Huddy will not be gone. He’s got the best job in the NHL, 100% job security. It boggles my mind that when head coaching opportunities open up in the NHL that Huddy is rarely mentioned as a candidate for any other position, this despite him being with the franchise for that last 10 years. The penalty kill has been atrocious in 9 of his 10 years coaching it. The Jets have finished in the bottom half of the league as well in high danger shots against for the same period, even when we had Trouba, Byfuglien, Myers, Chariot and Enstrom playing on the backend. Unfortunately Huddy will only go when Huddy decides its his time to go.

I'm more than ready to see Huddy fired. I've never really been a big fan of the Jets defensive system the last few years. In particular, the defensive coverage lacks pressure on the high points, and teams exploit that flaw constantly leading to way to many deflection type goals.

Talk about a shooting gallery. The Stastny line has been good. Scheifeles line has been gross.

2 goals by Chaisson is ridiculous too.

I am over Laine. I am just hoping that Dubois gets healthy soon. I am so excited to see what he can do once he starts clicking with some wingers here.

I am hoping that Appleton ends up on Dubois wing. This guy is proving to be quite the offensive weapon!

Appleton is playing well, but I’d like to see Vesalainen get more work instead.

I am happy that Connor and Ehlers played together tonight. Always thought them to together could be something amazing. I am seeing a Kariya-Selanne combination developing between them two. Ehlers for sure will score 50 over a typical 82 game schedule. The man is just ridiculous.

Enjoy him, while he is the line-up. Maurice will most likely pull him to keep Lewis in the line-up and also to make room for Nate Thompson, because that is just what Maurice does.

I'll hope for some kind of divine intervention that prevents this ^

Just depressing because I would rather watch Ves and Harkins over Thompson and Lewis.

And Gustafsson, how long are we going to let a young developing player that should be playing sit on the taxi squad?

Vesalainen is still waiver exempt, if they feel they must have Thompson in the lineup I sure hope they send Vesa and Gus to the Moose to play a lot of minutes, terrible to have them not playing at this point, can call up Dano if he's healthy to be the 13th/14th forward or be a taxi squad forward along with Toninato.

When Dubois comes back and if no other injuries happen is Harkins going to be the odd man out??

Copp-Scheifele-Wheeler/Connor-Stastny-Ehlers
Dubois-Lowry-Appleton/MP-Thompson-Lewis

Will be pretty bad if Harkins is on the sidelines but I won't be surprised if that's what happens unfortunately.

This especially with how Roslovic is playing in CBJ. He’s their number 1 center now. And, to think Maurice, would have most likely had him playing third line right wing this year if he stayed in Winnipeg.

Roslovic is producing points, as should any player getting top minutes.
Last time I checked, he was 33% on faceoffs. Maybe that's why he wasn't a center here.

What was Wheeler’s face off percentage last year when he was converted to center after Scheifele got hurt?

Roslovic wasn't a center cause Maurice decided he wasn't going to be a center, if faceoff win % is the sole way we measure if a player should be a center or not then Scheifele should've been moved to the wing years ago.

Last year Wheeler was 49.8% . Pretty decent for a guy who wasn't asking to be a center (unlike Roslovic).

and maybe Maurice knows more than we do.
Roslovic is a center now because CBJ has crap for centers and decent right wings.
Wait and see.........

PLD is a career 44% faceoff center should the Jets move him to wing then?
