Greetings from Newark. Interesting beginning to #NHLJets practice. Only a small group of players on ice to start. And head coach Rick Bowness pulled aside Nikolaj Ehlers, Nate Schmidt and then Mark Scheifele for one-on-one chats. #wfp

#NHLJets starting with PP work.

First group is Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, Cole Perfetti, Josh Morrissey and Nate Schmidt.

Second group is Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kevin Stenlund and Neal Pionk.

So Dubois, Connor flip with Schmidt, Perfetti.

#wfp

Full #NHLJets team now on the ice here in New Jersey for practice.

David Gustafsson still in non-contact red.

There’s a real emphasis on movement/rotation/activation and shooting on the #NHLJets power play work here. Interesting they running through the drill uncontested. Just five-man units zipping pick around. No goalie in net either. Coach Marty Johnston overseeing it.

Meanwhile, all the non power play guys are working at the other end of the ice with Connor Hellebuyck and David Rittich.

New #NHLJets lines here in Jersey. This is rush order:

Connor- Dubois- Maenalanen
Perfetti- Scheifele- Appleton
Ehlers- Lowry - Wheeler
Barron - Stenlund - Kuhlman
Gagner, Gustafsson (non contact)

Morrissey - DeMelo
Dillon - Pionk
Schmidt - Samberg
Stanley-Capobianco

#wfp

This is a most interesting and newsworthy #NHLJets practice here in New Jersey. Both power play units, all four lines and two of three defence pairs have changed. That 3-1 loss in Columbus clearly left a mark!

#NHLJets coach Rick Bowness is as vocal and demonstrative as I’ve seen him all year here in New Jersey. Yelling himself hoarse as they run through a drill here. “LETS GO”. “SKATE,” “ON THE D,” “THERE WE GO,” etc. complete with lots of stick banging on ice and boards. #wfp

@WinnipegNews

Stretching it out after a lengthy, newsworthy practice. Full #NHLJets coverage from on the scene here in New Jersey coming up in @WinnipegNews.

11 points for the three members of the #NHLJets top line tonight.

Ehlers 2G 2A
Vilardi 1G 3A
Scheifele 2G 1A

Just spoke to all three in the Winnipeg dressing room here in Los Angeles. Some very interesting comments. Especially from Vilardi.

Tonight meant a ton to him.

#NHLJets Gabe Vilardi on what tonight meant, with a career-high 4 points in 1st visit to LA since trade

"Obviously you saw it out there. I was here and now I’m gone. I was drafted here, my time here playing here was amazing but at the end of the day, they didn’t want me."

#NHLJets Gabe Vilardi said his anger over the Kings trading him, and ex-teammate Blake Lizotte injuring him, will linger.
"I said what I felt. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I said my opinion I thought it was a dumb play by him and I was out almost 2 months because of it."

Fascinating exchange with #NHLJets coach Rick Bowness down here at Madison Square Garden about player compete level, accountability.

Here it is, in the following thread.

Bowness: "I've got to do a better job getting these guys working harder for 60 minutes."

1/?

Me: Fair enough, but how do you as a coach make players to work harder? Shouldn't that be on them?

Bowness: "Well I'm going to have to start sitting some guys. I'll have to do that. And then it's their fault. It's not the coach picking on them."

2/?

Bowness, continuing: "We talked about that this morning. If you're not going to do what we need you to do as hard as we need you to do it, then it's your decision. And if we have to start taking some ice time away then that's the only thing we have."

3/?
