Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Leafs 2

[enuffidiotsalready]

so I'm happy our players don't take 5 minute shifts?!

 

[Snowboy]

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.

It was jammed against the post as players looked and fought for it and Shuffles pocked it in........it may of required a curved stick. it was a good goal.

 

[Moloch]

I would include vilardi in there as well. I’m super impressed with his puck handling abilities in tight spaces and his puck battles in general.


Couldn’t have said it better. My feelings exactly.

Including the “Merry Christmas to all”.

I love when Vilardi scores because its always incredible puck handling. But even when hes getting primary assists and battling along the boards hes a sight to behold. He belongs up there with Scheif and KC just because he sets them up for so many opportunities

Vilardis hands are so filthy in tight whether it be scoring or playmaking. He's not given enough credit for his passing.

 

[WolfHouse]

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

...until this season

Sorry but no way.

 

[WolfHouse]

Sorry but no way.

True, scheif is producing at a significantly higher rate

 

[Jets 31]

Vilardi, Iafallo , Kupari and a second round pick for Dubois, it's the gift that just keeps giving.

 

[Jets 31]

Agreed. Leaf goalie had already made the save and the puck came loose. He wasn't in the act of trying to save the puck so it stands to reason that Mark didn't interfere with any attempt to save. I think Berube said something to that effect after the game - there was nothing to challenge.

I just think Berube thought if i lose the challenge the Jets will score on their PP anyway so what's the point.

 

[Jets 31]

Just also wanted to give a guy who never fights, Iafallo, a atta boy for him not backing down from Domi .

 

[Huffer]

Great way to go into the break!!

He could not challenge that play.
Goalie interference is the only challenge he could use which there wasn’t.
I’m glad the refs let them play because the Leafs sure were falling to the ice easy.
I’m starting too notice that around the league in a few games … players going down too easy to drawn a penalty. Demelo is guilty of that too he’s done it a couple of times … not good.

 

[TheDeuce]

Leafs beat us by two.

We beat them by three.

How deep into the tie breaker do we have to go before Shuffles empty net goal is what gives us home ice advantage in the SCF?

Agree. Vilardi snagging the puck out of midair, settling it down and then making that perfect backhand pass to 55 was absolutely sublime. He’s a wizard in tight and wins his share of board battles. Not a speedster but his cycle game and IQ / vision are a great fit for the top line.

What a way to punctuate the first stretch of the season and set up the next set. Happy holidays all and be well!

I actually liked Scheif's pass more than that goal. One on one with Marner he backs him up until he finds the space for that pass and puts it in the only spot Connor can score in. On his backhand.

Those were some high skill level plays. You can see why Arniel wasn't too keen to drop KC off that line, even though these boards generated some media attention for Ehlers cause early in the season/preseason.

They have their down games, but when they are on that's one of the best top lines in the league.

Ehlers looked like he was shot by a sniper in the high-sticking penalty he drew against Anaheim, LOL

I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty, but I am saying that just because you're from Denmark doesn't mean you have to bring Hamlet levels of drama to the ice.

It's a game of inches that pass was a beauty and resulted in a beautiful goal sometimes thou the pass is a fraction of a second off or an inch off and its a miss with the puck going the other way and sometimes it results in a goal against and people get choked up and blame 55/81.
People need to realize there's good players on the other team and they too can make great plays instead of blaming the Jets.

My take is Arniel had a vision on what the 1st line could be if Scheifele and Connor were matched with a big winger who creates space and wins board battles and has the offensive skills to compliment them. He also had to trust they would all buy into a 2 way game. Right now I’m buying what Arniel is selling.

His pass on schief’s 1st was a beaut.

Frailty thy name is Ehlers - but there is method to his madness!
