Post-Game Talk: Jets 3 - Caps 2 in OT

[Jets 31]

Could happen if vancouver is 8th place and we start the game at 9pm in winnipeg

We played all late games last year except for one afternoon game because we were playing the same day as the Makebeleafs . We had one game start at 9pm at home because of those overrated bastards.

 

[Crocket]

Agreed. From a non Stan....stan....he has been obviously better than Fleury.

Overall, no Fluery is better but Stan played ok last night. A couple defensive giveaways but not bad.

Glad we have Schenn, it was nice watching him hammer Wilson .

Perfetti took a beating, 5 cross checks that should've been called on the play where Nino drew the penalty, good game from him.

Great team effort

 

[Crocket]

I believe Nik wired that right in front of Mr Wilson for good measure. Poor Tom. A coward and a loser

 

[RabidOne]

Thank you for taking one for the team but the first rule of the reverse jinx , is there is no such thing as the reverse jinx!

Aaaw man, you jinxed it!

 

[WolfHouse]

It only took two weeks for this f***ing website to get fixed and let me sign up again. I guess my old account is gone forever.

Stan had a good game but im not convinced. Show me that 3 games in a row and we'll talk.

I dont trust anyone that has double the amount of posts as they have likes.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Agreed. Arniel really seems to have a handle on what makes this team tick. He likes to spread the lineup and force as many tough matchups as he can for the other team. His post game comments on wanting to match up Ehlers against Wilson were interesting. You can’t match Wilson’s size so you get the mismatch you want from speed.

I said pre game, that I didn’t like the looks of his lineup but given our record this year I defer to him. He really is a great coach for this group.

The pass in OT from Samberg was really an impressive pass. From behind the net to the far blueline, bank pass hit Ehlers in stride on the tape. Ehlers still having that gear after playing a minute and a half long shift was impressive too, maybe he wouldn't be completely exhausted after 16 minutes like some people seem to say he would be!

Big win, keep pushing.

That's why Ehlers takes shorts shifts - he's saving it for OT!

If only he played longer shifts and stopped caps from getting any points.

 

[PaulPooley]

That was a massive win and a massive 2 points when they really needed both.

 

[WolfHouse]

Winning is great and all... but Im still bummed out that Innana and Stumbledore didnt just reappear after the site reset and we all kept posting like it never happened... I feel empty inside.

Also why is it so hard to post a gif now haha.

Tenor gifs in particular don't seem to work. Giphy is fine. You can save the image from Tenor and post from your local...that also works.

I'm OK with Stan's play the last 2 games. I think if he can keep it simple and play a low risk game, he can be fine. The best games Stan plays are the ones where you don't notice him.

Would have been nice to get the two clean points and keep Ovi off the score board, but it was a good win.

 

[Saidin]

Look at this. The Caps had 4 men on the ice when Ehlers broke up the open ice.

Oh wait. They actually had 5 guys on the ice…

And they still had 4 guys on the ice when he scored…

View attachment 999548

1 on 3?
1 on 4?
Or 1 on 5?

Nik says “hold my beer!”

Is that the Ref's arm up to the left of Sammy?

Stumbles and Inanna should have dropped this before leaving

 

[wasup]

He's been better than Vanilla McFlurry.

When he plays well he is but the problem is he shits the bed too often .

They're here somewhere, of that I'm sure. Different usernames and different online "personas" but they're here.

Suzanne Somers was pretty hot BTW.

Maybe not. The reset took out some old accounts. Notice that the PI that created the shitstorm is gonzo. On the main boards it could be more dubious. You wonder how many bots exist on a platform like this. Twitter had its before Musk and surely does now. Facebook/Instagram, brutally. You can create internet communities now that are essentially artificial intelligence connecting with one person, in a labyrinth.

I started with Elisabeth Shue.

 

[voyageur]

Team played really well but id still like to see
Kfc-scheif-perfetti
Ehlers-lowry-iafallo

Both perfetti and ehlers had plays that their linemates couldnt finish...

Iafallo did just about everything right on that top line. Go to the net, hard on the board battles, see him up the ice behind Scheifele defending the neutral zone. Probably our most underrated player, with those Copp like defensive chops. Maybe when Vilardi comes back, Scotty will keep him up there in the top 6.

I think that was the worst game I saw Namestnikov play this year, handling the puck. Like he heard footsteps or saw the KGB in the building.

I agree Iafallo had a great game and complimented the first line well.

Yeah, Arniel is doing something I've wanted our coaches to do for a while and that is create balanced lines.

Both Scheifele and KC want to do the driving and creating on line one. Adding another driver in Cole or Fly just gives the line too much of the same thing and reduces the puck touches for all involved. Vilardi and Iafallo aren't drivers. They get in on the forecheck and win pucks and then get to the net where they can finish plays. They cover for some of KC and Scheifele's short commings while bringing size and more so in Gabe's case net front play finishing.

Ditto for line 2 most of the year I that you had two offensive play drivers and a complimentary piece that did a lot of the off the puck work in Namestnikov.

I think Arniel now realizes he can get true offensive drivers on both line 2 and 3 which allows him create 3 dangerous lines which you need in the playoffs.

It's really about trying to balance the lines for Scott.

When Ehlers scored the OT goal, the place went so loud it woke me up. I could even hear it in Switzerland.
