Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Nucks 1

[Bender Duster]

Say what you will about how Scheifele and Helle probably will drop off before their contracts end, but at least we aren't sitting on paying someone like Pettersson who fell off a cliff in the middle of his prime.

No kidding. It was probably sometime in the middle of the second period that I actually noticed Pettersson was in the line up last night. Total non-factor.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I didn't know Pettersson or Miller were playing. I thought man this Nucks team is really injured. There really bad. Without Demko standing on his head they are not a playoff team

They were actually decent last year - they had a bunch of guys having career years all at the same time. Miller, Hughes, Boeser, Hronek. Pettersson was good too - 89 points was his 2nd best season by a lot. Plus .918 out of Demko. A lot of stuff went right and they were playing with confidence.

This year everything's off the rails. And I'm here for it!

Great game by the Jets, and Connor and the 1st line came out to play. Game never in doubt. Helle deserved the shutout though.

Very small sample size, but I'm liking the "shift" in line makeup between lines 2 and 3. Previously it seemed like we were going with a "skill" second line and a "checking" 3rd, but now it's more of a blend. You've got a skill guy in Ehlers, and Lowry and Iafallo that do the board work and bring some physicality. And then you have Perfetti and Nino (Nino seems like he can work with most, like a Perreault), and for now, Kupari. We'll have to see how that line goes and then possibly if they keep line 2 together, how that line might go with Names.

What about when Appleton comes back?

Injuries making better line changes than Arniel

Remember when that poster wanted to put Connor on the 4th line and use him as a PP specialist like Phil Kessel? Same guy who wanted to use the acquisition of Nate Schmidt to "dump" JoMo

Pretty tough to take anything that someone says seriously after those shit takes

Wanna hear my shit take? I thought Petan was the 2nd coming of Martin St. Louis.......LOL

 

[Moloch]

Both games I've been to this season have been super fun to watch. My dad came along with me for his first Jets game back when we played boston and beat them 8-3 or whatever. Then yesterday, I had the chance to see my second of the season and it was another blowout. Holy hell was the building loud when KFC got that hatty.

Serious question.. will we ever see these jerseys become the primaries? Every time the jets make an instagram post featuring them, 95% of the comments are calling for them to make the switch.

 

[Hobble]

Fantastic win for the boys!

It is imperative they keep winning and win the Central, so they can hopefully get the 8th seed who will likely be a Pacific division team that will be easier to take on than COL/DAL.

EDIT: Also, just noted that the Jets have as many wins at the Blackhawks have points in the standings lol.

I'm not sure I've met anyone who doesn't think the heritage jerseys should be the main ones. It must be clear as day to TNSE. Maybe the NHL won't allow it? I am as stumped as anyone.

She was interviewing Connor post game in the arena and it sounded like she was having a stroke

 

[Huffer]

It's a good problem to have I guess.

If the team continues with the blended option and keeps Iafallo with Lowry and Ehlers, I think you have to move Appleton to the 4th. (I would anyway to try and continue to see Nino and Perfetti together).

Without any additions, the bottom 6 would be something like:

Nino - XX - Perfetti
Barron - XX - Appleton

Where Names is one of the XX's and the other can be either , Kupari or Gus.

TNSE didn't even want to name the team the Jets.

It's a Jets tradition!

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

I guess he may have brought a couple of hats?

Always a good look!

 

[Ponds]

I'm happy to be wrong about Scott Arniel, even if my reasons for being annoyed at his hiring are valid. I want a coach who is a good coach, not one who is hired because they "have ties to" the market in which they play and coach. I'm just glad Arniel is proving that he is a coach that deserved another chance to be a head coach. Special teams are doing a lot of heavy lifting, but coaching puts them there.

I'm with you. The Arniel hiring was straight out of the True North handbook. I wasn't inspired by it, but I was willing to give him a chance. Immediately, I was watching what he'd do with personnel, specifically Brad Lauer. If Arniel had brought him back it would have honked of Huddy 2.0

Bones was what the team desperately needed to reset the culture. Even if he'd wanted to stay, I don't think it would have been the right fit long term. In this case, SA already being involved with the organization has paid dividends. Instead of blowing it all up, he's built and improved upon the groundwork RB laid.

The league leading powerplay is evidence of that.

He'll never get everything right, but he's done a swell job so far. He doesn't seem tethered to his ways either, which I like in a coach. If he's behind the bench when the Jets hoist a Cup, it'd be one heck of a redemption arc.

Now to voice a bit of displeasure with True North.

They will never relinquish their branding. An ode to their organization is literally part of the crest. It's one of the issues I have with their ownership. Whether they choose to accept it or not, no matter how much work they did to bring NHL hockey back to Winnipeg, the Jets belong to Winnipegers.

The Jets live and die on the backs of it's blue collar citizens. They are the true lifeblood of the club.

With TN, it's authentication this, ties to Winnipeg that, but they don't respect the fanbase enough to fly the crest and colour's most desire. One could make the argument the old crests and colour's were tied to failure. That a new look redefines this incarnation of the Jets. Yet, is it what most Winnipegers identify with when they think of the Jets? I'd be curious to know for certain.

Personally, I think the 90s crest is what our team should be wearing.

From a spiritual standpoint, the Jets that were stripped from me as a child were wearing that crest. The way I see it, winning a Cup in those uniforms would undo a cosmic wrong. From a design standpoint, they took the 70's crest and perfected it. It's timeless.

However, the 70's crest is linked with success in the WHA, so I understand if people view it as our true identity.

All that said, if Adam Lowry is being passed the Stanley Cup from Overlord Gary, he could be adorned with a Safeway bag for all I care.

When I went to a Wheat King's game, a hat trick happened, which was the perfect opportunity to me to get rid of my old hat and go buy a new one. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what that dude did.

After a hat trick Jets Gear also sells all its hats for 25% off for the rest of the game.

Your gif strikes (strokes?) again

 

[raideralex99]

There's a chicken and egg issue there, though

Are we good because we have a high shooting %, or do we have a high shooting % because we're good?

This team (or at least the top scorers) seems to prefer quality over quantity with regards to shots. In terms of defensive structure, it's the opposite... everything is pushed to the perimeter, forcing low quality shots. In other words, it's almost by design that we often get outshot and win

Here's the problem with those shooting % stats ... correct me if I'm wrong only the shots on goal that the goalie saves are counted along with the goals right?
So If Scheifele goes for the top right corner 5 times ... he misses 3 times and hits the post the 4th time but the 5th time he finally scores. His shooting percentage would be 100% even though he tried 5 times to hit that top right corner ... 1 for 5 is 20%.
Honestly I think majority of today's new stats they keep track of are meaningless.

Agreed, I love our white Retros with the 90’s logo. Wish we got to see a dark version with the new colour scheme. I think those would be *chefs kiss*.

However, I also do love the current Heritage with red pants.

Shooting percentage isn't a new stat. And you can use Corsi as a counter or expansion to that which would capture those 5 shot attempts you illustrated (Corsi is a relative new stat).

I see and somewhat agree with your comments though, like a QB in football: TD% is based on all attempts (hockey equivalent: Corsi) not just completions.

They started keeping track of Shots in 1959 and SH% in 1960, so how far back are you going here?

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I heard from someone at the game that the fans were chanting "don't play Stanley" last night at one point at the end of game. Is that true?
