Post-Game Talk: Jets 3 - Hawks 1

No, I don't need to be, but I often remind myself of the quote from Some Famous Male who once said: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt."
And in happier news: regardless of how the night ends, we are STILL in third place in our division and STILL in sixth place in our conference. Plus I have the most gorgeous bow-tied cat to add to my screen saver collection.
Time to hit the showers. Okay, shower. We only have one of them.

Congrats on the first career point for Chiz whiz. Thought he was gripping the stick a little too tight but he settled in as the game wore on. He's earned a second game in the lineup as far as I'm concerned.
I think you hockey comments are actually pretty good and observant.
I like Samberg very much but today he was a give away machine and was the sole cause of the Hawks only goal. I don’t think it was one of his better games.

I was at the game. I liked Chisholm, especially early on. He had some good shifts and helped the Jets sustain pressure. Also, he's got wheels, he was always buzzing.

A win is a win is a win. More goals would have been nice.
The Hawks are one of the leagues weak sisters but as I've mentioned and was alluded to earlier here there are no easy outs in the NHL. If you let a weaker team hang around they may sneak up on you and beat you.
Bedard is very good, a generational talent as they say but dare I say, tongue in cheek of course that the Jets are developing their own generational talent in Cole Perfetti. He has been incredible thus far.
Need KFC to score. It's been 6 games now. Nearing "bust" territory.
Morgan Barron getting one on what I think was mentioned was his birthday is nice. I hope to see him further up the lineup one day as I think there is so much more there that is difficult to showcase in 4th line minutes and with the typical responsibilities a 4th line has.
Helle not overly busy but made the saves he had to.
On to the next one. Virtually identical record to Carolina. Let's hope Monday night is win number 2 in a row of a 60 game win streak.

I was at this game, too.
A much better effort by the Jets overall and no faux pas from Hellebuyck.

I think we oughtta give Chisholm (first game of the season) and Vilardi (2nd game in 7 weeks) a bit of grace
Not only does it take time to acclimate to the physical demands of NHL play, but being able to read the game at the speed needed takes a bit of getting used to also

Needed the win - especially against the Hawks.
I thought the top line could have scored 4 or 5 tonight - very unlucky.
Perfetti had a nice game - he looks so much more confident out there - he's starting to show is pedigree.
Vilardi looks more comfortable - not sure where he lands but he'll make that line a lot better - looks like his shot timing is still off a bit and to be expected.
47 is silky smooth out there - very refreshing to see a dman that can lug the puck and make a few plays on his own. Great skater and good puck handler from this small sample but encouraging. The question is, can he defend - get him in against a couple of teams that can test him.
The third line simple ran Chicago over - not much finish there but they were more than the Hawks could handle
Helle had the night off - which is good.

That was a fun game to be at. It was nice to get a convincing win to end the little skid.
Bedard is going to be a special player. He's really got it all except blazing speed. Sick hands, an amazing shot and he's a very good passer. That backhand seam pass was a thing of beauty.
Helle was great again in net.
JoMo/DeMelo: The pair had a good night. They played a strong two way game. JoMo was looking very good activating.
Pionk/Dillion: Thought Pionk wasn't quite as good as he has been lately but the pairing was still solid.
Snerg and Chisholm had a good night. I'm happy Declan got his first NHL point. I also thought he acquitted himself very well. There were a couple of defensive hiccups but otherwise he was sound in his end. I like that he knows who he is and plays his assertive game with the puck. Showed some good puck rushing and breakouts. I think he's definitely earned another game. Snerg was his usual defensive self.
Top line generated a lot of looks but couldn't get anything to fall 5 on 5. Ehlers with a nice assist just after a pp, he was skating and creating havoc all night. Mark with a nice goal and a sound all around game. KC didn't quite have his hands and finish but still was playing hard.
Second line: I thought this group got more comfortable as the game went on. It will probably take another game to get more in sync with there reads. I liked the hybrid center thing they had Cole and Gabe doing. I think some suggested it this summer. Cole got a goal and there were a couple of near misses as well. They were good defensively and can build off of it.
Third line: Hemmed the Bedard line in their end most of the game and had a couple of looks. They got beat for a GA on a favorable bounce for the Hawks. Their shooting has cooled off bit.
Fourth line: Thought if we had a weak line this was it. They didn't generate much and gave up a decent amount. Barron got a nice goal on the makeshift third line after the PP.

I liked what I saw today. A few thoughts:
G-Helle is really rounding into form, as reflected by his save% these past half-dozen starts. A big improvement from previous seasons is his puck handling--much more confident and competent
D-Morrissey continues to play at a Norris level. Pionk and Dillon are improved from last year. I watched Chisholm closely today and thought he showed very good poise and decision-making to complement his great skating skills. There is no doubt that that he is NHL-ready and ahead of Stanley (and Schmidt) on the depth chart.
F-For reasons that I don't completely understand (but have opined about in his thread) Scheifele is once again playing consistently like a top-10 C in the league. If he keeps this up, it means the Jets now have a top-5 goalie, top-5ish D and top 10C, which is the basis for any legitimate contender. Add in a healthy Ehlers and Vilardi and we have incredible talent AND depth in our forward group..

My ninety year old mother didn't like the start of this game, but she came around once the Jets started to score! She gives the game three cheers out of five...

Just got back from the game with my woman.
I thought the Jets were good.
Nice to see the arena almost full.
Looks like my evening will be occupied!

A pint of dark matter, please.
I was wholly impressed with Chizz' patience and decision making with the puck, as well as his agility and edgework. I want to see more of him.
Idk I was against having 27 55 81 but I feel like they could be a possession menace. It probably does make more sense to spread out our a bit though, I don't really know who will work with 13 and 91, though I suspect 9 might be a good fit given his history with Gabe.
There were periods of the game where the Jets were kind of globetrottering the Hawks, loved to see it.

I'm so thankful my pgt feed is clean.
Not that I’m against a few “third party add-ons” during foreplay, but I hope all your kitchen utensils are fully sanitized.
