Post-Game Talk: 5 minutes of work doesn't equal a win, Jets lose in OT 2-1

[Buffdog]

They need to trade one of their defensemen for someone that can actually sit in the middle 6 and get up the ice.


The Jets have outplayed their opponents in all 9 games exactly 1.5 (the .5 is Arizona)/9. This is the worst that the Jets have been dominated in a single game in recent memory. There is no sugarcoating this or "escaping with a point". No, we're past that. This isn't a team that we know can be good, but had a bad night. This team has been beyond mediocre.

"We're not winning right!"

I'll take being outplayed and winning over dominating and losing

 

[LowLefty]

I don't get the decision to start with Lowry and Appleton, but you're afraid to give Perfetti any ice in OT? Like... did Scheifele really need to play the entire OT?

Lowry and Apples starting OT was a message (I hope) - they work hard. There wouldn't be an OT without the work from these guys - so yes, put them out there and make a statement.

 

[Scheifele55]

Scheifele appeared to blow his assignment on Eichel. Dubois should have been out there more

Playing (and winning) like we did tonight is not sustainable. Then, it just turns into being dominated AND losing.

Vegas is 8 and 2

Jets have a few days off to work on all aspects of their game except for Helle he can show up on Thursday for the game against the Habs

Lowry is also "the face off guy" and they won the game in Colorado when they started, so it's not simply a message.

Worst game I can remember seeing the team play in quite some time. The fact that they got a point is a miracle in and of itself, so I'm not going to bemoan OT choices or what have you, no need to get greedy.

They need to come out firing against some weaker opponents in the home stand here. At least 5 of 6 points. Otherwise their current record really doesn't mean much because it's not sustainable.

Teams have bad games.

Teams have other teams they don't match up well with

The whole point is to get points and make the playoffs. We did that this road trip

We clearly have work to do. We haven't even had our new coach behind the bench. Ehlers is hurt. There's a lot of room for improvement

What's going to be the excuse if we miss the playoffs?

 

[CorgisPer60]

5 3 1. 11 points. That's all that matters

How they got 11 points? Who cares

They have a better record than everyone thought they would

"We're not winning right!"

I'll take being outplayed and winning over dominating and losing

I'm well past the point of "Who cares how they win so long as they win?". We've been doing this 11 years at this point. I want them to look like they deserve to win. We've seen it for all of 2 seasons. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask.


*psst* The Jets still lost 4 games. The dominant teams have won their games against the Jets.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

There is a vast difference between the quality of the Knights vs the Jets.

But throwing Lowry and Appleton out in OT while Perfetti sits is simply embarrassing and bush league coaching.

Our fourth line looked real good again.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Worst game I can remember seeing the team play in quite some time.

It wasn’t much better for the first two periods in LA either.

 

[gojetsgo]

5 out of 6 points on 3 games in 4 nights, I'll take that any time no matter how it looks.... hopefully ehlers is back asap and maybe bones will be ready to go and we can get some adjustments(preferably zone exits)

 

[Weezeric]

Nice to see the posters that only show up after a loss. It’s been a while! Missed you guys!

 

[macmaroon]

The Prediction Contest for the game on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens is up and running with an updated leaderboard. Don't forget about joining in the fun and creating a GDT! There are plenty of games still available, and @Conflicted Habs fan will be posting one for the Montreal game. Thanks!

 

[Atoyot]

Gustafsson has been really impressive so far this season. Helle stole a point. That's all I've got.

 

[GaryPoppins]

While the result stinks given Helle’s effort, I still look to that blatant missed call on Barron that tied it up.

How this isn’t a black and white tripping call is beyond me.

5/6 is nice but man, the Jets were winning ugly this trip.

4th line was pretty good tonight if we're looking for positives that aren't Hellebuyck.

I think starting with Lowry was fine. Face offs are so important. But I do agree that Perfetti should have seen the ice in overtime. You want your smartest players out there.

 

[Gm0ney]

Just one point tonight, but still...

 

[bustamente]

Hey we have the same record as the first place Stars

4th line was pretty good tonight if we're looking for positives that aren't Hellebuyck.

Can't ask for anything more of a 4th line

 

[Atoyot]

Hey we have the same record as the first place Stars

And the THRIVING Florida Panthers.

 

[Mud Turtle]

4th line was pretty good tonight if we're looking for positives that aren't Hellebuyck.

I think the third line was excellent as well.
Both those two lines were being more aggressive with their forecheck and using their speed much better than the top two lines.

Are you delusional enough to look at our line up and think that we should be dominant? And how many teams are currently built in such a way that they should dominate game in and game out?

Learn to find some joy in little victories. Then again, some people aren't happy unless they aren't happy.
