A sucker punch is not what MS55 needed just returning from a concussion.

Quote from: Jesse on May 16, 2025, 06:57:16 PMTheir coach was all for the move too.

Just called it play off hockey like a sucker punch just a natural part of the game.

DeBoer's a bozo and a hypocrite, so it tracks.

Now they gotta get that monkey off their backs, employ the same strategy as last night, and get a win on the road.

That's not how it works.

And one more thing: Jamie Benn is garbage.

Winning one game is not a miracle, winning 3 in a row would be!!

And yes, Jamie Benn is a total douche.

Time to win one on the road. Helle will have to be outstanding. Team will be a key. Go Jets.

Cuz sucker-punching a defenseless player who's being held by a ref is about as low as it gets. DeBoers needs a tune-up for putting Benn on the ice in that situation. Total dick move.

NHL refs need a tune-up for gifting Dallas a power play due to the altercation and disgraceful performance by the Dallas captain.

George Parros needs a tune-up for giving Benn a fine of $5,000 and no suspension for cowardly sucker-punching a defenseless player. Scheifele could have been seriously injured after being attacked Todd Bertuzzi style.

Gary Bettman needs a tune-up for allowing this once-great league to descend into depravity before our very eyes.

Sad news about the passing of MS55 father this morning.

Pigskin · May 18, 2025, 03:28:18 AM

Very entertaining year of hockey. Boy's battled till the end. Tough ending.

Jockitch · May 18, 2025, 02:34:52 PM

Team hustled, hit and gave it their all.
Quite the season, full of great highlights but unfortunately without the happy ending we wanted

Condolences to Scheifle, his family and friends

Well, unfortunately, that's all she wrote. Great intense game, should have won the game on Appleton's open net chance, but thats the way it goes.

Pigskin · May 18, 2025, 05:50:16 PM

Very happy with Coach Arniel this season. Lots of ?? around him and the team to start the season. But, he really pulled this team together. Now, hopefully over the summer we fine a true 2nd. line (C).

J5V · May 18, 2025, 09:20:33 PM

The only word that comes to mind for what I'm feeling towards Mark Scheifele and the Jets is, cruel. My heart goes out to Mark for the loss of his father.

To get to the next level, this is the obvious need. We need a dominant centre man, period. MS55 was ok, but others were far far less than 50%, also need steady goal production from Line #2. Eihlers and Perfetti had their moments, can't recall even who the 3rd member of that line is, as he didn't get any G's for us.

Definite upgrades needed and still can't understand why we didn't do more at the trade deadline all things considered. Schenn and Tanev were disappointing under-performers.

Appleton a classic under-performer too. He couldn't have been set up any better by an absolutely perfect pass and could have buried one when we needed it most but shot it at the goalie rather that put it into a wide open 4x6. Good grief! A beer league player could have potted that one. He better not be a Jet next season or if he is it better be as a 5th liner.

I thought Schenn and Tanev brought a much needed physical presence on the ice.

In the off season, I'd be going for an upgrade at #2 centre, and bring in a youth, fast, mobile and PHYSICAL defenseman. We miss the Buff-Meyers-Trouba-Charot days when we had big mean defensemen out there. We have more finesse D now with Morrissey and Pionk, but we need a stud back there who can keep teams honest and pound them/make life difficult in front of our net when they have the puck.

I agree, Chevy could have done more at the trade deadline. Should have given up a our late 1st. round pick and one these prospects still playing for the Moose, for a second line (c) or big RW that can score. But, as far as Tanev and Schenn they booth played as advertised. Tanev is the Tasmanian devil and Schenn is a D-man that will pound players all night.
