Yea I know, but the poster I was responding to specifically asked what the record was over the last 6 games.Actually the Jet's record in the last 7 games is 6-1 ... not bad for a team that many predicted they were going to crash.
I've read your comment several times and I'm still having trouble parsing it.
When we play badly or inconsistently, isn't it always self-inflicted? If we're playing badly, then we're bad, regardless of how the other team plays. If we're inconsistent, it's not because of the other team it's because we've 'chosen' to be inconsistent. We can play badly and win, we can play really well and lose. But it's always self-inflicted.
Also, aren't all lines and partnerships predecided? Players don't go out to start a game and call out 'Hey, who wants to play with me?' or 'Anyone want to be my wingman?' Someone, presumably the coach, decides before the game starts who is going to be on a certain line. I don't understand why you would say "not sure certain lines...have to be predecided." If the lines are not predecided, you're going to have chaos.
Weren't there a ton of (non-stop) complaints over the past two years, about Scheifele's play? Guess which guy he wasn't playing with the over those two seasons?
I'd love to see KFC on the 2nd line, just to see that how he'll continue to produce in that spot (as he always has), yet people will still say stuff like "he needs everyone doing everything for him". Whether it be Scheifele, PLD, Stastny, or Little, it doesn't matter. None of whom ever had a +100 point season in the league I might add (nor 90).
FFS, a certain Jets "FAN" (wink wink) was making all the excuses in the world why Connor's two primary assists only happened because of X, Y, and Z. Who does that? They were PRIMARY assists vs the #1 team, and they both came in the 3rd period!
I love Scheifele, but I can think of a number of other centers in the league that KFC can play alongside, and put this debate to bed.
This is what I'm saying. Just to be clear Jack, I'm not making the argument that he HAS to be on the top line, but I think it's high time it gets some praise for producing with whichever center he's playing with. The Jets might be 1st in Goals Against, but are 20th in Goals For, and despite Connor missing all of that time, he's still leading the team in goals scored.If Connor would continue to produce on the second line then it's extra stupid that he's attached at the hip to Scheifele since that line only breaks even on the best of days.
I'd love to see him go on a tear on the 2nd line, IMO some of his best hockey was played next to Dubois.
The NHL is a marathon, you have to pace yourself. ( a good example is the Jets 2017? playoff run. They came in exhausted.)A masterful game where the Jets didn't spend 1 calorie of extra energy nor effort than they needed to clinch the win.
No kidding. Western teams with worse records of the Jets over the last 10 games. Dallas, Avs, Canucks, LV and Oilers. I guess they are also all shit as well?
The past 2 games probably would have been easier if they played team defense. They regularly shut down teams when they got a lead. The answer isn't more goalz. It's playing the hockey they were playing before, playoff type hockey.
Why to show that he can’t produce after the NHL tightened up after the Christmas breask. What exactly has Perfetan shown before at 2C that warranted another look, too small and too slow!Monahan being sick was the perfect time to put Perfetti at 2C. They were only playing the Coyotes so it's not like it was game one of the playoffs.
Lovely stuff.5 and 1 baby!!!!!!!
Liking the painting analogies rampant.But it's still OK to celebrate wins. Someone once said that not all games will be Picassos. Sometimes you'll have a paint-by-numbers, and sometimes you'll put up a finger painting.
Yes sir.Not a perfect game but we got the win, don't know why people don't want to give Arizona a little credit for playing good
