Pre-Game Talk: Jets @ Avs - Wed, Feb 20 @ 7:30 pm CT - Sportsnet

[Ducky10]

You’d have to somehow convince Maurice to split up Lowry and Tanev, and that ain’t happening without an act of god.

No kidding, for all the talk of Scheif-Wheels being conjoined twins, Lowry-Tanev are just as inseparable. Maurice's reluctance to break either pair apart just seems rooted in a dance with the devil you know mentality. It can't be based on their play lately.

Having said that, neither would be part of a third scoring line once Ehlers is healthy. I think Copp is worth a look between Perreault and Rosie, which still leaves Lowry and Tanev together, albeit with less TOI .

That's if Frenchie is still a Jet come trade deadline day , Frenchie makes decent money and i wouldn't be surprised if he is part of a package that gets moved .

The move would have to be really big for this to happen.
Chevy likely isn't making moves that deduct players from our active roster.
Those type of deals (that big) don't happen as often.

Agreed. No reason to think we’d make our current roster worse.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

That’s the politest way I could put it. Any other way and I’m an ass.

You could have called him an obsequious sycophant.

I know this is beyond the scope of what any of us can really know but it's always intrigued me what gets commentators fired and who exactly is judging the quality of their performance. People complain about broadcasters all the time and I get that it's one of the most subjective professions out there but if I were as bad at my job as Sawyer or an even worse offender, Rod Black is at theirs, I'd not only be fired but people would be seriously harmed. Obviously there are politics involved and it's not as simple as "bad" vs "good" but even if it's a first world problem, it's annoying to be subjected to poor commentators when you watch 82 games a season plus playoffs.

A lot of it is based on feedback and focus groups - there is a lot of nepotism as well.

Remember, we are in the highly educated fan (haha) category. Most NHL fans are casual watchers who would rather just have their teams tires pumped up.

A lot of these guys play to the wider audience and are coached on it as well.

 

[Jets 31]

We need to return the favor to Colorado , we need this win tomorrow . Or at the very least lose in overtime but play our butts off .

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Picked up my ticket for this game yesterday! I hope to see some Jets fans there.

Poolman recalled for this road trip.

Makes sense to have him as a back-up if Buff or another D is still ailing, but otherwise they will be traveling with 8 healthy D (Morrissey, Trouba, Buff, Chiarot, Kulikov, Myers, Niku, Poolman), which is a bit unusual.

I wonder if Niku is on the table for a potential trade this week, or maybe the Sens want to get a look at Poolman at the NHL level.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Byfuglien missing from practice. Poolman must be up as insurance.

I approve of these $5 words.

Practice Audio:

Players: Laine, Poolman and Perreault.

Coach Maurice scrum topics include: Status of Byfuglien. Getting Tucker Poolman from the Moose. Taking a second day off on Monday. On Laine having success in practice. Has Laine turned a corner? Has he seen growth in how Laine handles adversity? Is there a chance Nic Petan gets into a game? Seven of nine on the road and the opportunity it presents. Does he expect a positive response from his team after giving them the time off?

Buff isnt making the trip

[SensibleGuy]

y'know, has there ever been an occasion where a player missed a game due to injury and after the game Maurice said "nothing to worry about" and there in fact WAS nothing to worry about? It seems like every single injury ends up being week to week when it starts off as "oh we think he'll be fine by the next game."

[Jetfaninflorida]

Time to light up a winning streak. GJG!

 

[GNP]

With Buff out and Ehlers, I suspect it will affect our scoring a bit, I'd like to see Laine start to step it up, and Roslovic start to score as well.

 

[JetsFan815]

Buff isnt making the trip

And it keeps getting worse.

 

[PhilJets]

Only good thing about Buff injury is he will have some rest from wear and tead and be more fresh in the playoff same as Ehlers. Ala Scheifele.

 

[PhilJets]

So everybody is camp out in the trade board

 

[Jets 31]

I hope Laine plays pissed off tomorrow and starts ripping that unbelievable shot of his . Buff being hurt again sucks but i guess better now than the end of the regular season .

 

[Neuf]

Everyone is in the trade threads. Good morning, go Jets go
