HUGE game. Pretty much a must-win.

Agreed, if we don't win this one we'll need to start another "tank" thread!

 

[jetsforever]

Not sure if I'll be able to watch, but Petan, Vesalainen, Niku, Stanley are all interesting players to watch

 

[Halberdier]

I'm pretty sure ELL will troll us all tonight and dominate with crazy chemistry.

Well, Maurice is trolling us with ELL, so maybe they troll him back.

Very long history has shown that they lack chemistry, but as they are really good players, two of them really young and rapidly developing and other of those youngsters rated TOP-10-20 NHL player already, they will be better than last season. But it's still dumb.

Ferrari may beat Lada even using only reverse gear. But it's stupid as they could turn the Ferrari to right direction and win big time.

At least give them TOI this time, and tell Little to not stay back, as that's what Laine does.

 

[Shazzam]

I don't have much hope in ELL line. Little style just doesn't complement either of them. Also not seeing much chemistry between Laine and Ehlers either, despite their bromance. Hope they prove me wrong this year.

 

[Halberdier]

Just wondering if there are any (legal/free) streams available for the game. I'm paying for Viaplay that is the official NHL broadcaster here and shows all regular season & playoffs, but it seems they are not interested in pre-season games.

I think the Ehlers/ Laine chemistry is a weird situation. Sometimes it has looked incredible and most of the time not so much imo. But every time I hear either of them talk about it in interviews it comes across as if they have a special bond on the ice as well. Outside of small moments I'm not seeing it..

I'm really looking forward to seeing every line in this game, with the exception of the 4th line. Hopefully they don't get a lot of ice time.

It all came together when they had a new center. Seems they love playing together. Ehlers just needs to adjust his game a bit.

So happy!

GO GETS GO!...

umm... yeah. GO JETS GO. =)

I actually really want them to play a lot. Appleton is going to get a very fair shake on that lines so hopefully he stands out.

 

[koth]

Aww, c'mon. Hendricks was really good at what we brought him in to do.

Yeah, I want to see Appleton play too, but I don't expect much when he's on that line.

 

[mcpw]

We made the playoffs because of Matt Hendricks.

Kerdiles and Griffith are two v capable AHL-NHL tweener players with a lot of skill. I think they will be a happy surprise tonight.

That is likely the Moose first line getting a trial run.

The org has done similar in past training camps.

so is a doorstop, but i don't want that on the Jets' 4th line

They both looked good at today's TC. Griffith has quick hands and is pretty dogged on the puck.
