Predicting a loss here. Go Jets Go. Cheer for a victory, but no angst over a loss. Just go do your things and play for next year, gents.

That was one hell of a GDT post.

Onwards and upwards, GJG!

I would really like to see Armia on 3th line. He has the intensity, speed and effort level. + Above average defensive game. And of course offensive skills from different world than Thorburn has. So what's the holdup?

Can always count on Conflicted to lighten the mood with a great GDT!

I've got one foot on the tank. Finding it harder and harder to care.

yeah I think it's kinda obvious that they should give it a try for at least one game. You can see that Armia is looking for plays that won't happen with Copp and Halischuk on his line.

Ehlers - Burmi - Armia
Thorburn - Copp - Halischuk

same here. This is the first season which feels like a transition season with rookies coming up and down, having typical rookie problems, a drifting captain who will end up traded alongside a bubble team squad in the hardest division in hockey = easily no playoffs. But I think we'll keep on playing about .500 until the end of the season so I doubt we'll get a top 5 pick. We're not bad enough to end up that low in the league standings after 82 games IMO.

Love the Jets, but at this point I'd rather us lose. It sucks to say, but more likely something will happen if we keep losing...and if not, a high draft pick.

Why can't we win and still get all these things =(

 

[Ozzy77]

Is Lipon up with the jets?

Fantastic GDT, as always. So impressive.

I'm at this game in person - hopefully you'll hear my "True North!" loud and clear. If the team can bring the effort they did last night, and Hutch can bring his game from this time last year, then the Jets should be able to at least get 2 points from this AB swing.

All the best for the holiday season if I don't post to any of you before the 25th, by the way.

No he's with the Moose, injured

 

[KCjetsfan]

nice gdt.
like flyingkiwi, my level of investment in this team is stagnating, but i can live with being entertained like last night, i guess.

I agree !! .... By the way , why didn't Thorburn get pushed down to the 4th line yesterday for that absolutely dumb penalty he took in the Offensive zone in the 1st period ??

 

[Howard Chuck]

Awesome GDT! that must have taken some work!

Very soon it's going to be time to simply start trying players in different positions. Realizing we won't make the playoffs, we should really just allow some younger players to find their NHL mojo. Use this time as training now.

Bring up Petan and move Ehlers/Petan/Armia around to see how to mesh (mess?) the lines. Throw it all at the wall and see what sticks.

This isn't to say we aren't playing well, but it's on great 5v5 and our great play isn't enough to win us enough games obviously.

C'mon, lets see what we the cupboards hold.....

Stuart and Thorbs are "heart and soul" players that can't help themselves from impulsive penalties. They are also "glue" guys, so you can't punish them. Besides, Thorbs scored a goal or two, so Maurice wants to rekindle that magic.

 

[Huffer]

Beautiful GDT!

 

[Derfel*]

Enstrom is an ewok and Myers is a wookie. Of course.

 

[sipowicz]

Just wondering how much longer it will take Mo to realize that the Ehlers/Burmi/Thorburn line just isn't working? Mo has stuck with that line way too long already, I'd go Ehlers, Copp, Armia at this point what does he have to lose. Hali, Burmi, Thorbi is the ideal 4th line.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

We lost the last one so this is obviously going to be a Jets win.

 

[Bartho]

Love the GDT! I'm seeing the new Star Wars in a couple of hours.

I really hope the Jets can find a way a win tonight. GJG!

I agree that line isn't effective, or at least Ehlers isnt on that line. Personally I'd like to see Ehlers with Wheeler and Little and move Ladd to the third.

 

[Guardian17]

Awesome job on the GDT!

I'd rather watch the six slave-Leia pillow fighting than our power play.


Go! . Go!

 

[JC Numminen]

Great GDT!

Just win please.

 

[Duke749]

Just lose so the rest of us can be put out of our misery. Of course they'll probably win while being outplayed because that how we role and how hockey works.

 

[SoupaTroupa]

Literally every time I bet my 50 vbookie dollars they lose. So I'm not betting today. You're welcome.

Love the GDT, especially Trouba and Buff!

I guess I haven't seen anything from Armia that makes me think he's got speed OR intensity. Certainly nothing that makes me think he's going to light it up with better linemates. Am I in the minority on this?
