Post-Game Talk: A tale of two teams

[rehf]

Too little too late.

If Jets don't win next game, series over.

 

[objectiveposter]

After that third period performance there is no doubt in my mind who the better team is. Only chance Vegas has of winning this series is if Fleury plays out of his mind with incredible athletic saves (something he is capable of doing unlike helle)

I expect the Jets to dominate next game since there will finally be a sense of urgency in their game.

Go jets go.

 

[KingBogo]

One thing is for sure, win or lose, the Jets simply cannot give Laine 10 million dollars this summer. He's a 7 million player. That much is obvious.

I really wish we had the player I think Laine will be in his mid 20's. But for now he still has a long way to go.

 

[Afterburner]

We have to put that kind of effort in from the start of the game, not at the end

 

[jefferoni]

It's simple... this is what happens when you are not ready at the start.

Or maybe VGK couldn't sustain their effort in the 1st?
Either way, f*** MAF!
Next game is ours.
And oh yeah, Fefe is a stud!!!

 

[Neuf]

Eat **** Jets, deserved the loss. First goal was absolutely embarrassing. Get back in it Helle gives it right back.
Helle can't make a big stop to save his life.

This game was every game last year. Give up a crappy goal, work for half the game to get it back, let in a beach ball.

That's actually probably why I'm upset after this game. It's exactly 2016/17.

 

[Steelers]

LOLOLOL they need their announcer to hype them up and thats most of the noise you hear. did u not hear the GO JETS GO chants in the 3rd period?

I heard go knights go the entire game... which does sound like go Jets go. But it was knights sorry brah

 

[Coach]

Good third by the boys. I can handle losing with an effort like we delivered in the 3rd.
We were able to win with average goaltending in round 2 as Rinne had his problems in much of the series.
Going to be tough to beat Fleury if Helly continues to be average and giving up some weak goals nightly.

 

[snowkiddin]

Disappointing game. If he play the rest of the series like we did the third period, then Vegas is done. They were holding on for dear life. Fleury won’t steal the series for them.

But that’s an enormous IF. They need to start better.

But I think our boys learned that if they play to their best Vegas is toast.

It’s not over till the fat lady sings, and she isn’t even on the stage yet.

Go Jets Go

 

[tntkid]

Laine has been a ghost out there in this series.

I am stunned at this.

One thing is for sure, win or lose, the Jets simply cannot give Laine 10 million dollars this summer. He's a 7 million player. That much is obvious.

 

[BigZ65]

Vegas literally haven't scored a goal in this series at even strength that wasn't a massive Jets blunder, through 3 games.

Brutal way to be down 2-1.

 

[kylbaz]

This game was every game last year. Give up a crappy goal, work for half the game to get it back, let in a beach ball.

That's actually probably why I'm upset after this game. It's exactly 2016/17.

Towards the end of the season and on Helle been giving up too many soft goals. I guess none of the goals were really soft but he certainly didn't help the situation at all.

 

[puck stoppa]

Wow those damn golden knights are tougher to beat than i thought. next game is a must win for the Jets. let's go boys!!!

When people called sweep after game one I called Jets in 7, I'm sticking to it. Get the next game, back in drivers seat. Great third, this will wake the boys up.

 

[None]

Who’s trolling. I’m a Jets fan. It’s 100% truth

Truthful hyperbole maybe? Vegas led the game for all but 12 seconds.

I doubt any arena in these playoffs has been as loud as BellMTS Place was for this goal:

 

[Evil Little]

Just a friendly reminder that the Jets were leading in corsi, fenwick, scoring chances, and high-danger scoring chances going into the third.

If they play an entire game like they did the third, no team can keep up with them, no matter how many two-cup goalies they have with a shit-tonne to prove.

Vegas crowd>Whiteout.... whoever is sitting inside needs to give up your ticket to the fans outside.

No. Wait until they get beat handily in their own rink.

Go.

 

[cbcwpg]

It just frustrating when you know that when they play their game...no one can touch them.

 

[AWSAA]

The Golden Knights f'n suck. The Jets were even suckier.

 

[Ducky10]

I'll say it: You need your goalie to step up and make a few saves. He was a big reason they lost.

12 seconds after tying the game he pisses it away, that's brutal. Changed the game, if they settle it down they can be more patient and open Vegas up.

 

[Whileee]

Fleury > Hellebuyck tonight.

Everyone ragging on Laine, but Wheeler gave away the puck trying to force it to Scheifele, and that was the end of possession. He made a few really bad low percentage plays on the PP too.

Jets looked shaky and immature. I'm pretty tired of Corsi monster Perreault. He needs to produce something, and stop playing selfishly with cheap penalties.

Enstrom was really weak, and Trouba with some awful plays. He looked dazed tonight.

If Ehlers was a healthy scratch, Maurice is idiotic. This ain't preseason.

 

[folix]

All this nonsense about Fleury stealing the game needs to stop. The degree to which he has golden horseshoes up his ass right now is insane. For example on that Scheifele chance, he had about 95% of the net to shoot at and shot it right at a desperate Fleury. On the "great save" on Byfuglien, Dustin just missed the toe drag that would have made him look foolish.

Fleury has always been a flukey tender, and I like watching the Pens, problem with him is when he is NOT lucky as hell. Sooner or later its going to cave in on him, because honestly we smashed them in the 3rd.

I REALLY do not want to hand the Caps or Tampa a cup by allowing these fools through to the final.

 

[KingBogo]

Laine has been a ghost out there in this series.

I am stunned at this.

Sadly I agree. I keep hoping he finds a bit of a spark, but he seems to be not quite ready for this stage. Not much different than Scheif in 2015 against the Ducks.

 

[roccerfeller]

Vegas has a horseshoe. That team can get handled yet they somehow get through. They're only 2 wins away now

 

[Halberdier]

Again 3 super weak goals against. Bad defensive effort twice by the first line and an unfortunate mistake by Helle.

You can't win with those. Last game the Jets allowed 3 weak goals, and this time they allowed 3 weak goals. If they continue like that, it's soon over.

 

[surixon]

I really wish we had the player I think Laine will be in his mid 20's. But for now he still has a long way to go.

He absolutely does, but so did Chef his first playoffs and now look at him. People are too impatient, we have a number of playoff rookies and its starting to show the longer these playoffs go on.

Having said that the vets need to start stepping up, I'm looking at Perrault and Little predominantly. We need some secondary scoring.

 

[Whileee]

Don't worry, he'll bounce back. Turnovers on the blue is what killed us.

Well that and turnovers behind our net by the goalie.
