Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Sharks 3

[JetsFan815]

A tightly fought battle where they squeak out a win is about what I expected from this game considering where the team has been since the 15-1 start. I think my expectations for this team are pretty well calibrated at this point.

got the win, 1st line was the only line that played good the whole night, need ehlers back to drive that second line, I don't expect the 4th line to score much but they at least need to establish the forecheck again, apparently knocking sticks out of peoples hands is no longer a penalty

Very questionable officiating indeed. The first line had a good game, pp was on point with 2 but you are right lines 4 and 2 were issues. Lowry had a monster last 7 minutes to seal the deal

Such a wild run and gun style game that was a bit of a wobbly effort at times, but there were some definite highs and lows.

Our power play was a dizzying high because...wow, was it impressive tonight. Our defensive play was a real low. Hellebuyck was pretty average too but he has earned all the slack in the world as far as I am concerned.

The Sharks were no pushover so they deserve some credit here.

It's not that I'm disappointed in Stanley, because I think we all know what he brings by now, I'm just so confused of why he's still here. This was another night where he made several dreadful, lazy plays, the likes of which any other player would be heavily criticized and probably benched for.

I just don't get it.

On to Disneyland with the Mom's.

Agreed Sharks are better than their record and/or match up well against the Jets but it is perplexing that Stanley has become a fixture given as you said his lazy play which I say is not lazy but he is just slower than 99.9 percent of the other players.

For people complaining that we "only" won 4-3... in the past two weeks, SJS have beaten Washington and "only" lost 3-1 to Florida and 3-2 to Carolina

Aside from an 8-1 blowout loss to TBL, almost all their losses in the past month or so are by a goal or two

So in other words, this isn't a team that gets wrecked night in and night out

Check your expectations
