Lambert or Chibrikov called up

But I understand if the Jets are thinking about promoting up the line up (Vilardi to top line, iafallo or Barron to second and someone else who is called up to fourth) and decide on someone else, and keep giving lambert and chibrikov top 6 mins in the A for development

Toninato can take over for KC.

Not even Toninato's mom would believe that

 

[moosehead81]

6-8 weeks and Strome gets nothing. He'll be introduced to Mr Lowry next time they get together I'll bet

Maybe it's time to dress seven D and give Tyrel Bauer his NHL debut

His stat line:

TOI: 0:12
G: 0
A: 0
PIM: 17
