Goalie

4th line doesn't get much ice and have actually been pretty lackluster the last couple of games when they do get ice. I think at this point I'd sit Stafford... took a really lazy penalty late last night in the Tampa zone away way away from the play and play thorburn I'd strongly consider sending 1 ot both of petan and Copp down to Manitoba and bringing up Howden and someone else cuz I honestly don't see how playing 4th line minutes is good for 2 young guys who still could be developing and playing a lot more minutes with Manitoba

Why not let Tanev develop in the A for a bit and just play Thor instead of Stafford

Here's an interesting question to ponder. Would the Jets be any worse with Thorburn in the lineup instead of Stafford?

Give it a few days and maybe not but I think he is yeah. Maybe stu in for Chiarot then. Chiarot is a liability even in dominant wins

Helle should start. Maybe myers is back also. Why go on the road trip if not. Chiarot should sit.

Answer: 4. Question : how many games have the jets won in a row on the road. . Helle looks like he's in a groove. He should start against buffalo unless you don't want to win or have a shot at winning 3 in a row. Playing hutch would be stupid and I'd imagine helle starts since 3 or 4 days off now. Chiarot sucks Great game by everyone except Chiarot

I think the problem is he's mixing his meds with alcohol. Jesus. Talk about rage and anger issues

At what point do you get the ban hammer. I'm thinking it might be soo.

Not sure it's the one. But.... really it's Paul Friesen. I'd be surprised if he wasn't the guy but not sure how something said about Wheeler on 2011 is relevant but yeah... I'd imagine it's more recent. I thought I read an article maybe I dunno... but it wasn't friesen but definitely the sun and I thought it was a little amateurish. Wish I could remember when but really.... kinda proves how noteworthy I found that column

ESL weren't very good in the 1st. But definitely dominated in the 3rd.

They play how the Jets should. Exciting young team for sure.

Lol. Bottom line we are riff raff compared to these people.

He wants to be there. No taxes. Beautiful weather. Team first guy

Give Hutch Buffalo or don't play him again until helle is gassed

We have better than league average goaltending from helle 5 on 5. Our PK kills us tho. It's legit cost us games and almost cost us another tonight. I remember plenty of games that we have lost because our PK is almost dead last. You give us a average PK... we probably have 5 or 6 more wins if not more... there was a stretch where helle didn't let in a 5 on 5 goal for 2 games and we went 1 and 1. Our PK is our downfall and will be the reason we miss the playoffs

Certain things are off limits I feel. What someone says at a game in the heat of the moment... I'd consider that off limits. I'd actually consider it almost tabloid type national enquirer stuff. Regardless of what Chipman said... it's off limits. There is this thing called mutual respect and I have always felt that our media outside of a couple guys now don't really understand what that means. They feel that they can **** on teams players coaches and justify it by saying that's my job. But thats not how it works and it really isn't their job. If you actually listen to O'shea or Maurice talk in their media availabilities... you can hear the respect they have for certain guys (Bauming Penton Wiebe even Hamilton ) and the outright disdain they rightfully have for guys like Wicek and Friesen who constantly crap on them and their team. Welcome to 2017. Where people don't really give a crap about what guys like Wicek and Friesen have to say because 1. We have heard it all before 2. We have ways of getting the info we want ourselves and 3. Bottom line really... who reads a paper anymore. If I'm Wicek and Friesen and these guys. I think very long and hard next time I decide to crap on teams or coaches cuz in a couple of years when I'm unemployed because print media is dead.... you will have pissed the people you could be working for off.

Tampa dominated for periods of the game. Helle was very very good especially in the first and the 3rd for that matter. Yeah. Tampa scored a few in the third but helle made some huge saves. Didn't like the play of the 4th line at all and Postma and Chiarot. Everyone else was pretty solid. Buff coasting back in to our zone last on the 2nd Tampa goal. Still odd coaching decisions like stafford on the PP and PK and a very passive PK in general. But a good rebound game after a very lackluster effort against the Islanders

It's because IT IS .

Meh. Should have? Nah he deserved a chance to show what he could do. Got passed on the depth chart. Oh well.

I guess if we aren't going to be making the playoffs... play hutch more. Liljegren Patrick or Hishier would look nice in Jets colors

Ya epic fail not getting a 7th Rd pick for him. They shopped him. Nobody wanted to give up ANYTHING. Oh well.

Yeah. I should probably start blaming rookies to the nhl and not the 500 career coach who has been around for years and had the same results everywhere he's coached. Silly me. Lack of discipline crap pk penalties stupid line shuffling and roster decisions are totally not on the coaches.

Crapping on the goalies and pretty much only them after every loss suggests injuries aren't really the number 1 reason tho. I dunno tho.

Chiarot only looked good when buff was playing like a man possessed. He's never been that good. I'm not sure Stu is am option. I'd think he would have been playing a bit more if he was.

What they could do... Chiarot should not be playing on a regular basis. Waive him to manitoba. Sign Czuchman or whoever you spell it to a PTO.. he's with the Moose on a AHL deal and has been their best d by far. He deserves a shot. He'd be an upgrade on Chiarot. Major trades seem unlikely since there's been none but a minor one to upgrade your bottom pairing D could be an option if signing Czuchman isn't. Get myers back. Buff Morrissey Trouba Enstrom Myers Czuchman. It's better than what we currently have. That's all they really can do. Comrie isn't being brought up. Ducky thinks it's goaltending but it's not... it's the way the team plays in the D zone. Fix the D zone play and the goalies improve. Besides that or firing Maurice... nothing much will happen until the trade deadline or after the expansion draft. In football you can tell when a coach is a dead man walking... same with every sport and right now... Maurice looks like he's thar dead man walking. Efforts like the 1 against the islanders and Canucks for that matter... those usually result in the firing of a coach shortly after. I think if you see similar lack of effort on this road trip... Maurice might be sent packing.
