Post-Game Talk: Jets 2 - Rangers 1

[surixon]

We needed that. Friday is a massive game, need the win to keep Dallas well in the rear view mirror.

I liked Schenn's game, gritty and made the correct and simple plays. A vet that knows his game and what he's capable of.

Fleury was a bit all over the map. Think his game has fallen off a bit after a good start with us. My guess is Stanley is in next game.

I like the play of the rest of the d core tonight as well.

Top line wasn't super noticeable tonight. I thought KC stunk tonight and compounded things by constantly over extending shifts and making sloppy plays.

Second line had a good game. Cole really has gotten his game going the second half. True to junior he gets better the longer the season goes. Namestnikov and Ehlers also really strong.

I'm really digging that fourth line, they just hound and turn over pucks. They also have enough skill to bang some goals in. I forgot what it's like to have an effective shot disturber in Tanev. I've liked what he's brought. So far so good for Barron in the middle.

Third line with typical strong third line game.

It looked like the Rangers really pre-scouted our PP. On the second unit they had a player dropped on Cole and on Pionk knowing everything goes through them. Our top unit also couldn't get anything going until Perfettinwent in for Ehlers and it opened up a different play.

Thunderous hit, short passes to gain clean ice.

Big hit, moves the puck smartly, blocked a shot of two, knows what he can and cannot do, calming influence. Fleury wasn't bad either

The play I like the best was when a Ranger player beat Schenn skated around him but Schenn took him out of the play by driving him into the boards … that’s what a veteran D man brings.

Thanks! Sounds like what the doctor ordered!

Unceremoniously stolen from the Rangers PGT. A bit of a collapse that let Ehlers, Perfetti and Names dance in like this for the goal. Oh well, a win's a win.

That's up there with the flying W.

 

[surixon]

Could someone explain to me how a team can win the high danger chances 12-7 and somehow have less expected goals? Thank you

The Rangers best chances were probably a couple inches closer then ours . It's yet another reason why that stat makes little sense to me.

Was at the game, real playoff feel and intensity to it, especially in the third. Enjoyable watching two of the best goalies in the league dueling it out.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Not our best effort, we really should've smacked these Rangers around but a win is a win, second line was awesome, Schenn was a beast and exactly what we needed on that third pairing, KC and Scheifs though were cheeks, hopefully they get their shit together soon.

Will need a much better effort against the Stars, if we play like we did here they will push our shit in.

Rangers still have a lot of talent on the team, one of the best goalies in the league and they are desperate for points and played that way. This wasn't going to be an easy game by any stretch. Agree have to bring our best against Dallas, though.

Maybe we need a 6 in 5 thread I'm not sure if we're going to make it in.

Great setup by Perfetti on the 1st goal
Rangers play keystone cops
All five Rangers around the net
No one takes out Names

 

[Aggie204]

New Yorks demise is a thing of beauty.

 

[Fatdrunk]

The 3rd D pairing must've done well tonight. didn't even know they were playing

Rangers were putting the D in Defence.

Also, I sort of caught the end of it during the intermission, but shook my head as Sawyer asked Vlad something about the 2C rumors at the deadline.

Credit to him as he rolled with the punch obviously. Guy is so laid back and is just one of so many characters on this team that are so easy to root for.

I would have loved an addition at 2C, and still would for the future -- yet having a guy like that who's going to give you all he has at 2C, 4C, 4th line winger, etc. is just a calling card for why this team is where it is in the standings.

[FiveHoled]

He's an ass on and off the ice

I certainly enjoyed watching him grimace in agony from the box after Ehlers gave it to him!

A well deserved win tonight - in fact, the boy`s deserved an easier time of it based upon their overall play. Jet`s played a structurally sound game and should have had more goals if it weren`t for some really weak finish around the Ranger net. How many times were there complete wiffs on shot attempts, especially by our 1st line.

This team will become really strong if /when Lowry`s line starts contributing like they did earlier this season. it`s almost as though they want Neidereitter to be the digger, puck pursuit guy, with Lowry to position more at netfront so as to be a potential finisher.Even when they cycle down low, it is Lowry who predominantly breaks off to await a passout and potential scoring opportunity. I just don`t think this is optimal given their skill sets.

 

[Northern Lights]

Man what a play on that first goal.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I missed the first 2 periods.
3rd looked pretty good.
Tried to watch Schenn but didn't see a lot of him. A good play on the PK and a big hit. How was he otherwise?
Perfetti was outstanding. He is really coming into his own. Playing with a lot more confidence - and SPEED!

 

[Moloch]

Schenn good. Me like Schenn

 

[Jets 31]

Thought the 1st line was off a little but the rest of the lines played very well. That's what makes this team so good, depth throughout the team. Friday night is going to be a doozy i think, what a great regular season we are having. Now we boogie-woogie....

 

[Jets 31]

this is probably the weridest gdt of the season lol

On that we agree

Plain Jane GDT's have that effect on some, your welcome.
