32 Thoughts: The Podcast

Hockey fans already know the name, but this is not the blog. From Sportsnet, 32 Thoughts: The Podcast with Jeff Marek and NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman is a weekly deep dive into the biggest news and interviews from the hockey world.

Pretty much laid out his philosophy with regards to icetime this season and a discussion about Perfetti's icetime, would be of interest in particluar to @surixon. Said that when he was with Dallas he was very hard on Robertson and Hintz whereas he uses a "different tone" with Cole.

Also an interesting tidbit that apparently last season 2 Jets players got into to in the locker room over one player extending his shifts on the ice. Would love to know the players involved.

I'll have to give it a listen when I have a chance.

Bowness talks about Perfetti in today's practice video as well

 

[surixon]

Ok I listened to both and yeah playing the first and third lines a lot when they were going is fine. I also have never had an issue with his ice time in games where the team can't stay out of the box. It goes without saying that he'll play less when we are spending too much time killing penalties. I'm not so sure I agree with the comment on Barron. I mean why aren't the other fourth liners out there in those situations if your rationale is about making them feel apart of it. I liked his last year explanation about wanting size out to xloae out games better.

I wish they would have been more specific on why he isn't playing in specific offensive situations like 3 on 3.

I kind of wish he didn't talk about being hard on the Dallas players and being different with Cole. It invited the whole if he can he take it question by our media.

On other comments:

Still didn't care for his talk about the PP. Still seems to want to wait until he has everyone back for the PP and thinks that will solve it.

Pretty much stated Dubois wanting out caused issues in the room. By the tone of his voice he isn't sad to see him go.

Probably Schmidt giving JMo shit cuz he's cutting into his ice time.......

No shocker on the ice time philosophy - and the way this team is constructed, and how they have been successful with this build, and how the lines are rolled (and their impact), it's hard to argue. And even harder to find ways to get everyone involved to the point where they are all happy. I don't think there is an easy answer in providing everyone with the minutes they want and at the same time, manage the minutes so that you are not breaking what is working.

There wasn't much in that interview that leaves me scratching my head - I think he's getting it done and he's allowing some insight into how he needs to work with players, build trust, and get them all moving in the same direction - and IMO, he's done a hell of a job.

So, nice interview - and fairly revealing when you consider how hard it is to get these guys to discuss some of the challenges a coach works through.

My money's on that Ehlers padding out his 12 mins with an extra carry or two and the then-Captain coming down righteously hard.

Also waiting on the Angriest Wild Fan to fasten onto that "different tone" for yet another told-ya-so chapter in the long-running saga of Snowflake Cole Perfetti and Lyin' Ryan Hartperson.

Will give it a listen. Bowness is a fun interview. I can run it in the background as I catch up on the last 18 Jets games.

I thought Rick handled the interview well. Pretty strait shooter that is careful but he ducks way less and uses almost zero hockey cliques.

The thing that strikes me most is if you didn’t know you would never guess by his tone that this guy is crowding 70 years old. I guess some guys just have a passion that doesn’t wain with age.

 

[DRW204]

annoying that this poll is still visible

wish we could redo this poll now that we're in the halfway part of his 2nd year instead 1/4 through his 1st season.

I found that the voting is fluid, I can change my vote at any time, and thus probably anyone can.

Good call. Missed that.

He deserves an A for this years first half for sure.

Blake and Pierre

Is this speculation or is this based on some info? I'd believe it if it was those players, Nik from TopLyneJets also said he heard about a rift between PLD and Scheifele last season.

[Jet]

Honestly I still have moments when my mind is blown that Rick Bowness is the coach of the Jets.

It really does bring back some extremely fond memories of my youth.

I was always so naive about the Jets chances back then, I thought they could win the cup every year. That hope still lives in me now, but with a measure of realistic expectations that come wth experience.

If Rick won a cup here, I might be happier for him than even myself.

Having a man like that as our head coach fills me with absolute pride.

Boner's a beauty.
