Game 17 : @ Canucks

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Time : Friday 9, TSN3

Stats : 9-6-1 @ 8-11-1

Streaks : L1 @ W1

Notes :

[HardCoreBlue]

We’ve essentially had Laine taken out of our lineup and replaced with nothing. I keep telling myself that you have to believe once we get PLD back in our lineup on a consistent basis and barring any unforeseeable injuries to others we will be in a much better spot 15 20 25 games down the road. Yea?

Rethinking Laine, Roslo & Vesa for RNH and Poolparty.

Would Edmonton have done that trade?  Poolparty looks good for sure right now, but so would my mother-in-law playing on a line with McDavid.

In the summer maybe before Poolparty v2 showed up.

Based on Jets lines rushes at morning skate, looks like C Nate Thompson returns between Harkins and Lewis; Stastny with Copp and Ehlers, Scheifele between Connor and Wheeler

 

Oh great, Thompson is back....  Said absolutely no one.

My best guess is Thompson's in to shore up the defensive side of things for the bottom 6. The Jets haven't been playing consistently well in their own end.

It’s no surprise that Thompson is back in, but I hate it.  Our D zone play has been less than stellar, for sure, but inserting Thompson on the 4th line isn’t going to change anything.  The 4th line had less than 4 damn minutes on Wednesday... And they had played well the last couple games.

 

I’m not even necessarily hating on Thompson.... It’s more about Vesalainen and Gustafsson missing out on playing time, that I think is ridiculous.

The hockey stick logo was awesome.  They should bring that back.

man what a nasty scuffle that was

Did Thompson even play on the PK?

Paul Maurice says the decision to put Nate Thompson in (and take Kristian Vesalainen out) is to help with penalty killing and defensive zone face offs, especially on PK.
