Not worried about the goal production whatsoever. Sometimes they come, sometimes not. The offense has been there.

This, you could watch video of that game and see this happening possibly once or twice a shift ffs. take a look at Enstrom on the sequence just before Laine's goal, he's down at the face off circle a couple of times. Trouba was down by the goal crease numerous times when a forward carried the puck back up high, all of them do it because that it how you play, this isn't 7/8 House League.That's not how it works at higher levels. Players rotate. Connor rotated up, Buff rotates down. Myers does it as does Trouba, and everyone else. It is no longer teaching pre-teens to stay at the blue line on their side. If Buff stays there, then Connor can't pass to him. Buff has to move because Connor is moving.
I really hope Maurice has realized how much more effective Little and Laine are when they are not together.
Laine's game just doesn't match up with Little's, Perreault has made that line so much better.
Roslo is a lot more noticable 5 on 5 with (... umm... I'll be mean and call them) scrubs than Petan ever was. He does have to learn to not pass the puck to Hendricks though, lol.
- Connor had some great plays, esp zone entries, and a few gaspers. The last penalty was on him, IMO -- his team-mates pretty clearly had no idea what he was doing. That extra Ehlers-loop should be left to Ehlers.
That first place should really come with an astrix as we are one point up on Nashville and played 3 games more.We'll enter tomorrow still in first place.

2nd place in the central is pretty great too.
I actually managed to catch this game (stupid work getting in the way) and anyone else think that Ehlers couldve had a couple goals last night? The last few games he has been flying and having good chances but seems to be snake bitten . Also Laines skating looks so effortless for a big guy. If you compare him to a guy like Armia (not as big but still) you can tell Armia is putting in an effort whereas Laine gets the same speed and looks like hes just out for a leisurely skate.
Games in hand mean nothing ... that tells me Nashville has had a nice schedule because the Jets just had a week off. Before the season ends they will make up those 3 games and lets hope it comes at the end of the season so they are tired come playoffs.That first place should really come with an astrix as we are one point up on Nashville and played 3 games more.
ANY place that puts us in the playoffs is really f***ing great.2nd place in the central is pretty great too.
I haven't been able to watch the game yet on replay as I was there with my kids, but I think it's interesting that the Connor turnover is what generated some discussion on Buff. I seem to remember a play I think it was closer to the 5 or 6 minutes left in the 3rd mark where he made a bad call on a pinch at the blue line that led to an odd man rush. Am I mis-remembering? That one seemed more egregious as he had no one back on that pinch, and it's those decisions when were up by a goal near the end of the game that should be eliminated. Not that he didn't have a good game overall, but that play stood out to me more than the Connor one.
Ehlers has been flying lately. It's not just the wealth of chances he's had, but how much he creates for others and how much space his speed creates. He and MP seem to be playing well together lately.
I think the one you're thinking about was actually an Enstrom pinch or step up.
No, Buff was on the left side on the play he's thinking of and he's right, it wasn't a very good decision. Nothing like the play on the Connor turnover, which wasn't on him, the other was though.I think the one you're thinking about was actually an Enstrom pinch or step up.
Buff does decide to skate forward when he also could have stayed stationary at the blueline. Connor was not looking to replace Buff, but was looking to cut to the center. Buff pinched where maybe he shouldn't have.
