Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Blues 3 in OT, Jets win series 4 -3

[KingBogo]

Short of seeing the Jets hoist the cup on home ice, I don’t think that will ever be topped as far as live sporting experiences in my lifetime.

Still giddy and pinching myself. Is this real life?

I echo that, our tickets are also in the attack zone corner, so the 2 late goals and the OT winner were right in front of us.

Garry Galley is a Leafs stooge. The only thing more sweeter then the Jets going to the 3rd round is Galley eating his words. Fvck that guy.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I can't help but think of how many players just got over a hump in their careers.

Hellebuyck couldn't win the big game until he did.

Pionk, when you think of how last year finished for him, game 5, and the unrelenting wrath he took from so many Jets fans. Without a question he was the best player on the ice last night. Passes were good, he bailed out his d-partner Samberg when he got the yips, which all year long you heard that Samberg was carrying Pionk.

Hayden Fleury came to camp without a guaranteed job, and at times was probably considered for waivers. To have the game he did with Josh out, who was -2 in 3 and a half minutes of ice time, was unreal. Couldn't have predicted that one.

Cole Perfetti, who started the year slow, and a lot of people wondered if he was going to work on a line that was small, or could play on the top PP, and he just kept improving over the course of the season, and came through in the clutch.

Up until the last minute, if the game ended the way it was looking to, I would have said Ehlers isn't a playoff guy. But that was a crazy good pass he pulled out off his knees, when everything was looking lost.

Vladdy, the 2nd line center who couldn't, did it. Got the Jets in the game.

Lowry played over 32 minutes, more than Robert Thomas, and the Jets don't tie the game or win the game without him on the ice. Winning battles, winning position. Pretty good for a 4th line center, as the knock had been on him for years here.

And jeez the Luke Schenn thread got gloomy in this series. But the hits he made last night, every time he hit someone he separated them from the puck. 7 hits for him, 10 hits for Tanev in just under 13 minutes of ice time. Tanev's blocks were unreal, covering up some of Toninato's struggles defensively.

How this team persevered is something special, that we got to witness.

And Connor got 3 points and not even a mention . Not sure how he’ll overcome that.

KC's come up big before. That`s my jersey. For sure it's a big moment for him, especially since he never had a chance to shoot or pass on Binnington in the big mideseason showdown this year.

 

[Thechozen1]

That moment when Perfetti redirected that shots past Binnington into the net …. That’s what it feels like to be ALIVE. Absolute euphoria!

Can’t help but feel pride seeing this group getting rewarded like that.

Let’s have more of these game changing, tide turning moments in our favour over the next couple months.

 

[Thechozen1]

Getting lost in all the chaos of the buzzer beater, the double overtime winner and the beautiful 1st goal by Perfetti is Namestnikov’s goal.

Without that perfectly timed shot getting deflected to bring the Jets to 2, none of this would have been possible.

 

[Hobble]

Anyone have a video of Rick Bowness reaction and comments from TNT?

I just think it’s interesting I mean names gets credit for coming up big on 1st line, then Lowry. Ppl talk about Schief being the number 1 centre being the best offensive player, yet kc keeps driving the bus. Whoever is on his line automatically looks like the first line.

He has been having an incredible playoffs, ppl can talk bout what they want I just think he gets slighted by how little people want to talk bout how good he has been.

 

[HighFlyingJets]

I think you are going to see a lot more 91 jerseys in the coming years

So glad I picked mine up when he made the jump in the NHL with the Addidas jersey (best jersey). Wore that beauty alot this season!

 

[jungles]

That tying goal still makes no sense. The vision by Ehlers on that cross ice pass is insane.

And they were so quick to rip on him.

The guy has 12 points in 7 games, that's pretty pretty pretty ok.

Also my tik tok feed is littered with Blues fans watching the collapse in real time. Just lovely.

 

[GNP]

4th Line Appleton is what this team has needed

Yes agreed on Appleton - 4 th line on the Moose. Jets gotta let him go

 

[PhilJets]

looking back at the back half of the game and OT

collectively the whole team really stepped up. We can’t name 1 player who didnt contribute to the push back..

Pionk Samberg
Fleury Schenn
Demelo

Perfetti Lowry Names
Ehlers Connor
Helly

and the rest finally when pushed came to shove they delivered.
Its not the height and weight
it was the heart

The slide to block shots
the digging of the puck though they are going to get hammered.
The extra gear, specially by Lowry
Pionk is the stud but Lowry he became giant amongst men. He cnat be move our of the puck.

The play of Ehlers and KC to get that pingpong to Perfetti
and Perfetti the presence of mind to be able to get that redirection. Crazy!!! skills

Names goal in game 5 and 7 in the absence of Scheifele


and on and on……

So happy !!!! yahooo

I will never say that kc lacks skill,yes I rip on him but that can be seen as my loss,I stopped watching alot of hockey since la won the cup, the reason for that was a lack of physicality,it was to me wrecking a good game and to see no more battle of albertas or the battle of Quebec,as much as I enjoyed toront chasing Alfredson and hossa or bonk around the rink,or watching Clarke against the Russians I don't want the league to go that far into the weeds,I loved when toronto called up Kurt walker to go nuts on The broadstreet bullies,but I also loved sittler and mcdonald I just couldn't get behind a player with zero grit,but I'm happy kc is doing really well and hope he continues but he's just not someone I pay close attention to,and like I said my loss.

Yes please assign the color guy that completely hates and cheers against our team.

Too bad our series wasn't on Prime.

 

[Jets 31]

That tying goal still makes no sense. The vision by Ehlers on that cross ice pass is insane.

Really hope we re-sign Ehlers, just watching the tying goal segment is unreal. He fans on his slap shot , Lowry gets it right back to him, great play by Lowry by the way, and then instead of just shooting again he fires a great pass to Connor , unreal. Also at the 12 seconds left in the game mark you can see Ehlers turn his head back and up to see how much time is left in the game. Get'r done Chevy.

 

[Jets 31]

is there anywhere where one could watch a replay of the full game?

Well i have the entire game PVR'd, bring milk kahlua, and vodka....

 

[SensibleGuy]

I just watched the highlight reel again. Man...just chills. Watching those first 2 Blues goals and remembering that "well, game over" feeling, and then after we score and they get it back again that feeling just gets solidified. You're just thinking yeah there's no way we're taking this. Then the last couple minutes...just a remarkable event to have witnessed. And Helly made a couple very very big stops in the OT. The sort of saves he didn't make in the first period.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I saw the clip of him talking to Lowry from the panel.
They both looked visibly emotional.

Made my eyes water. Must be dusty in here.

 

[Huffer]

JoMo with both arms in the air.. so much for the shoulder injury idea

Ribs? I doubt he'd be smiling like that with broken ribs if he's lifting his arms like that

Mysterious

Fingers crossed

 

[Howard Chuck]

That must have been incredible!

 

[Guardian17]

 

[Jet]

That makes me emotional.

Also, Ryan Whitney is such a f***tard.

 

[AlphaLackey]

I think you are going to see a lot more 91 jerseys in the coming years

He might still have that baby face and his best playoff beard might be glorified 5-o-clock shadow, but on the ice, the kid became a man this series. When I think about how good he's going to be, I get dollar signs in my eyes.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Randomly came across this game 7 reaction on YouTube. Haha.. this guy's commentary is hilarious!

There is nothing I love more than seeing a newer fan to the game getting into it; watching him appreciate the intricacies in real time. Like yeah, we might take it for granted just how insane the hand-eye coordination and timing on a tip-in is, but watching a newer fan's eyes light up when he sees Perfetti tying the game? That's awesome
