Post-Game Talk: Laine Gets 40 Not Enough - Flyers 2 Jets 1

[Asmola]

Sorry off topic but I can't find the Jets vs Panthers Finland pre-game thread.
Looking for some more info on the ticket sales on Monday.
I've been advised that it's being done on the Live Nation Finland site.
Upon reviewing that site it's almost entirely in Finnish and my language skills beyond English are near non existent.

Anyone know the details?
Can I get a translator?
Any help for a poor GDT employee?

You can buy tickets already via Samsung promo, all you need is Samsung account. Here:
Samsung Tickets Suomi

Otherwise you can wait for tomorrow and try to get those from Live Nation.

Ehlers went through the same thing in his first year...

Rosie' will come around...

I actually saw a alot I liked about Roslovic this game. Maybe didn't produce but his tenacity and strength with the puck was impressive for a first year. That's what was missing from Connor's game last year.

Roslovic has really impressed me with his maturity.

 

[Jet]

Well done on not answering the question!

You're right, it's not rocket science.
Wheeler- 21:09 mins
Stastny- 20:50 mins
Little- 20:43 mins
Laine- 20:27 mins
Ehlers- 19:37 mins
Connor-18:14 mins
Perreault- 11:58 mins

But apparently ESL was treated like a 3rd line lmao. Give your head a shake. They were a 1b this game.

Wait, but according to some Laine was given NO ice time and made to play on the THIRD LINE

 

[Jet]

Thoughts on Poolman's game?

Didn't really notice him much which is a good thing for a guy coming into the lineup. I think I might like him better than Morrow but the sample size is very small.

 

[Jet]

We will how valuable he is if he is hurt.

That's hogwash. We've done just fine with some pretty damned important players out of the lineup (hello, Schiefele, Trouba, Byfuglien).

It's almost obscene the way Little gets treated around here. He was our best forward for the first 5 years of this teams existence and the first time he struggles for a bit (meanwhile not being a defensive liability like some one dimensional players who struggle offensively) he's raked over the coals.

Bryan Little was and is one of my favorite Jets. He will have a lot to say in our playoff success. I am hoping we can stabilize our lines and get him rolling again.

He was great for the first five years and now he's stopping us from moving into the future.

Ya , there is nothing wrong with him being our checking center , great at face offs and defense . We don't live and die because Little should be scoring well , we have lots of offense on this team , we need some good smart defensively forwards as well . Scheif , Statsny , Little and Lowry in that order sounds really good to me .

YES! ROSTER BALANCE! SOMEONE GETS IT

Having a guy who is really good defensively but can chip in offensively is a dream in that 3C role. Little is that guy.

Can you explain to me how he is 'stopping us from moving into the future?'

Haters gotta hate

***waits for a cogent answer***

IF you have to lose Roslo or Connor as people are saying (Our future) than he is costing us our future for our past.

 

[Gm0ney]

More of the same malaise that has been on display in this road trip. I am sure @Gm0ney will post the stats that he is tracking but I think the Jets have won the Corsi and the xG battle in the same game like once in the last 6-7 games. That is not good.

In the small sample of this current road trip, the Jets have a 4 game average of 46.71% adjCF and 45.65% xGF. They've only cracked 50% adjCF once (vs NYR) and they've failed to hit 50% xGF in any game on the trip. Laine shooting 54% and .958 goaltending over the last 4 games are the main reasons the Jets are 3-1 instead of 0-4.

You don't pay someone who doesn't contribute offensively as much as we are paying him. Lowry is looking at 3.5 for that role.

 

[sipowicz]

Sorry Sip, just typical hyperbole. Little is not terrible, which is what you said.

Write him off if you like, I'm not. If I had a nickel for every player you prematurely wrote off, I'd have............a lot of nickels.

Okay I've taken my fork out of Little only on your account and will give a chance to redeem himself this season!

 

[Gm0ney]

Well, I'm not adammlis, but...if you have $5.3M tied up on your 31-year-old 3C for the next 6 years after this one, you may be painting yourself into a corner. Even if you're happy with Little's contributions this season, are you going to be happy with less for more money over the next 6?

Might need that good ole Sip jinx though. Better be on standby.

But those young offensive wingers need a offensive center. Way that Winnipeg has built the team, there must be 2nd offensive C.

And I wouldn’t rate Scheif solid on D.

I know you're just presenting the facts, your post is a jumping off point for this.

I wonder if we did 4 game rolling samples throughout the season for every team, how much you might see something like this. Then try to compare apples to apples by including relevent factors like injuries for each team during each 4 game segment.

Good teams get good goaltending in samples like this, it's a big part of what helps good teams win a lot more games than they lose.

This board cracks me up seriously ... if this ... if that ... has Chevy ever lost a good player due to salary cap?
The sooner some of you realize hockey is a TEAM sport ... the less complaining you will do.
Month after month it's a different Jet player being raked over the coals on these boards. Can someone name me one Jet player that was not?
A couple of months ago Chevy's worst contract was the Buff deal ... now it's the Little contract ... who is it going to be next month.

Pretty sporting of you.

No pressure Bryan, time to put your money where my mouth is!

Stastny, not even on notice yet. We're waiting!

Buff has stepped up his game, but, some of the criticism was legit before. Now he is playing like a beast. Let Little play like a beast and we will be happy to move on to the next guy.

Buff always played better and added more value than the criticism reflected. Same thing goes for Little.

Help me understand how would you make things work with Little. It seems that he can’t find the chemistry with any winger on team. So we are having an expensive 3 C. What would you do? Trade all wingers and if that doesn’t work trade wingers again?
