Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Mild 1

[AlphaLackey]

I was outraged to hear Djimon Hounsou didn't return to this one to play the same character. The man is 60 years old and looks exactly the same as when he was 30. Use it!

I for one am very disappointed that they didn't let Oliver Reed reprise his role in the sequel. Such woke bullshit amirite?

Hellebuyck was terrific, keeping the Jets in the game for 30 minutes. Then the Jets took over. Impressive how they found their game and kept pushing while up a goal rolling 4 lines. That might be an improvement with Arniel, as Bowness' approach tended to be going into a shell and shortening the bench.

Kupari was terrific. He's using his size and speed and making smart plays with the puck.

 

[Moloch]

Interesting results from this chart.. what do we think?

 

[Whileee]

Jets just kept plugging away and turned the game around.

 

[winnipegger]

Hellebuyck was elite. Jets were outplayed in this game. Although not a ridiculous amount. The wild had an incredible first period then seemed to slow down. I wonder why the wild are all of a sudden elite. They are noticably not their crappy usual selves.

 

[Whileee]

Nino, Namestnikov and Miller... some tidy TDL work by Chevy.

Still wondering why Bowness never gave Miller a shot and forced Stanley into the line-up vs. the Avs.

I felt that aside from a likely goaltending duel the muckers and the grinders were going to be the difference, for either team.

We still haven't beaten anyone ahead of us in the standings.

On to the next one.

Just in case anyone was wondering .977 SV%

Yes. We haven't yet beaten anyone ahead of us in the standings.

 

[Moloch]

Yes. We haven't yet beaten anyone ahead of us in the standings.

were also undefeated against teams that are ahead of us

 

[Whileee]

Jets have now won 11 games by 3 or more goals.

Half the NHL teams haven't won 11 games yet.

 

[Cotton Eye Joe]

foolish to think what you suggested would be an improvement

We'll have to see. Hopefully Perfetti picks his game up this next month.

 

[GNP]

I was very impressed with Rasmus Kupari. With his size and speed, he can really drive the play, and he's a decent playmaker. If he had great scoring hands like Connor, he'd be a super star in this league.. I think his scoring will improve as he gains confidence. He made a beautiful play tonight from behind the net, to set up Iaffalo, for the Jets first goal.

WOW -What a trade Chevy made for PLD - getting Villardi, Iaffalo, and Kupari. Just can't beat that - and I believe he got a second round draft pick to boot? LA'S GM,( Blake) is a very generous man.

 

[FonRiesen]

Wow, Vezinabuyck put on a clinic tonight. Just finished watching... The rest of the team needs to buy him steaks all week.

 

[FonRiesen]

Irrespective of the number of shots, the Wild had a LOT of high quality chances - an average goaltending performance would have seen at least 2 more goals in the 1st, IMO.

 

[AussieBomberJet]

Couldn't watch this one as I was too busy livin' it up on the Gold Coast

However glad the boys sealed the deal in the 3rd.

On to the next!

 

[Hobble]

It is mind bottling that Minny fans call us a goon squad. If that isn’t the pot calling the marshmallow black.

I always get a kick out of that. They parrot that same rhetoric every single match-up. Simps.

The Jets are really good both with and against the empty net. 10 ENGs in 22 games, and 5 GF - 1 GA with the Jets own net empty.

[roccerfeller]

My favourite thing about these has to be Helle yelling “speeeeeech” in the background every single time hahaha

 

[Section 325]

Seriously who really cares how the Jets started. actually the first 2 minutes of the game the Jets had the better zone time right and outshot the Wild right?
The Jets being the top team in the league every team is going to up their game against them.
I feel sorry for the people who can only talk about the first half of the game. The Jets took over the second half and limited the Wild to just 7 shots the rest of the game. You are not going to win too many game with 7 shots in 30 mins.
Those negative people must live a sad life … cheer up the Jets might lose their next game but probably not so another sad day for the Debbie downers.

I think they're the people who we all KNOW would be all over the Jets if they were the team that:

Scored one goal on 44 shots
Got 17 shots in a period and didn't score
Went 0/2 on the power play
Had the losing goalie with a .903 save percentage

"They're mentally weak"
"We get out goaltended AGAIN"
"Trade ________"
"I knew we shouldn't have ________"
"I knew we should have ________"

These people have all the answers but only after decisions have been made. It's so exhausting to have to listen to.

The Jets won. It wasn't a Rembrandt but I'll gladly live with a Picasso.

Winning is better than losing.

Somewhere, Blake Wheeler is beaming like a proud father.

 

[mondo3]

Minnesota announcers said after the 1st that that was the best period they've played all season

Maybe it wasn’t Bones decision and maybe the guy who drafted him
