Does Maurice see nothing wrong with our PK? It’s a huge liability and that’s nothing new.

Danny Austin ✔ @DannyAustin_9 After practice, Dave Dickenson ruled Tre Roberson out for Saturday’s game against the Bombers due to a concussion https://twitter.com/dannyaustin_9/status/1184881513948577797 …

Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 36m36 minutes ago #NHLJets HC Paul Maurice says he will hold C Bryan Little out for tonight. “Erring on the side of caution again.” Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 14m14 minutes ago With Little out for likely one more game, we already knew David Gustafsson was staying in, based on what HC Paul Maurice said yesterday. This just means both Appleton and Bourque will stay in. The #NHLJets lines will be a bit of a mystery until the pre-game warm-up Looks like Helle will start.

Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 3h3 hours ago #NHLJets line rushes this morning: Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler, Connor-Copp-Ehlers, Perreault-Lowry-Roslovic, Bourque-Gustafsson-Appleton. Mark Letestu is not on the ice this morning.

Is that some kind of an Amsterdam peep show? I don’t see the connection. 😁

Yeah, I hear ya. Even if Biteto was a big bruiser, you still want someone who can move the puck, no? The only thing I can think of is He's well liked in the room. Maurice loves that too.

And?

He'll rationalize his decision by saying it's a heavy Central division game, so he needs his 'sandpaper' guys. BS. Play your fast skilled guys and make the Wild chase you all game. And Gustafson is missing out on valuable playing time, sitting in the press box.

Looks like Dahlstrom and Niku will sit, with Morrissey and Kulikov back. For some reason Biteto continues to get playing time. Helle starts.

OMG Beyak, we know it’s Lafferty’s first NHL game. I didn’t give a sh!t the 1st 3 times you told us.

Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 2m2 minutes ago #NHLJets HC Paul Maurice would not commit to saying he was putting David Gustafsson into the lineup tonight for sure, but it’s definitely a consideration. Maurice spent a few minutes at end of Monday’s skate talking to the Swedish rookie For God sake, sit Letestu and put the kid in!!!

Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 5m5 minutes ago #NHLJets HC Paul Maurice says D Josh Morrissey is going to be held out tonight for precautionary reasons. Ken Wiebe‏Verified account @WiebeAthletic 4m4 minutes ago Sami Niku comes in for Morrissey, Dahlstrom is going to stay in according to Maurice.

Yeah, that looked cheap, but Sportsnet didn’t bother to show a replay.

Maybe a little.

Yup.

Letestu is a give away machine. Smart move to promote him to the 3rd line.

Wow, Biteto really stinks. I’m not surprised, but wow.

I'm not so sure, but a lot of the chances, the 4th line had, were driven by Roslovic. He deserves more ice time than Bourque... It's that simple.

The 4th line had 7 minutes. Bourque had 14 minutes. Switch Roslovic and Bourque for chrissakes.

Great work by Ehlers on the Scheifele goal.

I was joking.... Even in the AHL, that would be a stretch, to give him PP time. I can't understand what Maurice is doing... Gustafson and Luoto earned a chance to be in the lineup, but he clings to the vets. Biteto I can sort of see, given how thin we are on the back end, but man, he's terrible too.

There were many that hated the decision even in training camp, but he had 2 picks out of the gate and a lot of people forgot that he stunk.

Maybe he meant a PP2 specialist in the AHL.

It looks like Biteto will be playing... How much more desperate can we get?
