That's not on Laine?

Holy ****, hockey much?

What a joke.


He had just entered the ice and things like that happen a hundred times in a game. The entire situation would not have developed was it not for the forced pass to Scheifele, which lead to that. Laine’s effort level was absolutely putrid dogshit tonight, but I don’t think that particular play was any worse than a lot of similar plays this game.

Other then the first game against the Blues the Jets have not put in one solid 60 min performance.

Laine: The book on Laine in the NHL is out. Challenge him quickly and he will give up the puck. If Laine couldn't score the way he does he would be a AHL player right now. Laine is probably the best goal scorer since OV but his hockey IQ is near zero. Is Laine just a PP specialist and nothing more? If this season proves him to be such then is he worth 10m per year? A pass to Laine along the board is virtually a sure give away to the other team. no matter if it is in the O-zone or D-zone. If Laine does not improve his play this season by a wide margin then the Jets should consider a trade.

Myers: I was a Myers fan and thought many here were too hard on him. While Myers deffinitly has great offensive skills he is a train wreak in our own end when the opposing team has the cycle going. Myers and Laine should never be on the ice at the same time.

TLC: Right now the best line the Jets have.

CSW: Can dominate at times but also can get trapped in their own end.

Helly: Was OK but we need him to make that save at the end of the game like he did last year.

Right now the Jets look nothing like the team that got 114 points last season. I expect them to play better going further but really I just want them to put in a complete 60 min effort. No panic yet but they have to play better.

Laine just lets him stroll right by. Embarrassing.
He was totally Laine's guy, he had him from the red line on, had the angle and everything. You can see Ehlers stepping up to take Nuge because Laine had clearly picked up Nurse, until he decided to let him skate right past. That is one of the laziest plays I have ever seen.

Trouba even played McDavid soft on the first Oiler goal.

He just let him go right by him when he could have easily bodychecked him.

The whole Jets team just sat and watched McDavid all night and did nothing.

I'm iffy to think Hellebuyck should start next game. But if he were to lose to Vancouver, then Brossoit should get the start after that.

I do believe Hellebuyck is a good goalie, but there's something up with his game. This loss is a big wake-up call for us. Blew a 4-2 lead in the third to Edmonton...

Also, we're missing Big Buff.

Eh... sure. RNH was Laine's man and Ehlers should have defended against Nurse on that play, Ehlers stepping up was a mistake. The whole thing started with Scheifele's refusal to change or a boneheaded pass by Ehlers to a changing Scheifele.

Good time to split up 26 and 55. Make 2 lines out of them.
I almost agree. They're just too happy to try to pass to each other instead of shooting from a good position. At least twice they had great looks but gave the puck away trying to force a pass.

Same with Ehlers in a way. Had some chances to put the puck on net but instead tried to skate to a better position. He has no confidence in his shot anymore.

This whole sequence must be absolutely infuriating for Maurice.

Laine clearly had the angle on Nurse. Any other NHL player who believes in actually trying would have at least disrupted the play, if not ridden Nurse off the puck. But Laine does his patented float and wave (also a 1960s hairdo) and Nurse breezes over the blue line.

Yep, boneheaded pass by Ehlers but to excuse Laine is just a refusal to accept any fault with Laine, willfully blind. He clearly picks up Nurse, actually watch the clip.

Ehlers is in position to defend against Nurse and Laine has to pick up RNH on that play. They both can't go for Nurse.

Hockey 101.

With each passing game I'm more and more fearful Ehlers is Burmi……..
he out did burmi in the sense that he has 7x6 in his back pocket. ehlers and laine need to be broken up for ever and if Maurice wont break up scheifele and wheeler then he needs to put 1 of ehlers or laine on 4th line.
