Either trade him or put him back on the D. Him being a winger on the Jokinen line is a total waste. It's like if you have a Mercedes but you are using the Mercedes to plough the fields at your farm and ruining the value of Mercedes while at the same time not ploughing your field properly. Either go back to using the Mercedes the way it's supposed to or sell it and buy a set of tools more suitable to ploughing the field. This madness has to stop
I really think you forgot how bad he was defensively. Ya you might get 1 goal, but ya, The sharks woulda scored 2 or 3 more.

That 4th line is severely lacking in so many ways right now. I'd like to see a Klingberg - Odell - Wright/Peluso (?) 4th/3rd line for a few games. Even Slater would be a decent upgrade right now.
Also, I agree that Seto sucked donkey schnuggets tonight.

I liked Toby throwing the body around tonight.
This is going to be my obigatory post praising Toby's play. Just so smart with the puck... whenever the puck is on his stick or he is checking a forward I feel a sense of calm... a feeling that everything is going to be okay. He hasn't put on the points this season but he absolutely dynamite for the Jets.

Tough to say, we haven't seen Buff play D under Maurice. I thought Noel played Buff way too much and gave him minutes he hadn't earned.

They've been hitting home runs in so many areas. Trades, their first round draft picks (Hamill was a bust), their later picks, their signings.

WOW Adam Wazny throwing around advanced stats in 1290 to defend Buff on defense. Colour me impressed by Mr Wazny
Edit: Now Adam Wazny calling out the Jets saying Stuart gets crazy outshot everytime he's on the ice yet Buff gets the blame despite outshooting the opponent and saying there is a double standard. Loving Adam Wazny tonight

It's gotta be way easier to play in net behind the B's defense, but Rask does well for himself as well!

Coach Maurice's post game - Assessment of the loss. Sharks defensive game. Thought’s on the Trouba hit. Is the team that is heading back to Winnipeg a better one than the one that left Winnipeg? Generating offence. Reflection on his first five games. Thought’s on his shut down pair of Enstrom/Bogosian.

Fire Maurice & Chevy
The Jets held their own with one the best teams in the league.
Pavelec played great & gave them a chance to win.

you would think Olli/Seto/Buff could at least hold their own playing as a 3rd line but holy crap it's been bad - especially without last line change
I've been super impressed with Bogo recently. He's playing great hockey and I'm seeing him starting to live up to expectations. It's a small sample size but he's playing better physically and in terms of decision making.
He's skating with the puck so much more I think it must be a reflection of Maurice or Noel.

Could you imagine if Buff only played O at home. While being a defender on the road

I don't know if it's because MTS Centre is so loud & boisterous for Jets games, but there seems to be such a dull atmosphere in the 29 other NHL arenas... and many, many empty seats even in the "good" markets.

The Jets went toe-to-toe with one of the best offensive teams in the league - for the entire 60 minutes. A little better puck luck and that game goes to OT, or maybe even the Jets win in regulation. It was that close.
Jokinen may have had the bad turnover that led to the only goal, but aside from that I thought he had a strong game. As in a 200 foot game, and was dragged down by Seto and Buff.
That's a tough loss, but it was a good loss, if there's such a thing. The Jets, especially the Calder twins, have become a much more dynamic team under Paul Maurice. Last night it wasn't just Frolik and Kaner who competed; several other Jets kept moving their feet and taking the hard stuff in the corners, which was shown by the Sharks only being able to score one goal. That's a huge positive, even if it was a loss. Cut down on the goals and chances against, and keep doing the little things, and the wins will follow.
All in all, and entertaining game. On the road. Against the Sharks. Even in a loss, the rollercoaster still feels like it's going up.

Fell asleep right after puck drop.
Woke up at 18:38 of the third.
Saw San Jose's goal.
Went back to sleep at 12:05 of the third.
Guess I didn't miss much

The unfortunate thing about losing this game is that we have dug ourselves such a hole that we can't afford to lose. We need to go on another 4 game winning streak, and another, and another... we can't lose to Chicago on Sunday, I am kind of dreading that game but at the same time very excited to see how the Jets 2.1 react. If only Chevy would have fired Noel a month ago, it might have made a big difference. With everyone winning last night, it really hurt us.
That third line is straight up garbage. I feel bad for Joki. Granted he had a poor game last night and did cause the losing goal but Buff was useless again and Seto made Buff look good Byfuglien needs to go back to D or something because he is wasted where he is. Maybe Maurice can get his head on straight?
People were blaming Pavs for the goal but I will give him credit. He has played very well recently and battled hard after getting stung by Burns. He played more than well enough for us to win last night and could have very easily got that shutout. I still think he is a career 906 goalie but willing to give him one last chance.
Overall I love the way this team is playing. If it keeps up I hope we extend Maurice, playoffs or not.

So, they should just delay the postgame show til the middle of the night to get some positivity outta Wazoo then?

The more time passes, it's more obvious that we need to trade Buff at the deadline. He is just miss used. I liked the Mercedes comparison on here.
He's a weapon and he's useful - but not for us anymore. We don't need him on the first or second defensive pairing. Bogo finally is going where he should have gone all season and Trouba is a freakin monster. Playing Buff on the 3rd pairing isn't an option, IMO.
The problem is: How do you handle the situation now? You want to make him play well and produce so contenders want him around deadline. If he just floats around during the upcoming 4 weeks, you won't get the highest return. It's a tricky situation.
Actually, I'd like to see Chevy start shopping him right now. If you think about it, over the last 2-3 years, most (especially bigger trades) have been made around two weeks before the deadline day. If he starts talking with people, this would mean 3 weeks from today. Enough time to have people make their offers and then decide two weeks before deadline.
It would help the situation, Chevy could excuse Buff "floating" by the fact that they want to trade him to a contender and because of that, not overuse him that much for the next couple of weeks.
I'm fine with the way we played. Could have gone to either team but we haven't been able to score a goal and their goal was kind of a lucky bounce. Happens.
We outplayed them in the first, IMO, the second was even and Sharks outplayed us in the third. Game should have gone to OT.
