Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

[blue_gold_84]

Jets can't find an answer against the lowly Ducks yet again, but I guess a loser point is better than nothing.

They gotta figure out what to do about the second line.

[Jesse]

How do we start 2-0 against the Ducks and lose?

That last goal we allowed to force OT was brutal.

[Pigskin]

Jonathon Toews working out and skating. Could this be a fix for our 2nd. line C position? Life time 57.3% faceoff win percentage. Plus 148. JT is a true 200 foot player. 

[Jockitch]

 According to Moneypuck.com, the Jets second line of Ehlers, Vladislav Namestnikov and Cole Perfetti has generated 2.14 expected goals per 60 minutes — that ranks 50th out of the 54 forward lines that have played at least 150 minutes together this season.

He was a 200 foot player.  He is now 36 hasn't played since the 2022-2023 season and was dealing with health issues prior to that.  Guess it wouldn't hurt to take a look (if we even can, not sure his contract status), but I wouldn't expect much.

I don't expect him to ever skate again.

Even if he does get a try out somewhere, if he represents an upgrade to our 2nd line at this point in his life, we are much worse off than I thought.

So, in a contract year when you are trying to sign a guy who wants minutes, demoting him to the 3rd line is the answer?

Maybe flipping Namestikov for Lowry, or even Gustafson might be a better option.  Fetts needs to get the minutes, so does Ehlers.

Ehlers has 12.79 TOI in the last 10 games.  I know he gets no PK time, and they've had some time in the box, but still.  That's less than anyone on the third line.

Or, maybe its time to put Fetts in the middle and put Nino on his other wing.  Or even Kupari, put speed together.

If you're going to blender the lines, make it so that Ehlers gets minute.

Just sayin...

[Jockitch]

The Wings shut down our top line and the rest was _______ .

[Pigskin]

Another slow start. PK not looking good without Apps, Fleury, and Samberg. PP had a number of good looks, need to finish. 4 goal post. CP91 needs a little puck luck.

Same old, same old.
Cheveldayoff and the  loser scouts.
Since 2019 the team has needed a second line. Center and a tough defenseman.
Chevy can not do it. Team is really awful. Fluke start. Now we are below 500 since the. Steak ended.

Zebinejad in New York, the kid in Utah, Kadrei in Calgary.

The fourth line is awful. Who's the guy with two empty net goals? Who's the guy from ? Sweden or Finland? What's that kids name that never comes off the boards, perfetti?  And what about that giant defenseman who does nothing. Plus the human turnover Boink.

The team is a few moves away, but Cheveldayoff doesn't bring any character guys in, and if he does, he can't sign them.

I gave up my 10 pack a couple years ago.  Now my friends and I don't even watch the I goal team
Outshot 20-8 every first period is rediculous.  If those thieves on the. Fourth line don't want to drive the net, body check, forcjeck and take their. Man in the defensive zone, why are they here. And it's been like that for six years.

This management , scouts and Chevy can't tell a character guy from a beer league guy.

Yeah, the team SUCKS this year.

Oh, wait...

[Pigskin]

NP4 is 6th on the team in scoring. He's not our problem on D. However if we could move him for a bigger shutdown D-man with some term left, like Ristolainen, I would.

CP91 has been disappointing. 23 points 7th on the team in scoring. 12 of those points have come on the PP. Time for him to step up or I would also be looking to move him for for a big RW or C. 

Love VN7, but he's no 2nd. line C. Jets need to improve that position. VN7 would look good at 4th line C. 

Getting back Samberg, and Fleury will help our D play, and PK.

 

 

[Jockitch]

Bad news for Miller. Out a couple weeks with fractured larynx

I am definitely in Pigskin camp to bring in Ristolainen and if Pionk goes the other way, so be it.

[Jesse]

Yeah, the team SUCKS this year.

Oh, wait...

Not really the burn you think it is unless they can do something in the play-offs.

[dd]

Jets got their 2 minutes in the spotlight with their wicked start to the sesason, now fading to black....
