GDT: Jets vs Stars (Mar-18th, 6:30pm) - "Did I ever tell you the one about Buffalo Bill?"

[Channelcat]

I was kind of hoping to see 55 and 17 back in the lineup tonight but only if they are both 100% ready to return. No real need to rush anybody back at this point.

I would rest everybody.......except that we still need to stay ahead of MN. Pretty important to wrap this up asap.

Nice homage to a fine actor who always gave it his all, even when the movie flat out sucked.

 

[Afterburner]

Awesome GDT Zham! Now to trounce the Stars tonight. Some Laine goals incoming?

 

[PerryPooley]

Someone tell me there’s no more injuries right now, I can’t handle anymore at this point.

About 20 years ago I was offered an extra position in a movie with Bill Paxton in Bangkok. Some war movie. I turned it down but buddies all took it.

For 2 weeks they came home pissed out of their skulls from free drinks on set. Their role was to play pool for 10 hours a day in a GI bar.

One of my many life regrets. Never found out the name of movie.

It's just an optional skate

I just don’t trust our luck lately

 

[Afterburner]

I just watched Twsiter the other night too, I’m taking that as good luck for the game

 

[Jet]

It's all about getting healthy and reinforcing good habits. I don't mind if Lowry and Scheifele sit a few more if they are less than 100% (I doubt Lowry will be at all this year - I'm guessing he goes under the knife this summer).

A Bright Shining Lie seems like a good possibility.

Yesterday the coach said they were 100% He just wanted to make sure they woke up still feeling good.

 

[Aavco Cup]

And Lurch?

Sure, but do you think Lowry really is ONE HUNDRED percent?

If it's a nagging shoulder injury I don't think so. I've never heard of a shoulder injury that totally healed during the season. Hell, my shoulder still bugs me and I only sprained it back in November.

Could it be?

There has been speculation lately that it may have been a back injury which would explain why he wasn't skating for a time.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Paxton was in so many of my favourite movies. Loved him in Aliens as Hudson.

“ Hey Vasquez someone ever mistaken you for a man?”
“ No have you?”

Jets win big today! 6-2 again

 

[Jet]

So if Brighteyes and Lowsy are ready to go, who comes out??

I would have said Roslo based on the past few games but he was excellent last game. This is tough - Maurice really loves Tanev (as do I). I really don't like the idea of pulling anyone right now. Can we just dress 5 D?

Ugh, well that would make sense. I don't know if that is better or worse (so many variables)

IMO the team has been ultra cautious and any more would just start frustrating players. I think Trouba was ready for a good week before and he was banging on Mo's door daily to let him back in. I'm guessing Scheif doesn't even miss a game if it was playoffs. You might be right about Lowry but I'm guessing he is as healed as he can be without surgery.

Tanev and Dano, no brainer.

In the past Maurice normally says something like "I haven't told the player(s) yet so I'm not going to tell you before talking to the player(s) first" when asked at a presser. I expect we won't know until warm up.

Man, you look at the line combo possibilities with 55 and 17 back and go, "wow".

 

[Howard Chuck]

These possible lingering injuries to players are going to keep me on the edge of my seat every game. I almost clench more at hits than I do at goal attempts against us.

Going to take a few games of no injuries to get me passed this.

I think it’s probably easier staying healthy after getting everyone back so that we don’t have to push everyone as hard. The players can share the workload more.

Yes suddenly the whole is better than the sum of its parts.
