He is right the Jets destroyed the Yotes on all the underlying 5-5 metrics.
Yeah 55 had a bad giveaway but that is a once in a season type play. 81's background levels soft plays and losing coverage is more frustrating. I am trying to be objective with Connor here as I realize once you start noticing nitpicks about a guy's game you can't stop noticing them and maybe overweight them but still. He had one good defensive play tonight that I'll call out where the puck was loose in the slot and no one near and a charging Yote and he poked it away before he could get to it.Not making excuses for Scheifele but, Connor is like playing short handed out there right now. Yeah he had the bad giveaway but he made some good plays also. KC just sucks so bad defensively 55 and Iafallo get caved lots. SH really with KC on the ice. Split them up and 55 will get better.
The problem with breaking up KC and Scheifele is how, neither is going to the 4th line and the 2nd and 3rd are playing pretty well. Ride it out until Vilardi comes back and go from there
More likely the Vegas bug....arniel mentioned that toni took the warmup because a bunch of forwards felt off, hope we don't have the flu bug going around like last season
More likely the Vegas bug....
OK, so who are we shitting on right now? Schief or Connor? Just trying to keep things straight

It maybe time to split them up till Gabe is back even if it is just to give them a different look.
3rd line is untouchable. But you could break up the 2nd line. They have been good esp in the advanced stats but not so good that you can't change anything there. It might be worth it to do it for bit even if it just so you have an idea of what that looks like in case you need to try different combinations later in the season due to injury or other reasons.
Yup. That’s how it rolls. If you have a couple bad games off with your head. A couple good games let’s get rid of other players because we don’t need them anymore. Everything cycles many times over throughout a season. Just glad professionals run the team even if I often disagree with them.Recency bias on this board is insane. I am really happy the third line has played so well the last three games but it wasn't long ago that Apples was AHL Apples who everyone wanted to trade., Nino was struggling mightily to make any play or make any pass and Lowry was turning pucks over into the middle of the ice for opposing breakaways or in the midst of a 40 game slump.
What do you mean wasting a solid bottom 6? The 3rd line was crucial for today’s win.Good win, but this team is wasting a solid bottom six.
Something like this needs to be posted after every game as there seems this never ending desire by some to attack whatever they think is that day’s weakest link in order to get as much blood in the water as they can possibly get.This might be a newsflash to some posters here, but rarely is any team going to have all their players on fire and all four lines clicking
It's a long season... the first few games, Schief and KFC carried the team. Now they're struggling and their teammates are there to pick them up, as we used to say
Some games, everyone will be shit and helle will steal a point or two
Stop looking for all the negatives, especially after a win. Schief and Connor struggled... and that's OK because the rest of the team found a way to win
Awesome. 100% agreed! If I can just at to “Scheiffle and KFC MIA”, they really only need to be missing from each other..then they would each do much better IMHO.3/5 Stickman's today, Nino hatty, Dilly with a deuce, team played much better in the third well deserved 2 points. Scheifele and KFC MIA
