Chevy - "OMG! Now I have to find another 3 million to pay Josh in 2018. Good thing I signed Chef for half price".

This team is gonna be cap-crunched in 2018 & 2019

 

[PhilJets]

You forgot little

Man Little is so underrated I even forgot him

Also ARMIA

So there are 17 guys that can make top 13...

 

[Master Scheif]

I caught the third.

Can I just say: I'm pretty pleased with my username/avatar choice

 

[PhilJets]

There are 4 players off the books by then.
2 of them are in 4M range.
Enstrom and MYers follows.

Depending who the Jets gets for Trouba

Jets should be ok

I really liked the momentum that we were riding in the latter half of the game.

Although Connor was fed that goal, he released perfectly, and honestly, that's what we need. A couple consistent trigger guys, Laine and Connor, and we will be a very very different team.

Laine is Laine. Those two legendary one-timers looked great, and although he didn't jump off the page tonight, he will get there soon. Was very pleased with his defensive awareness.

I'm usually not the biggest Lowry fan, but he hustled hard and played a great 3rd line game.

Tanev's quickness and tenacity has really stood out in the last few games.

Morrissey is so smooth. Looks very comfortable and is really forcing coach's hand in the midst of this Trouba fiasco.

I thought Petan had a much quieter game than Tuesday, but he was starting to develop some chemistry with Laine. I could see some plays start to unfold that demonstrated both players' high hockey IQ, but it just didn't quite happen this game. Also Petan had less of his "fanciness" in the DZ that I know is irritating for quite a few fans.

Armia may be awesome this year.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Laine had a good interview after the game. Said he was quite nervous especially early on.

 

[Whileee]

So, how does the line-up seem compared to five years ago?

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Maybe this season we should always have Lowry on the PP?

Managed to catch the game on TSN Go. Lots of good things to say about tonight's game. I love Connor the past couple of games. I hope he gets to stick with the big club.

I wonder how difficult it would be to replace the number '3' of my number '31' jersey to a '4'?

haven't been this excited about this team since they came back to the league

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

what's your device? are you able to use a computer? you can access it via internet browser

Well on the PC it said it was for Android devices. On my Android Tablet it said not compatible with this device. On my Android phone J couldn't get it to recognize my gmail address. Gave up. Ridiculous.

Tried Oilers site, nothing. Found out it would be streamed on the Jets site about the time the game ended.

 

[SensibleGuy]

man...I'm pretty stoked. This is lookin like a fun team! I think we could legitimately put 4 or 5 of these young guys in the starting line-up no problem...

 

[robertocarlos]

If I was a paying customer I'd be happier this year than 5 years ago.

 

[Whileee]

It's a process....

 

[Guardian17]

Scheifele, Morrissey and Tanev really stood out to me.

Laine looked okay, seemed a little nervous.

 

[bustamente]

Prediction: Tickets will not be given up that easily this year.

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

So far this pre-season...

Armia or Dano?
Copp or Lowry?

Armia

Copp still as well, but Lowry had a solid showing tonight, see if he can build off it.

 

[BB88]

They could ice 3 deadly lines and a very fast 4th line. They need to do it.

All it takes is Maurice to show where the pressbox is to some of the vets.

Ehlers- Scheifele- Wheeler
Laine- Little- Armia
Connor, Perreault-x

is what I'm looking at after tonights game, open for changes as the pre season goes.

Trouba situation is such a bad timing for Jets.

 

[Georgetown Al*]

If I was a paying customer I'd be happier this year than 5 years ago.

Yes but those paying customers are now receiving their dividends for supporting the Winnipeg Jets the last 5 years..... so when do our stocks (players) cash in on the Stanley Cup?

 

[Whileee]

Achilles heel for this team will still be how Huddy or Maurice use the D. Stuart needs to be pushed out of his roles and Postma and Morrissey need to be substantial parts if the mix.

 

[Jimby]

I have been a Burmi fan since the Jets relocated to Winnipeg but I am ready to let him go. We have so many better options now.

 

[YetAnotherGM]

Based on Morrissey's play he be #2nd pair or higher.

 

[Whileee]

Maybe a too LHD isn't the only suitable return for Trouba. Take the highest value and then reshuffle as needed.

 

[bumblebeeman]

It's funny how Thorburn was the weak link on the 4th line considering what 6 other Jets forwards weren't playing. He must be like the 19th best forward or something

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Just left the game my musings:

Armia was very very good, his backhander was highlight worthy. Buff seemed good and salty after the WCH dis lappointment. Hutch was excellent, those new black pads seemed to help lol. Laine starred slow but got better as game went on, too bad he whiffed on that one timer. He seemed nervous at first. Fefe and Wheeler solid. Morissey seemed sound, on the puck a lot seem's to be on the attacking forwards when nedeed. All in all pretty entertaining for a preseason game.
