Post-Game Talk: GAME 30 - Winterpeg 8 BRUINS 1

[Fenway]

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Mark Scheifele scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a convincing 8-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.

Nikita Chibrikov, Mason Appleton, Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi, Kyle Connor and Vladislav Namestnikov scored the other Winnipeg goals.

Scheifele now has a 13-game point streak at home, totaling 20 points in that stretch.

David Pastrnak replied for the Bruins, who had a four-game winning streak snapped.

Connor Hellebuyck made 23 saves for Winnipeg. Jeremy Swayman stopped 27 shots for Boston.

Scheifele scored his second goal of the game, one-timing a perfect setup from Josh Morrissey on a second-period power play, increasing the Winnipeg lead to 3-0.

Namestnikov opened the scoring in the first period with Boston defenseman Brandon Carlo off for four minutes after clipping Kyle Connor with a high stick. With an assist on the goal, Neal Pionk reached the 200-point mark since joining the Jets in a trade with the New York Rangers.

Takeaways
Bruins: Boston was on their heels after the Jets scored on the power play in the first period, but came to life in the second, scoring their first goal and missing a number of chances. Then they fell apart in the third.

Jets: Winnipeg seemed sparked by the energy displayed by call-up Chibrikov. He drew an early penalty, started the play that led to Winnipeg’s first goal, then assisted on Iafallo’s power-play goal. Then, Scheifele took over, converting two great passes, and dominating play whenever he was on the ice.

Key moment
Connor scored on a setup from Scheifele 1:15 into the third period giving Winnipeg a 4-1 lead and deflating the Bruins.

Key stat
The Jets scored three power-play goals.

Up next
The Bruins visit the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. The Jets host the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday.

Good lord.

I woke up at 2am and watched the first period on DVR.

Now I kind of have to watch the rest just to see how bad it looks.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

They finally played a real team and reality hit. That fake high of beating up on crappy teams was just brought back to earth.

Yikes....saw it was 3-1 in the 2nd, then woke up and saw the final score. I am not wasting time watching the rest......curious about the fights though.

I hope the two games @Ladyfan is going to are much better. Safe travels!

I just got Logan Airport

Korpi better start the next game

Bruins need some serious roster shakeup.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Anyone still wondering why no one hired Joe Sucko ?

 

[Thirty Seven]

Undisciplined and uninspiring performance. Everyone in our end stands around and watches the puck. No awareness or trying to anticipate the play, just a bunch of pylons that wave their sticks now and then. Why are our Defensemen covering the same people all the time as well? Amateur shit.

Hahah I was up 12-3 and watched it, went to bed after 8 too

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

Carlo was brutal.

 

[chizzler]

I posted about the start before the game. Once they got behind, that was it. 3-1, they were still in it. Missed assignments left and right. Carlo had a rough game.

 

[cat400]

Last night's game was a perfect example of speed kills.
The Jets seemed to have the extra gear and had the Bruins on their heels for most of the night.

Winnipeg is an elite team.....Bruins not so much.

Yeah ... men against boys in that regard. Bs were just overwhelmed shift after shift.

 

[Terrier]

Damn, I actually thought they might channel some of that Philly game, given that it was only 3-1 after two. If we scrape up four or five points on this trip and stay in the playoff structure, I'll be happy.

Either way, there are more games to play and we have to put this behind us. We are “on to Cincinnati.” Hopefully, we avoid more public tune-up sessions.

 

[goldenblack]

I'm starting to think Sway is playing like this BECAUSE we didn't give him 10m.

is there a way we can increase the deal to that?

3.27 and .885%. The business school way.

 

[NDiesel]

I'm sad to admit I didn't turn this game off until 8-1

Not going to be easy getting 4 points. Better put their focus on Seattle & Calgary and approach them with Playoff intensity, because odds are they are getting zero points in Vancouver & Edmonton.

They pretty clearly are a PO bubble team and nothing else. Bruins fortunate Ottawa
doesn't have its act together. That team has more talent than Boson on D and upfront.

 

[Blowfish]

Watched first 2 periods. Went to bed expecting a Bruin comeback. Thought they played well. Obviously packed it in. So refreshing to watch hockey on rock hard quality ice surface. Everything is better. I can’t stand watching slush TD garden hockey. Needs to be fixed.

He is playing like one of the  worst goalies in the league can we pay him as such.

We all know who will not be the USA's #1 goalie for the upcoming 4 nations tournament.

It wasn't a bad game until the third period ... jets 4th goal to start the third was when it was over and the wheels fell off.
After that penalties and missed coverage it was all down hill for Boston.
Boston never had an answer for Winnipeg's first line or powerplay.

The first two periods Boston tried to make a game of it. Several missed chances by Boston early on that if they scored first could have changed the tempo of the game, but no such luck.

Swayman had no chance on the first 3 goals ... it was a bad call on Pastrnak that lead to the jets 3rd goal. And prior to that Winnipeg's 1st goal was on a 4 minute Boston penalty. Boston was left chasing and trying to play catch up the whole game.

Long season and games like this happen. It will be interesting to see how the team responds the rest of this trip. Sweeney has some hard decisions to make going forward.

I couldn't even watch the lowlights this morning....

I'm amazed they want him. But maybe it'll be good for him.
