Post-Game Talk: Brutal, Jets lose 3-1

[surixon]

Well they are done. Time to get the kids in and see what they can do.

I guess my few positives for the year:

-Conner took a step into the star winger category
-JoMo rebounded back into a good two-way top pairing dmen. Love the new offensive confidence he has, we will need that next year. Hopefully he is rewarded with more points.
-Dubois rebounds into a good and physical play driving C that seems to bring out the best in whoever is played with him.
-Comrie emerges as a good back up goalie

Its going to be a long last 11 games if Pefetti isn't available the rest of the year and if we refuse to bring up and play some of our kids.

There needs to be some hard decisions made this summer. This year shouldn't be acceptable to anyone in the front office.

Rebuild around Dubios Connor and Ehlers. Everyone else can eventually shape up or ship out.
Perfetti looks like he will be a player, maybe Chaz too

Gotta sign Dubois first.

Hope he wants to.

The Wings played last night and flew 3.5 hours to Winnipeg last night.

If not for Hellebuyck, they would have had more goals.

Our Power Play gives up a short handed goal and the same unit is put right back out on the ice.

There is no accountability on this team.

Winnipeg Jets teams of the past won championships wearing those jerseys.

We embarrassed them and we embarrassed ourselves.

I picked the Wings +170 at the end of the 2nd, after double checking that it wasn't actually DET -170 (the way they were playing), and I'm not ashamed to say I applauded that Detroit ENG more than anything else the team has given me in a week.

My loyalty was for sale for 40 lousy dollars.

Is TNSE making any money?

its not just a coaching problem....where is all the talent on this team that the jets are supposedly have on nites like this!!???....are there really any untouchables on this team

 

[bustamente]

Jets will continue to ice the same lineup and have Helle play 10 out of the 11 games left

 

[raideralex99]

What a poorly coached team.
All Stanley has to do his finish his check and the GWG does not happen. … instead he uses his stick and there’s 3 guys standing in front of Hellebuyck banging in a rebound.
Jets make every goalie look great because nobody stands in front of the net screening the goalie.

It continues to amaze me the disconnect where management seems to value hockey IQ so highly in players and then they employ coaches that are so system driven that it actively works against that very trait. If you're going draft high hockey IQ players, hire a coach that works that way. If you're going to have a coach that wants to play a specific big boy meat and potatoes game, draft players that work in that system. That's fine, it can work. But you can't draft for hockey IQ and then employ coaches that don't have that mindset.

Lowry is not an NHL HC

Even he knows that!

 

[rkp]

Gotta sign Dubois first.

Hope he wants to.

to me dubois looked like he has packed it in for the season

There are 3 things I'd do to start to change this team :

1) Get rid of Wheeler, it's not that he's bad, as he's pretty decent still for a 35 year old guy, but he's not worth $ 8 mil, maybe around $ 3.8.

2) Get rid of Paul Stastny, time to go with up and coming young talent.

3) Hire a good head coach, and new assistants, then start this rebuild, with no delays.

This is only where I'd start, but I'd have to think about many other changes.

 

[sipowicz]

Another gutless Jets performance!

I keep Helly, Connors and PLD and then rebuild!

 

[rehf]

What an absolutely embarrassing franchise.

 

[jungles]

OMG, the IC guys comparing Lowry to Tim Burke. How far we have fallen.

For the non Bomber fans, picture kneeling to kill the clock in a tie game because he didn't trust his own team not to turn the ball over.

Jets will continue to ice the same lineup and have Helle play 10 out of the 11 games left

Sadly this is very likely true. Against all logic.

 

[razorsedge]

Probably looking at a soft rebuild. Get Dubois under a long term contract, dont add any other big contracts. Ride out Wheeler's contract. Maybe dangle Scheifele and Helle for possible trade for picks (as I doubt they'll re-sign here). keep Lowry as the "dead man walking" coach for the next couple seasons. Keep vets like Connor, Dubois, Ehlers, Morrissey, Pionk, and k. Lowry (need vets for young guys to learn to be a proffesional athlete). Draft and develop.

 

[NorCalhockey]

I don’t understand how the Jets can be so broken….? Losing Big Buff, Tanev? The spectacular run to the WCF wasn’t THAT long ago! How did this team degenerate into what they are now?!

Coelacanth of the game

Hmm....

Let me think about this one.

EDIT: Paul Stastny

 

[Orrrules]

What a mess.

hell I even redo the dressing room.........take it down to the studs.....completely revamp the course of the team

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Trade Scheifele and Wheeler this summer.

Bring in Ken Hitchcock if he's up to the task.

 

[GNP]

Add Ehlers and Morrissey in there, and I have your back Sip.

 

[objectiveposter]

Why did Lowry even go into coaching? He is beyond useless and clueless. Whats even scarier is that Huddy has been with the Jets longer and ownership still went with Lowry. What does that say about Huddy? Get rid of all these clown coaches

 

[ps241]

Kind of the story of this year's Jets. Gave away probably 16 points playing like ass against shit teams or shit lineups.

We probably got our fair share of points against top teams that we are a shit team to comparatively to though. That’s the NHL
