Post-Game Talk: Huge comeback win! Jets 4-3

[KingBogo]

I mean, he just went back to what was working before with a different winger. Perreault and Little are great together, and Maurice was the one who broke that up originally.

Putting Roz with them as well was a nice move especially when he had to drop both Ehlers and Laine down to do it.

 

[Inflict]

What a great ****ing win.

Laine and Ehlers were horrible tonight. We need more from them going forward.

Nice to see Scheif back to being a force down the middle for us.

Ehlers and Laine are getting more hate than they deserve IMO. I think the word people are looking for is underwhelming, not horrible or bad. Each of them had their moments tonight, both good and bad.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Lesson...never give up.

There's no doubt about it, the Jets were giant underdogs in that situation. A few percent, at best.

As the underdogs did to us last game, sometimes the underdog comes in

Cmon. Let’s just try it.

Anybody think Byfuglien will get a phone call from Player Safety?

 

[Gil Fisher]

Mo's response to the Myers question was pricelss.

 

[Derfel]

Anybody think Byfuglien will get a phone call from Player Safety?

No. I have little respect for DoPS but there's absolutely nothing there.

Bowey should though, that was an intentional head hit. Of course, he won't get a call.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Lowry and Trouba really change the make-up of the team. They play big, shutdown roles and let others play against weaker opponents.

And they actually are and play big, tonight's game was another physical hard game and having those two certainly adds to the ability to win against teams like St.Louis, Anaheim et all.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

God damn, comebacks like that are better than ****jobs.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Mo's response to the Myers question was pricelss.

Link? Or for that matter a link to Wheeler saying "we haven't f***ing made the playoff yet"?

 

[Jets2point0]

Theres something really sexy about seeing our first ever draft selection bright-eyes blow past Ovi in 3on3 with a no-look setup for the game winner.

Gives me the goose pimples

 

[Adam da bomb]

I still think if the choice is between keeping wheeler and Trouba because they both ask for 7mil I think we have enough talented young forwards that I am spending my money on our #1 &2 d. Trouba and Morissey.
Having trouba out has showed how much we miss him.

 

[Aggie204]

Caught Wheelers f-bomb. Nothing better then a salty captain.

 

[kcin94]

As much as I think Lowry is an acceptable fit at 3rd line center, having so much talent that they could run the big man on the 4th line with Tanev and Armia? That 4th line would be the class of the league.

Maurice will run them against the other team's best. Call them the third line or 4th line, it doesn't matter.

 

[AlphaLackey]

I don't think people realize how exceptional Lowry has been this season. He just dominates the ice when he is on. If he was faster or had more skill or both he would be a superstar but I will settle for being a dominate 3rd line center

I've been beating this drum to anyone within earshot all season. The man is already an elite checking center. If the Selke trophy actually went to defensive forwards instead of two-way forwards, he'd be up there for consideration already.

 

[Board Bard]

Roz was awesome and something tells me Little would like to have him on his wing

Little talked about Roz in the post-game interview. Said he's hard on the puck, gets pucks off the wall. You could pretty much hear him thinking Roz does all the things Laine and Ehlers don't. Defintely more of a style that Little is tuned to.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Caught Wheelers f-bomb. Nothing better then a salty captain.

Popeyeism is pretty much my religion. I live by its two tenets:

1) I am what I am.
2) That's all I can stands; I can't stands no more!

 

[AlphaLackey]

Maurice will run them against the other team's best. Call them the third line or 4th line, it doesn't matter.

Sure, I mean, I think we'd both / almost all agree that the term "shutdown line" is much more accurate. Only really called them back there for the comparison in my mind to the Red Wings of the late aughties, that had players like Kris Draper and Darren Helm on the (so-called) 4th line and it was a testament to how ridiculously deep they were.

 

[surixon]

Mo's response to the Myers question was pricelss.

Haha, yup he was trying hard not to say more than he had to. I don't think he liked Myers game at all.

 

[Board Bard]

Theres something really sexy about seeing our first ever draft selection bright-eyes blow past Ovi in 3on3 with a no-look setup for the game winner.

Gives me the goose pimples

Actually Scheif said he took a glance and saw Myers heading for the seam. Still a minty pass though.

 

[surixon]

Link? Or for that matter a link to Wheeler saying "we haven't ****ing made the playoff yet"?

They asked him about the goal and Maurice gave a very short "It was good for him" answer but looked a bit peeved during it.

 

[boanst]

Suddenly it becomes clear to me that Chevy needs to find a center that can play with Laine and Ehlers.

 

[LowLefty]

Putting Roz with them as well was a nice move especially when he had to drop both Ehlers and Laine down to do it.

Yup -
Really gutsy move by the coach and you have to make those calls as a good coach - I honestly think Maurice would have had trouble with that call, under the same circumstances, last year - he's making those tough decisions more often and they are paying off.

Now what happens? What's our 3rd going to look like, especially when you consider what our 3rd already is when healthy

 

[AlphaLackey]

Check out the salty caps fans on the left side of the screen, especially the one in green. There's one in every crowd

 

[Roughneck1]

Laine had a very bad game. Get over it.

Yep. On for all three goals against I believe and lost the puck consistently in the offensive zone giving up possession. Absolutely no way he should have got more ice time then he did.
