Lots of good games tonight, IMHO.

Pavs was solid after the first shaky goal
Peluso with a nice tilt, and some good chances at the net.
4th line played well, after the 1st goal they gave up.
Scheifele with a really strong game - winning puck battles, pushing possession.
Trouba: what a stud - love the selfless act of tossing the puck over to Wheels for the EN
Olli: holy moley! What a great game he had tonight.
Buff with a huge game - some great plays to move the puck forward
Enström with a really strong game - played well positionally, and broke up some near breakaways.
Thorburn with some strong work to help out the 2nd line, Gooch with a nice goal
Albert: first shot in the NHL, first goal in the NHL. Some crow to eat, I'll admit. :D
2nd period: the whole team really turned the heat up.

Excellent game tonight. Great road win.

As someone genetically predisposed to dislike teams called Rangers who play in blue, white and red, this win pleases me.

Great to see a win after the disappointment in Philly. Trouba is going to be a total beast. Buff was immense, and great to see the young guy Albert scoring.

If only we could sort out that ******* powerplay!

Everyone's already said it, but wow Trouba. I'm confused that he didn't get first star, baffled that he didn't get ANY star.

Is it bothersome to anyone else that Thorburn/Jokinen/Setoguchi looked better than Kane/Jokinen/Setoguchi?

Scheif looked really good again, good to see him gaining confidence. Bodes well for the Jets' future.

Thorburn had a great game. That was a character win, with Scheifele starting to show what he can do and almost everything done outside the first line. Pavelec is really "on" right now, too.

Marky Mark finally looks like he belongs in the NHL. His last few games have been great

If Trouba never improves past his performance tonight the Jets still got a absolute steal in the draft.

But the good thing is he will likely add considerably more to his game. At 19 most d-man don't even have a sniff at the NHL, never mind put in dominate performances like that.

Good to see our two young guys play so well. Schief was everywhere tonight.

Schief is getting close, reminded me a little of #10 (the old guys know who I'm talking about)

Trouba already better than Bogo who?

Pavs quietly very good

Good Joki, good Wheeler tonight

Thorbs really looked like an NHLér tonight

Hope Tangradi is benched for good.

Our last PP I liked Scheif moving the puck, he made some very good decisions. I just don't think Enstrom cuts it any more.

I agree with this, but for another reason. Scheifele out there mean we have a player who isn't player the defense role who can move the puck around. Giving us another dimension on our PP (that we really lost when we lost Antropov).

Wonder if they've considered Trouba and Byfuglien on the 1st PP pairing. Enstrom doesn't shoot or leave the blueline enough lately.

Oh my god. Trouba is so freaking awesome! Also Schiefele looks 20 pounds heavier lately. Not only is he falling down less and being stronger on the puck, but he's starting to lay out a few decent hits. Really happy with our recent picks. And grats to Albert!

Maybe he took the Byfuglien in-season diet? Buff regularly gains like 20-40 pounds during the season.:laugh:

It's hard to imagine that he's still only 19 too.

I felt kind of foolish earlier in the year suggesting that our struggles were partly because we were missing Trouba. Since he's been back, I don't feel foolish at all. Fix the power play, trade some middling pick for a specialist if you must, fire Pearn, I don't care. Our inept PP is going to cost us an average of what, 30-40 goals this year that we'd have if we had even average efficiency?
