Oh yes, the 4th line who will see all of 40 seconds of ice time hopefully Peluso,Cormier,Thorburn <--- Yes, that's our 4th line tonight...
Brandon Blue&Gold Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Look forward to seeing Postma play again. This might be his best chance to force his way into the lineup if the coaching staff is unhappy with Chiarot. Can he play the left side? (He's a right handed shot I believe?) Ducky 1

Mr Dee Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 GAME NOTES: The Jets will be looking to avenge losing both of last year’s match ups with the Flyers. Coach Paul Maurice announced Nic Petan is feeling “under the weather,” will not play tonight. Patrice Cormier, called up from the Manitoba Moose prior to Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, will see his first NHL action of the season. “I’ve got a comfort level with Patrice. He’s really good positionally. He actually makes more plays than I think he gets credit for in terms of outs and passes out of the zone,” said Maurice, who has liked what he’s seen from the fourth line this season. “Our fourth line is a +9 for us. I have a greater comfort level of playing them. Some things go hand in hand. Blake (Wheeler)’s minutes are down about a minute or so … and they’re producing more. The fourth line has been important for us.” Another line-up change appears to be on the blue line. Tyler Myers skated with Jacob Trouba (a pairing that Maurice said he liked late in the 3-2 shootout loss to Ottawa), and Paul Postma filled Trouba’s usual spot with Mark Stuart this morning. Like Cormier, this will be Postma’s first NHL regular season game in 2015-2016. “He’s played enough games in the NHL, I don’t want to give him a laundry list to think about before he goes out and plays,” said Maurice. “If he was a first-year guy that hadn’t played I might spend some time. We know he’s ready. He’s pushed himself.” That push will be key tonight, especially with both teams a little road weary. This will be Philadelphia’s final game of a five-game road trip (a stretch where they’ve gone 0-3-1). The Jets just finished a 2-1-1 road trip of their own. “This is one of these games, you may see four, five, or six different teams on the ice,” said Maurice. “Who you are in the first 10 minutes may be a little different than who you are in the next 10. For me, I’m going to try to be watching for those changes. There are parts of the game you won’t control, but you want to be as fast as you can.” The Jets have yet to lose two in a row this season, and Ladd said that’s a stat the dressing room is proud of. COPP CREEPING CLOSER After scoring his first NHL goal against Columbus on October 31, Andrew Copp has been nursing an upper-body injury that has kept him out of the line-up. “We’re expecting Andrew to skate Monday. But we’re going to have to wait three or four probably more days until we get a real, far more definitive timeline on this,” Maurice said. “But he’ll go back on the ice for the IR skate on Monday.” The Jets Head Coach added that he’s seen a lot of improvement in Copp’s game as his first full NHL season progressed. “There were hockey mistakes. There were things you’d like to see him do better, but there weren’t a lot of positional mistakes or thought mistakes on the ice,” said Maurice. “Then the next question is, ‘he understands the game, now how fast can he get?’ He was getting faster, and that line was getting zone time and getting chances to score. His face-off numbers were really improving ... I thought he was on a real nice plane of improvement.” NHL.COM PREVIEW FLYERS (4-6-3) at JETS (8-4-2) Season series: The Philadelphia Flyers won their two games against the Winnipeg Jets in 2014-15. Vincent Lecavalier scored two third-period goals before Jakub Voracek's second goal gave Philadelphia a 4-3 overtime win at MTS Centre on Dec. 21, 2014. A goal and an assist from Wayne Simmonds and 36 saves by Steve Mason led Philadelphia to a 5-2 win at Wells Fargo Center on Jan. 29. Jets team scope: Winnipeg returns home for one game sandwiched between four-game road trips. Coach Paul Maurice canceled practice Friday after a 2-1-1 trip that ended with a 3-2 shootout loss at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. Maurice has not announced his starting goaltender for Saturday, but he has alternated starts between Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Hutchinson for each of the past eight games; Hutchinson started in the shootout loss at Ottawa. Center Andrew Copp (upper body) remains out. Winnipeg begins a four-game Central Division trip Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild.

