Jets 4 Sens 2

[LowLefty]

That Stan engaged one guy in the front of the net and it was the second guy who scored who the other d didn’t engage.,

Pretty tough to take on two guys at once - he had to play the pass - unfortunately, it got through

 

[tbcwpg]

Decent win, felt about 50/50 with the play, Soogaard was the difference in a bad way.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Sometimes they miss on those blocks - the advantage is always with the passer who can wait you out or shoot for the holes.
I would have liked to see him block that one - but those are tough and I wouldn't call him out for missing in that situation

Heinola have blocked it.

 

[KingBogo]

Just got back from dinner in Mexico and saw the score. Headed over here to get the breakdown.

Winning >>> losing.

The Sens hung tough, pretty even game, but the Jets skill and goaltending was the difference. Enjoy the sun!

 

[LowLefty]

Heinous have blocked it.

Of course he would have - probably would have covered them both while he was at it

Notice the play, Stan, and the forward that is NOWHERE near the play. He's not even an offensive threat. Stan has to have that. Kupari is floating around there near Stutzle, and DeMelo is floating to the point with Namestnikov. No one's in great position there, but there's only one dangerous passing play that they could execute, which they did.

Stan's basically alone with 3 guys below the dots

If Stan is consistently able to stop that on his own he is not a bottom pairing, but, in our top 4.

Heinola would also have turned it into a shorthanded goal.

 

[DharmaBum]

Some basic stats. Ottawa got half of their shots (18) in the 3rd.

First line with 5 combined points tonight, plus 1A from Morrissey.

Don't praise MacLean, Scheifele and didn't know Scheifele was a religious man, "know that there's a plan for everything...and trust in God"

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Just got back from the game. I'm now 3 for 3 when attending a game this season.

Jets should invite me to all the home games so we won't lose.

If you watch the video replay, Stutzle does an amazing job of circling up high and only drifts into the back door for a split second

One could make the argument that Kupari should have collapsed with him down low

But at the end of the day, it was as pretty of a PP goal as the one that we scored. Sometimes the other team just makes a great play

It would never get called out if it wasn't Stan - anyway you look at that play, we were doomed

Again, there's only one dangerous play that could have been executed at that time, which was straight through Stanley. He wasn't alone with three guys below the dots - Namestnikov was there too.

 

[Shlep]

Don't see any reason to blame Stan for much tonight, he was decent.

Top 6 was dominant tonight. Perfetti is playing with a ton of confidence lately.

 

[LowLefty]

Names is close but above the play - and he's a spectator - not sure why he didn't pick up the right side on the play - who was he covering? The points were already covered.
Don't want to get into the blame game too much in a PK situation but it looks to me like we got caught high on that play and Stan was in a tough spot.

 

[Buffdog]

Tkachuk was on his forehand. If Stanley moves to Stutzle, he walks into the slot uncontested.

Also a dangerous play

In a perfect world, Stan gets a piece of that pass. But I file it under "a play he could have made" instead of "a play he should have made"

It's like a goalie getting beaten cleanly by a shot from the top of the slot

 

[macmaroon]

The Jets started off slow, but came on strong at the end to shut up Galley. Man that guy just hates us, but then again, we hate him back! Some pretty awesome passing plays, but sometimes one too many passes, when a shot should have been taken. Anyway, it's a win and we will take it, I will leave the complaining to others. I give this game four "Munsters" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against Trashville has been posted for your guesses. There are still plenty of games without a GDT creator, so here's your chance to shine! See you on Monday! Good night...

I mean he is a bubble player, but I do blame him for my taxes.

Well, they've only lost 3 games at home all year, so that's no surprise.

If you can guarantee that record for the playoffs I will personally pay for your tickets and popcorn (but not beer--I can't afford that).

 

[razorsedge]

Looks like I got all three right in the prediction thread this time. Missed the entire game though.

Oops, not the first goal in the game.

He shouldn't have moved to Stutzle, either. He should have gone down low to block the pass from Batherson. Remove the cross crease and slot option and force the pass back to the point or back to the half wall. It was a pretty passing play, though.

 

[Bender Duster]

Full disclosure: I didn’t see a single play at all tonight, so from my vantage everyone played great.

I’d say enjoy the win tonight, dissect it tomorrow.

 

[DharmaBum]

I don't blame Stanley on that first goal. He did try to block the pass by going down to one knee. It was a tic tac toe play that was executed very well by Ottawa. A goal like that gets scored all the time in the NHL against every Dman, from scrub to All-Star.

 

[LowLefty]

Oops, not the first goal in the game.

Not easy being perfect

 

[chaos4]

Not the best start, but the 3rd was great!
Then Ovi finishes off the Leafs
Beautiful!
Makes me as a happy as these pictures do.
We won gma!

 

[Bob E]

Heinola struggled again tonight I thought. Not sure what they do with him when everyone is healthy. Not sure what his trade value is.

 

[Moloch]

Didn't expect to see Colin up there in the second spot. Could only watch the highlights, did he have an insane game or what?
