I am still mad at this team.



Jets win today though.

Hopefully the Jets are sharing that same emotion and throw it everything they can at Denver.

 

[MardyBum]

Yes....

Lets take out the guy who had 3 goals in 39 games, and replace him with the guy who had 2 goals in 26 games, while leaving the guy who had 19 goals eating popcorn.

Did Cole kick Bone's dog or something? Just wondering...

22 is too young to trust in the playoffs, ask Wyatt Johnston .

I hope we get the 2-3 games of NHL Axel where he scores until Barron comes back

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Can't say I agree with the AJF substitution. Not sure what they're going for here other than injecting some speed into the lineup. Maybe Gustafsson is hurt? I don't get the logic otherwise.

Interesting choice by the Jets today, I have to wonder what Perfetti is thinking at this point, last time he got back into the lineup he played well but apparently not well enough for Bones

Probably thinking he should work on his skating in the off-season.

AJF's return is a metaphor and symbolizes the resurrection of the Winnipeg Jets.

Let's gooo guys!!!

It's obviously a move to try to match the Avs speed. Perfetti is going to be a big part of the Jets future but he's not that guy at the moment.

I (we) may not agree with all of the Bones decisions but I'm cutting some slack for the coach who led us to a 110 point regular season and 4th overall in the league.

Bones is only a good coach when they win, and an absolute old school dino when they lose.

I would have tried Perfetti for Toffoli... and Miller/Schmidt

That being said, I've always liked AJF's game - probably would have sat Iafallo

 

[Dirtbag151]

This is the game that we win
I think we tighten up and play our game and shut them down like we have before
However I still have rum if we lose but it will be unhappy rum

 

[bustamente]

So Toffoli and Monahan can handle the Avs speed but Perfetti can't. Good to know and good luck today

 

[MardyBum]

Probably thinking he should work on his skating in the off-season.

Wonder if he can work with Monahan and Toffoli, figure out their secret

And if putting in AJF is an attempt to match the Avs speed, then he better get 20+ minutes of ice time, because giving him 6 minutes is pointless.

No way Toffoli would've sat. Maybe move him down the lineup but not sat.

 

[bustamente]

...........and why are they breaking up Slammy and Schmidt

Advice from 2 players who have been around. Not a bad idea.

Yeah, he's only going to get 6 minutes of ice time. It won't make any difference.

 

[abax44]

Could you imagine Stanley and Pionk...

Not a bad combo of you don't plan to play them.

 

[tbcwpg]

...........and why are they breaking up Slammy and Schmidt

The alternative is give Stanley Dillon's spot with Pionk, which has just given me convulsions typing that out.

 

[bustamente]

He'll be lucky to see the third period if the Jets are down

 

[abax44]

Also likely true.

The point was that they are slower skaters then Perfetti. It's not a speed issue, it's a coach preferring experience issue.

Hopefully third time is the charm for him on trusting his vets. They have let him down for three games now.

 

[bustamente]

You line up the d as follows, Pionk with Joshua, Slammy with Schmidt and DeMelo with Tree

 

[MardyBum]

Samberg-Pionk were good early in the season, but Dillon-Schmidt were bad, so they went to the standard bottom 6 and never seriously tried any other combos despite chances to with Pionk struggling for so long.

A shame, hope they can recapture that good combo from months ago.

I know what the point was and I chose to mock it.

Edit - honestly, I'd have probably pulled Iafallo to get a Perfetti in. Move him up and down between the 2nd and 4th as necessary, and give him the PP time.
