Rick Bowness is really beginning to grow on me. I am liking his coaching, especially playing four lines. I think if the Jets continue to play this way that they go all-in and make some major moves to go for the cup!

My only real concern is “Big Save” Dave. If we get that back-up position secured I think we will be good!

Looks like the quote feature is not working but Ultimate said:

I totally agree with this statement and I was thinking about this already a few games ago but I agree Big Save Dave will not be cutting the mustard and mgmt should be looking for an upgrade on a back up.

I also agree that the players are starting to drink Bones' system koolaid and I like what I see so far.

You can really see the Bowness system starting to really work last night against the Stars. The Jets played it to near perfection and I'd rate this last game as their most solid performance of the year.

In particular, I really likes Schief's game last night. He made some superb plays and had some really solid defensive efforts. Lots of good things to say about the 4th line and PK as well.

On the Stars side, the only bright light was Jason Robertson. This guy deserves all the praise that is heaped on him. Lightning-quick reflexes, superb anticipation, and awesome defensive skills. You are never safe if Robertson is anywhere near the puck.

If I could nit-pick out one negative on the Jets side it would be Wheeler. He has definitely lost a stride, he turns over the puck a lot, and his usually crisp passing and vision just aren't quite there anymore. I'm just not sure he deserves to be on the second line anymore once Ehlers is back in the lineup. While Ehlers will likely be on the top line I would like to see what Gagne or Fjallby could do in Wheelers spot.
