Post-Game Talk: Pre-season Game 4 - Jets vs Oilers - 7:00 pm CT - TSN3

[Atoyot]

Skyler night have passed Petan on the depth chart

Not even close.

Suess has quietly had a very good game. Played the PK super well and has been overall very solid.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Helle with an SOG.

[Atoyot]

Hellebuyck has definitely been working on his puck skills.

Are you serious? Not a chance. It was a empty net goal. That was most of his junior goals.

 

[thejaf7]

EZ win, with 2/3 top line out there but the kids are getting it done too, just like we want to see. Hardly our A team out there.

That's not even remotely true.

Why is Beyak calling him Vassalainen? Eating too much petroleum jelly, methinks

Yahoo still has Suess' name as Franklin...

 

[sting13]

That's not even remotely true.

It's very true. I've seen everyone of his junior games.

 

[JetsUK]

Liking Vesa, Suess and Poolperson who is much sharper this game.

 

[Daximus]

It's very true. I've seen everyone of his junior games.

I have not but in no way did he just get empty net easy goals in any of the games I saw. Not that scoring in that way is a bad thing. It means he can get into position to score well. Something Petan never does... goes to the net.

He created his chance. Petan hasn't done that nearly enough in his time with the jets.

 

[purdy44]

I think the new third jerseys are going to look really good in action on TV. Forgot how dark our homes look on an average TV

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Has Frenchy touched the puck?

 

[JetsUK]

Has Frenchy touched the puck?

Quite a lot, though I've not been counting. Harkins looking quicker also.

 

[heretik27]

Has Frenchy touched the puck?

It's been fired at him a few times tonight. They're using him to screen the goalie on PP's

 

[sting13]

He created his chance. Petan hasn't done that nearly enough in his time with the jets.

Of course not. Petan was mostly playing centre. Not his job to play the same way.

 

[Daximus]

Of course not. Petan was mostly playing centre. Not his job to play the same way.

Not mostly. He has been tried heavily at both wing and center. He just doesn't do things like that for himself. McKenzie's vision is worse but from what I can see he shows a lot more in the corners then I've ever seen from Petan.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Ty for pointing that out

But sometimes they don't change. If they do change, they keep the same song in preseason.

Petan has mostly played centre, not his job to go to the net. He is a playmaker. Glass did most of the work for Mackenzie. There is a reason he was passed over all 7 rounds of the draft and than drafted in his second year in the last round. Over 400 players were drafted before him.

 

[Deedog99]

I think the Petan experiment is done. As a small guy you really need to stand out. He hasn't.

 

[John Agar]

Yes, the points don't really matter....

And some of our prospects are showing well...

 

[surixon]

Come on Sting. Mckenzie is more of finisher then a creator but give him his due, he gets into scoring positions incredibly well and can finish from anywhere in close with his shot and hands. Not everyone needs to be able to create, complimentary finishers also have value.
