Post-Game Talk: Coming Home Up 3 Games To 1 - Jets 2 Wild 0

[Guerzy]

"cost us the game"

 

[Channelcat]

The media is annoying. No hard fought road victory by Jets. Nope we got to see Morrissey's face plastered everywhere and how the blown call cost them the game. There where plenty of blown calls that went their way.

Don't forget 55 taking out Parise, ending the Wilds chances. We probably broke Suter too.

 

[McDLT]

People are just in a mood because we’re dominating the underdogs like it’s the first period of the game in mighty ducks 3.

 

[Revolver]

This games Buff Smash

Great, clean hit. Buff doesn’t run guys like that POS Foligno. Buff is just coasting there. If he took a run at Greenway like Foligno did at Trouba, Buff would have put him through the boards!

 

[Guerzy]

Definitely should have been a penalty, no doubt about that. Morrissey has to have control of his stick, etc.. I don't think it was intentional at all nor do I think Morrissey tried to hurt Staal on that play. I think Morrissey was trying to defend a bigger man in Staal and with the way Staal was moving JoMo missjudged and instead of pushing/cross checking Staal's upper body he caught him up high. I think it would be a silly suspension but we'll see.

I'm not sure how you can suspend Morrissey for that play when Marchand was not suspended just two weeks ago after being hit, turning around and deliberately cross checking McDonald in the face............




One was a deliberate intent to injure and completely careless in my opinion (Marchand on MacDonald). The other was in the midst of a positional battle (Morrissey on Staal) on the type of play that literally happens 30 times a game, it just so happens it got Staal up high.

“My take is it’s the same take as everyone in the building saw,” fumed a crimson-faced coach Bruce Boudreau. “The refs saw it and decided not to call it because we were already on the power play. Cost us the game.”

***

The refs didn't make the call because it happened away from the play and nobody saw it. If the refs saw the Morrissey cross-check it would have been called, no question.

What I see.... I see a fine from the NHL coming Boudreau's way.

I loved it. He said "the refs saw it, no call, they only didn't want to call it because we were on the power play" and then later mentions that the refs said "they didn't see it".

Well, I'm no hockey genius, but it seems one of these two explanations is much more plausible as to why the play didn't result in a penalty.

And if reputation matters for anything, as it should, well.. I don't know what the league rules are on referring to a player as the cheapest piece of sub-human shit that Satan could ever have scraped off his cloven hoof, so I have no comment at this time pending rule clarification.

All good points except the part about the puck which was no where near the two of them. His shove / cross check was just fighting for space in the slot. Had the puck been there I don't see how the refs could have not called something.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

I couldn't join in the Hf debate during the game, I was way too nervous.

Dammit that was a clencher...

Soo good to get that win, so important.

Ugly game, but we handled them well.

Already edited it, meant to say positional battle.

 

[Dayofthedogs]

Listening to Bruce complain has brought me so much joy.

Suck it wild.

That said, Josh did deserve 2min for the cross check but if we want to retroactively watch every NHL game start to finish there has been a boatload of calls every single game that are missed.

Someone should inform Bruce his team actually needs to score to win a hockey game.

The wild have been soundly outplayed 5vs5 all series.

The irony of someone calling us the "Ducks" while we are playing against Boudreau shouldnt be lost on the wild fans but is it seems.

Frankly, after watching Boudreau direct his team into the late game 2 shenanigans I have zero sympathy for any wild fan.

They saw it but let it go because Jets were put on a 5-vs-3 on pretty shaky grounds in the previous game that cost them the game. They didn't want to do it again.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

The unfair 5 on 3 in game 3 match cost us the game, the hit by Morrisey in game 4 cost them the game. So we're even then

 

[LadyJet26]

I got off early and saw the empty netter live on my phone on the bus home. Watched the full game when I got home.

Helly was amazing. Wild are gassed and we're heading home to close out the series.

GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!!!

I have no sympathy for the Wild team, it wasn't the fans that directed Boudreau to be a scumbag.

 

[ulf]

Worse case....Trouba needs to rest his brain from the hits taken, he looks dazed and confused.
Morrissey. ...gets a game or 2
Myers can't go
Enstrom not Ready
Kulikov not ready.

Morrow...Buff
Charoit....Poolman
Niku...not sure ouch

 

[aj8000]

Honestly how do the Jets score on a powerplay when the Wild just stand all 5 of their players in front of Dubnyk.

Every shot just get blocked.

It is because they can only legally stand four players in front of Dubnyk during a Jets Power play and the refs can't count I guess.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Good showing from the boys. Everyone seemed to play well from what i could tell (didn't see the entire game). Ugly crosscheck by Morrissey, hope he doesn't get suspended but...damn was that ugly or what?

 

[Whileee]

Pmo had a nice response. We thought the refs missed some calls last game that we would have liked called. I really think the refs just didn't see it tbh, or they would've called it a penalty.

Yup. Myers missed at least one game for his Tony Harding job. Staal didn't even miss a shift.

 

[Dayofthedogs]

I have no sympathy for the Wild team, it wasn't the fans that directed Boudreau to be a *******.

I hate them all. Equally.

 

[surixon]

Speaking of them cross check shouldn't we have heard about a hearing by now if there was to be one?

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Just heard the Boudreau whine fest. Wow. Last game his goon Foligno with a clear head shot on Trouba and also targets Myers knee knocking him out of the series, possibly the year. According to Boudreau in that case it is just guys just falling down. Last night yeah they missed the penalty, but their guy is back out on the next shift no problem and somehow according to Boudreau it cost them the game. Fakaff.

Where is the Boudreau Wine Fest? I'd definitely go.

The Bordeaux Wine Festival

Close enough haha

 

[mzappa]

You knew the wild were doomed after that cringy start to the game lmao

I still don't get it --- the anthem singer calls out a challenge to Winnipeg fans by asks the Minny fans to sing the anthem, then proceeds to sing the entire anthem himself. What did that prove?!
