Post-Game Talk: Jets 3 - Blues 2

[KingBogo]

Total team effort everyone is on the same page yes there were a couple of bad plays but overall everyone had a good game ... they never stopped skating.
The Blues even with their bounces could not beat the Jets.
Team Corsi Scheifele/Connor on the ice for both goals (both were rebounds D-man blown coverage) but Connor had the game winner and the Jets are 6-0.

The 1st line was good tonight with the underlying numbers, both CF% and xGF%. Another interesting didbit Ehlers had a longer average shift length tonight than Schiefele.

Helly is so solid.

2nd line and 2nd PP unit getting it done although it was a solid team effort. The top line was a bit sloppy in their own zone at times tonight. I liked them on the attack. Connor with the poor puck security letting it get passed him to Parayko. Could have stopped the puck and made a play but got careless, then a pick on Pionk and Snerg gets caught between two forwards on the doorstep and decides to play the puck?? Small details cause pucks to go in the net. Awesome snipe by Kitty Connor coming off the bench on goal 3.

Underrated coaching move Arni pulling the 1st PP unit off after 40 seconds due to a few reckless plays where they were being too cute with the puck and then 2nd PP unit says hold me beer. They score on a wrist shot by Pionk with Nino driving net front for tip…..Perfetti goes low to high, Pionk waited long enough for Nino to get in the lane……….”simple, simple, simple” Way to go coach.

Really happy with this win vs a quality opponent in their barn.

I’d prefer for fleury to come back in. I think there is too much complaining about Stanley, but the other guy is just better.

Stan played very well tonight.

There were some bad plays by the Jets, but they never gave up and fought right until the end. Not a bad start, eh? I give this game four "Ernie and Berts" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Kraken has been posted for your guesses. I will not be able to make a GDT for the game against Seattle as I am on the road and will not have time. If someone could volunteer, that would be awesome. I'll try to stay awake for the 9:00pm start, but I make no promises... See you Thursday...

Sitting on the puck pushed his minutes up.
But seriously that whole line is coming along very nicely ... the more they play together the better they get.

Keep up the Good Play Jets. Yall look good out there. Really fun team. Please wreck Avs, Preds, and, Stars when you play them.

I dropped a couple of shelled hazelnuts on my couch which rolled under me where I was sitting. After the game, when I got up, I was surprised to find them already cracked.

Meanwhile, all Kypreos could say about the Jets the other day was attendance issues and they depend too much on Helly. What a goof!

His best position on the ice was face down, SN got it right the first time they let him go

See these are the stories I want to read after a Jets win ... no negativity.
So who is living under the couch.

Our toughest test so far this year, only if you do the same

Good game across the board - and the Blues can play.
Our entries / exits are so much better than they have been in years - everyone is getting it together - coaching should get some props

That is the biggest positive change Arniel has made imo. Our breakouts are way more organized.

It also seems that all our dmen have the green light to get involved where appropriate.

Special team also seem to be on the right track.

I think its been a very good start for Scott and his staff.

Teams will eventually catch on so we shall see how he adapts to that.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Blues looked like the best team we've faced so far, going to be a long grind to make the playoffs in the central this year

but….”YOU can DO ITTT!!!”

Stanley hasn't been that bad, but Fleury has been good

 

[bustamente]

Another big change this year is when another tries to get pressure in our zone the Jets generally can get the puck and move it quickly I think the Blues only had one or two moments where they sustained their pressure

 

[KingBogo]

I'm guessing they will platoon the 2 until the see what they have in Heinola. At that point a decision will need to be made, though I think they keep 8 D up to avoid losing any depth.

 

[Shlep]

Iafallo could have had a couple breakaways if he had any explosiveness, guy accelerates like a semi.

 

[bustamente]

6-0 is nice beating a divisional foe also nice, I know it's to early to scoreboard watch but the Stars and Hawks lost and HC is losing and it looks like the lowly Preds will win their first of the year

Yup they learned their lesson last year against the Avs and worked on it. Penguins did it to the Jets in the first half of the 2nd period and the Jets figured it out.

 

[jungles]

Our goal differential is insane.

 

[bustamente]

I was worried this team would miss Dilly but so far that's not the case.

 

[Malcsta]

Ill eat my hat because Stanley tightened up his game in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[ThinIce61]

Our team looks solid top to bottom. Kupari needs to stay as 4C. He is getting better all the time

Quoted for truth. Liked Kupari from the moment we acquired him. Now his talents are starting to show. We need to keep the most productive and complete players in the lineup. Gustafson not necessarily a liability but we are starting to see Kupari pass him. Want Fleury back in next game as well. Might see Bug Eyes next game with Helle likely getting Calgary and for sure the center of the universe Leafs.

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

Sorry about the slew foot, he's (Texier) new....

 

[ThinIce61]

Ill eat my hat because Stanley tightened up his game in the 2nd and 3rd.

He also tightened up my sphincter every time he was on the ice.
