Well we get MS55 back for our next game, he should help our PP.

The whole team mostly stunk last night and even when they had some solid chances, Gibson shut the door.

Just burn the tape and move on. Scheifele will be back on Saturday and that'll hopefully get the Jets on the right track in San Jose.

It's always a let down to come out flat on opening night.

I hope MS55 can help light a fire.

Yes, it's only the first game. D pairings have to figure things out. Helli will get in game shape. Moe will figure out his lines.

Pigskin · October 16, 2021, 03:30:32 PM

Well I am hoping for a better result tonight.

Solid 1st. period for the Jet's. PL80 should had 3 goals.

The Jets look tired the last 10 minutes of the 2nd. period.

PK and the PP both need work.

I realize a country will disagree but hockey is the crispy crunch of the sports world. After 2 months of NFL, CFL and CFB the Game of hockey just cannot compete. I actually chose baseball over some of the Jets game tonight.

I mostly agree with you.

I don't watch CFB unless there's a narrative that drives me towards it (Joe Burrow's National Championship run on the way to be the Bengals #1 pick), and definitely wouldn't watch random baseball over the Jets, but it is a busy sports season and the Jets at the beginning of their season (especially when they play poorly) are just less impactful.

PoMo has got to go I?ve seen this story far to many times. Guy is a used car salesman in the media and a crappy implementor of systems.

Jets and Bombers always come first. Sprinkle in all other sport around them. On of best things ever invented the remote control.

So, after two bad games who do you want to see take over as head coach? You consistently crap on the guy but never offer an alternative as to who will "better" this team.

Bottom line is the players on the ice have to actually execute whatever system's in place. We've seen them buy in before but they haven't really through two games this season. It's hard to fault just the coach when the majority of the players aren't doing what they're supposed to do.

Is it too early for the "Fire Maurice" thread?

OK, just checking... who is in charge of specials this year? Can we fire him already?

Oh, and Blake Wheeler into COVID protocol...

I really liked the energy and hustle that the line of 12/17/93 had late in the 3rd. on Saturday Night. 12 needs more then a few minutes a game. Wasn't really impressed with 81/55/26.

Dillon throwing some big hits was a plus and nice to see. Stanley's fight was something they need in the Ducks game. Can't let team push around our skill players.