Pretty sure Postma would be the Right Handed D man on his pair with the Left Handed Stuart. If Postma does play this is how it should shake out also think that Maurice liked what he saw in the 3rd with Trouba and Myers taking a few shifts together, top pairs will get plenty of works bottom pair a little less.
BigBlueFanatic Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 With how the central is shaking out, every point is so important. Would be a real boost to add two points before the upcoming tour against division rivals...

Pretty sure Postma would be the Right Handed D man on his pair with the Left Handed Stuart. I was thinking more down the road if Maurice put Stuart back with Trouba, being able to play both sides might keep Postma in the lineup. But if the Trouba-Myers pairing is permanent then it's a moot point. Postma would be 3rd pairing on the right side with Stuart on the left. This assumes that Postma plays well, of course.

Oh yes, the 4th line who will see all of 40 seconds of ice time hopefully Peluso,Cormier,Thorburn <--- Yes, that's our 4th line tonight... About 40 desonds too much....I just cna't believe that Cormier is our best player to be called up. On the other hand, if the top 9 forwards and top 4 D play the great part of the game, the Flyers should have their hands full. Chiarot looked so good in the pre-season and is just awful in his own zone in the regular season. Not sure whether this is Maurice saying wake the hell up or getting Postma some time for some GMs to check him out. If they are sitting a LHD, why isn't Pardy playing? Maybe there is a trade in the works.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 If the score holds up, its the kind of game where something happens afterwards...
The Unknown Poster Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Terrible. Jets better get their **** together or they could be in a bad place after the road trip.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 You can't win them all True but you don't have to lose ugly to a bad team either.
bustamente Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Tough to watch a game that you should win but were never going to
Noeller Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Flyers are awful this year and Jets played down to them. Shame.
Mr Dee Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Ineffective power play 0-5, ineffective penalty kill 2-5 and a goaltender who made saves at the right time...28 times. We outhit them, won the faceoff battle, less giveaways, more takeaways, But that goaltender and 19 blocked shots by Philidelphia, well, that will do it most nights. Bummer. kelownabomberfan 1
Goalie Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Posted November 8, 2015 Jets were the better team but Neuvirth and penalties made the difference
HardCoreBlue Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Jets were the better team but Neuvirth and penalties made the difference He was seeing the puck brilliantly last night. We need Drew Stafford's game back. He's not as dominant thus far as we saw last year. Just an observation from the games I've seen.
Taynted_Fayth Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 one of the commentators said the jets look like a team trying to find their legs after a road trip, it showed. this might be an ugly road trip coming up
bustamente Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Jets were the better team but Neuvirth and penalties made the difference He was seeing the puck brilliantly last night. We need Drew Stafford's game back. He's not as dominant thus far as we saw last year. Just an observation from the games I've seen. Unfortunately this is the Drew Stafford that has played in Buffalo, plays well for a stretch then all but disappears for weeks at a time.
The Unknown Poster Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 The third line is not being asked to score though. Maurice was raving about them the other day. Ducky 1
Goalie Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Posted November 8, 2015 Then why are they out in the third so much when we need to score
The Unknown Poster Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Hey I'm just saying what Maurice said.
bustamente Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Last nights game shows why you need 3 lines capable of scoring. Our top 2 lines couldn't get it going for whatever reason, be it great goaltending or taking to many perimeter shots or no presense in front of the net. Your not going to get too many goals from the bottom 2 lines as they line up right now. Goalie 1
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Jets were the better team but Neuvirth and penalties made the difference He was seeing the puck brilliantly last night. We need Drew Stafford's game back. He's not as dominant thus far as we saw last year. Just an observation from the games I've seen. Yeah, ive noticed the slump as well. I'd take one of his empty net, deflected goals about now The third line is not being asked to score though. Maurice was raving about them the other day. Might be true. We should have 6 guys this year scoring 20 at least. Swap Lowry and Burmi?
The Unknown Poster Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I might consider swapping Burmi and Petan first and then Petan and Lowry.
