[McIntyre] Dylan Samberg has a broken foot and is out indefinitely. #NHLJets coach Scott Arniel says he’ll head back to Winnipeg for further assessment. Just saw Samberg outside the room here in Nashville. He’s on crutches and in a walking boot. “A big hole,” Arniel tells me.

  1. I appreciate the straightforwardness at least but fuck this is really bad.

    I like Ville a lot, but he’s also a smaller, more offensively minded dman, so him and Pionk probably wouldn’t make a great pair, but on the other hand I also really don’t like the idea of Fleury or Stanley in the top 4. Fuck

  2. We’ve been pretty lucky thus far with injuries. Just another hurdle that the team can learn to overcome to better prepare down the road

  3. Salt in the wound moment here. Samberg has been amazing this season and is gonna be really hard to replace. Please god don’t give Stanley top 4 minutes.

  4. Well that fucking sucks but Ville if there was ever a time to step the fuck up, now would be the time you beautiful Finnish bastard. I must say a quarter way into the season and our first real injury major or minor has been pretty damn lucky so it was bound to happen eventually.

  5. Injuries happen. We only need a .500 record to make the playoffs. This is a great time to see what the d is made of. I’m happy Ville gets to play as I want to know if he’s a regular. If he his that’s huge, but if he isn’t, it’s time to move on. In Minne I’d put fleury with pionk and ville with miller. Try it out for the rest if the road trip. If it stinks we make a trade

  6. Really unfortunate for Samberg. I have been a fan of his and wanted to see him get Top 4…and he was playing well. This is an unfortunate injury- but the good news is the Jets have enough quality NHL D depth that they can make this work.

    The *weirdest* part about this now is they have an over-amount of Right Hand Shot defenseman. I would assume Fleury moves to Pair 2 (unless they’re feeling bold with Heinola jumping in Monday). I would expect we will finally get to see Coughlin in a game though at some point soon.

  7. Geez, it’s not the end of,the world. It’s the regular season and we’ve built a nice cushion. It’s a good opportunity for Heinola to show what he’s got over an extended duration of time. It’s not so bad to see him finally develop at the NHL level.

  8. Wishing Samberg a full recovery, he’s such a warrior out there.

    Depth will be tested, let’s see if the team can step up in his absence.

  9. Them to shine Ville. Show this team that they can trade Stanley for a 2089 7th round pick

  10. FUCK

    he’s looked so good this season, that really sucks. top 4 D is lowkey our greatest need already :/

  11. Heinola. Now is his chance to make his star shine. Samberg will be back. He’s a great D out there.

    Speedy recovery.
