Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Kraken 3 in OT

[Trojien]

What’s in the box? What’s in the f***ing box?

 

[winnipegger]

Now I'm just speechless. Well actually I have a lot to say. The Kraken outplayed the jets although only marginally. I'm so glad it was Ehlers who scored. The team needs him to be a star player. Tough game for Scheifele. He's always looking for offense in the D zone. This game is a chilling reminder that the jets could actually lose a game.

 

[Jets 31]

7 and 0.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Finished watching the 3rd period + OT.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Mrs. Jetson says the OT goal looked more like Ehlers was throwing a curling rock on the ice

She called that the curling puck!

First game that I missed 2.5 periods. Happy to wake up to another w.

Hype train going to rolling into HNIC on Saturday and then if we win Toronto in town on Prime. Exciting times.

Feel like Saturday is good time to put Fleury/Gus back in.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Winning > Losing.

Haven't been able to watch much this week. Could only catch the first period and a bit. Thought it was a pretty even game from what I saw. Glad to see the Jets grab the dub ultimately.

pretty much a game of up's and downs for both teams

Jets struggled quite a bit with puck control and management, but I think a lot of that was due to the way Seattle were pressuring us all over the ice. They played a helluva game.

We're starting to see how Arniels deployment is different from Bowness. He's not afraid to send a message, switch things up, and put players in different positions. I really like it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Kupari sit for the next one. Overall he's been playing well but you can't make that soft chip in your zone when you're under pressure with 6 minutes left and your team up by one. You can see he was trying to retain possession but at that point you need to flip it high and live to fight another day.

If Ehlers stays healthy I think this might be the year he contributes in the post season. Will he be an own rental?

If Niederraiter could keep this offensive consistency up it really will help the team.

Id still love to see what a Nino Vilardi flip would look like for 10 or so games. Nino could help grind and break up cycles that the top line struggles with mightily, as well as getting to the front of the net. Vilardi could give the 3rd line some more scoring punch

 

[Razzle71]

I like Miller a lot. I'm glad he got his chance.

 

[Huffer]

Really nice to win games like this when it doesn't seem like you're playing your A game.

Glad to see Vilardi get one, hopefully that helps get him going.

 

[Moloch]

Ill admit I was skeptical about Arniel coming into the season but after 7 games I'm really liking how dynamic of a coach he is. Bones was a good coach but too much of a stickler, you've gotta think that Arniel saw his opportunity coming before Bones retired, probably way ahead of time. That gave him plenty of time to deduce what worked well and what didn't.

Thats 3 games now where we've trailed after the first, and come back firing on all cylinders (mostly) through the second and third, playing a different game altogether. That is a sign of a coach who identifies when adjustments need to be made, rather than trying to force something out of his team that has an odd chance of working. Sure, its the beginning of the season and we're bound to get cold at some point but starting off strong is giving everyone on the team the confidence to change their game, adapt, and keep it rolling

Sure Vilardi scored but he still looks slow out there and isn’t winning puck battles so he can’t even get the puck to hang on to it in the O zone! Sure not the same player he was last season!

Keep going Sip he's turning it around!

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Good road win. Watched the game on fast forward for the most part but we have played pretty similar for the 1st 7 games which is a good sign. I always thought if this team got special teams going we would be really dangerous

 

[Huffer]

Agreed. I made a similar comment after the last game I think. Vilardi looks to be playing the slowest IMO.

 

[WolfHouse]

Wow i did not expect 7-0... highlights looked like a hard fought game

All lines seem to be clicking - not complaining

 

[surixon]

Yeah, he hasn't really found his game yet. But even then he's more of a complimentary type skilled player anyhow. He's never really been much of an offensive play or chance driver. He's good along board, in the done, and can hold pucks up, but he's predominantly a finisher that is reliant on his linemates to create chances for him.

He scores in the paint with his size and reach in a way we don't have in the top 6 so he has a lot of value. But I put him a clear 5 in terms of all around offensive impact in our top 6.

First of all, I would like to thank @Jets 31 for posting the GDT for yesterday's game (even though he spelled Kraken wrong). Oops...

It was a very long day of driving for me, but I managed to watch the first period before I had to get some shuteye. Seattle looked very good and had the Jets running around and off of their game. It certainly looked like a good test for our guys and adjustments are in order.

When I woke up this morning, I was glad to see that the Jets prevailed and are still undefeated! That's quite and accomplishment, considering the tough opponent they played. I watched the game recap and I give it three "sevens" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Calgary Lames has been posted for your guesses. A big shout out to @Section 325 who will be making the GDT for that game. We are all looking forward to it! See you guys on Saturday...

Some people need to realize the Jets are not going to dominate a game for 60 minutes ... this is the NHL not pee wee.
Two assists ... one of them on the game winner and Scheifele had a bad game???
Let's give credit to Seattle they played a hard good game but came up short against a better team. Jets had total control in the third period ... two good Kraken plays and the game was tied ... sometimes s*** just happens.
Now for team corsi score yes 81/55 were on the ice for 2 goals but was it really their play that lead to the 2 goals?
Pionk makes a long pass that's intercepted and a long stretch pass the other way and a pass to an open man behind the D and the puck is in the Jet's net. The first goal Connor checks the player but the puck goes to Beniers for an unassisted goal on a nice shot.
Scheifele/Connor on the ice for 2 goals against and 2 goals for including the game winner. So this is 7 straight games that 55/81 has not cost the Jets a game.

 

[Buffdog]

The funniest part about starting 7-0 is that as some point, we're gonna eventually lose one... and in my brain I can list the posters that are gonna be saying shit like "see, it's unsustainable for your top line to lose their matchups"

They'd say it even if we end up winning 20 in a row before losing

I have liked KC's game this year. He's tracking back much harder and he's more assertive in winning pucks in the ozone.

Mark was a bit soft on some defensive plays last night though, and there is a reason Arniel elected to have that line sit one shift. They need to dial it in a bit in their end and shorten their shifts a bit. But they are playing pretty solidly as a whole for the most part.

It's really Gabe and the top pairing that need to raise their play a bit. I think everyone else is going pretty well.

I have to say Stanley has settled in well in the third pairing.

55/81 have never been take the body first guys .... they are not power forwards but I can live with that their playmaking is pretty good.
One bad sequence in the 2nd Mark was out for a very long time but it was not totally his fault he had to stay out there while his linemates changed he was on the other ice of the ice trying to hold fort.
The only thing I don't like about Stanley and teams will be exposing it very shortly he doesn't carry the puck he gets it and stands still looking to dish it off. I couple passes yesterday were bad ... passes it 3 feet away when a Kraken player is right there forechecking. I'll chalk it up for now to being rusty.
Speaking of raising their game ... who gets the taking it to the next level award on the Jets ... I like a few Jets, Perfetti. Pionk, Samberg ... the future looks bright.
Maybe the Jets should sign Pionk to one year contracts.

Stan makes me clench. Hope he improves as I liked the look of Fleury/Miller.
