No I mean he sucked in all the pucks. Like a vacuum. Lol He gave up almost no rebounds all night.
Guess I should have been more clear.
The difference that a simple comma makes.
"He was sucking, in everything."
"He was sucking in everything."
Everybody, well, almost everybody, totally misread the original post. I've been laughing reading all the confusion since.
Really good game by a lot of the youngins. Too bad that the Tank Commander didn't do his job, but a win against the Avs always feels good.
Not so interested in the game results these days, but trying to see how some of the young players are progressing.
Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the last stretch of games is the improving play of Lowry, Copp and Burmi.
Lowry is looking more and more like the "good" Lowry from last year. Copp seems to be figuring things out and is starting to generate more scoring chances for himself and teammates. Burmi has been strong in all three zones. His play with the puck has become a lot more clean, direct and crisp. He's generating a lot more in the offensive zone than earlier in the season.
I liked Dano last night. He has a good stick and really understands space, timing and positioning. So he's a very good complimentary player with other good players. He's also strong and physical. I'm still a bit concerned about his lack of speed and quickness, but I think he can still improve as he gets stronger and in better condition.
I'd like to see Petan get a chance with the Jets in a top-9 role before the season ends to see how he's progressed.
The Jets are going to have some tough decisions at forward in pre-season next year. There'll be a lot of young players banging on the door.

Burmi's Corsi is never very good. Not convinced he's a player worth hanging onto - be happy to see him traded while he still has perceived value.

You know since the Jets have basically known they were not going to make the playoffs the 2 guys that have , to me anyway , not given up and playing hard every game is Scheifele and Big Buff !! I think one of those two should be are next captain and assistant , they are both leaders on the ice and both love playing for the Jets , Scheifele said the other day he wants to be a Jet for life .
Both are captain material except when it comes to talking with media. Can't see a chance that either could be the next captain -- down the road, however, yes Scheif all the way

Two ways to see the success of the young guys - for the future of the team, or value in trades going forward.

The only place Burmi has value is with Jets fans but only half of those, you either love him or hate him.

Did he really? When? Where? I'd watch that
Scheifele is the only younger Jet I'd believe already saying something like that.

Yeah, I enjoyed it too. I just wish we could give the 2 points back.
I could have enjoyed it almost as much if it had been exactly the same except Pav gave up 6. Sorry, I want a high pick.
Every team in the bottom 5 is going to win a couple games, so I'm not too bothered about a single win. If they put a streak together, that will be annoying.

In a interview with 1290. They asked him about Ladd and if that showed him it could be him one day. His answer made me smile, said no, said if Yzerman could do it so could he ( stay with one organization). Said he is jet wants to stay a jet for the rest of his career. He went into a few other things about why he never wants to leave. But it was heart felt and very honest.
I was yelling sign him for 8 years after it.

Over the past 10 games:

5v5 relCF% - ~8.0

can't really argue he hasn't been better in the last 10....meets the eye test....will it persist?
His effort has always been there. He's fast and plays physically.
What seems to be improving over the latter part of the season is his decision-making with the puck. He's making much more direct plays, moving the puck quicker, etc.

I am pretty sure I just needed a break last night. Usually I can compartmentalize and keep focused on the fact this strategy gives us the best chance for a top tier talent out of this draft.
I've been mostly critical of Burmi this season, but agreed he has been playing very well the last 10 games or so. At one point I wasn't sure I saw a future for him with the Jets, but I think he could end up being really solid bottom 6 player for us.
I don't care what the tankers thought, that win last night was awesome. We had three cocky Avs fans in front of us all game talking trash to everyone with the lead. When the Jets scored that second and third goal they sure got quiet. Some old man from a few rows up limped down and offered them all a kleenex (not kidding). Everyone clapped. Hahaha!

And did you notice Thor not even thinking of ever going after him later in the game. Thor doesn't even fight anymore.

Yea what is the purposes of having a fighter or fighters if Mcleod can do that to our hottest player? Not sure how that wasn't a penalty either, name one Jet D man that could do the same thing to Duchene and get away with it?

There was one play at the end boards in I think the Avs zone when some big dumb oaf tried to line Burmi up for what he thought was going to be a crushing blow. Sure, he moved Burmi a couple of inches, but the gigantic meathead himself almost somersaulted backward off concrete Burmi about five feet, taking himself completely out of the play. I love that kind of hilarious stuff from Burmi. So strong on his skates, like Mighty Mouse.
