Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Mild 1

[ps241]

Also, one poster said he thought Scheifele maybe hurt his hand or wrist in that fight he had a couple games ago. Would explain why he's not taking faceoffs. He definitely is hurting somewhere, as he doesn't seem quite right. Skating good tho.

That would make sense. He obviously tweaked something if he isn’t taking draws.

I love the fact that our go-ahead goal was partially based on the fact that two Wild players decided to hang back and harass Iafallo.

The trade with LA -- giving them a useless Dubois -- might go down in history as the best we've ever made. Chevy has fleeced a few GMs in the past few years, but getting the Vilardi-Iafallo-Kupari trio plus a draft pick in return for an 8 million dollar paperweight will give the Jets important depth for years to come.

In hindsight, it's turned into an amazing deal for the Jets, but at the time it seemed pretty even. A win-win trade: a 25 year old 6'4" 225lb center coming off consecutive 60 point seasons in exchange for a skilled, but injury prone winger, and two depth pieces.

No Jets fans were celebrating the fact that PLD didn't want to sign here and was forcing Chevy to trade him to a short list of preferred destinations. And no one saw his disastrous 2023-24 season coming. So yeah, it's great fun to watch all the chips fall in the Jets favor, but every GM in the league would've made that deal for Dubois - including Chevy if Dubois was coming the other way.

I think a lot of GMs know that PLD was an inconsistent prima donna. That trade was seen as an LA overpay by many, many people. LA Kings fans were beside themselves with it then and it's still a regular point of discussion on their board.

I don't know , every GM in the league knew Dubois wanted out of Winnipeg so getting as much as Chevy did was amazing.

Yes, another poster thought it was his wrist that got hurt a couple games ago in a fight, which makes a lot of sense, as to why he's not taking faceoffs. Something is not right.

I would say hand or wrist or both, don't think he would be playing with a bad shoulder.

After Scheifele sat for 2min (when they had the double minor) it seemed like he missed two shifts.
I was worried that he was hurt.

Fortunately he played again.
I wonder what that was about.
Kupari took a shift with his wingers.

This wasn't an injury.

Scheifele started the 2nd period in the penalty box because of the coincidental minors with 1 minute left in the 1st.

He couldn't get out of the box until the next whistle after his penalty expired. But there were no whistles from 19:15 remaining in the period (with 15 seconds left in Scheifele's penalty) until 12:55.

So he was stuck in the box for an extra 6+ minutes, during which time Kupari played up with his wingers for a couple of shifts as Arniel had to shuffle the lines.

Great road win.

I hope Helle saves a few of these performances for the post season this year. He spent them all during the regular season last year.
