I am looking at our C position and we are right back to where we were before we trade for Monahan.

Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Keeping in mind how much success we had last year before the trade for Monahan.

Quote from: Jockitch on October 05, 2024, 07:36:22 PMVery much agree on the need to some how upgrade our 2C position.
Personally believe that Kupari and Lambert have the wheels for it. Perfetti has the smarts but I'm guessing NO. ..... will Arniel take the chance on one of these and get rid of the Namestnikov idea 


 ....... and for me a puck moving D-man who also uses his body with force

Kupari is probably the 4th centre or the guy getting bumped off the roster for Lambert. Don't think we want to see him as 2C.

I think it will depend on who is better in the face offs. Last season before we brought in Monahan we were bottom of the league. But, I would like to see Lambert take that spot. He has excellent speed and vision.

I don't know if I would expect Lambert to be good at face-offs. Seems like one of those things that's going to keep him out of the Jets line up more than one that'll get him on the 2nd line.

Good point. The ability to win face-offs is such a critical skill.
Go Bombers!

This team will have to be better in the face off circle.

Manahan 54.7 on 547 FO.
AL17 49.0 on 1390
MS55 48.1 on 1253.
DG19 54.6 on 194
MB36 46.3 on 134
CP91 37.6 on 101
VN7  36.3 on 477
NN62 45.6 on 31.

PP 18.75  PK 77.13 Both have to be better.

Players we need to get more out of. CP91: 38 points in 71 games. GV13 36 points in 47, needs to stay healthy.     
NN62 34 points in 72 games, MA22 36 points in 82 games.

Jets send Lambert and Chib, back to the Moose.

Shame about Lambert, but I'd rather he not get rushed. The Moose should be a solid team this season.

Not sure I'm feeling the same about the Jets, though.

We're essentially the exact same team as last year.

If they commit to the same defensive structure; we're a Wild Card team. If they're able to move their special teams out of the basement, there's potential to be even more.

I don't have any faith in our play-off results until I see otherwise, though.

Lambert on the ice getting top minutes with the moose is better than getting 4th line minutes or even press box with the big club.  He can work on becoming the #2C we need...

We need a faceoff coach, a specialist.  We need to be at least .500 in the circle.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

As #37 goes, so will this team. Seems like that's been the case for too long now.

Count me among those who feel pretty meh about this upcoming season.

I think we took a step back from last season. No 2nd. line C, no LB, didn't upgrade the D.

I'm excited for tonight although I'm not expecting us to be world beaters this season. Hoping we are in the playoff conversation and it gives me reason to watch nightly. To be fair, I said this last year and we had an incredible regular season, so who knows.

All I can do right now is hope we hammer Edmonton at home tonight. Long shot that will happen, but wouldn't that be a way to generate excitement..
