I think it was supposed to be ‘could’ve’ been...

Good point, I had forgotten all about that. I was wondering about the RFA situation. That’s something, I guess.

Really hope Chevy did his due diligence and PLD actually wants to be here. His contract is done after next year? Would be brutal have nothing to show for this trade.

Stanley doesn’t qualify as a first year player? Does AHL count?

I’d love to see Vesalainen get a shot, but there’s no way Maurice will take Perreault out of the lineup. Maybe Gustafsson will get a chance, if Thompson is out. I would have started him from day one.

I’ve been one to pimp Niku for more ice time, but yeah, he’s looked poor so far. He didn’t even flash anything offensively, which is where he really needs to shine. He doesn’t deserve to play, given Heinola and Samberg waiting in the wings.

We sure did... This team has a lot of warts, but you got to give them credit for clawing back and getting the 2 points.

The Jets PK strategy seems to be, give up the D zone with no resistance, then form a flaccid box and hope the puck hits you.

Looked like a tip by Lowry.

Yeah, I’ve hardly paid any attention to what’s going on down south. Looks like their 1st game is on Friday.

Didn’t Dallas have an outbreak? Their schedule was altered right out of the gate, I believe.

No Laine again tonight. Rest of the lineup is unchanged. No Stutzle for the Sens.

The thing is, I don’t think Maurice would ever ‘demote’ Wheeler or give him more appropriate ice time. Hopefully it’s just early season rust, because right now he looks no bueno.

Pretty stark contrast between PP/PK in this period. Jets look passive and absolutely lost. Leafs entire PP was in our zone; was just a matter of time. Shots 29-11.

Ehlers didn’t practice, but will make the trip. DeMelo won’t play and neither will Poolman. Stanley or Samberg will get a shot.

Winnipeg Jets @NHLJets · 1h #NHLJets have canceled their practice scheduled for today. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution due to potential exposure of COVID-19. There is no further information at this time. Information regarding tomorrow’s schedule will come at a later time.

I’ve actually liked what I’ve seen from Forbort so far.

How in the hell was the hit on Connor only 2 minutes? Complete BS.

He’ll need ice time to prove anything, so it’ll likely depend on injuries.

Ehlers has apparently tested negative.

@WPGMurat · 5m #NHLJets skate: 11F: Scheifele, Wheeler, Copp, Connor, Laine, Lewis, Perreault, Appleton, Harkins, Thompson, Vesalainen 7D: Morrissey, Poolman, Forbort, Pionk, Beaulieu, DeMelo, Niku 2G: Hellebuyck, Brossoit I don't see Stastny, Lowry, or Ehlers. Reasons for missing may vary.

Yeah, he hasn’t been practicing. I guess it would just be a simple switch, to bring in Perreault from the taxi squad. Haven’t looked into how that works, but can’t imagine there’s a lot of hurdles to clear. Still hate Thompson playing over Gustafsson.

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler Connor-Stastny-Laine Copp-Lowry-Appleton Perreault-Thompson-Lewis Vesalainen-Gustafsson Morrissey-Poolman Forbort-Pionk Beaulieu-DeMelo Niku rotating in This may be how the lines end up. Really don’t like Thompson on the 4th. Can’t understand why he would play over Gustafson. Maybe it has something to do with Gustafson working back after his injury in Sweden, but I’m doubtful. DeMelo on the bottom pair seems a bit strange.

Thank you sir. Didn’t want to work for me.
