I also didn't like much of Maroon's game. I would keep flash in, dress Thompson, and sit Maroon/Palmeiri.

I was debating on Etem, but Calgary is such a fast team, I think we'll prefer his speed over their size/physicality on the 4th line.

Belesky Getzlaf Perry
Flash Kesler Silf
Sekac Rakell Cogliano
Etem Thompson Jackman

It sucks man, Etem can never do anything right but score a highlight reel goal. That was said, "the best playoff goal of these playoffs so far" by Don Cherry. And contribute offensively on a fourth line role. But you are considering him a scratch?? That's insane dude look at our entire roster and TOI. There's 3 players I would rather not have playing. Maroon, Palmeiri, flash before sitting Etem. The ****in hate man..... Gosh these boards sometimes :facepalm:

One goal. One really nice goal and you're saying contributing offensively. Contributing is a continuing action. ContributED is the word you're looking for.

Why aren't you pumping the tires of Kesler, Silfverberg, Perry, Getzlaf, and Cogliano?

Oh that's right. Muh youth movement, muh LBC

The issue is that he hasn't done much right outside of that goal. He hasn't done much wrong, but he's not done much else right, either. Maroon plays against much harder competition, so does Palmieri, and Flash had more impact plays in two games than Etem did in four. Etem stays in because he's on the PK until Thompson or Wagner return, but that's what's keeping him on the roster, not the only 3 seconds of brilliant offensive play he's had the entire series.

I'll be honest, I really don't like em for the minutes he's getting. We're sitting Sekac right now over him, and he really hasn't done much post season.

I think a fair shake of fans here would say Sekac>Palmeiri just by the effort palms has given in this short series. When you're given his TOI which is average of 13 minutes a game, you're suppose to score goals or create chances atleast and he hasn't done **** IMO.

This doesn't mae any sense. Palmieri has never stopped putting out effort, even though he's gotten repeatedly crushed. He doesn't have production, but there's nothing wrong with his effort. I'd say he hasn't put out this much effort in months. He also created a number of chances in the last game alone. I'm not going to argue that I wouldn't like to see Sekac on the ice but your reasoning doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Not a lot of regulars my mistake. But my main point was they shouldn't have chanted that when the playoffs haven't even started yet, while being up against an AHL team.

What, lol are you serious? It's just paying fans chanting silly things and having fun. We don't think Corey Perry is Katy Perry. We don't really think Sidney is Mario's Pool boy. We boo the opposing team's star even though it's nothing personal. And sometimes we chant the opposing goalie's name even though he's beating us. And we are fully aware it's not the finals yet, and we're the 8th seed going into the early rounds.

There are no rules here; it's just the crowd having fun, no 'appropriateness' due or required.

Effort is the same as energy to the team. At a TOI of 13 minutes of a game you would think he would of done something offensively, guess what he hasn't. Hell he's a -1 the entire series. He's taking up a roster spot and he needs to go for sekac in the next round, no, ifs and, or, buts, with that TOI bro. 13 minutes and a -1 the entire series cmon DVM how you disagreeing with this...

You said it yourself he could never do anything besides scoring the highlight reel goal. I would keep him in though, cuz that goal might give him some confidence. Flash has been good, Maroon has been good enough, Palms would sit if anyone sits.

Maybe cause he's thinking rationally? And not blinded by single player homerism.

I don't think it's a question of effort for Palms. He did put up some good effort, it's the contributions overall that were lacking.

He's going to the gritty areas repeatedly even though he runs into players who outweigh him by 40 pounds. He was used in a shutdown role and was only a -1 for the entire series. He repeatedly ran right at Tyler Myers. He was the one distracting the defenseman in the slot to allow Rakell to get loose for the OT winner in game 3. He's been nothing but effort. The next series won't have players who outweigh him and he should be able to get free to use his shot, which is one of the top shots on the team.

He busted his ass in spite of getting physically mauled every night. Sitting him sends a bad message. And I was leading the charge to bench him for the last month, so I'm not homering at all. He's doing all the little things that matter, which was his flaw. That should be rewarded IMO.

Sekac plays the other wing, and hasn't actually been very productive either. That gets lost in all the wow factor of him buzzing all over the ice. If someone is sitting for Sekac in Game 1 it's most likely Etem.

Hah, jokes on you. He IS Katy Perry.

Whoever takes out my Jets gets my hopes for a Stanley Cup. It somehow justifies their loss in this series.

Go Ducks!

Hats off to the Ducks. That is a serious team and I could see them make a deep run. Their depth through 4 lines is very impressive with the emergence of Rakell and Silfverberg. I think they match up very well against the Flames or Canucks. They have good mobility on defense, which would help them match-up against a team like the Hawks or Wild (they might have issues against the bigger size of the Blues).

Nah, size is not an issue for Ducks. It was front and center on display in QF.
Speed is the killer.
But Ducks do have some speed, so I don't see any team in the West being able to exploit that part of Ducks' weakness to the point of being a superior team in series. If they can catch you, they will hit you into tomorrow. It's when they can't catch you, they get frustrated and start doing stupid stuff. :laugh: :cry:

Problem is that our forwards are (on average) slower than our defensemen, so speedy counterattacks tend to do more damage since we can't get as many men back as fast as possible.

We'd have more trouble with the Flames than the Canucks.

For those who were asking about Jets injuries, here's one:


@DarrinBauming Jacob Trouba says he broke a bone in his hand in Game 2 and could only grip his stick with two fingers. #NHLJets

Needs Surgery.



@ShawnChurchill Andrew Ladd has a sports hernia and will see a specialist. Typically surgery will repair. #NHLJets

Also needs surgery.

Was sad to see my team lose so handily but I felt like we didn't even play like the regular season Jets. Fumbled passes constantly, didn't do our breakouts properly, got hemmed behind our own net, and kept trying to do stupid stretch passes down centre ice. We also seemed to lose every battle along the boards. It was also a bad time for all of our top players to decide to get cold, if we're going to improve we need to be able to handle breaks in the season.

The Ducks had our number all series and although they didn't play their best either, they were better than us. Congrats to the Ducks, go all the way, so we can at least say we lost to the Cup champs!

Good experience for the Jets. Here's looking forward to next year!

So basically the Jets had injuries just like every other team are going to start announcing once they're out.
