Post-Game Talk: Close but no cigar, Jets lose in SO 4-3

[brendan smith]

I hope this is the case. If it were a protest or disheartened attempt ... The locker room will sour on him fast.

If it was a protest (which i dont think it was), then he’s a day late for the protest parade... TD was yesterday bro...

They were playing man to man with Sawyer and Huddy to get some confidence.

and some how sawyer and huddy came away as the confident ones

Good fight to get a point but man did we get worked hard tonight. We were thoroughly outclassed and outchanced tonight but our goalie stepped up and we were opportunistic.

With Morrissey out of the lineup it looks like the team has gone back into play not to lose mode. It was only when we had to open it up in the third that this team started to generate good chances.

Brossoit with a dandy game, got us that point imo.

Defense:

Might have been Kuli's best game this year, he was great. Pionk was solid

Poolman and Bietto were an absolute train wreck, just awful.
Beau and DeMelo were mediocre

Scheifele looked about as good as he has in a while, was battling hard all over the ic for the most part. Wheeler was solid but seems to be making some odd decisions. Connor with a great steal and a goal.

Eakins hasn't adjusted yet and only has mediocre speed and hands. I don't like him any better in that 2 hole then Copp. Ehlers had a solid night, Laine wasn't all that great today.

Third line had some moments. Roslovic and Harkins were both good, Copp worked but killed a lot of offensive plays.

FOurth line was inconsequential.

 

[sipowicz]

Needed point!

 

[surixon]

did poolman and bitetto get benched in the 3rd?

Yes as they should have. Poolman was under 10 in XGF% and Bietto wasn't much better. They got absolutely annihilated out there.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

The Jets could use a 2C like Kuznetsnov in the worst way. Dude has so much skill.

 

[behemolari]

BS man. These are professionals not 12 year olds posting in their parent's basement.

Ehlers looks like 12 yo

 

[MardyBum]

We keep trying to play a prevent defense in the 1st quarter with neither the defense or special teams to manage the field position.

It's only when Mr. Potato Heads' plans go out the window do we see any sort of offensive creativity out of this team.

 

[bustamente]

Just keep Kyle Connor out of the trade speculation, his defense will improve and 30 plus goal scorers don't grow on trees

Yup when we are forced to abandon the all out defense we actually start resembling a dangerous team.

 

[gojetsgo]

oh I agree, bietto made the worst break out pass I've ever seen and followed it up by leaving his man all alone in front on the 3rd goal.

 

[KingBogo]

Ehlers looks like 12 yo

Yeah it was one of the weakest attempts I've seen. He will drop down very low now in future shootouts.

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

That’s a big point that we can build off of. If we can snag 3 of 4 on b2b with a top teir team, call it a success.

 

[gojetsgo]

I think there is a group of players on this team that are trying to get pomo fired, they have secret meetings at stastny's newly finished house, ehlers shootout attempt was just the first strike

 

[Teemusalami204]

Ehlers' shootout attempt was a protest. Skating like molasses and then firing a stupid shot. That was a protest to Paul Maurice for the way he's been deployed and it's difficult to blame him for doing it, but bad timing. He genuinely doesn't care.

I am a tinfoil hat fan sometimes. And even though it Makes alot of sense I don't think he would do that

 

[Deedog99]

Just keep Kyle Connor out of the trade speculation, he defensive will improve and 30 plus goal scorers don't grow on trees

Agree with this. Can't even draft them second overall.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Close but no cigar - sounds like something Monica Lewinsky might have said.

Didn't watch the game (don't see any point, personally speaking), but it sounded like we fell behind, and had to chase the game (judging that it went into a SO, looks like we tied the Caps).

1 point in the last 3 games. Not going to cut it if they want in the playoffs.

 

[MardyBum]

Agree with this. Can't even draft them second overall.

Certainly not. Even harder to find one who can score 30 in 4 straight seasons to start his career.

It wasn't offensive creativity that tied this game. It was hard work on all three goals and a bit of luck. Laine's work on the boards for the first. Connor's defensive stick on the second. Scheifele's straight line drive and a skate on the third.

 

[Hunter368]

1) I wasn’t expecting the Jets to win.

2) Great come back by the Jets, could of easily gave up.

3) Great to get a single point.

4) Ehlers......WTF in the shoot out. Ugh

 

[gojetsgo]

36,44,30 and on pace for over 30 again

 

[MardyBum]

Nope.

Not a 30 goal scorer.

 

[KingBogo]

Also there is not a worse thing you can imply about a player than throwing a game because he doesn't care. Honestly it is sickening some posters think so little of Fly to even imply it even if it was an attempted jab at Maurice.

 

[winnipegger]

Ehlers is a play driver and should be stapled to Scheifele. At least don't bury him. He's a very effective player that's clear as day.
