Not fully but seemed to use it as a reason they couldn't constantly find their game. Said since he has been in the league 11 years he knows who he is and what his game is whereas he didn't when he was younger. I guess his game now revolves around cheating for offense and shirking defensive responsibilities. Would have liked to hear him talk about taking a bit more ownership defensively and setting a better on ice example.

How the heck do you play in the NHL with a leg fracture???
Back and groin injury is kind of crazy too.
I know it’s the playoffs, but I feel like fractured leg is probably the line where you do sub a player out

Connor with a Detroit Tigers hat too (pretty sure it a Tigers hat)
Chariot going to Boston because he is wearing a Red Sox Hat.
Confirmed!
Copp with no ballcap but looks like some premature baldness happening. Aging fast, trade him while you can.
My takeaway from this season is we just need some more experience. That is going to be a tall task when we are likely seeing more veteran players leave this season and injecting more youth. I agree that there needs to be more onus on some of the vets to help the youth find their game but it is a damn hard thing to do.
You look at some of the previous Cup winners and there is always a good mix of youth and veteran players chipping in. I think we are still on that hump. The challenge going forward is will the vets still be good enough when the young guys find their games? On top of that there is still another window when that happens and perhaps a much greater window as you transition from Wheeler, Buff, Little, Perreault, Hendricks, Myers, Kulikov, Chiarot being your leadership veteran core to Scheifele, Ehlers, Laine, Connor, Morrissey, (maybe Trouba), Roslovic, Copp, Lowry and (hopefully Tanev) being your leadership core.
I think at this point we don't expend anymore 1st round picks or go hard at aging free agents. But let that secondary leadership core come into it's own and continue to develop the players we need to fill in the holes for a window of opportunity with them. We gave this current leadership core 2 solid years but we need to realize that the next leadership core coming up is where the real chance at a Cup is. That could mean a season or two on the horizon where things aren't looking amazing and there are challenges and hurdles but in the end we come out far stronger on the other side.

Looked to me like Copp already has plugs.

Well, that would be true. However, would fractured leg Ehlers be better than healthy Appleton?
Not much. Lack of D who can move the puck is the BIG problem, lack of engagement from some forwards in our end secondary.

Except he wasn't doing anything with 2 good legs. Perfect time to try anyone elseFreeze it. Tape it. Get em back out there. This ain't a game for wussies.

Ya, Lindholm would not be my 1st choice to replace Ehelers either

Always felt this way, too. Nobody goes 180 after something like his situation. That said, I'll be grateful for his time. I just tweeted at him (doubt he reads it) thanking him for his play last season in the post-season and I'll never forget that OT goal against the Oilers, I think in his rookie season. I remember being at BP and the whole place going nuts, it was a Saturday afternoon game.
At the end of the day, we'll likely never know his full reasoning. His left/right side is completely valid. If he feels he plays better at RD, who are we to judge because his performance then gets affected and likely his $$$. Plus, it seems like something is off in that dressing room so I don't blame him if he'd prefer to move on. Sucks but it is what it is.
Hopefully Chevy gets good value if he does trade him and hopefully the locker room sorts itself.
Serious question since I can't find any kind of ruling on it.
On the goal that the Jests could not challenge because their coach wasted their time out on a goal that was clearly good, is it goaltender interference if the goalie got the cuff of his glove stuck on Maroon's stick?
Helle initiated the contact with his glove. The cuff of his glove seemed to get stuck on Maroon's stick. Granted, Maroon did nothing to help release the glove (I don't think he had to) or he may not have even know what was tugging at his stick.
But since Maroon didn't initiate anything, was it interference? I don't know but I don't think so.
Well, he did say that the first fingers of blame should be pointed at him, as the player captain.

Who decided the player groupings for the interviews? Must have been Maurice because ELL was back together, the only threesome of the bunch.

How noble of him. He knows Maurice and Chevy aren't going to blame him, the rest of us he couldn't care less about.

Disagree, Stastny is really really good player that has been and is under rated by quite a few.
Jets don't beat Nashville last year without him. He tilts at least one of the one goal losses imo.

Chevy loves Trouba, Trouba would rather be somewhere else, and his agent is a nightmare to deal with. I'm betting he is traded. You can't sign him short term, cause he will walk. It's long term, or trade, that's it.
I loved Tanev in the playoffs, I wish we still had Lemieux, we could have used his physicality. Can't believe Ehlers and MP were in instead of Lindholm and Appleton, especially after the first two games. I would love to see Beauliue stay as a depth guy.

Oh I don't under rate him at all, he's a good player. Our issue wasn't a lack of good players.

True, along with the coaches, our problem was our lack of good players playing good enough.

WIEBE: Five key questions for the Jets
1 - Who's behind the bench
2- Trouba
3 - Patrik Laine's next contract
4 - Who is on defense
5 - Brossoit

I know it is still early and things could happen still but who is taking the blame here?? If the Jets thought that the sched and inexperience were going to stop them from winning the Cup then why trade a 1st and Lemieux away? Did Chevy f up? Was the coaching staff and FO not on the same page?
