I will second this post. The score did not reflect the game.

Going to see the Moose tonite. I am predicting now that Berdin will eventually surpass Comrie on the depth chart.

Not be a smart ass but your prediction is the same as me saying, I’m predicting today is Wednesday

Comrie has done basically nothing with his few NHL starts. It's over for him with the Jets.

As for the game there was pushback but not enough. Simply upping the 'compete level' will not overcome the tactical problems lying underneath the individual effort levels IMHO.

So much for my idea that the Jets would finally beat the Wild. Actually did think there was a lot more effort than in recent games - a positive. But when your goalie can't stop a beach ball, that trumps effort.
Still don't understand why we went with Comrie in what I considered an important game, or sending Ehlers down and Little up. Ehlers and Connor get shuffled around like a ping-pong ball but, no matter the effort or results, Laine stationary. Guess it is because he is lighting it up!
How many games will we win when the fourth line continues to be the best line?

Yeah, as suspected there is something seriously wrong with the team and in the dressing room. With players only meetings and practice cancelled for another players and coaches meeting today its pretty obvious the Jets are going nowhere this year. That is disappointing but I can stomach that. I'm more worried as to what this means for next year - are we in another tear down and rebuild? Probably not and shouldn't be but I can't see this team moving forward from this without serious personnel changes, and that includes more than just the coach.

Our boys are dealing with heightened expectations ... from the fans and themselves ... they came outa of nowhere last year and exceeded many expectations ... now they are expected to do at least as well as last year if not more

No doubt this has placed a different vibe in the dressing room ... and they will have to deal with it to succeed

I have been at the arena this season when these guys have played some fantastic hockey ... the Tampa game comes to mind, first ... they have the talent

I am less concerned about player usage and line combo's - - - my main concern is the mental state of the players ... are you prepared to give it your best - ALL THE TIME ! .. 60 minutes a game - no let up - focus & concentration - EXECUTE !

Nothing at all wrong with a players only meeting - nothing at all

BE HUNGRY ! ... WANT IT !

One f'ing game at a time ... no looking ahead

Yep, good post

Everyone can rejoice, the Ultimate one has returned. I have not watched a game in the last 3 and half weeks. Can someone please give me a synopsis of how this team has been playing?

I am not taking it as a smartass remark. I have put my time in watching the Moose and Comrie. Good kid, good goalie and one bad game doesn't mean that his career is over. But, there is a steady backup on the cheap that is ahead of him depth wise and the youngster nipping at his heals behind him.

Comrie is beatable up high and last nite just showed some weaknesses and his specialty is down low. Berdin is coming, whether you like it or not.

So, just to recap, one bad game doesn't mean it is all over for him, not at all. But, he has not cracked the backup role yet and there is another hot prospect waiting in the wings. Just looking down the road and I like Berdin's character, can do attitude, puck playing abilities, and the ability to shut the door that the kid possesses. For a youngster, he has swagger. Just saying, mark my words, this kid will be playing higher level than Comrie in a year or two.

I was wondering where you went! Your return will certainly help the team!

To be honest, the loss hurts but I don't care on this one. Ya, it would obviously be better had they won but a tired crew needs some help, which they did not get from Comrie.

At this point, I am not sure who the team is better off playing first, Nashville, St. Louis or Dallas. I think I am leaning Nashville and #2 with St. Louis however this in only based on my personal opinion and not on stats.

The game was a 2 to one game for the most part had Comrie not been the victim of bad bounces. I am not ready to fire anyone yet. On to the next!

The real season is starting soon. I will agree however that PoMo needs to be a bit more creative in blending lines. For the life of me, I can't understand why he hasn't tried, at least tried Little on the 4th line with MP and JR and stick Copp back up with Lowry and Tanev.

On a positive, Helle has been good and steady. And I will take that one because the team can rally around that and build confidence.

Go Jets!

Welcome back, I will refrain from what Jets were worse than others debate and just say, there is nothing good to report. The entire team as a whole has sucked and nothing the coach has done should warrant any level of confidence that he knows how to turn it around. Sorry for not having a more positive answer

Welcome back Ultimate. I hope you had a nice sabbatical.

As for the Jets play of late, as you can tell by the recent posts there are issues. I see the cancer in the room and on the ice as none other the Patrick Laine . I think the veterans are getting a bit tired of supporting the kid. The bottom line is that Appleton, or Lemieux , or maybe even Shaw could have been a better fit than Laine since Xmas on any line Laine has played.

Trouba has also been absolutely brutal on the top PP unit. I can't even remember the last time that unit scored a goal. He's been horrendous. A successful PP has been part of the Jets winning fabric. Its hard to win games without some contribution from our PP.

What happened to that positive attitude Ross. That was only 2 days ago.

What irks my pile is that the #1 unit comes out, each time and plays for a minute and a half, then the second unit comes out. The first unit is very predictable, you know its going to set up with Wheeler on the wall. Then, they stay out there for 90 seconds minimum and voila, dead dog tired line and no f-------g pp time left for the second unit.

I like the first PP unit but it the same thing over and over again. I think it is predictable to defend against and then they are tired. Why not try the second line first for change or get the f------g first line off with a minute left so Hayes and company can try their luck. This part of the coaching annoys me.

Change it up PoMo. Don't let Wheeler and Scheif whine their way to eat up the entire 2 minute pp. And, btw, these guys whine at just about anything and everything. If so and so doesn't get an assist, believe it or not, these two are the phone themselves asking why so and so did not get an assist. Scheif just doesn't whine on the ice, he whines off the ice as well.

Just watch a guy like Burns , or Hedman, or Kingberg, or Karlsson, or Gustaffsson, etc, etc run a PP unit. Its a world of difference in how they circulate the puck and themselves . Trouba is a tree stump that doesn't move more than 10 ft from side to side. A easy guy to defend.

How about a scouting report on Stanley?

I will give it to you now, “a work in progress “

There will be later picks like Samberg (2017 draft) that likely will beat Stanley (2016 draft) to the show, imop.

Ok i’ll join in the player’s discussion. Wheeler and Shiefele have been two of worst forwards. Actually Laine was better with them than Connor ever has been but Pomo went back to Connor? Connor and Hayes seem
To be developing some chemistry so once again Pomo switches that up.
Myers nice run a while back is long gone and him and Kulikov would be an average AHL pair right now. No pair on the jets give up more goals, shots and chances while creating no offence.
Chairot is playing worse with buff than how he did with Niku but once again Pomo won’t play a kid even though Niku is clearly a better option over all our d not named Morrisey, Buff and Trouba.
And the pp scored the game before last.
Our fourth line has been our best line since Roslovic came back and Hendricks went to the presbox, but sadly if Tanev misses anytime who wants to bet Pomo puts brutal Hendricks back in over lindholm or should be appleton.

Okay great, is Samberg signed yet, or expected to sign?
Sounds like a good one.

If Tanev out - likely Lindholm - but Appleton looked pretty good earlier, lots of energy

Thanks for the feedback guys!

One thing that doesn't surprise me is that Maurice is a bad coach. His comments on Sports Center were atrocious.

He hasn’t signed yet, he is off to the Frozen 4. I think the Jets expect him to sign this summer I heard.

Jets scouting has done well in the Northern States.

Berdin cleared the puck out of his zone at least 5 times in the first period and tried to thread the needle on an outlet pass up the middle, lol. It could have had a different result but he got away with it. When he is clearing the puck off the glass, the puck is moving. It’s not a feeble clearing shot, the puck is going out at slapper speed.

Dano got 5 and ejected, hitting from behind. Bad call. He let up but bad call.

Condor shots 13, Moose 4. There is a first period recap.
