Pre-Game Talk: Jets @ Leafs Jan. 18th

[Calendal]

No answer for you, other than perhaps "spite standings", with TSN taking a cue from season 10 of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I don’t know if it is the case this time, but up until certain point we may go by last year’s standing as tie-breaker?

 

[Gil Fisher]

Sens D is better than That group I named.

splitting hairs

 

[KingBogo]

Jets potentially losing two of their top six forwards after ONE game.

Neither looks to miss even the next game while Roslovic would have to go through the whole quarantine protocol to even get into the lineup. You also have Harkins who can move up and you also have KV and Perfetti in the wings. Even saying that Chevy isn’t going to give away his leverage to deal with short term injuries.

 

[Derfel]

I hope that in your professional life you keep your cynical judgments to yourself .

Realistic professional opinion, you mean. I've done this for two decades - I know my job quite well.

But this is a hockey forum.

 

[rehf]

They are actually going to play Stanley over Heinola... I mean, I can't say I'm really surprised but talk about depressing.

 

[tantrum]

Remind me how long Roslo would have to quarantine for again?

All the more reason to get him signed or traded quicker.

You keep repeating yourself with the rationale of the quarantine - but that makes the situation for the Jets all that much more urgent to get it done sooner than later. Your argument in that regard is like those people that tell you it's so bad to make money on investments because you have to pay taxes. smh.

They had to miss practice - again after game 1. Where do you think injuries are going to be when all the back to back and every other day games kick in? Depth is going to be very important this year.

So you're saying rather than have a guy with speed and experience in the top six come in, it would be better to bring in a just turned 19 undersized kid who was too slow in the world junior tournament to fill in for Ehlers, or Laine. And all because you're mad at him. ok! LOL

Looks like Roslovic's mom joined HFJets to pump his tires and urge the Jets to sign him.

I think Harkins is equal to Roslovic but depth is going to be important this season for sure.

[ATLbound]

I wouldn't be surprised if they shuffle in Stanley and Samberg throughout the road trip.

I love this! Minus the Stanley games. In fact could we just skip his games? Lets rotate Samberg and Heinola. Or better yet play them both. Our defence is pure garbage anyways. I don't think it really matters if we add a few mistakes from these young guys. Whats a few more mistakes and high danger chances again when we give up 70 a games anyways

 

[tantrum]

Not a Roslo supporter, just replying to the guy who made a nonsensical comment LOLing at Roslovic

 

[ATLbound]

Sens D is better than That group I named.

I will hope for Niku to play better with Morrissey and for Samberg to draw in and never leave the lineup.

i would take the Sens defence over what ours will look like. We are already pushing a bottom 5 NHL defence. When healthy we are probably between bottom 5 and 10. With what you posted i would say it is a bottom 3 NHL defence.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I would've assumed that they would have had a nanny lined up. i don't think the birth was a surprise.

That might have been possible. It may have been done. But he is staying with his wife and new baby rather than go on this road trip.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

splitting hairs

OK, it is a lot better.

 

[jetsforever]

Is Stanley actually going to get into games? I know everyone on here hates him but it'd at least be interesting to see after discussing him for years.

 

[HannuJ]

i'd worry if this turns out to be a mistake and they keep on repeating the mistake.
everyone's blowing this out of proportion. expect Samberg to rotate in next.

i'll repeat this again and again: target February as the month when you'll see more Heinola and Samberg.

 

[surixon]

The Jets are going to want to look at Stanley this year to see if he's worth keeping around on the roster next year. He is waiver eligible so we can loose him for nothing if we try to send him down next year.

That is why he is one of the first call ups. Contract status and the business aspect play a role in roster decisions.

Looking that way. Going to be very interesting.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

That might have been possible. It may have been done. But he is staying with his wife and new baby rather than go on this road trip.

He'll soon realize the error of his ways.

I think this is the first time I mentioned quarantine so not sure how I’m repeating myself. Maybe you are thinking of another poster. Not sure I follow your investment analogy so I will leave that alone. Bottom line is Chevy won’t give up his leverage on a player who doesn’t move the needle and he is far from desperate for his services. Roslovic will either sign the deal on the table or Chevy will move him if he gets an offer he likes. In the meantime Roslovic will sit.

 

[rubikscube]

I'm personally excited to see Stanley. Show us what you got big man.

If he doesn't make the cut, so be it. But at least the conversation will be put to rest.

 

[Atoyot]

Heinola called up to the taxi squad.

 

[Whileee]

They are actually going to play Stanley over Heinola... I mean, I can't say I'm really surprised but talk about depressing.

I don't think Heinola has practiced with the Jets yet, but I might be mistaken.

 

[surixon]

I don't think Heinola has practiced with the Jets yet, but I might be mistaken.

I think he was practicing with the Moose players. I think Perfetti is eligible to join the Moose skates tomorrow.
