Thanks again jefferoni for the GDT . I'll put my 1-0 record on the line when i have posted first . Never mind , FonRiesen beat me to it .

 

[Jets 31]

Had this in the Pre-game thread , Heinola in potato out . Little in Testube out . Helly starting and Buff getting in game shape somewhere so he's back to help us with more grit .

 

[Jets 31]

Maurice 239-165-48 , not a bad record as the coach of the Jets especially without any goaltending until Helly got here .

Great, now the pressure's on me - my first 'first'! I'm clearly not responsible if Heinola doesn't play! (unless they win)

 

[jetsforever]

We better win tonight

Looking forward to my first live game of the season!

BTW, the Murat from the athletic has a great article out today about changes that could help the jets..... Most of the suggestions have been put forth here as well.

i.e. Ehlers to PP1, Split up 55/26, keep 29 with 55, go with the youth (Sami, Gus, Villes), and get Lowry some real help (as we saw late in the last game with Borque and Letestu moved to the 4th line).

I won't go into detail, as it's a paid site and that's not fair to them.

Go Jets!

 

[GeorgeJETson]

And we know how it always turns out for the coyote when he uses ACME products.

Go Go!

 

[Howard Chuck]

Ville playing with the opposition forwards.... Maybe Ehlers?

 

[Afterburner]

KICK SOME ASS!!! GJG!!

 

[Jets 31]

Wasn't there a Family Guy episode that showed the Coyote catching and eating the Roadrunner but his life went downhill after because he had no purpose anymore ? All i know is it was pretty funny , classic Family Guy stuff .

Go Jets!

Murat's impatience increasingly on display in that piece, breaking through the veneer of diplomacy -- and the comments below go even further.

Hopeful that we see some useful changes tonight but PoMo is a stubborn dude and a gifted troll, may take his time making them. Replacing one or both of Letestu and Borque altogether would be a nice start, especially if their replacements are given a game or two to bed in, and not benched after an inevitable mistake.

 

[tntkid]

Thank god this game is not on Sportsnet.

I like Sportsnet about as much as I like the Leafs.

 

[Guardian17]

Put Ehlers on the first power play unit so we can gain zone entry.

 

[robertocarlos]

There was no post game thread for the Pens game. Maybe that was sarcasm.

 

[AKAChip]

Letestu not on the ice for the morning skate. Let’s hope it’s coach’s decision and not minor injury.
