Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Panthers 4

[Mud Turtle]

That’s really not good!

 

[Atoyot]

Well the one goal Samberg pulled himself out of the position he should have been in to break up that play. Not sure how that's pionk

Didn't say it was, I said that it's stupid to have Pionk on the ice in these situations as he gets scored on more than any player in the league when down a man. Scheifele could also take some blame there being up at the blue line checking the same player as Vilardi. Regardless of fault on this individual goal the recurring theme is that if the other team has more players on the ice and Pionk is on they're more likely to score.

It's going to be a tough sell this year I think we all knew that, and before anyone says it the Jets aren't going anywhere

 

[KingBogo]

The ST base has taken a huge hit over the last couple years, and now they will have to fill the building by being an exciting competitive team. Not much mystery why Chipman is pushing for a win now team.

 

[raideralex99]

Agreed Agar, but he has all but invisible so far putting him back on the wing might take some the pressure off off him

Actually being invisible is a good thing for a rookie isn’t it?
No mistakes that cost the team a win.
One assist and plus 1 is a win for me with a rookie getting experience at the same time.
Not every rookie can be a Bedard.

 

[bustamente]

Was he invisible setting up the DeMelo goal?

Maybe being invisible is good? Plonk was very visible.

I did say all but, hey I'm a Perfetti booster I just feel that atm the wing might be better for him this year

 

[JetsFan815]

Those new players Chevy brought in looking pretty good.

Yeah I don't know if Villardi puts up more points than PLD but the way he is clicking with that top line and helping them having positive impact at 5v5 like they haven't had in years makes us a better team than last year.

And I for one am glad that I don't have to scream at the screen for PLD taking a brain dead penalty again.

 

[Atoyot]

Was he invisible setting up the DeMelo goal?

Maybe being invisible is good? Plonk was very visible.

Had the best xGF% in the game, though admittedly with a very low xGF.

And it's not just the tough sell Jets...

My Lady and I are lucky... we can meet the challenges of inflation these days as we have no debt... and have a great life in general...

Many people are struggling with the rampant inflation in our economy right now...

My prayers are with those struggling...

 

[Hinterland]

Top line buzzing again

Nice to see secondary scoring

Second line outside of basically one play was meh

Kupari will be such a nice upgrade over the 4cs we've had.

Might be just me and an unpopular opinion but in my view he's better than Perfetti. At least right now and at Center he is. Also, I love Adam Lowry but Rasmus Kupari might be a better player already. He'll never be quite as gritty as Lowry but he's almost as solid against the puck and has higher offensive upside. Anyway, I think Kupari should be given a larger role...if not now then surely down the road.

 

[bustamente]

I don't know what the Jets are going to do with Pionk but so far he has continued last years play.

 

[raideralex99]

Two straight games the Jets played exciting hockey if the fans don’t come it’s money issues … not the product on the ice.

 

[GNP]

Kyle Connor off to a great start this season, having 3 goals in 2 games, and just "maybe" he pots 50 goals this year.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Pionk on for the last 2 goals against and then gives Tkachuk a shorthanded breakaway. Why is he viewed as a player that should be on the ice when we're down a man or defending a lead is beyond me.

The last two games have really shown that we need an upgrade from Pionk and Schmidt quickly.

 

[Atoyot]

Perfetti with 1:40 TOI on the powerplay, Connor with 6, Scheifele would have had more if not for his fighting major.

I like Nino's bull in a China shop game but he's really struggling when the puck's on his stick so far. His hands, vision, and patience aren't where they were when he came over last year. Lots of failed break-ins from Ehlers and Perfetti passing to him and him handing the puck over.

Afternoon game doesn't help but if the Jets keep playing like this count me in for at least 15 games this season.

Well it is a very expensive form of entertainment live. 2 mid range tickets with a little food and a couple beers is easily a $400 night.

You are down to 14...

It's do-able...

 

[puck stoppa]

Well that was exciting. That Appleton goal is one of the best all time jet goals with the play Jmo made to Lowry, I lost it!

 

[GNP]

I notice Ehlers is not on the score sheet ? I guess he's trying to shake off the rust, from not playing pre season games.

 

[Larabee]

Kyle Connor off to a great start this season, having 3 goals in 2 games, and just "maybe" he pots 50 goals this year.

He’s on pace for 120 goals.

 

[John Agar]

Not on the score sheet... that's okay for the moment...

Not lying on the ice writhing in pain is the plus...

He'll come around...

 

[raideralex99]

I don’t understand all the dumping on Pionk he was not that bad.
The only big negative I have to say … I was sweating every time Schmidt and Dillion were on the ice … they are the weakest link on the team.

 

[snowkiddin]

I’d say the refereeing was bad, but I think it was very obviously deliberate. Game management at its finest.

I think the forward depth is gonna cause problems (for other teams). The Jets just keep coming and coming because they have 12 legit NHL forwards now.

Scheif/Connor/Vilardi with a strong game.

Morrissey/DeMelo and Samberg/Pionk played well too, IMO.

Liked the fourth line’s game, especially Kupari. Lowry was good too.

Still waiting to see Vezinabuyck show up, this team will be a tough out once that happens.

 

[Atoyot]

The last two games have really shown that we need an upgrade from Pionk and Schmidt quickly.

Pionk's 5v5 numbers have been stellar the first two games, he just doesn't know where he should be when the other team has more players on the ice and gets exploited constantly. 5v5 numbers may be the same Samberg effect we saw with Schmidt last season though.
