Post-Game Talk: Jets 2 - Coyotes 1

[kanadalainen]

Coelacanth of the game:

#27 Nicky Ehlers

Loved that double shot breakaway.

 

[WolfHouse]

We saved Connor for the Coyotes game?

 

[cbcwpg]

A win we absolutely had to have, but like they said in the broadcast…. The Jets hung on.

if the Jets ever decide to play the entire game like they played the first period we would have won this game going away.

the biggest problem is that at this time of the year when all wins are important, the Jets staff and players will look at this as a good win when in fact they were horrible for the last 40. And if not for the Helly stick miracle , Coyotes would have scored 2.

a win is a win is a win.

Jets fluke a win!

PP still putrid

Ehlers and Lowusy finally score

Helly solid

The play dies on Appleton’s stick

 

[robertocarlos]

Yes we won but a failing grade must be given. Wowzers!

2 out of 5 Schwarzeneggers, plus this is what I think of Sawyer at his job!

onwards and upwards I suppose.

The future is now.

Is that bottle available at the MLCC?

That Whiskey hasn't been made yet...

In a little more than 4 weeks it will be plus 15C and we will have playoff hockey at home

My spring break vacation (first to Las Vegas, then to my happy place in Tri-Cities, WA) starts on the 17th. Here's to hoping that the Jets run the table a few rounds while I'm on the road

True, but great teams make their own miracles.

And a Jets win at this point is vraiment a miracle.

That power play is about as pretty as watching Joey Chestnut eat 70 hot dogs in slow motion. My favorite part was going 0 for our first 2 with no shots on net. I swear a blind ultimate frisbee coach could scheme up a better PP.

Somehow Minnesota has slipped into #1 in the division - they would probably be a favourable 1st round opponent if we are in the wild card slot

 

[Orrrules]

Much needed win.

Most importantly: Sip posted. Don't go so long between visits next time eh, you curmudgeon. We were worried!

Incentive to coast... float... wave magic wands... big circles... and curl away from contact...

The Jets are the best in the league in the 2nd half...

We've got this...

I get what you're saying, especially that the Helly stick save was a huge high-roll. But that was just one event, and even though it "looked" lucky, every event had luck. Flying under the radar might be desperation plays that the Coyotes did that broke things up on our powerplay, icings that were just a hair over the line, a bobble puck that landed perfectly, etc.

At the end of the day, MoneyPuck says we went in 70-30 favorites but mathematically our performance was only good for a 60% chance to win. So we did underperform / low-roll, but when you're a 70-30 favorite, you can low-roll a bit and still win. Which I think it's fair to say we did here.

 

[gojetsgo]

well that's just simply not true, past 2 games we've been bad but before that it wasn't really the story of why we lost...

Oh, that’s interesting.

Pretty solid three-way fight for first.

 

[Aggie204]

IIRC Button was a crap GM. No thanks. I’d rather have Chevy for the next 5 years then that man.

 

[John Agar]

Button for GM... ?

The Jets will find a way to do much worse...

 

[Fatdrunk]

 

[raideralex99]

 

[Jetsfan79]

Like Button but by that logic , I can be hired as GM. Not a rocket scientist take (responding to the tweet)

 

[AlphaLackey]

Going into tonight, Hellebuyck was currently 1.3% above the league average SV%; over his 1,683 shots, that's 21.9 more goals than average and (on average) almost 8 points in the standings, putting us in WC5, 5 points behind Nash whose games in hand give us like no chance.

Having said that, a goaltender is just as much part of a team as anyone else. Should Edmonton feel shame because they have strengths in forward and shit in net?

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Plain Jane won us a game. And maybe with a little help from Jenna Jet

Do you ever post your own post game opinions or do you just keep on bringing the opinions of someone else who deigns to not post here?
