". Now, I believe, these nights are the last ones for Jurco in winged jersey. Anyway, don´t forget he´s Slovak and great buddy of Tatar. To have bigger picture. Yea no wonder the morale / chemistry is so low when s*** like that is going on. Sounds like Blash is bi-polar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juklitz 85 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 I don´t want to defend him, but actually I believe he really do understand youngsters development path. In the other hand, he´s obviously struggling with executing his own plan and strategy and/or space he needs for this plan. What´s given by gm in this team. Well, his north-2-south roster moves, Mantha, AA, this is obviously working, since AA returned from bottom, he´s playing his season top, I mean, also trying to work something in his d-zone and I do expect Mantha to spend like 2-3 games in bottom to get back. But it means he has 2 roster spots to play his own ´making a development´ game with??!?!? I believe he has to follow some kind of template, like ´one top + one bottom guy is what you can play with, the rest is by default´ or what, is maybe just a fanta sea.

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 Jurco played a very solid game, good defensively (despite his -2 rating), hard on the forecheck, but alas, he didn't put up any points. And because of this, he will be scratched as soon as Vanek or Larkin come back, despite looking better out there than a handful of other forwards. Because Blashill is a f***ing moron... 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted January 25, 2017 good luck wherever it's nice that people who are unhappy start to speak out. Soon a lot of young people will be in this locker room so you can't welcome them in a poisoned enviroment.If someone offers a 3rd round pick you take that and run 1 Juklitz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 via St. James. Blash on Jurco: Quote “If I were in Jurco’s shoes, I’d love to have 20 games,” Blashill said today. “I get that 100%. I think Jurcs is a good NHL player — that is one of the reasons why my advice has been to be real reticent about giving up on him. I think he’s got lots of ability. He’s a guy who can be a top-three-line player in the NHL. “I’ve, obviously, chosen other wingers ahead of him in the lineup, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have lots of belief in him.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blash on Jurco: “I’ve, obviously, chosen other wingers ahead of him in the lineup, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have lots of belief in him.” "It just means I value defense over offense, and grit over skill..." Let me guess, this is a preemptive for when Jurco is the healthy scratch next game. If you think he has the skill (you're absolutely right), then give the kid an opportunity to prove himself. It doesn't even need to be 20 games, just give him 10 straight and see what he does with that... Scratch Sheahan for a couple games instead, maybe he will get his head on straight after being abysmal through 47 games... 3 e_prime, Hockeymom1960 and kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
