Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs Ducks - Thu Jan 25 9:00pm CT

[Aavco Cup]

I can accept a loss here, obviously would prefer a win, but we've already got more points in these 4 games before the break than I thought we would.

I'm greedier. Plus this year we lost going into Christmas break and we lost going into Bye Week. I'd like a more positive vibe this time.

Probably an Allstar game thread is appropriate

We can do a GDT thread now to act as a catch-all. I might set one up later when I'm not on a phone, but anyone is welcome to.

Is there a decent app that one can access hfboards through, instead of my phone browser? It finally happened, hfboards was blocked at my work after years of going unnoticed ha

Player audio: Kyle Connor, Jacob Trouba, Connor Hellebuyck and Jack Roslovic.

Coach Maurice scrum topics: Update on Enstrom/Kulikov. Swapping out Kyle Connor/Jack Roslovic. How does he manage the emotions of a Kyle Connor when he gets bumped down to the 4th line? Any thoughts of putting Joel Armia into that top 6? Does he like getting the All-Star break now? Does he wish that Hellebuyck/Wheeler weren't going so they could rest? Hellebuyck goes tomorrow? The Poolman recall? Further clarity on Enstrom. Update on Lowry.

Hellebuyck will never get a break again.

The new site is device specific so I doubt changing your browser will affect how it's displayed.

Looking forward to see Connor on 4th line instead of Tanev. Tanev has so much more to offer. Nice freebie for Roslovic btw. I'm really falling in love with these logical choices.

I agree Armia is needed right where he is though.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Maurice says Kulikov is possible tomorrow. Says the same about Enstrom. Did he block a shot on the foot yesterday?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Helle Tomorrow and Hutch against Tampa. Maurice said he wouldn't expect to play Helle in that game after all that travel

 

[Gurilla]

 

[kanadalainen]

Hopefully Kuli gets some appropriate head gear.

(not my original idea - can't recall who came up with this..)

 

[MardyBum]

Hellebuyck will never get a break again.

Mo said he wont be playing the Tampa game.

Edit : beat to it haha. Should finish reading the thread >_>

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

What's up with Lowry?

 

[Eyeseeing]

The first flights from Toronto have landed in LA. If Poolman was on board one of them he should be on the ice for today's practice.

You are so connected...
You should supplant the hockey insiders
Appreciate your info a lot
Thanks

Good call Mo, as bad as TB is right now they still scare me. Save Helly for games we can win.

Are you saying the Jets can’t win against TB? Hutchinson needs to prove everyone wrong.

 

[winnipegger]

Roslo has been good, but once he was on that top line he was getting exposed a bit. Seems the NHL is still a bit too fast for him. Connor has been struggling also with top line duties so I dunno.

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

What's up with Lowry?

I think they think it’s better to keep him out till after the all star break. It’s not worth bringing him back till 110%.

We are winning and collecting points without him, and giving Roslovic a chance to show us if he’s ready for the NHL, I know I wouldn’t let him back a second to soon.

I think that these injuries to Scheif and Lowry will have some positives to them. They will be rested for the final push, plus they might have been the caveat to realizing another high end prospect is ready to contribute full time.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Geez another late one on school nite
I predicted 5-3 on the San Jose game for us.
I’ll say 4-2 Jets

If you have depth in your organization injuries are opportunities. Scheif didn't "become" a 1C until he was forced into it, and then it became clear that he was the superior player to Little and things never went back. A player I really want to see get top line duties is Armia because I still think there is a lot of skill and puck protection there and he might work well with Scheifele or Little in the cycle game.

If Chia pet is playing maybe Katy Perry tries to exact some revenge?

considering bieska and chirot skate together in the offseason and bieska secretly hates perry i bet he tells chirot to dummy him again!!
