Post-Game Talk: #28 - 12/02/18 | jets @ RANGERS | 6:00 - MSG

[Kovalev27]

Who are the proven elite forwards drafted after him? Pettersson is already elite but was 2 picks before. None of the forwards you mentioned are close to that, including Andersson.

Those were your words not mine. I didn’t call any of them elite. You said he’d be better than the elite guys taken after him.

I only said there are plenty of guys that were taken after him that you would say yeah I see this kid in a couple years will be a player. They have legit talent.

 

[Lundy HOF]

I think Andersson has a really good shot, he just has to use it more.

I would agree with this. I also think he is pretty good along the boards and has historically been good at finding open areas around the net.

He is not a carry the puck and elite in the nuetral zone type of player. Doesn’t mean he can’t be a good piece.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Eww

Turcotte is like the second best player on that US team

Y’all will see

Boldy?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Boldy?

Zegras

 

[aufheben]

Meh, I see Lias make plenty of plays that Chytil can’t (or won’t), and vice versa. As they should. They were drafted a year ago. It could take years for either of them to fulfill even 1/2 their potential. Not 2019, 2020, years.

And just to be clear, to get where the Jets are now, they needed 7 top-10 picks. 10 years. If you think this process is going to be quick, or every pick agreeable, you’re going to have a really miserable time.

[Kovalev27]

I’m going to bed apologies I’m just extremely frustrated with that pick. It was too important to use it on a support player.

 

[Richard Banger]

Yeah, Conner, Laine, and Scheifele vs Shattenkirk, Zibs, and Vesey. Bold prediction.

Our shooters have nothing to do with hank being awful in shootouts.

Agreed

Imagine not knowing how to read statistics, or understand context.

It did have something to do with losing the shootout but sure, use this instance against three top offensive players to bang the Lundqvist sucks in the shootout drum. Whatever bakes your potato.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Boldy?

Boldy and Zegras are good but I think Turcotte is better.

His injury has caused him to fall off the hype train but leading into the draft you’ll see him shoot up the rankings again I would bet

Maybe, hes just never done anything for me.

 

[Richard Banger]

Imagine not knowing how to read statistics, or understand context.

Imagine being a blind homer to one certain player of your favorite team.

It took the thrashers\jets like 7 years to get to where they are today...figure either the wheeler trade or the byufegkin trade is when it started...then draft develop draft develop draft develop...and here we are.

Rangers are in year 2, at best, of this process.

He always does this. Plays lights out and then garbage in the shootout. This isn't the first nor the last time it happens.

Yeah basically since they made the move.

Their 1st round hit rate is incredible. Not only have they hit on pretty much every single one, but its like they always take the best player in the cluster of players available.

They haven't really done all that well outside of rd 1 and it hasn't mattered.

That may be but I'd be more annoyed blowing a 3-0 lead in the 3rd and wasting Lundqvist's performance than being mad he gave up two goals to Laine and Scheifele in the shootout on this particular occasion.

 

[E-Train]

I’m not gonna say another word about him in this thread I promise. Just extremely disappointed that we blew another top pick. Just famous for never drafting elite forwards and we just threw another one in the bucket.

Anyway moving on

You insinuate that they blew a chance at elite forwards by selecting Andersson, no?

 

[nevesis]

Imagine being a blind homer to one certain player of your favorite team.

How about just look at the facts?

2nd in most shootout shots faced, and still a save percentage that high.

To say he sucks in the shootout is just a stupid f***ing statement.

 

[Richard Banger]

I don't give 2 shits about wasting his performance. We needed the L not the half W. Could careless about his current legacy. I want a damn contending team. And we need to suck this year to help build that team.

Give me either a convincing win or a loss no in between shit.

Your being a @Webster right now with Hank. What are you going to do when he's gone? Get on Shestys jock?

Your chirp game is almost as bad as your grammar. Facts are fun aren’t they?
