Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Leafs 2

[Gm0ney]

And here I have been told over and over again how we have turned to shit over the last 10 games.

Jeez, it seems like just a couple of games ago the Jets were an unconvincing 5-4-1. I guess the real winner here is recency bias...

As always lol

Solid road win vs a top 10 team, did they have injuries yeh so what, not like we haven’t either and no one was less harsh on our loses when we had injuries. All teams go through injuries and keys injuries, Leafs & Jets included. Good win

 

[Flair Hay]

Top line, well what can you say. What a couple of games for them

 

[bustamente]

Maybe Mathews needs to go back to Germany for more work, well at least we don't have to listen to SN/ TSN telling us 24/7 he is going to score 70 goals.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Blocked a shot suffered a broken foot

Right, now it comes back to me.

 

[jetsforever]

KC and Scheif are playing hot right now
Let's keep this momentum up after the break!

 

[RabidOne]

They haven't played great recently and were without Tanev, Matthews and Stolarz (who's been excellent this season). I'd like to think we'd be rational on here if the Jets lost against a top 5 team without Morrissey, Scheifele and Hellebuyck.

Tanev is good, he is not and never has been Morrissey.

 

[Jets 31]

Really happy with the recent play, but I don’t think anyone can consider us a favorite, when we cannot beat Vegas.

I don't know how anyone can't have us as a favorite right now, we are the number 1 team in the NHL .

 

[roccerfeller]

Well played game, and I'm going to say it... I thought the officiating was pretty good.

Same here. Solid officiating by refs. Toronto fans will probably disagree but they would complain about anything. They disappointed us im our building, now they can disappoint their fans in their building too! Lol

Loved the game, and beating the Leafs is always an extra special and appropriately festive feeling

 

[roccerfeller]

The jacket exchange never gets old. Great bonding ritual.

I love Helle always yelling “speeeeeeech”

 

[roccerfeller]

Looks like Heinola will get an extended look.

He was excellent

Outlet passes so smooth and clean. Some of the best in a jets uniform since enstrom.

 

[Duke749]

What the heck was the deal with so many players falling down?? Haven’t seen that that often.

 

[AnonoJet]

I don't know how anyone can't have us as a favorite right now, we are the number 1 team in the NHL .

Vegas has a better point percentage, and they continue to own us. But I guess ‘a’ favorite makes sense, but not ‘the’ favorite.

I’m not negative nor do I hate the team.
They are having another great regular season, until they make noise in the playoffs it’s not wrong to say I’m reserved in my opinion of what defines success.
I didn’t see this pace coming

Yup it's all about the playoffs with this team the regular season they are having is phenomenal but for this team the real season starts with the playoffs and what they can accomplish.

It’s not about the playoffs for me anymore.

Regular season starts in October and ends in the spring so it is really here to take us through our winter months. It’s 82 games of ups and downs. The tournament in the spring for the cup is that thing you hope for once in your life but honestly it’s so far fetched I have decided to not worry about it anymore. If it happens it happens, if not then so be it. Playoff hockey is often just a week or two and it usually sucks for us.

Expectations are the thief of joy.


Yesterday was a great day to be a Jets fan as a stand alone event. I have let go of having how we do in the spring tourney impact my journey.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays all.

 

[CorgisPer60]

At some point, we're going to have to admit this team is a plurality favourite to win the cup.

Maybe another month at first overall and top quartile on the sports book tote boards will convince the world?

I don't want them to pay attention to us. It won't mean anything if we don't get out of the first round.

Tanev is good, he is not and never has been Morrissey.

No but he's their number 1 D so it's just for comparison purposes. Scheifele is no Matthews either.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

I was busy yesterday afternoon and just finished watching the game. Is there a better #1 line in the league? That was fun to watch . Merry Christmas to the HF Jets community.

That third goal should have never counted, but other than that it was pretty decent.

 

[Johnnucleo]

Nevermind another Vezina, can we include Hellebuyck in the Hart conversation this year? I mean, is he not the perfect example of Most Valuable to his team?

 

[bustamente]

Leafs have a problem in net now that Stolarz is injured and they are going to have to depend on Woll to carry the majority of the games until he comes back

 

[Jets 31]

I don't know, the ref was standing right there and obviously saw that the puck was still loose. I would agree with you if the ref wasn't standing right there.

I want to see him do it in the playoffs. I know the Hart is a regular season trophy but at this point, performing in the playoffs and winning a championship is all that is left to measure with this group.

It was between his pads and underneath. Schiefele essentially dug it out - if that was us we'd be livid.

I managed to get the game in and have another go at it before bed, and the difference last night was striking. Compared to the last 15, 16, maybe 17 games, the way we played was night and day. There was so much more effort, so much more give a shit out there.

One play really stood out to me: one of our players, without a stick, dove in our zone and managed to scoop the puck all the way down to the other end. Not only that, but he curled it perfectly so it didn’t go for icing. It’s these little moments that I watch for throughout the game—the moments that tell me where our effort level is at. Are we locked in? Are the players’ hearts in it tonight?

I’ve got to say, when the Jets are focused on the details and giving it everything they’ve got every shift, they’re probably the best team in the league right now. I’m happy to say that. But they’ve got to keep this kind of effort going. They can’t start coasting, buying into their own hype, and think they can cruise into the playoffs. That just won’t cut it.

I want to see him do it in the playoffs. I know the Hart is a regular season trophy but at this point, performing in the playoffs and winning a championship is all that is left to measure with this group.

Yep. No excuses from Helley this post season. If he plays at this level there really is no good reason why we shouldn't make it to the Cup finals
