Post-Game Talk: It goes to a SO Jets lose 6-5

[robertocarlos]

Some in the trade thread were speculating if the Jets consider being a seller if they lose this game. If we are going for the 2nd wildcard spot we may as well acquire some future assets by trading some guys. Calgary is unloading guys as well so it'll be realistic to take a run at the playoffs even if you move a guy like PLD or even Dillon for a king's ransom.

The real reason PLD did not play tonight? Or was it just the tip?

Nobody wants that albatross of a contract.

True, we'd have to add picks

I thought the game was pretty even but starting slow is still a pretty big concern. Honestly it shouldn't have been as close, Hellebuyck wasn't the wall he usually is.

That's a lot of goals against - not his best night but hard to call him out.
He didn't get much help from the D on most of them - net front (deflections), lost coverage on a couple, seem pass PP one timer, point blank shots, blah.
Not worried about Helle - encouraged by the teams compete - but agree they were slow out of the gate again.

That's like 3 months of food from SoF.


Were you not entertained? It was a good game.

I’m entertained when we win, extremely pissed off when we blow a lead and lose.

 

[raideralex99]

Jets better have a plan for a #2 center if they can't sign PLD.

 

[Thechozen1]

why wheeler instead of ehlers lol

I would have sent out Niederreiter. Would have called his name and said go bring these fans out of their seats.

 

[chaos4]

Entertaining game, finally scored goals, and then we lost
Beat the Oilers geezus.

I think I am just about done with this core group of Jets. These PLAYERS do not seem to get IT aside from JoMo Hellboi Lurch.

1 out of 5 Schwarzeneggers

Yeah, I'd say at least 2 were goals that he probably stops if he's at the top of his game which is enough for me to say the game shouldn't have been as close. I thought he was kicking out uncharacteristic rebounds as well but maybe that was just as much LA shooting to cause them?
I agree though, Hellebuyck's play is still and will probably always be one of the least concerning parts of the team.

I bet if Connor had shot the puck after he worked his way nicely into the slot in OT I think it would have been the winner.

Tushy' eh... I have the cure...

Well that was a step in the right direction. The effort and fight was there, the execution was better but still needs improvement.

PP was awful and let the team down when they put it away in the third.

I hate to rag on Helle but when your team is slumping hard and they spot you 5 goals you need to step up and get the job done. He didn't tonight.

JoMo, Scheifele and Conner all came to play tonight. They are the drivers and need to drive like they did tonight for this group to be successful.

I thought El Nino acquired himself well in his first game. I think he'll fit in once he gets more familiar with his teammates and the scheme.

Was happy to get some contributions from the fourth line tonight.

I am not sure what is up with Ehlers, he's just looked really bad lately. I thought he started to pick things up a bit in the third but we need much more from him.

I think the lack of skill after the first line was apparent tonight. We miss Cole and PLD.

Chevy still needs to grab another quaility top 9 guy imo.

 

[roccerfeller]

We all just hope the jets clear all this stink out prior to the playoffs

There are flashes of great still
It’s not like last year where it was a persistent bland soup

 

[bustamente]

Flames lose in OT do not gain on the Jets

 

[gojetsgo]

boston wins in overtime!!! they score with 4.3 seconds left after taking a dzone draw with 17

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

lmao shots 57-18 Calgary and they still lose

 

[surixon]

The truth hurts, I know.

As always, analytics aren't the only measure but they matched my eye test watching the game

They didn't match mine. Thought we were the better team with the better looks.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Seriously considering watching something else that'll probably be more entertaining.

I did “Driving to Survive” F1 on Netflix new season is top notch. I watched that instead for the most part.

 

[macmaroon]

Once again, I fell asleep and missed part of the third period, overtime and the shootout. Well, at least the Jets scored five, but the Kings scored six... I give the game four OMG's (not the good ones) out of five...

That's four losses in a row and six losses in the last seven games. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we are in a bit of a slump.

The Prediction Contest has been posted for the game against the Oilers. Don't forget to sign up for a GDT, the Edmonton game will be presented by @Zhamnov5GoalGame. Let's hope it will turn things around for our Jets!

Yep, if the goal is to compete at all they can't go into the playoffs running Perfetti or Niederreiter on the 3rd line beside 2 players that probably wouldn't even be scoring in the AHL.

And this is how the last 20 games will slowly go. Us and the Flames limping our way to the finish line.

 

[Aggie204]

The only positive I took away….they scored more then 2 goals in one game. Baby steps muthaf*ckas

I feel they've been manufacturing drama in the past couple of seasons, this one no exception. Certainly doesn't have the magic of the first couple of seasons.
