Like how we start to bring it physically and the refs nip it in the bud... sigh...

Spaghetti.

This all over. Eliminate those questionable calls, let the MEN play tough hockey and the Jets would have won this one, I think.

That 5-minute powerless play was awful.

I for one blame Stafford for not being able to get an easy hat trick

The Jets kind of suck, guys.

If they let the men play hockey then they would not have called the 5 minutes on Watson.

He was hurt. They were calling that one all day long.

Yes, clean body checks and direct blows to the head are the same.

Brilliant.

Thought kosmo had a good first game. Noticeable, and not in a bad way.

 

[Duke749]

That is a funny graph Garret. I assume the red line is league average?

Well I thought they played hard again, but given the state of our forward core I'm not too surprised by the outcome.

I thought both Kosmo and Lipon showed some nice energy.

I really can't stand Pavs body language. He needs to at least try on some of those.

I'm also getting sick of the Postma - Chariot bottom pairing and I don't like how Myers and Trouba play together. Both like to advance too much which leads to odd man chances against.

Get Morrissey up and run these for the rest of the year.

Enstrom Buff
Morrissey Trouba
Chariot Myers

Wheeler looks kinda useless with Stafford on his opposite wing while Scheif seems just fine. Seems odd, no?

You know what annoys me about Wheeler? He gets frustrated and says 'f it, I"ll do it myself'. Powerplay or evenstrength he goes in by himself vs 3-4 guys from the other team.

Trouba is just excited he finally gets a chance to play away from Stu again

Yeh I see what you mean. But Stafford just doesn't work on his wing. I really think we should move him off no matter what. Think Thor would even be as effective there.

Have thought Wheeler has been kind of meh last 2 games.

No stats to back it up and he is still superior to some of our other players but isn't dragging the team out of the abyss as often as he did in Jan and Feb.

 

[bustamente]

I think the other teams figured out our pp plan is to feed Buff at the point after 3 games this year, Kosmo good first outing, Trouba has become very steady and not making stupid pinches and getting caught unless he scores a goal, Pavs is Pavs other than that a whole lot of meh.

The guy has played with Ladd and Little for years now. I don't think he's happy about Ladd being traded, nor is he all that excited about playing without Bryan Little as well. Kinda hit him all at once, and with how the seasons going I expect him to regress a bit. The guy is human after all.

Lol, true enough. I also have no issue with Trouba rushing the puck as its when hes at his best. I think Morrissey who like Enstrom has no issue hanging back a bit to support his partner would be a better fit.

Wheeler was playing fine with EHlers and Scheif. He has only struggled since Stafford has been on his wing. I think you're looking for something that isn't there.

That line is going to tear it up next year, Stafford does not compliment that line at all, he needs the game to be slowed down when he is on the ice , fast pace is beyond him now.

 

[Chewmasey]

I think Stafford plays a slower paced game not suited for Schef and Wheels. He's better suited for Little.

Well Stafford has dragged Scheifele and Wheeler down before so its not surprising that him there is impacting Wheeler again. I think Scheifele who has played more with Stafford this year has adapted better. But yeah I don't really like the line. I also think Wheeler more so than Scheifele needs to LH passing option to make him more dangerous as opponents don't respect his shot like they do Mark.
