Post-Game Talk: Hawks/Jets Post Game

[Mortimer Snerd]

I like the coach, have no answers.

Not sure you have enough commas yet.

Edit: Or - Like the coach, I have no answers.

 

[Cypruss]

He only had the last 6 months to fix it. Why now.

Are we even sure he came back from the Cabin?

 

[NotCommitted]

Are we even sure he came back from the Cabin?

The owls are not what they seem.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Or

the coach; I like have no answer .....

ugh

No answer I have, like the coach.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Seriously what do you expect Chevy to do?
He was up against the cap losing Tanev, Chiarot, Myers plus the Buff injury which tied up 7 millon.
Remember the Jets HF said those 3 were not worth it and yet they signed for $13 million.

13 million Jets didn't have - and they were not worth it.

 

[Atoyot]

13 million Jets didn't have - and they were not worth it.

Not at the time, but in hindsight it would seem Chiarot is worth his contract.

EDIT: Maybe not 3.5, but at 3 million I'd take him.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yeah, whether it was a concussion or a shoulder injury, neither are good news as both tend to get progressively more serious.

If it is a concussion, and they put his arm in a sling, we need more than a new coach.

 

[Jets 31]

Remember Jets fans wait for the train to stop before jumping off .

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

The owls are not what they seem.

Nor are Chevy and Maurice. I can picture them out at the cabin delighting in their latest extensions from Chipman.

The coach have no answer, I like ?

So the Jets held a closed door players only meeting after the Chicago loss.

2nd time in less than a year

I thought the rumour was that Chevy offered him 3. Not sure about term. He got 3x3.5 from Mtl so 3 doesn't get it done.

Yes, he was underappreciated here. I'd take him now in a heartbeat. But not for 3.5.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

or

The coach have no answer, I like ?

Answer, coach, I have no.

 

[Gm0ney]

So the Jets held a closed door players only meeting after the Chicago loss.

They should've had it after the Tampa game. Last night was disappointing but they didn't seem outclassed by the Blackhawks. Friday night was an embarrassment.

 

[SUX2BU]

Answer, coach, I have no.

or

Have answer; I no like the couch ......

 

[BoneDocUK]

2nd time in less than a year

Time to trade once again for player dev coach Matt Hendricks? Looks like noted bench and room guys Sbisa and Bitetto aren’t gettin’ ‘er done.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Baby Groot

That's what its called. What is it?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Positive of Lowry injury, Perreault - Roslovic - Appleton is a decent offensive minded 3rd line...

But that's not happening.

 

[Jets 31]

That's what its called. What is it?

A tree that's a super hero , hope that clears it up .

 

[BoneDocUK]

That's what its called. What is it?

Groot - Wikipedia

Happy reading — it would make a heckuvan upgrade on D.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Thanks for pulling that stat out it certainly sheds some light on where the deficiency lies on this team.
To me this is a damning stat on the job the GM has done.

I don't think it absolves the coach. Roster decisions have been crap all year. The 4th line could have been better out of TC. Poor decisions were made by the coach.

 

[Jets 31]

Have answer; I no like the couch ......

But do you like the love seat ?

 

[SUX2BU]

But do you like the love seat ?

Doh, worrying about my punctuation but my spelling let me down .....

Well, as a fan of this team/franchise for 45 or so years by definition I am emotional. As for your explanation of the "actual NHL" I say balderdash.

The Jets 2 years ago were contenders. They were inarguably a top team in the league with a very young and talented roster and a legit Stanley Cup threat. They should have been a threat for the next several seasons. 1 1/2 years later the threat is gone. I argue no one could have forseen this squad falling / failing so far so fast. Not going to break down all the issues nor causes but this team is no longer a contender. Huge changes need to occur to get back to being one.

You mention the Blues. They have been consistent contenders for several seasons in a row. Last year they went out and acquired OReilly as the missing piece. Team shat the bed for the first 40 or so games. Coaching change and a goalie switch and they win a cup. Know what? They are legit contenders for the cup again and are the best team in the Western Conference.

The Capitals have been contenders for years. Not winning the cup is very different than their window closing. Maybe you did not notice the Caps are the top team in the league?

The Penguins have been contenders for years. Again, winning the cup is very different than their window closing. And when they struggled they made changes. And won. And they are legit contenders again this year. 4th overall and Crosby has missed over 25 games.

'No one could have foreseen' is my point--sometimes a similar roster can have drastically different results, but if a solid foundation is in place a minor move and/or coaching change can be the catalyst for a team to re-emerge.

I don't know what happened last year, but it was dire and the team still needs to come out of it. To pretend that it's all over at this point--because of a dire defence, or bad goaltending, or corsi--is folly.
