Post-Game Talk: Calder twins do it again! Jets win 3-2 in overtime

[GoJetsGo55]

You guys look far better under Maurice than Noel, but it was against us, so none of that matters. Congrats on holding on, Trouba's gonna be special.

HaHa that reminds me of this

I still think it's really weird that it's the same scouting staff as in Atlanta. What the heck happened?

But its the GM who makes the final call. Maybe Chevy is just better at wading through the noise and picking the right guy.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Oh, and Buff stays at forward. That is all.

 

[Puckschmuck*]

So many tears coming out of Coil country right now.

I love it

Probably different mandates, and different "top guys" helping shape those mandates (IE: Chevy, Zinger, etc).

Jets heavily out-possessed the Oilers tonight - Bryz had a pretty strong game, I thought.

Maybe this GM is listening to his scouts? Waddell, apparently, thought he knew better and didn't always pay attention to his scouting crew.

Player development is just as, if not more important.

Schiefele and Trouba were allowed to develop to the point where they wouldn't get beaten down when they made the jump to the NHL and would actually be able to have some success in the NHL while they continue to develop.

Direction - The main attributes your looking for. True North has also added a lot of funding towards scouting.

This is the thing I've liked about Chevy. He's taken an Atlanta scouting staff and seemingly turned it into something productive. Now he really needs to do that with the on-ice product.

That sounds pretty scary considering how poorly they drafted after the 1st round every year in Atl.

 

[Jet]

The REAL test will be to see if this team can break the .500 barrier that's plagued them. I'm Cautiously optimistic

The 2 are closely related. In my mind it is crystal clear this team will be built around our young players.

Well Atlanta never had issues drafting in their first round either...

They weren't rushed into the NHL as 18 year olds like every Atlanta first round pick was.

 

[ihadtochangethename]

Glad to see O'dell get a shot with some players who actually play some good offence.

That said, I can't wait to see KSW. That will be beastly.

when the hell is he coming back

 

[Atoyot]

lol @ oiler fans having kittens over troubas game winner. do they really think hes so strong as to knock an oiler 1 handed off his skates and barrelling into bryz? the idiot oilers d man was doing that all himself and trouba shook him off with a 1 arm forearm shiver.

loser team. jets win!

They're not in the wrong to complain, the goal could have easily been called off. I'm more surprised about the people complaining about the Eberle-Trouba 1 on 1 saying there should have been a penalty. It was a shoulder to shoulder check and played perfectly!

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Hahaha! Maurice being asked about the rookies (paraphrasing, but it was really funny):

"They're just part of the team. (...) They're really good players. It's not like we have a kiddy section in the locker room where we feed them..."

 

[Sweech]

Wow does that actually suggest we now have a coach who can make adjustments in game that actually work?

I only caught the 3rd period, but it looked like a playoff game. We hustled and every single player wanted the puck more than the Edmonton players. Clear effort to separate guys off pucks and great movement. They were clearly giving a lot more effort than I've seen in awhile. Even moreso than the last two games when we won 5-1 and 5-2.

Tell that to Daulton Leveille...

Yep, agree: could argue the OT goal way more than the Eberle thing - Trouba did not hold Eberle, just "pushed" him wide strongly to take him out of the play.

Hopefully next game

I'm gonna have a hard time beating the amount of times that post was quoted...

I'm cautiously optimistic, but then again: it was the Oilers.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what 2.1 can do on this really, REALLY difficult upcoming California trip. That'll be telling.
