GDT: Preds @ Jets • Sat Mar 23rd, 6PM • Bell MTS Centre • Sportsnet

I agree this game is important -
It's also going to be very hard hitting, tight checking and potentially a grind - especially on the bottom 6.
I have no issue with giving Hendricks a few minutes tonight

Totally agree this is the type of game you need Hendy in the lineup for. He won’t hurt us in a bottom six role. Like others have said Roslovic hasn’t really done much with his opportunity

 

[LowLefty]

That’s the spirit, Johansen or PK start to get stabby send in the grey bush.

Call it grey grit

 

[Saintb]

I want to see a little more passion out of Roslovic.

Go :jerts Go!

Subban gif will never get old
Lets crush these kittens
Go jets

 

[PaulPooley]

Me. I still think he turns it around and has a better career.

Re: Laine..
I’m not so sure anymore. I love the kid, but I have my doubts he’ll ever find the consistency to his game

 

[SUX2BU]

Wondering what he does for abs

A 2-4 of beer ....

I'd call it a lack of confidence - he seems very tentative out there most nights.
I almost get the sense he has too much respect for his opponent -
He's better than he thinks he is.

I guess that whole thing about wanting to get Hendricks a game before the playoffs was BS. Arguably the most important game of the year and you put this bum in the lineup. Nashville isn’t good right now but this isn’t the Kings. You can’t purposefully field an inferior lineup and expect better results.

Except that Hendricks brings more value to this game than Roslovic does. Rosie is not playing well (all year really except for a few games). Perhaps some of this value is lighting a fire under his vastly under-performing a$$. He is veering towards a Petan trajectory.

 

[Jet]

Jets will come out firing tonight and beat the Mustard kitties and i feel shame Subban AGAIN !!!

Hope we do better against this Subban

 

[Jet]

I thought @PhilJets signed up for today's GDT?

Regardless, all I want are 2 things today...

#1) a unclenchworthy clinching win by our boys...

#2) no Garry Galley...

Oh damn I forgot. Guess I'm watching the Nashville feed tonight.

 

[Flair Hay]

This one could be the one to decide who gets to raise the regular season banner

I get wanting to sit Roslovic, even though he is still better than Hendricks despite his struggles, but there’s really no reason to not throw Appleton in there as a replacement. It’s so strange to me that Roslovic’s stagnant season means that Hendricks is a better option. It’s been made painfully clear over the past number of seasons that Hendricks is an absolute bottom tier NHL player. Even if he is struggling relative to expectations, Roslovic is a far better option. And absolutely worst of all, Maurice is clearly comfortable inserting Hendricks in as the extra forward, as most of us expected he would be and going into the playoffs that is EXTREMELY dangerous.

I think we are mostly on the same page. We both agree that Rosie is a vastly greater player 1 on 1. I do think there is value with putting Hendricks in for Rosie against the dirty preds and hopefully light a fire under Roslovic. Agree that Apple is better than Hendricks, and potentially Rosie as well - but he is playing big minutes trying to lead the Moose team to a playoff spot. Likely more value for Appleton's development where he is. For one game here or there, I am just fine with Hendricks getting in for Rosie or Perrault.

I wanna see Gramps in over do-little Roslovic

I can agree to most of this but we all know the more Maurice puts Hendricks in the lineup, the more comfortable he will be to do it more often. Before we know it, the guy is a regular. It’s a scary thought.

 

[Jet]

Yeah I'd throw Hendricks in tonight as well (throws up in mouth).

We need to start softening up the Preds for the post season. Hendricks really doesn't do that per se but I think he can get the boys in the right mindset on the ice/ bench.

I keep hoping to see more out of Jack - just a forgettable season for him.

 

[SUX2BU]

Just win .... that is all

We have limited call ups now. Appleton is with the Moose.

Except he does hurt in a bottom six role. Why is there a sentiment that he doesn’t hurt the team despite only playing limited minutes? Any minutes a bad player is on the ice for is a detriment to the team.

 

[AKAChip]

A big part of my frustration is there was nothing wrong with Appleton’s game when he was up and replacing him with Hendricks was a miscalculation. I like that he’s playing top minutes with the Moose but Hendricks is getting dangerously close to becoming a regular.

 

[Guardian17]

Only cuz you asked for it...

EDIT: sorry @chaos4, I didn't see your post until after I posted...

When I was his age I was hooking up with girls, but, everyone has different priorities in life!

I'm looking for an angry Jets team tonight to come in and wipe out the Mustard Kitties.


Go! Go!

Yeah, unfortunately Roslovic really hasn’t done much this year. Hasn’t taken a step forward from last year, not even close to being a top 6 forward let alone that 2C we all predict(ed) him to become. That stint on the 2nd line when Ehlers was injured was overall bad.
Hopefully he picks it up!
