Pre-Game Talk: Jets @ Panthers

[sipowicz]

Anyone going to the games in Florida? Wish I had planned a vacation to Florida as this may be the last season where you can follow the team and watch 3 games in Florida.

Thanks guys, wasn't sure what kind of reaction that would get.

I used to love family matters...

lol that was good well done sir

Took me a second. Hilarious.

So our D is going to be Bogo, Hainsey, Clitsome, Stuart, Postma, and Meech? Ouch.

The paper was saying the Miettinen should be in the lineup because Peluso is out with a hand injury ( my guess is he got hurt hitting Volpatti too many times in the face ) .

Volpatti showed a lot of character standing there accepting the blows to the face from Peluso, what a trooper!

Coach Noel audio scrum

Coach Noel - Status of Byfuglien. Concern over snowstorm in midwest. Meech possibility. Miettinen maybe in with Jokinen. Expectations from goalies. How many power play goals per game do they have to score to get to 45,000? Part Pavelec plays in PK. Does the group have more confidence playing on road due to last trip? Divisional games. Best way to get into the playoffs?

[Positive]

Jets give up a shutout in their previous game but get one back. 3-0 Jets win.

buff is out due to family matters

TSN 1290 is making it sound like Buff is just missing the practice and will for sure play the game. Mittens in for Peluso's broken hand and Wellwood in for Thorburn.
Of the 3 games the T Bay game is most important and we want 1 of the 2 games vs the Panthers.

Ward is out for a long time for the Hurricanes so that is great!

that will be an interesting fourth line assuming we stick with:

Ladd Little Wheeler
Kane Burmi Antro
Wright Jokinen Mittens
Tangradi Slater Wellwood


that has to be the most "indentity" lacking 4th line i've ever seen.

Big body winger who plays a small mans game, defencive specialist center, soft offensive utility winger


Not dissing it, just suprised- who knows, maybe it works. I actually like it when Joki tangradi and welwood were togthe i thouht they controlled the puck well in teh ozone just couldn't get rewarded

I see Slater as more of a faceoff specialist than a defensive specialist. Truthfully I think he would do better in a sheltered offensive leaning role than the tough defensive minutes that he normally gets. Welly and Tangradi are more useful in that role too. It will be interesting to see if they can get anything rolling.

If I was Noel and had this line up... hmm...

Ladd Little Wheeler
Kane Burmi Antro
Wright Jokinen Mittens
Tangradi Slater Wellwood

Probably descend the matchups toughest on LLW to weakest on TSW...
For OZS I'd probably push the first two lines a tiny bit and push down the bottom two a tiny bit, not AV style pushing.

I'd go with:

Ladd Little Wheller
Kane Burmistrov Antropov
Wright Jokinen Wellwood
Tangradi Slater Miettinen

I don't think playing Wellwood on the 4th is a good idea.

Buff still in Winnipeg. Wheeler good to go.

"Noel admitted weather could prove problematic in getting Byfuglien to Florida in time for tomorrow's game (6:30 p.m., TSNJets, TSN 1290).
"We'll see what happens," said Noel. "If he can't make it, (Derek) Meech will go in."
Jets winger Blake Wheeler took part in practice and said he was feeling fine."

 

[JMT21]

The Canes beat the Panthers back to back.... we need to do the same to keep pace.....

a win vs the Bolts in between those 2 games would be nice.

5 out of 6 points while in Florida would be nice.

 

[peg]

Will place my vBet as soon as I hear that a plane is on its way to Florida with Buff on it

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

Is Versteeg playing?
Could be trouble if he is.

I just don't get how he can rip us appart just about every game.

So true. I always hated Versteeg because of his lack of production when I followed him with the Leafs, but he torches us all the time.

Him and Chimera

My brother and a buddy left for Florida yesterday and are going to all 3 games. And it was unbelievable how cheap he was able to pick up tickets. Apparently with a cheap flight and some deal scouting on hotel rooms and a rental car they were able to do the trip (before beer and food) for not much more than a grand each. If I could of got away from work I would have loved to join them. The kicker is they are staying for next Sunday's Habs and Panthers game before they head home.

PS. Next season you may be able to do a 3 game Southern California trip taking in the Kings, Ducks and Sharks...now that would be a nice trip.

I think my first choice next year will be to see a game in Nashville.....looks like a fun building and town. Dallas will be a must for me as well. this year I am hoping to see a game in Boston and Montreal if the timing works.
