Except it was as the knights stick clearly caused Barron to fall. I mean really... you call a couple weak ones on us but let Vegas get away with everything. It's a bit much.

Whiteout Is Coming.
Jets are tied for first place in the division and people are complaining?
Playing 3 games in 4 nights and taking 5 of 6 points is a bad thing ... right?
I can see the Leaf fans complaining about the Leafs losing to all 3 California bottom feeder teams playing 3 games in 4 nights because they are Stanley Cup contenders but what's the excuse for some of these Jet fans on the boards.

I can't agree more. Points in all 3 games. The Jets looked like the team playing their 3rd in 4 nights on the road, against a good team. The knights aren't a shit team. I'm good with it. Now if this is what it looks like with two days rest playing at home against Seattle I might feel differently.
My concern is that this game will be seen as a win by Arneil and the coach`s. There can be little doubt that the strategy going in was to slow down and simplify the game, in hopes of keeping it a low event, low score game . Everything was chip and dump, but without the aggressive pursuit and forecheck, and much more a fall back and defend mentality.And Vegas was able to take full advantage.I hope it is clear to the coach`s that we were literally taken apart playing this style hockey, and that we stole a point only because of a superb, somewhat lucky, performance by Helle.
This is not a recipe for sustained success.

I very much agree, I thought our coaches got it wrong tonight from the get go. The template to beat Vegas is to play with speed and quickness. They excel when teams try to slow things down against them.

I can't imagine the players feel like this was a successful game plan regardless of what the coaches might suggest. They know they were outplayed better than anyone. A coach that wants them playing how they did tonight against Vegas isn't going to last long behind the bench because the players will push back.
Hmm not made but worried, concerned and shocked they got any points. This is unsustainable .

Wish we could trade Wheeler and get someone else who is worth $8m a season or if the NHL had a salary restructure so we could restructure Wheelers contract to get some of that money back to use.

Arniel said he liked the 3rd and 4th lines tonight and said the top guys need to learn to play a simpler game. He's right... the bad habits are still there in the top 6...
Gonna take time and maybe moving a player to change it. Some of these top 6 guys seem stuck in playing a certain way instead of doing what the bottom 6 guys are doing. Bottom 6 is outworking the top 6. Plus d men turning pucks over consistently don't help. Pionk is a disaster paired with Morrissey. Dubois looks like he's back to being the guy who showed up after the Columbus trade and not last years version. Wheels looks like he struggles to keep up. KC looks like he's trying to do to much. Appleton I like his hustle but he's not a top 6 guy.
Get ehlers back and grab another top 6 forward via trade. If things go bad u move Wheeler if u can and Dubois If he don't wanna be here asap b4 his value is completely tanked

Lol at ppl saying these are the games you almost don't want to win. Spoken like ppl who have never played sports of any kind. These points here are the difference between making the playoffs and not making it.
Wonder if Schmidt Morrissey should be a thing cuz pionk seems to not be the answer

If the Jets are tied for first in the Central it's because of Vezina like goaltending.
I expect some changes when Ehlers comes back in, who goes out though?
I am curious why the d pairings were changed for the 2nd and then went back to the original ones for the 3rd.
Well that's the last trip to Vegas for the year, hopefully there are some improved efforts on the home stand.

At the end of the 2nd the Jets had been outshot 33 - 8. There is no sugarcoating that.
I would for once like to hear what a coach means by playing a simpler game. I don't feel like the top 6 tried to do anything that fancy tonight. They did what the coach wanted and chipped it out and chipped it in and went in on the forecheck. If the game plan is to chip and chase and disrupt all year then yeah you are better off moving our skilled guys out because that type of game isn't in their DNA.
I don't mind wanting everyone to work but smart coaching realizes that you can't just put a cookie cutter approach on an entire team.

Yeah, I think I can buy the PP needing to simplify things to get more out of it even if we only had 1 opportunity there, but even strength that game seemed about as barebones as you can get. I didn't see a team trying to force passes East-West all game, that was all North-South chip and chase hockey.
I think they've already started pulling back on the the defensemen pinching further than the top of the circles since the Toronto game so we're probably not going to get much offense from there.

I disagree, you cannot rely on your goaltender to stand on his head every single night.
