Laine expected to play tonight.

I’ve said a hell of a lot worse than that.

Morrissey is skating today, in a non contact jersey, so it looks like Niku is the one out for a bit. Dahlstrom is skating too.

Cheeseandrice.

To be fair, Maurice does love Bitetto... He's played him 49 times... 49 times! He's said, on more than one occasion, that he's a good communicator, experienced guy and great in the room. That's the character that he allegedly possesses. Even with our depleted blue line, Bitetto has played way too much.

Move along.... Nothing to see here...

I give him no props for the fight. I was hoping he was simply benched for being a complete disaster, but you could be right about an injury.

Have to admit, I’m shocked we tied that up. Pretty good effort after the 1st. Didn’t see a lot of Bitetto in the 2nd half of the game.

You’ve got to be kidding.... Thorburn? Maurice could call up Lipon, but he has to play Bourque 4 minutes a game.

It was Ehlers.

Anyone still think Bitetto is better than anyone? He screws up and Brossy bails him out... Maurice keeps him out there and we immediately pay. He stays out AGAIN and gets into a fight... Trying to save face. Just brutal. He is absolutely awful, but Maurice is a complete idiot for constantly putting him out there.

Nope, not even close for me. Ideally Beaulieu wouldn’t be playing either, but he’s better than Bitetto.

As many have already stated, I don't like the lines. They netted us 1 goal against the Sabres... I guess that's satisfactory?

@WiebeAthletic Sami Niku not staying on for extra work so it looks like he’s returning to #NHLJets lineup tonight, would imagine he’s paired with Tucker Poolman vs #Caps Glad to see Maurice removed his head from his ass and decided to keep Bitetto off the ice.

@WiebeAthletic #NHLJets line rushes: Harkins-Scheifele-Wheeler Connor-Copp-Laine Ehlers-Eakin-Roslovic Bourque-Shore-Appleton Shaw is the extra forward

What is Anaheim smoking? That is goddamn ridiculous. And yeah, wow on the Ladd trade.

I hope that's a joke?

So, they're all a-holes?

Switch Laine and Wheeler and I’d be good with those lines.

I don’t mind those lines, except for Copp in the top 6. He just doesn’t fit IMO.

No shots for the last 9+ minutes. Nice line tinkering.

Good call Maurice.... Bitetto looked great on that 1st goal.

And Bitetto takes his place. Are you friggin kidding me Maurice? Unreal.

To me, that makes no sense. Why break up a line that has been performing well, with a guy they’ve never played with? Drop Shore and put Eakin there. I’d also swap Copp and Roslovic, but Maurice won’t do that.

Laine and Connor have looked good... I’m not sure about Copp. Still don’t like him in the top 6.
