Thread: Need Buff back
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>Truer words have never been spoken.
Watching the 3rd period last night it was painfully obvious the jets need another dman or 2 to get the puck up to the forwards. Buf is that guy and so is Morrisey. Poolman and Pionk have looked good really good at times, Niku should be up playing with the team soon. But Bitetto, Dahlstrom and Kulikov need to be options for when guys are hurt, not playing every day. Kulikov is a good 3rd pairing guy, but not at 4.3 million.
Buf needs to figure this **** out so the jets can either add him to the lineup or spend that cash. This needs to happen soon because the jets are gonna play some tough teams that will dismantle this d core</div></div>

What I saw last night was a severe lack of effort/determination and ineffective special teams.
I know the defense is a challenged group right now but that's still no excuse for what went down last night, better systems and some simple damn effort would surely of helped prevent some of the Coyotes goals last night. I mean I can't blame just Bitetto for being bad when the Morrissey/Poolman pair have been a disaster, I can't blame Kulikov for not being more aggressive on the PK when that appears to be how the entire PK operates, I can't hang much on Dahlstrom when he's been on the ice for few goals against.

That late first period goal by the Coyotes was Scheiffele getting out hustled to a puck by a much smaller player and Connor not busting his ass to cover Ekman-Larsson, if either of those two tried harder or the Jets didn't play this silly system where the wingers collapse back in the D zone leaving the opposition wide open maybe that goal doesn't happen.

I truly believe that they shouldn't make any moves for any defensemen until they change their systems but I don't see that happening until there's some turnover in the coaching staff.

Thread: Defensive personnel decisions have been baffling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>Lowry is one of the better shut down players in the league, especially at his price. He doesn't have the deep defense supporting him as he did in previous years and it shows. I don't think it's fair to point the finger at him in that aspect, the Jets bottom 6 is not the same since Armia and Tanev left. Roslovic is a top 6 talent and while he may not be showing it yet, being stuck in the bottom 6 doesn't help. Some of the guys in that bottom 6 aren't buying into their roles and it affects others.</div></div>

Geez the guy is good at playing a big man's game, big deal! He's a good 4C like I said but that's as far as it goes with Lowry. Armia is a great middle 6 winger and is definitely missed but Tanev was terrible, good riddance! I'm not pointing any fingers at Lowry, he is what he's always been from the day he entered the league, a good 4C.

Roslovic has been pretty good so far this season and its cause his wingers have offensive instincts like he does which was my point of why they've been doing decently so far, the bottom 6 is made up of an offensive line of Perreault-Roslovic-Appleton and a checking like of Bourque-Lowry-Letestu. I know Lowry's wingers suck right now but Bourque and Letestu play a similar game that Lowry does, of those 6 players that's the best way to make the lines.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheCelt</b></div><div>Different people, make different people go.. Case in point, Patrik Laine. You seem to have a selective memory. Armia was good, but he was a good middle 6 winger.

Not sure what Laine has to do with anything.
Yes I know Armia is a good middle 6 winger, might be the best 3rd line RW in the league.
