Miller close to returning, skated in regular jersey yesterday at practice.

Quote from: Pigskin on January 15, 2025, 06:08:26 PMStanley gives away the puck far to often, and he's very slow. He should have received an assist on there goal.

Totally agree. He's a turnover machine, costs us goal after goal and is a sloth out there. Not sure why he's in our lineup. Sure he's got size, but he's brutal.

Torinato had a VG game against the Ava's.

VN7 could be out longer then expected.

Never been a Perfetti fan, plays too soft and is invisible out there. 4 points in 20 games, yikes, we can't do better than this??

Every player can't be an allstar. Every one is going to have his pluses and minuses.

Perfetti has the vision, the awareness. Things that can't be taught. He's growing into his frame, and learning the skills at NHL game speed that will take him to the next level if he can conquer them.

There's no doubt he has the potential to be very, very good. He just needs the time and coaching to get there.

I'm not worried about his future.

2-1 win over the Kraken was a bit of a sleeper. 3-1 loss to the Flames, Wolf was outstanding. Jets have to make a move for a 2nd. line (C). Love AL17, but he is not a a 2nd. line C.

Jockitch · January 20, 2025, 05:48:00 PM

Yes it was unfortunate to lose due to a sensational performance by the Flames tender.
The 2nd line center issue is definitely, IMHO, still there.
We all appreciate Lowry but his skills won't elevate that line

What's Monahan's mindset right now? He went to Columbus before the tragedy, might he want to come back? Can we make a trade for him? Is Columbus looking to retool a bit now?

Hard pass. That contract is too long and he has a NMC in place right now.

This team does need to bolster its second line, though. Perfetti clearly isn't the answer at 2C.

I think CP91 is something like 6 points in the last 22 games. I move him in a heartbeat. Throw in Stanley, and Ville.

Heinola? Disagree. He's worth keeping.

Samberg had a tough night. To many giveaways. Hope AL17 is okay.

Whole team had a rough night looking at the stats sheet. Glad I missed it. Arniel sure wasn't pleased by the embarrassing effort.

Still no update on Lowry, which is a bit concerning. I hope Chevy's got some irons in the fire as we near the mid-winter lull.

Another tough match tomorrow in Denver.

Jockitch · January 21, 2025, 04:14:16 PM

Samberg, Conner, Pionk, Morrissey, etc., etc., etc.. Pew

Pigskin · January 21, 2025, 06:05:32 PM

Connor hasn't played well since he scored the hat trick. $th. line was our best line all night. CP91 looks like he is cruising around just putting in time.

Didn't see AL17 get injured. Could it be a illness?

Agree. Heinola is only going to get better with more playing time. I really like his game.
