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.

I heard the jets are on the PP again

 

[KillerMillerTime]

At that money he BETTER. He's what, top 5% of his position, money-wise? There's no choice.

Yeah of course he's better and I will be surprised if he doesn't.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Swayman, lohrei and Peeke sucked as well as the entire offense.

Kind of just seems like a beat the bad teams and get destroyed by the good teams type of year

Peeke has been brutal since returning. Lol at anyone who thought Columbus coaching staff was his problem. A terrible pick up by Sweeney.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I'm sure Freddy is having nightmares worrying about retribution from Lowry

He should be having nightmares about how he's played this season.

 

[BergyWho37]

They hung in there and traded chances with one of the elite teams in the NHL. The difference in the 1st two periods was their PP vs our PK and their netminder vs ours.

I’m not even debating what goalie is better cause right now it’s obvious but this drives me nuts sometimes with the Swayman hate.

Does Sway deserve criticism like everyone on the team ? he sure does but some are so butthurt by the summer they throw logic out the window.

I don’t recall one amazing save by Hellebuyck all game I’ll fully admit he’s a great goalie but let’s not steer off coarse here he never faced anything that Swayman was facing last night other then the Pasta onetimer that finally hit the net after 33 PP’s and 167 shot attempts..

The way this team floats softly tapped beach balls toward the opposition net with no screens or havoc in front of the net or how they’re afraid to take it to the net cause contact may occur or something heck some aren’t even skilled enough to stop shooting at the opposition legs it’s hard to watch.

After watching them play game in and game out basically all year we still say well that came down to goaltending and our goalie sucks oh 8.5 mil blah blah blah ..

Again I agree Sway does need to better but the opposition goalies are collecting cheques for doing absolutely nothing even any Minor League goaltender would love facing us..

Hey stop this limp noodle wrister or wait stand there while I blast this off the boards ok you ready in your position I’m gonna take a bad angle shot oh boy this is fun k k I’m gonna pass this epically slow pass here comes a onetimer can you get across in time..

Please..

Offence is F’n joke

The fight was cheap, pointless and borderline classless. But we are told by certain media types that there are some teams who would love to have Freddy.
Who are these teams they speak of?
Are they from this planet?
Youranus?

 

[bwunderlich]

So as far as what on the spacecraft is good, Oesterle looks pretty solid and seemed to get a lot of ice time last night.

 

[HumBucker]

Truthfully, I did because it has been so long in between jobs, but last night should not in anyway be put on him. I almost feel bad for Sacco, because he could fail, because of a flawed team., that was put together by other hands, he might never get a coaching job again, justified or not. This team started out on the wrong foot starting with contract disputes, surgeries , that were not real according to the GM, players missing camp, goes on and on. Sorry Joe you are the sacrificial lamb. I did forget to add, that our GM, is more concerned with being the GM, for team Canada than he is being GM, for the Boston Bruins.

If punters like us can recognize that context, I'm pretty sure professional hockey people can as well.

The irony is that if Freddy walked away from Gustaffson after their mutual stickwork this board would have been all over him for not doing anything.

 

[HumBucker]

Marchand admitting their practices have been sloppy lately pretty much confirms Monty wasn’t the biggest issue. Firing the coach didn’t work, so that card is at least used up.

Yeah, that's a little shocking to hear that the practices have been sloppy. What's being done about that? Maybe the team needs a good bag skate or two?

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Two of their top paid players.

Along with Pasta, Marchand and McAvoy (and the injured Lindholm).

Consistently better play from these guys would make this a much better team.

It could happen. It should happen. But we've been waiting a long time for it.



I do.

Much better than just seeing things in a vacuum.

To each their own

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yeah, that's a little shocking to hear that the practices have been sloppy. What's being done about that? Maybe the team needs a good bag skate or two?

A bunch of mediocre players practicing like mediocre players? I'm shocked I tell you shocked!!!

 

[HumBucker]

David Gustafsson - 115 NHL games, 6 penalty minutes. Freddy beats up the helpless.

Kastelic takes on the giant Logan Stanley, nice job by Mark.

Zadorov obliges Lowry, classy move by the big man.

This. It would nice if Freddy could be this tough and nasty more often.

Great job by Kastelic and Zaddy. Kastelic is definitely the leading candidate for 7th Player Award.

 

[Dr Hook]

Okay. but that's a long way from saying they were the better team for two periods, because they weren't. As for the goalies, true, but why is it that the Bruins seem to consistently make other teams' netminders look great? No knock on Hellebuyck, but the Jets could have played an Ebug and he would have looked like an all-star facing this offensively challenged squad.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Hey, someone with a brain

Perfect post for the Freddy haters

Freddy should have shoved that kids stick up his ass. Like I said in another post, he should have tried that with Coyle he was a better match up for him.

The kid probably read this board and read that Freddy is a soft spot picker lololol

 

[BTO]

If I told you sacco would be 7 and 3 you would all take the under on that. I'm a happy camper so far.

He might be 7-7 after the road trip don.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Yeah, that's a little shocking to hear that the practices have been sloppy. What's being done about that? Maybe the team needs a good bag skate or two?

Especially from the Captain.

 

[Hookslide]

No win situation for Freddy, at this point, he will get shit on no matter what.

 

[Gee Wally]

So my interpretation of a lot being said in here is we much rather lose 2-1 or 3-1 .
Ok.
Fact is as bad as Swayman has been the whole team sucked last night. Out played , out talented, and out scored.

Thats my take anyways. They all need to step up in a big way to compete.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Jets call out Bruins for third period actions

F**k Lowry, Scheifele and the Jets! ...they kinda remind me of the Red Wings who go down awfully easy to get a PP

Just about everything went the Jets way last night ..even a high sticking penalty on Pasta in the 2nd period that gave the Jets a 3-0 lead after Stanley highsticked himself in the face

..shit happens and tempers flare when you try to embarrass a team by running up the score

 

[DavidK]

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

Missed the game, but I don't think so. Deserve-to-win-meter says that our performance yesterday should have earned us the win 53.2% of the time.

Can't let the scoreline colour your whole perspective. That includes when we win a game which we deserved to lose handily, which happened the other night. I recall people being pretty upbeat after that win, giving mostly positive reviews of the team's performance. That was pretty telling for me.

 

[ON3M4N]

First period wasn't bad at all. Jets got a couple lucky bounces go their way, but the Bruins at least looked like they were in it with getting tons of traffic in front of Hellebuyck. They were down, but not out.

And then the other 40 minutes happened.

Swayman was somehow not as bad as he looked on paper but also worse. 2 of the first 3 goals he had zero chance on, but when you can still be blamed for giving up 5 of the 8 (while giving up 8 entirely) it's not exactly a good night for you anyway.

I would personally prefer to see Korpisalo get the next couple games. He's been the better goalie all year and seems to be back to being a decent NHL goalie now free from the hell that is playing behind the Senators defense.

He's also drawn easier games for the most part. Here's a list of his starts and where that team sits in points.

FLA - 6th
COL - 12th
PHI - 18th
PHI - 18th
CGY - 14th
STL - 17th
UTA - 21st
NYI - 22nd
DET - 26th

Colorado is the 2nd hardest team Korpi has faced and they were 0-4-0 when that game took place.

So as far as what on the spacecraft is good, Oesterle looks pretty solid and seemed to get a lot of ice time last night.

I've liked the job he's done since coming up. Solid if unspectacular.

 

[analyser]

Freddy is a want to be tough guy who does not fair well against the known fighters in the league. This incident did nothing to impress anyone.

 

[northeastern]

I watched the first half of the game then had shit to get done. Good thing. Wtf happened in the 3rd...
