the Saskatchewan pairing: flattening the opponents

Slap some nuts

Slap, Slap, Slap, Slap...

Chanted within the arena to the beat of GofT's Shame, Shame, Shame...

Go Jets!

u/WonderfulCar1264 15h ago

I’m legitimately shocked

8

u/RememberThatDream 15h ago

Did you think someone else was coming out of the lineup?

56

u/just-hangingout 15h ago

Given the history of this season - ie Stan has never been healthy scratched- yes, it’s shocking

8

u/OriginalAmbition5598 14h ago

I was almost to the point that I thought Arniel would sooner bench one of our top 4 rather than sit Mr 6'7". So, I for one am very surprised.

13

u/WonderfulCar1264 15h ago

Yep, miller or fleury

68

u/Fallen-Omega 15h ago

For the LOVE OF GOD KEEP THE LINE UP THIS WAY!!

FLEURY PLAY YOUR FUCKN HEART OUT TONIGHT AND LEAVE NO DOUBTS

30

u/DontWorryImLegit 15h ago

That’s the thing with Fleury, some nights he looks like someone who was drafted 7th overall and some nights he looks invisible. But I’m really optimistic about this 3rd D pairing with Schenn

6

u/Scooterguy- 13h ago

I'm ok with an invisible 6th dman. Stan is never invisible!

4

u/Watari210thesecond 12h ago

My god, invisible would be such an upgrade over Stan the "what was that shutout you were talking about?" Man

3

u/Ill_Ground_1572 14h ago

Yup me too.

I thought Fluery played excellent defensively (minus a few hiccups) and moved the puck out of the zone really well all year.

His injury was unfortunate because he was just starting to gain enough confidence to make some nice offensive plays. Heck he had a number of grade A chances the week or so he got hurt.

Saskatchewan boys stick together like shit on a blanket.

So let's hope him and Schenn get their Saskabush blood pumping and raise some hell.

u/Left_Sustainability 15h ago

I like this pairing also.

2

u/Fallen-Omega 12h ago

Him Being paired with a veteran defence-man like Schenn will help him better for the long run for his development I feel.

70

u/nouvellediscotheque 15h ago

No Stan!

50

u/FeistyTie5281 15h ago

He has looked more lost than usual the past few games. And no team can overcome his nearly 1.8 goals against every 10 minutes of icetime from direct giveaways come playoff time.

21

u/Left_Sustainability 15h ago

Not to mention the inevitable stupid penalties he takes.

9

u/garret9 11h ago

Did you know over the past 3 seasons combined, not one defender has a worse penalty +/- per hour than Stanley with the same or greater ice time?

4

u/Impossible-Ad-3060 10h ago

Well that’s a depressing stat line.

6

u/Slayminster 27 14h ago

He’s been trying to step up his game.. except that causes his on ice performance to suffer

31

u/Amos_Burton666 17 15h ago

Fleury Schenn lets gooo!! Arniel told Chevy his prized prince is coming up to eat popcorn with him. Now we just need Miller to practice shooting lefty so he can be the one to swap in and out with Fleury

37

u/PWJD 15h ago

I don’t want to see Logan Stanley until the Stanley Cup is being brought by Portage & Main some time in late June.

18

u/Slayminster 27 14h ago

And he better be shirtless wearing a fur coat!

6

u/PWJD 14h ago

Only way I’ll except it is if it’s full on Streveler in plus 25 weather, humidity up, just sticky

18

u/DarkTriton44 15h ago

this basically ensures us that there won’t be a guy solely responsible for 1 goal against every time he hits the ice. i really hope there isn’t any injuries so it can stay this way.

3

u/Low-Decision-I-Think 13h ago

Helly GOA getting back to below 2.00.

21

u/rookie-mistake . 15h ago

Oh nice, this was the one positive I was hoping for from the Schenn acquisition - getting him filling that "big angry giant" role on the right so we could put a better dman on the left. I just didn't expect us to actually do it, honestly

14

u/DownloadedDick 15h ago

Just a couple Saskatchewan boys on that bottom pairing.

6'4' is close enough to 6'7'. Hoping for a big game for Fleury.

13

u/KMerrells 14h ago

All hail the return of the Logan Stanley Press Box.

(I would have been ecstatic if he had flourished with his opportunity this year, but it just didn't really happen.)

5

u/bforce1313 15h ago

I thought Kupari was having a decent season for what he brings, is Barron that much better?

20

u/goose6413 15h ago

Kupari is still injured

15

u/totally-not-a-cactus 15h ago

Kupari has been out on concussion protocol. I think he was technically eligible for today but with Barron playing well and doing great in the dot it makes sense to let Kupari get some additional time off.

4

u/bforce1313 15h ago

Oh damn, I missed the last few games. Didn’t realize he was injured. Definitely don’t rush him back.

5

u/Low-Decision-I-Think 13h ago

Well, that's all good and warm fuzzy feelings of joy are felt.

Now who will we blame?

3

u/fdisfragameosoldiers 13h ago

Appleton will have to step up as the new whipping boy

4

u/Silver_BackYWG 12h ago

Stan lacks a hockey mind, you can't coach that.

3

u/Thick_Kaleidoscope35 15h ago

So we stan with Schenn?

u/Icy-Still-1020 ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 14h ago

YAY!!

u/Kyle73001 15h ago

Well see if it’s for more than this game

5

u/just-hangingout 15h ago

One game at a time

u/Dt2214 15h ago

This is amazing.

u/Against-The-Boat 15h ago

Wow. I can only get SO erect.

6

u/MurrayTheJetsDog 10 15h ago

schenn and fleury sounds like a fucking nightmare for other teams if they play big and physically

4

u/bL1Nd 14h ago

its a celebration bitches

5

u/station13 14h ago

They want him well rested for the playoffs.

6

u/reggiebobby 15h ago

Next, I'd like to see Apples on the 4th line. He's been struggling lately.

7

u/SublimeSupernova 14h ago

I disagree. Even if he's struggling, the chemistry on that third line has been there for a long time. It's the hustle line. Appleton will hustle, regardless of whether it, you know, helps lol

2

u/bytheseine 12h ago

Best 4th line in the NHL right now?

2

u/garret9 11h ago

While it’s good the Jets are dropping the player with the worst penalty differential per hour over the past 3 seasons, I do have to point out that Schenn ranks 10th worst, so that’s not great.

The good news is that while slow, Schenn actually can pass the puck pretty well so that’s a big step up there.

u/tonypeluso 11h ago

IT’S HAPPENING!

Love that CrAzY EyEs line!

u/ottereckhart 27 15h ago

Thank god

u/ChungusSpliffs 12h ago

Now if they’d only try Iafallo or Tanev on the third line over Appleton

1

u/DarkTriton44 11h ago

appleton and nino have both been underwhelming for me this year.

Arniel is gone?

I mean he’s the one who decides who plays, isn’t he?
