Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - HC 2

[Jets 31]

A 2-2 hockey game was broken open by Vlad Namestnikov making a sneaky good pass that allows Ehlers zone entry with speed, to skate the perimeter, setting up De Melo for a point shot, that Vlad fished out with two guys covering him in front of the net, to set up Perfetti for an open net.

Quietly just getting results, now +16 as the top 6 center.

Very underrated player, i think because he isn't flashy but he does all the little things very well. I'm pretty sure Arniel knows that though.

Hat trick for Cole!
Nice for Gus to get his 1st of the season too, and are my eyes deceiving me or did Ehlers score on a breakaway?!

He did.

And Cole smiled.

 

[kanadalainen]

Almost statistically impossible!

NHL on par with the WWE, the NHL even having their version of WrestleMania with the Four Nations Cup, maybe the NHL can have Michael Buffer do the starting lineups!

Preach brother, you are not wrong.

Almost a poor man's Bryan Little

Ya that's a good comparison or i was thinking Frenchy too.

 

[Jets 31]

Have to watch again.....Actually @sipowicz has to watch again.

 

[Gormo31]

This will almost certainly sound ridiculous, but that Perfetti/Ehlers goal in the 1st reminded me of a Kurri/Gretzky goal with the insane cross ice pass and a quick adjustment one timer

Or Hawerchuk to Maclean.

The difference is that gretz and kurri would do it 4X per game lol

Great adjustment by Cole to get the shot off when it wasn't perfectly in the wheelhouse

Shitting your pants leads to something positive many a time.

HOFer George Brett chimes in...

The Jets have a few seconds over 20 minutes of powerplay time over their past ten games, bottom of the league. Next closest is at 27 minutes. The Avalanche lead the league with 56 powerplay minutes in their last ten.

I don't buy into conspiracy theories, but Bettman has clearly issued the edict to f*** over the Jets!!!

 

[bustamente]

Teams behind the Jets started to creep closer to them lately, I guess the Jets saw this and stepped on the gas. 32 games to go and a 11 point lead on the Avs, Wild falling back and even the Stars who have played very well lately can barely make a dent on the Jets lead

Yeah, but if you take out the first 16 games of the season....

 

[Gil Fisher]

Yeah, but if you take out the first 16 games of the season....

Yeah and if we didn't have Hellebuyck...

I wonder if Ehlers had a tennis racket in the bathroom.

 

[Adam da bomb]

On that first goal of there’s Pionk really missed an opportunity to get it down the ice, before they came in and scored.

Was that the one where he flicked at it at the blue line?

Yeah, but if you take out the first 16 games of the season....

You should make a thread about it

Yep that’s the one.

I have several questions.

Is it common when u have a d like mo to not run third pairing a lot? Is that lack of confidence, considering it’s the same with any combo I wonder if it means they will try to bring someone in order to rotate 3 pairings more.

When Stan turned it over and it hit the crossbar is that partly because ehlers changed too soon as I really didn’t see many outlets on that play.

we are saying alot of Berg’s brain farts are because of his injuries, but, I remember he also didn’t always make the best decisions before the injury but was bailed out by Helly.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

As the article clearly states, we would rank 15th at 5v5 instead of 14th... but as always, you didn't read what you are criticizing.

Yep that’s the one.

That was a cacophony of bad including Appleton peace ing out when we didn't have possession. Neal was in a very bad spot there as his momentum was taking him backwards.

 

[Jet]

I think it's pretty amazing that we continue to win despite the fact that the league hates us having such a lethal pp and isn't giving us opportunities. We'd likely have a couple more wins if that wasn't the case.

It's good for us though as the powerplay isn't winning us games and you can't depend on it in the post season

I think when you have a horse like Jomo you play him a much as he's capable of. Historically, elite defensemen play 26-30 minutes a night, and if you're second pair is also performing well, they're going to take another 18-20 which simply doesn't leave a lot of time for the third pair.

I'd say the Ehlers Stanley play was partially the forwards fault as you need to give your D options, but at the end of the day Stan has to do something better with that puck, even if it's flipping it out.

I think Samberg has had a really steady growth in his game. He used to make a lot of bone headed plays, but in the first half of the year he's really minimized them. Just experience, confidence and the game slowing down for him. The 2 games before last night really looked like young snerg, likely due to rust and maybe soreness in that foot.

If it was Stan we’d have been talking bout play instead of ehlers success.

Thanks for answering all my questions.

I hope we can sign Ehlers.


...for example?

If you shit your pants, you can go home early from work.
