I make ice cream and tweet about mostly Jets hockey and sometimes nerdy things and theme parks

Sucks Toffoli is out, but I've really wanted to see this configuration of Connor-Monahan-Perfetti pretty much since Monahan was acquired. Hopefully it is actually given a chance & lasts more than a couple of shifts before Perfetti is replaced by Iafallo.

Even if they wind up winning 6 statement still stands. They have easily fixed fundamental issue that they often win in spite of not because of.

Honestly, despite their 'success,' it's much more painful to watch the Jets than it ever was the Thrashers (despite them almost always being bad). The Jets issues have been blatantly obvious for years, but there has been an abject refusal by the org to acknowledge & fix them

Mike Grier is the worst GM in the NHL, bar none.

How do you retain on Tomas Hertl at 8.14M to get him down to 6.75M for VEGAS for the next SIX YRS after this one??? For just 2 1sts + you send 2 3rds back!?!?

By far the most asinine retention in NHL history. He should be fired.

Buch was always my #1 move, but ever sense NJ started struggling this year, I kept saying toffoli would be a great fit & a chef type of player. This move rocks!

Not to mention that he is 2nd on the team in PP goals and tied for the team lead in PP points, despite mostly playing on a 2nd PP unit that doesn't get much ice time

Great thread, especially for someone like me who doesn't know a ton about Winnipeg & Chipman outside of the Jets

In 166 minutes at even strength, Ehlers-Scheifele-Vilardi scored 15 goals. Since the last time they were together, the whole Jets team have scored 15 goals in 640 minutes.

Someone needs to ask Bowness wtf he's doing with some of his line decisions because who he demotes AND who he promotes goes against any and all evidence of rational thought.

Another way to ask Bones about splitting 55 & 81 right here is contextualized with actual stats about just how bad the Jets have been with goal scoring
