We've all had friends with that look...Like going out on a date and a few days later you are visiting the doctor's office.

smothering forechecking by Bruins and cause giveaways by our D-men
Whenever the Jets tried a D to D pass the Bruins F2 was pressuring
Need to have a Jets fore ward move back to our blue line to help out when we had possession

For me , it's like aftermath of the 2nd date , when the first date was better than expected and 2nd date was more restrictive and now there's muted excitement about a possibility of a 3rd date
It takes longer than a few days for symptoms to appear. Of course, you could also be hinting at injuries sustained on the field of play.Like going out on a date and a few days later you are visiting the doctor's office.
A couple of months is a pretty long flash, no?
That sounds like the dreaded awaiting the Leafs on national TV game sort of muted excitement.
Wouldn't that depend on how the 1st date went?
I've gone on some 1st dates that I didn't want to end, if you know what I mean.

Starting LB is a good call for the Jets, I'll be more than surprised if both Scheifele and Vilardi are in the lineup tomorrow.

Like because you knew there would be repercussions when you finally gave her car keys back?

Well, this discussion has certainly taken a dark turn.
You don't go 30-11-4 as a flash in the pan or luck, we just need to get healthy again. Helly isn't having to stop 40 shots a game and stand on his head for us to get wins either. Once healthy we will be alright.

It's funny because in my youth I was known for saying creepy things often.
I guess I'm going soft in my old age.

Lots of players struggled, even the usually super solid Demelo looked pretty bad.
Pressure was for sure part of it but there was also lots of self inflicted wounds.
A bounce here or there and we could have won.
For me the big difference from our really dominant stretch is that the bottom 6 and depth D scoring has dried up recently. The confidence that anyone was going to put the puck in the net was palpable and now it seems like we aren't getting that boost. Which puts you back to the ebbs and flows of your top lines and special teams. Since our special teams is a no go to this point in the season that leaves us vulnerable if we can't hold teams to 2 goals. Thankfully we've been great at that.
Getting healthy would be nice, reuniting Lowry with his 3rd line would be good, getting Ehlers and Perfetti more ice time and getting that balanced scoring going again.
We've been so spoiled with great play and in the recent stretch where our play dipped but we were still mainly getting the results. Hopefully we can get back to the top version of our team on a more regular basis.
I don't want to rush Scheifele but you have to think he'd want to play in TO as he usually has a lot of family in attendance.
I wish we could have run into the Leafs when we were on our hot streak. Here's to using them as a launching point to a new hot streak.

Now is the time to have some struggles tho and then snap out of it. I mean the cup is handed out in June not January. Oilers in on a nice streak but all streaks end. Being on a roll in January means nothing in June.
