Why The NHL Shouldn't Place Ads On Jerseys

NHL will place ads on World Cup jerseys and monitor fan reactions - Puck  Drunk Love

Ugh!  If it ever get this bad, I think I'm done.  How distracting must that be?  Question is, if you do purchase a team jersey, do you get all that advertising too???

 

Heaven help us all!!

ANTON FORSBERG
G, WINNIPEG JETS

 

Winnipeg has claimed Anton Forsberg off waivers from Carolina. 


The Hurricanes claimed Forsberg off the waiver wire from Edmonton earlier this week.

 

He remained in Canada, but it is expected that he will still have to go through quarantine before reporting to the Jets. Winnipeg lost a goaltender earlier this week when Eric Comrie was claimed by New Jersey.

P25, anything in the Winnipeg media about Laine's trade situation other than his 2 goals in the opener?

It’s funny what a three-point night can do.

Jake not impressed.

I love it. Writers take shots at these guys all the time, some warranted some not.

 

In fact I am shocked it doesn't happen more often.

 

I have a quick temper so I can only imagine there would be many times I would be diving over the table trying to get my hands on some of these cats.

 

Bravo Jake give it so the weasel.

Tonight [Jan 16] in the Philadelphia Inquirer - 

 

Excerpt:

 

- - the Flyers were at their best in the third period of each of these first two games, grinding the Penguins down to dust, outscoring them 5-1, and maybe the most revealing and encouraging statistic through those two contests is this: No Flyers forward averaged more than 19 minutes of ice time per game. There’s no more asking Claude Giroux to push himself past 20, 21 minutes a night, no more third- and fourth-lines made up of marginal NHL players.

 

- - the Flyers were the fresher, stronger team late in that game, just as they were in their season-opening 6-3 victory Wednesday.

 

Flyes depth, depth, depth. Young legs, hard skating, conditioning. Forecheck, forecheck, forecheck. Catapult that 4th line on them!

 

This is a very, very, good team - - a CUP contender.

Maybe. I'd like to see a little more physical play, a little more grit, especially in the playoffs. Pissburgh pushed us around a bit, don't like it. The Isles did too in the summer.

Agree P25. In addition to moving-in Sam Morin for selected games, what would you recommend? We know grit/physical most shifts is different from retaliation/fights/intimidation which Morin brings, but it would be good to have both. The 4th line of Laughton/NAK/Raffl gives some grit/physical, but I agree with you - more is needed.

If you look and own the lineup, there are no players who fit this mold. I don't know that you can ask them to focus on that, when the result on the ice is what we just saw for 2 games. However, this is what happened last season, the team won a lot of games but didn't have to be physical. Then playoffs rolled around and they got knocked all over the ice. The coaches would have to instill the mental commitment to the being physical to get this group to be that

 

Option 2... personnel changes that allow a physical player to be brought in

Yes! Correct! Good work flyercanuck.

 

Wow, I thought the jersey # 68 would throw-off everyone.

 

But, you guys are toooo sharp - - flyercanuck, OccamsRazor, CoachX.

 

flyercanuck moves into a tie for the League lead in the standings with Podein25.

I picked Frost up in Conn Smythe. The kid is going to put some pucks in the net, and play well on that first line.

 

Here is the difficult part - - 

 

Assuming Frost plays well, perhaps great, during these 8 or more games, when Couturier returns what happens to Frost?

 

Frost has not played wing at any point in his hockey career at any level.

 

And, Frost does not qualify for AVs 4th line center position:

 

AV's 4th line profile/requirement is hard skating, hard forechecking, physical, pin the other team in their own end, fast/strong backchecking, defensive work, PK duty.

 

With 4 high quality Centers that are 'top 3 lines' centers, does that open up trade thinking?

 

Couturier, Hayes, and Patrick are not candidates to move to wing IMO. Especially don't move Patrick to wing - - must minimize his time at the 'wall' due to his head and migraine issues.

 

Or, is this topic way too early to discuss?

Hayes could move to wing, even though he isn't a prototypical wing....the others ...Patrick and Coots...I think you're right on about . Hayes moving to wing, is, of course, up to AV and Hayes.

 

Maybe now is the time to trade Patrick, and keep Frost up here. Uhoh, I just started HockeyForums war...duck!

Hayes isn't a winger. It's just not a plausible idea.  If Patrick is going to stay healthy, he creates such a mismatch on the third line. No valid reason to move him.  And if something happens that he's not healthy, that creates the spot for Frost.  Frost either will have to move to wing or wait.

Right now I would sit him.

 

Especially if they keep winning.

 

Maybe start getting him some reps in practice playing wing so he will be ready if it comes to that.

 

I mean that is what made Giroux so great is he can play center or wing.

 

So the more versatile you are the more valuable you are.

For game 3 and game 4 - 

 

 

The Sabres play against the Flyers on Monday and Tuesday. Coach Ralph Krueger said after the session that Reinhart's lower-body injury is "manageable." It's unclear if that means he will play on Monday. Reinhart also briefly left Friday's game against Washington.

I like the Flyer's chances...

 

 

Could we see Elliott for the second game?

 

Edit: Nevermind I didn't realize it was back to back games so I guess Elliott for the second game?
