Post-Game Talk: Jets 2- Sharks 1

[macmaroon]

Another win by the good guys! Having the "mentors" at the game sure boosted the attendance! Morgan Barron does so many things right! I give this game four "Ancient Aliens" out of five...

Not only is the Prediction Contest thread up and ready for your guesses, but the GDT for today's game against the Anaheim Schmucks has also been posted. See you guys later tonight! Good night...

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Not a comfortable game.
I guess you get to win games when you are good enough to avoid the kind of trouble this game created.

 

[Jets 31]

Anyone realize what a win tomorrow means?

(Hint neither the Rangers or Avalanche play)

Pretty unreal that we can be 1st in the entire NHL after we go on a Duck hunt tomorrow night.
Edit Looks at the time, i mean tonight.

Jets dominated in my opinion. Blackwood just made several saves he normally doesn’t.

I'm currently at work on my coffee break. Having coffee and watching the highlights of the game, while telling my co-workers what a heck of a team the jets are.

Most really follow the Swiss national league and watch the NHL casually. They root for Swiss players, especially for the Preds (Josi) and Devils (Hischier and co). The Jets have become a bit more popular as well, friends are now coming up to me and asking me "isn't nino playing for the team you have been supporting for over 10 years now?".

I also have some close friends who are die-hard-hockey-fans. they have been following the NHL for 20+ years and also support their teams with great passion (Ducks, Red Wings). One of them is a former Swiss U20 international player.

To be frank, there weren't that many highlights.

Neji Bird came through! And @lomiller1 !

We love you Nej! Fly freely in the other world my friend.

3 out of 5 John MCLanes

Superb work Jets…Onwards and Upwards!

I had my gal Alexa spinning the game for me from the nightstand and of course I fell asleep. I kept waking up and hearing bits of the game and slowly entered a strange, druggie state were time became weirdly elastic. At some point I heard that it was 2-1 for the Jets with 5 minutes left and I listened for what seemed like hours while the Sharks got one chance after another and I thought "there can't be more than a few seconds left here! Come on let's finish this thing!" and I'm half asleep listening and clenching like a sunuvabitch and then the guy says "2-1 Jets with 4 minutes to go" and I'm like "f***! "

Jets still play down to their opponents level... not sure why

Scheif is not moving his feet - looked like Laine a few times out there... wonder if he's knicked

Get ehlers on the halfwall his setup game is drastically underrated

PK has lost all confidence - need a speed guy out there - #freeajf

Love to see four lines rolling but bones way overplayed jomo-demelo

The PK is playing way to passive, at times it looked like all 4 of our penalty killers were in Helly's crease playing goal. Hopefully they change that strategy very soon.

Not the greatest of the games but good 2 points. Poor puck management by 55 in the neutral and offensive zone, killed a lot of their own plays.

Lowry line looks like they are back. A string of good games lately. Good to see.

Glad that PP got one.

PK looks atrocious. This is literally the reincarnation of Maurice PK from 2018-2022. Today they were more interested in blocking shots than making things difficult for the PP. This comes after Bones' comments a few games ago about blocking shots, seems like the coaches are incentivizing the wrong thing on the PK.

Yeah i have no idea why we employ a passive "sit back and let them set up, pass it around, and shoot at will" powerplay when it seems every other team we play uses a high pressure "make things difficult and dont let them set up" powerplay. Its frustrating.i

I also wonder if appleton is knicked- he doesn't have the speed he had for the first two months of the season

I really liked the copp-connor combo when Maurice used it... would be nice to see something similar for a second pk pairing

Watched the lightning highlights... two guys right in the slot on the PP screening and one D shooting

 

[Mud Turtle]

What about a 4th line player who’s on pace for 18 goals this season? With no pp time.
Has that ever happened before?
My bet is that it’s extremely rare.

So we're back to the PoMo saggy bag defence again? Yuck.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Nice to wake up to a win. Another 2 points in the bank.

GJG!

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

We didn't lose, which is all I asked for.

Keep banking points baby, Need to get the special teams going though, our PK is getting destroyed.

 

[Stumbledore]

Jets dominated in my opinion. Blackwood just made several saves he normally doesn’t.

We had bursts of amazing puck control but were a long way from domination. Too often the Sharks came into our end and we stood still and watched them pass it around. If we'd dominated, they wouldn't have had 28 shots on goal.

I'm never a fan of singling out one player for hating or dumping all over, but has anyone done a correlation between our won/loss record and how often Stanley sits in the press box?

 

[Jets 31]

So we're back to the PoMo saggy bag defence again? Yuck.

It's funny, when we are 5 on 5 we play very aggressive and then on the PK we play goal with Helly , it's completely different. Hopefully the coaching staff starts changing things on the PK in a hurry.

Wheeler's going to grind his teeth... ?

Dubois is going to roll over... stretch and yawn... then return to sucking his thumb... ?

Duuuuuuh...



Bring it on... HFJets would love languishing in first for even one game...

Got up early this morning to watch the game on PVR.

Sharks goaltender stood on his head, but, the Jets still came back to win.

Happy for the win.
