I don’t think anyone is saying Adams is the player to save our pressure problems, but he has 4 sacks, playing mainly as a DT, and limited snaps. Our D line is weaker without him and we’re only dressing 6. And one of them is Thomas. That’s a problem.

I could be wrong, but I feel like you got the response you were hoping for. Why does it matter how many of his tackles were catching the ball carrier from behind? Adams is a solid contributor on a D line that needs his skill set. Do you not think he should be in the lineup?

And to be fair to Adams, he’s been a healthy scratch a few times this season, so his numbers could/would be even better. Also consider what kind of success he and the D line overall would have, if he was consistently taking snaps next to Woods or Fox, instead of Thomas. This is a strange hill to die on. Do you think Adams isn’t good enough to be in the lineup? Do you think Thomas brings more to the table? Just curious.

No Cole, Adams or Woods? I don’t get it. As others have said, the offense better put up some points because I can’t see this defense getting it done. Especially rushing 3, which seems to be a favourite these days. I just don’t get it… Hopefully I’m wrong.

Then Barron gets dumped and no call.

Weak call on JMo.

Stanley drives me nuts.

Jets need to buckle down and execute their passes better. Momentum has definitely shifted away from them.

Stupid penalty by Stanley…. Especially after passing up the hit…. Which is always the play when you’re the biggest guy on the ice. I don’t think he’s ever going to get it.

Is it the same crew? Man, they’re bad.

It’s a formidable scent.

Anyone nervous about BA and/or Wilson being forced back into the lineup?

14? Where did you see that? Environment Canada shows a high of 8 for Saturday. Either way, very good weather for November, so it won’t be a factor.

Wow…. Well done Schmitty.

This is one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen.

There was a slight bump, sure, but that doesn’t negate the Tampa player using his stick to push Helle back in the net, prior to that. The refs and CC completely booted that call.

That was 100% interference. They barely looked at it and determined it wasn’t. Total fail.

I think it’s time for Gustafsson to get back in the lineup.

Yeah, I was only joking. But it sure would be nice to have a healthy Jeffcoat to trot out there next Saturday.

Agreed. Maybe he’s kept in shape and would like to play in a couple playoff games? 😁

These refs are absolutely awful.

Glad to hear Heinola is back on the ice. That kid needs some positives.

This is what drives fans nuts. If it was ruled an interception, it would’ve been automatically reviewed, but if it’s maybe an interception and not ruled as such, it’s not? That needs to change. And what the hell is the criteria for the CC to buzz down and intervene? They jump in on a random, pointless illegal motion that doesn’t really affect a play, but don’t feel it’s necessary when a turnover is missed? Come on.

I was only able to watch some of the 1st period, so I can’t comment on the game as a whole, but from the highlights it looked like Samberg and Pionk had a really rough outing. And I see they were -5 and -4 respectively. Ouch. It also seemed like the Leafs got some good bounces to go with the Jets sloppy play. (Tavares’ first two goals)

Such a stupid penalty by Stanley.
