GDT: Leafs @ Jets MTS Center - Weds Oct 24, 6PM

[Dessert Nights]

Ned is coming to town



Jets should win this one.

 

[Hunter368]

Big Buff needs a big game

 

[ThinIce61]

Hellebuyck has to play lights out tonight

I'm not sure how well he'll do in the dark!

Winnipeg cold, dark, no wifi..he can handle it

So 5 my time... that sucks. I wont be home until 6. I hate when the league panders to leafs fans.

It's also the national US audience so that likely has something to do with it as well.

 

[ThinIce61]

Sparks might fly tonight between these two big boys!

No he'll be firmly planted on the visitors bench.

If Ehlers can't score against the Leafs in 2 games I have sincere doubts about his ability to score.

 

[ThinIce61]

It would be nice if Wheeler and Ehlers both figured out how to score again tonight.

Who shows up tonight.
Cold Laine or Hot Laine.

Laine 6 goals 4 assists

Then he coasts in the 2 nd and 3rd.

Which is why your hawking him on the main board trade threads?

FYI - arguing about how ineffective he is isn’t a great way to convince someone else to trade for home. Not that it matters.

Kinda like a salesmen telling you about the bad gas mileage on the car they are trying to sell you.

 

[John Agar]

Will this be the story of the night... ?

Or this...?

Go Jets Go !!!

 

[jefferoni]

Is today backward day? Did I miss the memo?!?!

It's a message board relax. There are novice fans and expert fans in one place. It's just a discussion.

I think he's showing a lot of negatives in our system to start.
Some fans see them, some fans don't. He started on the 4th line, didn't exactly play his way up. Tonight's a good time for him to turn it around. Still think Roslovic would look better with Connor and Little than Ehlers, but he gets to play. Would be nice if he proved me wrong.

Laine seems to elevate for big games.

I just found it funny that you were essentially cutting him down to the guy you were trying to convince to “accept the trade”.

3 reasons not to trade him

- in longest slump of young career (possible lower value)
- Laine re-signing (moving his Atari friend seems like a bad idea)
- it’s early in a season that we have a good record in. Give him time to get going and also to see if Niku can take a step for the 2nd half. If Jets were at risk of missing playoffs then maybe you gamble like that but not worth the risk at this point.

4th one
- sends bad signal to young players that sign contracts with us that they are expendable

NBC sports have some cool vids on their site btw.

Go Jets Go

Man, I've been drunk at an airport before, but never "passed out on a moving sidewalk" drunk before. At least, as far as I know.

Go Jets Go, that is all.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yup it's Wednesday night hockey on NBCSN and they usually do 2 games.

Unfortunately it isn't on the regular NBC network. I'd watch there rather than SN.

I was stating that he was a bad fit to our system. I can't make pie charts to demonstrate that he is losing far too many battles and 0 goals and -6 are not sufficient statistics. I was actually pumping him up as a perfect fit for a speedster like Barzal.

And that Laine's Atari friend could be replaced by a younger Finn, with more moxy.

I'm amazed that Perreault who makes every line he plays on, a possession line, a guy who was deemed Buff's best friend on the team, and whose wife fits into the core family, is deemed expendable, but Ehlers, who isn't producing, with a contract slightly less than Scheifele's, is deemed a sacred cow.
Anyways I'm not a salesman, that's true. I'm more of a rebel realist. Enjoy the game regardless.

Forgot this was the first game they have true north square open. Nice night for it.

Let's get dangerous.
