Bad and unfortunate thing for Stuart, but possibility for Jets.

According to Maurice...it's Pardy time!!

Great. Stu breaks hand and the D instantly improves. There goes our bottom 5 finish. >_>

Yep, Stu was a key part of the tank.

 

[JJ McCubbin]

Well that sucks. Hopefully it's closer to 4 weeks. I'd like to see Postma get a few games while Stu is out but it looks like he'll have to wait for the chance.

Naturally. Postma would never be an option

 

[Hunter368]

That sucks, hurts his chances of being traded at the TD.

He was not gonna be traded IMO

 

[Jetabre]

Yep, Stu was a key part of the tank.

Pretty big blow.

 

[Channelcat]

That is terrible news in every way. I actually think he couldve been traded, although the Jets don't seem very inclined to move him.

Team Tank's reaction to this news:

 

[gbill2004*]

This is why we need to trade Ladd ASAP. Don't need Ladd getting injured and ruining all our plans of a first rounder and a nice prospect.

 

[KCjetsfan]

I hope that pardy and postma take this opportunity to prove that they can perform better than stuart. make it so damn obvious to maurice that maybe we can start next year with better player usage.

 

[gbill2004*]

At this stage in his career, Stuart really should; be down playing in the AHL with the Moose. He's no longer an NHL calibre player.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Oh no, here comes the winning streak...

 

[Hunter368]

Agree.......but a guy can dream can't he?

 

[Romang67]

This is why we need to trade Ladd ASAP. Don't need Ladd getting injured and ruining all our plans of a first rounder and a nice prospect.

Agreed. Only reason not to trade him yet would be in the hopes of a bidding war, but we really can't afford him getting injured.

Sucks for Stu. I'm surprised he doesn't get injured more often with that playing style.

Who's a better fit for Trouba, Postma or Pardy?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Who's a better fit for Trouba, Postma or Pardy?

Pardy is LHD Postma is RHD like Trouba. So Pardy is a better match for Trouba.

 

[10Ducky10]

Everybody always ragging on Trouba, let Trouba play with Enstrom....why does he always get the anchor?

 

[Chewmasey]

Pardy is LHD Postma is RHD like Trouba. So Pardy is a better match for Trouba.

Makes sense. I thought Postma played LD at times as well.
Plus Pardy playing gets Pardy PP time up front

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

Oh no, here comes the winning streak...

I actually laughed out loud when I read the news on sportsnet, the very first thought in my mind was, "those poor tanker fans."

I like Pardy. Nice that he gets a chance to play again.

 

[nobody important]

So, anytime that anybody has brought forward a "Jets have a winning record with so-and-so out of the lineup" posting, they have been immediately shouted down with reasons why there is no cause and effect relationship there, but now it's just a given that the team will start winning more entirely from Stu's absence?

Yup, okay then.

Agreed. I feel bad for Stu because injuries suck but those guys really need a long term shot and this cold be it.
