Post-Game Talk: HC 5 - Jets 2

[JetsFan815]

Clear offensive zone interference penalty on Vilardi not called by the refs right before the Utah 2nd goal

 

[sipowicz]

-4th line is incapable of scoring
-perfetti 1 goal in past 24 games, 2 assists in past 12 both in a blow out win vs vancouver
-names our "2c" has 5 points in his past 19 games

were just not going to win with this type of production, it's going to be very predictable what's going to happen, top line will have the scoring dry up a bit, we will continue to get nothing from everybody else, leading to the top line starting to cheat for offense leading to bad habits and lack of confidence

Keep trotting out the same bottom 9, Ehlers and Lowry aside and expect different results! What a joke!

And the advantage of having the AHL team in Winnipeg was what again…..Chevy?

Time for some changes or does Chevy waste another season of Helly, Schief and Connor and Morrissey for a four and out PO!

I'm not going to go into a deep lamentation of why the Jets lost last night.

Utah hasn't been an easy win for the Jets this year. And Utah is trending in the right direction. I see their young forwards as being very Connor, Ehlers, Laine-like in their impact, and it's a matter of time before the Utah Hockey Club becomes a legitimate contender in the Central with the progression they are getting from young players. Consider that they played this game without their two best d-men.

Bad ice maybe, 1st time in the arena for the Jets. Decent excuses.

Bigger questions I think loom with what kind of team is this without Lowry up the middle?

Also do the Jets have the top 4 defense to win in the playoffs?

Some ugly moments that may want to get erased from the memory.

Good PK tonight, Stan included. Almost popped a 4th line goal off. And Nino and Ehlers looking good together gives a semblance of a 2nd line with or without Lowry.

I liked the pregame show on CJOB that tied Utah into the careers of Arniel, Chevy and Chynoweth, a good endorsement of Salt Lake City as a decent hockey market. Cheap beers make for louder fans.

Better play better again Colorado. Or it will be 3 in a row.

 

[Jets 31]

Playing without Lowry and a having to mix all the lines hurt that's for sure. That was not a good game from Helly either. It's amazing that in our last 10 games in 3 of them we didn't get a single PP . That's gotta be a record of some kind.

 

[Jets 31]

Me trying to find Perfetti.

 

[SUX2BU]

Everything’s been said

To the next one

 

[Ponds]

Make of this what you will.

Stars last 5: L vs Sens | W vs Leafs | L vs Habs | L vs Avalanche | W vs Redwings

Wild last 5: W vs Sharks | L vs Vegas | L vs Oilers | L (shite kicked) vs Preds | W vs Avalanche

Avalanche last 5: L vs Jets | W (OT) vs Rangers | L vs Oilers | W vs Stars | L vs Wild

 

[Channelcat]

Didnt see the game......but that might be worst highlight package I've ever seen.

 

[Hunter368]

I literally went to bed after the 2nd period was done, Jets didn’t even show up for the game. Scott is right that was embarrassing, crap effort.

Don’t even want to talk about that game anymore.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

The team this year is strange. Either Hot or Cold. First third of our season to date, we were 15-1 wins and losses. The second two thirds of the season to date we are a .500 team wins and losses. Reminds me of our 2018-19 season with the quick playoff exit. Hope something changes and we can be better than 0.500 again this year. The common issues - defense, second line, second line c remain an issue. New issue, our backup goaltender can't buy a win mostly because we can't score in front of him. Still enjoying the year, but the high hopes for the playoffs from the record start have faded back to reality for me. I am on the fence as to whether we should acquire at the deadline. Last year, the team was worse after Chevy's acquisitions that were supposed to improve the team. Plus we lost future assets. Decision time is getting near.

 

[buggs]

I gave up after the first period. Late starts do me no favors so I seldom watch.

