High on his own supply from how dominant he’s been against the rangers in the past.
He did. He just isn't the threat anymore he used to be, unfortunately.Was Dougie hurt? I don't think he stepped on the ice for OT
Yup. Some perspective, 3 out of 4 points to end the trip (2 not great games, but not horrible either), boys are back home Saturday.Just too much selfish play out there. Boys need to look in the mirror. Markstrom got them 3 out of 4 points heading home. Will need much better against Tampa Saturday
They look tired for the last week.
Rest up and maybe they can beat Tampa to jump start a new stretch.
Still would like Fitz to get some forward help sooner than later
I'd like to agree, but we barely beat Seattle, who were OBLITERATED by the Jackets tonight.I think you can build off of the last 2 games.
I'll take the point but there's Lindy Ruff coached habits that are biting in the ass big time right now. Funny that Jack lost them that OT when I was dreading a stupid Keefe OT duo that would doom them in. "Sam Carrick and Reilly Smith" in big 2025 LOL
Jack just trying to do too much out there in OT. Like the passion, but it’s just not smart.
This teams strength is getting better and better as a game goes on. Dominating the 2nd and crushing it in the 3rd.The personnel obviously hasn’t been good enough (and I also don’t think can get good enough this season) but also the fact that Jack, Nico, and Timo’s production at 5v5 has been soooooo lackluster this year speaks to a deeper problem with how Keefe has the team playing. There’s way too much of an emphasis on the defense to the detriment of the offense. It’s the same thing that plagued his teams in Toronto. If anything because the personnel here is better on the backend we should be pushing for more and stop being soooo conservative.
You focus on single game results too much. Blackhawks allowed one goal against the Avalanche, Stars allowed 4 to the Rangers last night, Buffalo beat the Caps this week, etc. etc. etc. It happens all the time. They played a fine game against the Kraken and they played 2 solid periods tonight.I'd like to agree, but we barely beat Seattle, who were OBLITERATED by the Jackets tonight.
Superstar goalie Grubauer lit up for 5 in 2 periods by the Jackets and yanked.
The one good thing is that the team hasn't played much worse than this the entire year, so you'd think things have to get better.
And they usually look better against QUALITY opponents like Tampa (not really them particularly) and Florida, rather than the recent gauntlet of cream of the crap, loser, suck, bum ass humpty teams that we've been seeing (LA not included) the last week+.
I don’t buy that. They were 3v3 demons under Lindy. Jack was moving through mud in this OT. If anything that’s a Keefe thing. Jack would’ve pushed the pace like a mad man with Lindy.
NJ can blame their inept PP for the loss
I'm not gonna take much out of the abbreviated one in the 3rd. It may have been one of the very few good shifts we had the entire 3rd period, along with the abbreviated PK we had. We were AWFUL at 5 on 5, just as bad on the 4 on 4.NJ can blame their inept PP for the loss
