Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Bruins 1

[LucianoBorsato]

Man I love beating those original 6 teams with their legions of fans. Not only beat them, but then wiped their faces in it.

It's the best feeling. Same with the Oilers invaders

If the Jets keep on playing the way they are it looks like CLC will be the place to be after the break into the New Year and during the playoffs. That was a really good crowd tonight that seemed to be having fun

So much fun. Last season I thought I was attending a funeral some games

 

[surixon]

We absolutely shit kicked them tonight. Dominant win and a great way to start the holidays. Really happy I was there to see it live.

Who would have thought motion on the PP would open up seams and create grade A chances. Both goals scored due to the puck carrier creating a lane with their skating. Perfetti put on a qb clinic that last pp. He was all over the ice and taking the free space and exploiting the Bruins gaps. The one time the 1st unit got setup it was more of the same passive play. Scheifele and Ehlers need to move with and without the puck. The second unit showed how they need to do it.

Everyone played an excellent game!

Happy holidays everyone!

I can't believe it took this long for some of you who call yourselves Jet fans to believe in this team.
23 games in a row only giving up 3 goals or less ... 12 games vs the east this year ... zero regulation losses 9-0-3. Seriously Jets are for real and yes they are going to lose and have bad games but in the end they are a SC contender.

I have been watching the Jets since Day 1 in the WHA in 1972, but I don't think I have ever...EVER...seen them play as well defensively as they're playing right now.

I think defence was against the rules in the WHA wasn't it?

 

[TheBuyckStopsHere]

22 games in a row and counting. If you know, you know.

KFC who? We got us Vivaldi and Nino.

No No No its Pierre WHO?!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I've been PO'd at Jets for losing a few games to bad teams - but if taking an occasional rest against weak teams is what they need to beat the good teams I can live with it.

 

[ThinIce61]

Just as I predicted - changing things up and leaving the Bruins wondering how they just lost so bad.

I genuinely have no idea how we can improve beyond what we’re doing. This team has it sorted out and is scary good.

Well, we do need to figure out how to beat the stars and the F*** Vegas team. Need to put the seed of doubt in those 2 teams at least as we'll play one at some point if we make the playoffs and hope to go a ways in them.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Just a thought that occurred to me in the third - with all the talk about players not wanting to come here, I bet there are players on other teams thinking, I wish I was a part of that team.

Jets are doing it as a TEAM. No superstars, all team. No passengers either.

I don't know if they will be able to maintain it or not but right now it is something special.

Go Jets Go
And Merry Christmas to all.

fixing our speical teams would be the answer

 

[ThinIce61]

1st in the Norris and 5th overall.

4th in goal differential.

3rd in GAA

The jets are Feeling it. Not doing the meme. Too lazy.

Not sure if that’s true. Morrissey and Helly seem like superstars.
Also peg is still pretty low on places after all players want a life outside hockey.

 

[surixon]

Yup, Helle top 3 at his position and JoMo top 5 st his are among the elite of the elite.

 

[kanadalainen]

Lovely stuff.

I was at a gathering with a bunch of friends, but some kind soul put the game on about 5 min into the second period.

What a great game... another stellar performance by the first line. Vilardi continues to slay. JoMo with a nice game.

Lowry with a nice goal, and Nino playing great in front of the net. Helly is super solid.

Lots of fun to be a Jets fan these days!!

 

[kanadalainen]

Coelacanth of the game:

#62 Nino Niederietter

2 goals and an assist

Big presence in front of the net.. a great game.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Jets have stars. Scheifele, Ehlers, Helle, Josh, Vivaldi, KC, but no SUPERstars. No one who has to carry the team. Any one player can have an off night and the rest will bail him out. How many games did they win earlier this season with weak goaltending? It wasn't every time the goalie was weak but it was most of the time, just for example. And how are they doing without their top goal scorer?

 

[SSCBLUEJET]

OMG winning is fun !!
Thanks Jets

 

[Larabee]

Merry Christmas to you all. Go Jets Go!

Don’t fck with us. We are a top team. Everyone else are bums.

They also want to win - and who wants players that value where they live above that (PLD comes to mind).
I think the Jets can attract more talent as a winner - and they'll attract the right type of player along the way.

 

[buggs]

At game tonight,sitting in 206. Lovely view of a stellar performance. not gonna lie, nervous. Best Jets game all year, like wow. Bruins fans had nothing to take away.

Bravo boys, thanks for the most excellent Christmas gift.

Absolutey hammered.

 

[jetsforever]

Was hoping to go but ended up not even watching - sounds like it was a good one though!
Good to go into the break with a big win

 

[bustamente]

Old Jack didn't even make to Winnipeg to watch his beloved Bruins get throttled. Alex Faust handled the pbp on NESN. Faust did the Kings pbp last year but was let go when they decided to cut costs and have TV and Radio synced.

I don’t know how important winning is versus all the rest of it for them. For instance, if they have wives, players often start families early, then the wives happiness is just important as job satisfaction or they will be driven crazy.

And how are they doing without their top goal scorer?

They are not relying on any one person if that’s your point, but, Helly’s stats up to this point make him a superstar and one of the top at his position in the league.
Kyle Connor like Ehlers are great, but, not sure if they’d ever make a top 7 list.

 

[GNP]

Is our 4th line more noticeable than our 2nd?

The reason for that is Iafallo doesn't belong on the 2nd line, just not good enough. Plug in Connor on that line, and then you have a great 2nd line, and put Iafallo on the 4th line. Either that, or you move Nino up to the 2nd line, but that will weaken our 3rd line ? It's a concern tho.

Had my kids game last night, got home late and have watched the game up to Vilardi’s goal in the second.

Thoughts.

Most fans (me included) tend to over value offence from forwards and WAY undervalue defence from forwards. Jets now have the best set of defensive forwards we have ever had. 12 guys including 55 all buying into the system. The coaching staff hasn’t gotten better but CHEVY REPLACED 40% of his forward group starting last trade deadline so the parts are so much better defensively (system friendly). Combine that with the best most complete version of Mark Scheifele and we officially have team buy in and alignment.

D core is playing so well now that they are finally supported by great team defense. That is causing the team to play so fast at evens.

We will have our good nights and bad nights, our hot streaks (now), and cold steaks, but as long as this group stays committed and bought in, we are going to be a load. Last night’s game was a thing of beauty (so far).

Depth at forward is such a treat. 3rd and 4th lines are a joy to watch. We are a pack of wolves.

Last point. Helle has looked phenomenal lately even by the high standard we hold him to. So what’s up with him handling the puck so well this season?

This is about as good as it gets.

Well done Chevy