Seems like the January doldrums. Jets have been doing this since the first season. I remember a Tampa game early on, maybe first or second year, I ponied up for tickets on the glass. Saturday night in January, HNIC. They played like they didn't care. I expect this hits other teams as well.

Might be time to start seeing Perfetti for what his limitations are and acknowledge our second line outside of Ehlers isn't really capable of scoring much. That's somewhat problematic when our 'third' line isn't either, though at least that's not their role.

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Don’t know what’s worse.
Watching this game or going on a bad date
It’s feels the same.
Start off with exciting anticipation
Then I start fumbling my lines
Gets late and I’m desperate to score before the night ends
Leave empty handed

 

[kanadalainen]

Its a long season, there are always going to be a handful of flaccid sluggardly catatonic uninspired mountain-of-detritus games in among the 82. Next please.

 

[Keystone]

I think that’s the first game I’ve turned off before over this year. After 3-0 I didn’t see hope and bed was calling.

Weird that you'd lump our last two thirds together after separating ot the first third

By my count, we're 8-4-3 in our last 15 (9-3-3 before last night)

I guess you could call that ".500", but point percentage wise that's top 10 in the league (7th place right now has .641)

People will always pick sample sizes to confirm their bias i guess

Has any team in the league (outside of maybe Washington) played consistently .700 points percentage hockey over the season?

 

[kanadalainen]

The Jets had a fuel issue. As in the bastard gained some early ignition.

Perhaps the boys were let loose on the "lake" to suck down some of that famous health giving dust bowl goodness.

Yeah I'd like to see a shakeup, either internally or by trade. It's obvious that Perfetti isn't getting it done. Ehlers looks like a world beater or an also ran, and though Lowry in my mind is a better option with those two than Namestnikov, I don't think that's the solution if you're serious about winning a cup.

For now, I'd like to see Chibrikov or Lambert come up (maybe give them both a run for a few games like last time). I still don't think that's the solution. I think Chevy has to bite the bullet and get us a 2C with some size and hands. We cannot expect the first line to do all the scoring, and especially not in the playoffs.

Perfetti at this point is a fringe top 6 player - and though he might figure it out at some point, this is 2 years in a row where he just stopped producing.

 

[bustamente]

Teams clod up the middle and Jets forget how to hockey, they better figure it our cause that's what they are going to see in the playoffs

 

[bustamente]

Looking back to the bridge contract for Koal it was the right move, if Chevy wanted it good move, if Koal's agent wanted it bad move. This was the year that he really needed to show progress and quite frankly he hasn't

Honestly i have not bitched about Perfetti all season , i thought he has played good defensively but we need more out of him offensively big time. There was a shot by the camera going down our bench and i noticed Perfetti's stick tape was the only blade that had no puck marks on it, it looked brand new. Now he could have gone to a new stick but to me it wasn't surprising if he didn't .

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Poor effort
Gus breakaway goes in its probably a much different game
Ice looked terrible
Reffing wasn't great but wouldn't matter much with that effort
More like the Calgary game please
Put this one behind you and move on

Yeah I'm not saying Perfetti isn't doing good things out there but at some point if you are a top 6 forward on a team that is a legit contender you have to produce.

In this case to me it was just a lack of focus and effort. I don't know what they did the night before but when the entire team looks discombobulated I feel like they were up to no good

 

[bustamente]

Why can't the Jets draw penalties, last night their were 2 clear infraction one on Nik the other on Fefe with the refs looking right at it and no call. Sure they have one of the best pp's in the league but that shouldn't be held against them. Something stinks when a team at the top of the league in taking penalties doesn't get called for even 1 at home.

 

[snowkiddin]

Good news for this board is that stan wasnt our worst D

Bad news for the jets is that Stan was not our worst D

Ice seems shitty there... just as soft as the jets tonight

Ehlers and nino looked good.

More good news for the board is we're only at two pages in the PGT after a loss!

 

[Jets 31]

Arniel was pissed, his interview starts at 8:59 of the video.
