Am I the only one that would like to see Lambert centering the second line?

If we are leading in the third period, bump him up, give him a shot...

I think the plan is to develop him into the 2C this team needs. But with how well the top 6 has played recently, why mess with that.

I'm just happy to see him get another shot. He's gotta make it count, though.

Yeah I'm hoping Lambert can go on a heater. I wasn't unhappy with the job Adam Lowry did as the 2C and I'm not sure how much longer he's going to be out. Yes that top six is performing beautifully. I'm sure Lambert and when he returns, Lowry, will find roles to fill. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well Namestnikov, Iafalo and Perfetti have performed also. Arneil has this team playing like a well-oiled machine!

Leave the second line the way it is. The return of a healthy VN7 has really helped CP91 get going.

Lambert is hopefully the future, but if we are messing with the top 6, it needs to be for someone proven right now.

Lambert is playing well tonight but has made a couple of mistakes that he won't get away with in the NHL. All part of the learning curve.

Two many breakdowns in the first period. Excellent second. Jets were flying and the building crazy loud. Third period was all Helle.

Take the win and thank HellB
Too much inconsistency but some beautiful goals

Pigskin · February 08, 2025, 05:35:57 PM

MS55 will be the replacement for Sid, if Sid can't play due to his injury.

He was on a mission to get that win.

Top line had a great night and made their chances count.

Time to rest up and get ready for that final push.

Hellebuyck is an amazing player who absolutely deserves to be in the Hart conversation. He has the talent and he comes prepared to play every game.

Lowry skating in regular jersey, Barron remains on IR but is skating: https://illegalcurve.com/winnipeg-jets-practice-report-497/

Jockitch · February 19, 2025, 08:37:07 PM

The Moose are certainly bad this year but I see that D-man Coghlan, has 5 G's and 3 ***'s in the past 4 games

That's very good news about Lowry
