Jets audio:
Illegal Curve: Coach Maurice scrum. On why they sent Lowry to the Moose. Will they add anyone for the Rangers game? Could Lowry play three games in three days? Is this a long term move? What has he seen in his game? Can he see why his game hasn’t met expectations this year? Lack of effort? What makes Ladd a good captain? Does he like the mix he has of veterans and youth? Has Hellebuyck been as good in his last three as he was in his first three? Is this a 1 and 1A platoon situation? Is this team missing Ondrej Pavelec’s presence? Is this team in desperation mode? How quickly does the window close on the playoffs? How long does this team have to “get it right”? Does he need more from his top forward line? Getting Scheifele/Stafford more power play time.
