Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Bruins 2

I thought that Boston looks like a team that just doesn't have it. When your leader is leading by crosschecking people in the back, I'm not sure what kind of leadership that is. Marchand is no Chara, no Bergeron. But the Bruins themselves are a shadow of the team they were. Lately the Jets have been sorting out the pretenders from the contenders in their winning streak.

I was yelling pretty good after the turnover and then the faceoff antics that allowed the Bruins to tie the game up. But then next shift just skate right through them for a grade A, and you realized the Bruins were going to find a way to lose. Then Lohrei giving a freebie to Ehlers. That was pure self destruction and I loved it.

2nd line had a real good game. Not sure why they were so effective, maybe just talked among themselves about what they needed to do better after a substandard game in Montreal.

I thought Scotty shortening the bench in the 2nd, to use 4 defensemen most of the way was a pretty smart move. Rode the guys who could keep the Jets moving in the right direction. Didn't really see anything poor from Stan and Miller, a lot quieter game than the Montreal game with Fleury, but maybe I missed something...

I wasn't too impressed by Parker Ford until the 3rd period. Congrats on #1 kid, in front of family and friends. Real solid move by the Jets to give him his first game in Boston. Listening to the interview he did with Paul Edmonds, I think this kid, who is older than Perfetti, is going to be a good player. Chose to finish his degree before starting pro hockey. Also gave a pretty good endorsement of the organization, who his agent recommended for the way they treat their players. That's a good reputation to have.

Jets winning 9 games in October, November, December and January is a model of consistency.
Next game is vs. the 2nd best team in the league. As of today we're #1.
It takes special talent for a player, playing his first NHL game not to shit his pants. Happy for Ford and I think next game will be a better way to judge him. I hope he stick in the long run and becomes Tanev 2.0.
 
Could you imagine potentially having Barzal and Connor (and Chabot) but instead you end up with Zboril, DeBrusk and Senyshyn?

It makes Chevy trading up to draft Stanly look like a "minor oopsie"
And then imagine the Oilers hiring the Bruins head of amature scouting for that draft the following year just because his last name is Gretzky.
 
Jets keep rolling even with injuries ... seriously question do the Jets really need to make a big move at TDL?
The team chemistry is so good now who would come out of the lineup once anyone is healthy if they make a big trade.
Boston and Preds made a big splash at FAs and look at them do they even make the playoffs?

Jets 8-2 play the 3 hottest teams in a row now ... Caps 7-1-2 ... Canes 7-1-2 and the Isles 8-2.
Jets need a reliable bottom pairing D man or two, the current Stan, Miller, McFleury and tiny Heiny are all sub par

When the Jets first came back I remember hating the fact that Kovalchuk was probably gonna be the "franchise" leader for the rest of my life..... because I knew the Jets were gonna be hard pressed to find a guy with that kind of talent who would stick around long enough to outscore him.....

I guess our first ever draft pick was all it took!



Mark made this his life mantra and is following his mentor and friend into history!!!!

 
So... This is not the jets of the past - these guys are for real this time

Jets remain a wagon. There is no smokescreen. Even their PD0 is good. 102PD0 isn't a great outlier. Not like the 113 some teams were rocking. They are legit this year. It's fun to see.

Really hoping their “being embarrassed by the Avs” was really their “the Oilers seeing how beat up the Islanders were after their Cup run” realization moment 😉
