Pre-Game Talk: Rags vs Jets - Sun Feb 11 2:00pm CT

[Aavco Cup]

The question becomes; why are they joined at the hip?

I don't really have a problem with it TBH.

 

[204hockey]

Little and wheeler played together for so long but for some reason coach doesn't want to put them back together??

Perr Litts Wheels
Ehl Shef Laine
Conn Ros Army
Copp Hendo Dano/petan

Why can't we try that until lowry is back to swap out roslovic

 

[MardyBum]

Break up your best line, by a mile, since Scheifele went down, after one game.

Scheifele and Wheeler struggle together, again, and you don't break them up, you break up Perreault and Little who are magic together.

Okay.

 

[PhilJets]

Come on Jets..

Need to beat the Rangers.

Im so use to you winning at home.

Its very different and that lost stings.

 

[nobody important]

Not better than Eric Hellebuyck.

Dang, Maurice was quick to break up LSW, I would've liked to see them get one more game. That and he leaves Myers on the top pairing. Hope they don't lay another egg.

Okay.

Somehow on paper we look like a worse team with Scheifele in the lineup with these lines than we looked without Scheifele with the old lines.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I'm surprised no csw keep plE together

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Wouldnt it be a smart thing to break up Wheeler and Scheif? Spread the wealth a bit? Sort of tells me Maurice doesnt really run the room... The players do.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I get this sick feeling that we are gonna start losing more now.

Too much line juggling going on.

It could also be because we are playing Dano and Petan and don't have Lowry and Tanev

I find it hard to believe Tanev in particular makes that much of a difference .

Funny, This is almost exactly what I was thinking for lines also:
Laine (lw) Scheif. Ehlers. (rw)
Perreault. Little. Wheeler
Connor. Roslo. Armia
Copy. Lowry. Tanev

It is 100% because Wheeler and scheif want it so it has to happen. Pretty stupid. Spread out the top 2 guys who can drive a line. We would be such a better team with them split. We have so much talent to go around, but we have prob our best 3 line drivers all together now. ELL was a failure because none of there styles match well, and none of them can really drive a line like Wheeler and Scheifele can

 

[Adam da bomb]

I find it hard to believe Tanev in particular makes that much of a difference .

I don't. I luv me some Tanev.

 

[LowLefty]

I find it hard to believe Tanev in particular makes that much of a difference .

Why -
He's more effective than both these guys in the role he plays on the 4th line.
He'll be welcomed back with open arms - we miss his speed, tenacity, and hitting - look no further than the Blues game

 

[LowLefty]

Don't be too shocked if the coach decides to run his lines differently than you or I would - it's not like these two haven't had success playing together and he's willing to give them more than one game since Scheif's return, to prove it.

 

[ocdaddy]

Last year's Rangers game at MTS was one of those many games that were lost in the final minute.

This year's a different story. Ehlers and Chef are due for some snipes. And Im not just talking about Scheif being hurt. He's due from before that.

4-1 Jerts

 

[Whileee]

Don't like these lines. Ehlers and Little play like a 4th line when Laine is playing with them. I would have given the LSW line one more game to show something and if they continued to suck I would have promoted Connor/Roslovic to the top line and moved Laine to the 3rd line. I now fully expect that "2nd line" to be a sub-47% Corsi line and spend their shifts in the defensive zone.

Scheifele and Wheeler have actually not been very good together defensively - below par in shot metrics. ELL has also struggled. If Scheifele and Wheeler aren't scoring and the Jets don't have the PP humming, the top-6 hasn't been as effective as they need to be down the stretch.

 

[pucka lucka]

Hmm, more reasons why PoMo is not a good coach. He is what worries me about the playoffs. He’s killing Helle, Wheeler and Scheif. His lines seem to be put together to please certain players.

Not a fan. He seems unwilling or incapable of making the correct adjustments. We just happen to have a lot of really good players that make it difficult to lose much.

You don’t get why Copp, Lowry, Tanev are and sometimes Armia are the third line and why they play 15-20 minutes per game? Hint it’s starts with D
