Post-Game Talk: Jets 2 - Kraken 1

[bustamente]

4/5 Skeletons tonight, again I will say I hate close games like tonight against a team the Jets should beat especially on home ice, anyways Nik was moving his feet tonight, nice of Smoke to end it, Helle had a light night, 4 lines keep being sent out and it works, first period blahs still a thing. Winning how ever way you do it is fun. 65 points from 46 games is pretty good I hear

Great patient win, Jets just stuck to their game vs a team that was playing well.

Great gutsy win

I loved how Seattle played tonight. I know it was low scoring but it was a really well contested game. Seattle was playing fast and really hard on pucks and didn’t give us room like Vancouver did. Our team had to level up which they did and it was a fun game to watch.

DeMelo with the close shave.

how I felt about watching this game.

 

[Bender Duster]

I didn’t get a chance to see this one but appreciate reading all the post game analysis. Sounds like we were up against a hot goalie tonight.

 

[Cotton Eye Joe]

No star for Helly? Or chef getting first goal.

Nope. Your favourite Ehlers the best player tonight.

What an ending to the game! I thought for sure that it was heading into overtime. Boy did I scream when DeMelo scored! Jets were pretty "meh" in the first period, but poured it on after that. I give this game four "Robert Stacks" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Lames has been posted for your guesses. A big shout out to @Section 325 for volunteering to make the GDT for the game. We are all looking forward to it! See "y'all" on Saturday! Good night...

Apparently the guy giving out the stars agrees with you. I generally see the guy who put up goals as more valuable than assists in the game.
Ultimately doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks what matters is jets won.

Best line on the ice tonight: Ehlers, Lowry, Iafallo.

 

[KingBogo]

That was a top of the food chain win. A bit of a slow start against a pesky team, but we gradually took control and cemented it late. No panic, no cheating for offense, everyone just kept to the plan.

I wonder if that stays together when Apples comes back

I'd stick with the current line, but wouldn't shock me if Apples goes back with Lowry and Nino.

 

[Hobble]

This has been a great home stand, 4 -1 -2, now for the cherry on top against the Flames

Cherries jubilee!

 

[bustamente]

Just a tick under 14k to watch a tight game at CLC tonight.

 

[Hobble]

I wonder if that stays together when Apples comes back

If the lines keep motoring like they are, why not just move Appleton to 4th line?

Good depth to have.

Playoffs are all about depth because of injuries.

Congrats to Smoke on the GWG in game 600. Keeping the good times rolling.

Can't mess with that 2nd line right now. Everything about it works. Speed. Ehlers being able to control the perimeter. Size. Lowry wins the battles. Smarts. Iafallo has a nose for the net, and that's what makes him more effective than Appleton on that line.

In a one goal game special teams is the difference. The puck movement on the PP is such a beauty to watch.
Seattle's a tough opponent for the Jets.

Good call to start Hellebuyck. 2 points richer for it.

 

[bustamente]

Win looks even better as both the Stars and Avs lose

 

[Larabee]

Coil beat Avs. That’s two nights in a row I’ve been forced to cheer for them. I need spiritual healing

Typical Jets move would be putting Apple back with Lowry and Nino but I think the current configuration has been too good to ignore. Don't see any reason why Appleton and Namestnikov can't take Gustafsson and Toninato's spots. Maybe swap Vladdy and Kupari but I think we stick with the top six as it is.

Very well deserved win.
