Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

[Pigskin]

Toninato named Moose Captain.

Was hoping to wake up to a Jets' comeback but no such luck.

Another tough test tomorrow to cap off a busy - but mostly successful - November.

[Pigskin]

With the 2nd. line not producing any offence, LA was able to focus on shutting down our top unit. Helle was good again only letting in 3 goals. The boy's look tired.   

[Jockitch]

It certainly was a poor performance last night, cept HellB
Beat to the puck, beat up on the boards and on the score sheet

Think and absolutely suggest the Namestnikov experiment at center, on our supposed 2nd line, is over
He's played in all 23 games and truly hustles and offers great spirit and, guessing, leadership.
* However, of his 8 assists he only has recorded 2,  that's right,   just 2 at even strength
and he's very bad at taking faceoffs at a low 46.9%
Summary -- he's not able to gel with his wings and get them the puck smartly
He might get 19-20 goals this year but even strength assists - Ugh.
Meanwhile his winger Perfetti has a measly 1 goal at even strength in 23 games.  Big, Big slump
Love that he is staying healthy and has very good skills

Suggest that Arniel gets Kupari with Ehlers and Perfetti. Presently he is our best at the dot at 55.4%
Also, has 1 less game but 2 more shots then Names without playing on the PP and in far less ice time.
He's a powerful skater who competes in all areas. 
Please make the move coach or consider Vilardi on second line at C., and moving Appleton with Scheif and our Sniper, while Names can play with Lowry

With the 2nd. line not producing any offence... 

Struggling noticeably the last handful of games. That isn't a good sign, IMO.

Breaking up the 4th line seems like a bad idea. I also doubt Kupari could handle the duties of getting bumped into the top 6.

So, what do we do to improve our 2nd. line.

So, what do we do to improve our 2nd. line.

Probably a question I can't answer, though I think it's reasonable to assert that Kupari isn't the solution.

The second line was a concern heading into the season but that was forgotten with the production of Ehlers, Namestnikov, and Perfetti up until this recent cool-off. And with that said, it could simply be they're tired like the rest of the team after how heavy the last month has been.

[Pigskin]

CP91 has 6 points in the last 15 games, VN7 has 8 points. They haven't been productive for awhile. So, it was nice to see CP91 finally score.

NE27 injury, not good for this team.

A few breakdown in our D zone. and 15 out of 48 on faceoffs.

[Jockitch]

Well it was a reasonable game/effort by our guys but if Comrie hadn't kept it close, well it may have been uglier.

Felt Coghlan was decent and hooray for Fetts bulging the twine twice
Concern in the dot as our results have been poor these past series of games

Used past 10 games of which we won 4. SportsNet totals show we only outdrew our opponents in 2 of the 10 games
Long season but some things have changed, including Scheif now not taking any or bare minimum draws

[blue_gold_84]

A tough night - again. Every error the Jets made proved costly. Even a loser point would've been nice. It was great to see Perfetti pot a couple, though.

9-5 through their toughest month is impressive but losing Samberg and Ehlers is rough. And Scheifele seems to be playing through some kind of injury (shoulder?), which could explain his absence in the FO circle.

Should be interesting to see how Arniel and co. prepare for another good divisional test tomorrow.

[Jockitch]

Effort was maybe good enough but certainly gave up a lot of odd man rushes. Officiating really was questionable

Arniel had some juggling going on for a few consecutive games now we shall see whether he tries to start the next game with some new alignment

[Pigskin]

A 15000 KM road trip and now we are home for 1 game again. Crazy schedule.

Dec.3. Home to the Blues.

Dec.5. Away in Buffalo.

Dec.7. Away in Chicago.

Dec.8. Home to Blue Jackets.

Yes, we had some D breakdowns.

PP not very good lately.

PK was excellent.

Not going to win many games scoring 1 goal.

[theaardvark]

Thinking Ville gets back in over Stanley next game...  Stanley had some good plays, but thay long stick seems to get him in trouble...

Sure, he won't get better in the press box, and we need him in the top 6, maybe a "conditioning stint" with the Moose?

[Pigskin]

Once Samberg comes back, Stanley will back in the press box. Miller and Fleury both have out played him.
