it would be nice to have another former Wheat King in the lineup (don't forget Buffy is a former Wheat King)

I didn't know that.  I only saw him in the WHL when he was with Prince George.

... don't know who mark olafson is but, no match for tuff buff.  No wonder Buff looks tired sometimes, he's been toiling at hockey a long time.

I've seen that same move by Buff after the fight a few times at MTS LOL ...

Roslovic called up...  likely gets a taste of how much harder it is to try and set up Thorburn than Connor...

Assuming Petan will sit because yknow... Tanev's grit and Thorb's sand.

To be fair it was only for about 11 games.  Most of his WHL time was with Prince George.

Ugh.  This makes me sick, because, you're probably right.  Why would Maurice change now?  Especially since Thorburn has been the reason for our current 4 game heater.

Connor called up also 

Maybe Connor Roslovic Armia 

Copp Lowry Thor 

[Atomic]

Long term plan for Roslovic seems to be at Centre but I hope he gets a look at wing as well while he is up.

#NHLJets lines today:
Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Little-Laine
Copp-Lowry-Armia 
Tanev-Petan-Thorburn
Connor-Roslovic-Dano

Would be interesting if Maurice swapped the entire fourth line

 

[Goalie]

Maurice should change up all the lines 

Laine Scheif Ehlers 

Connor little wheeler 

Perreault Roslovic Armia

Copp Lowry Dano 

Games mean nothing.  Switch it all up

With the Moose...

[Floyd]

In a rational world, where the Jets are actually looking at prospects and not just trying to get Maurice an extension... we'd be watching

ESW

Laine-Little-Petan

Connor-Lowry-Armia

Copp-Roslovic-Dano

I don't mind this at all... Or a variation of it... But we all know it will never happen.

Although I am intrigued by the 2 call ups and what Maurice will do.  They weren't called up to sit on their ass.  Right?

[Brandon Blue&Gold]

So Roslovic and Connor will travel with the team but not play, according to Maurice via twitter.  Then what's the point?  An NHL paycheque and a nice view from the pressbox?  I already know what Tanev and Thorburn bring to the team.  I'd really like to see what a Connor/Roslovic/Dano (or Petan) line can do even if it was only for 3 games.  Guess I'll have to wait until next season.  But I can't say I'm surprised.  The Thorburn farewell tour continues...

Roslovic and Connor will play against Columbus, but yeah, let them play now!! Enough trying to be good to Thorburn. They've been plenty good to him over the years. It's ridiculous.
