Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Panthers 4

[Jetland162702]

That was fun. Good effort all around.
They still have to learn how to play with a lead so let's work on that every game damn it.

 

[Atoyot]

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.

I'm dumping on him being used in a specific situation, and in reality I'm not dumping on him, I'm dumping on the coaches for using him in said situations. He's been good 5v5.

Loved everything about that game outside the last 5 minutes. I hate the bunker defend style and that is what we went to and it nearly bit us. But all in all another real good game by the team.

Helle was better tonight but still has another level in him.

JoMo was beating and DeMelo was very good. Morrissey looks poised for another Norris caliber year.

Pionk/Snerg - another solid night for this pairing. Snerg just compliments Pionk's game quite well.

Dillion/Schmidt - A whole lot of meh from this pairing I thought.

Top line: Conner and Scheifele were flying out there. Vilardi was a bit quieter then the first game but still was solid.

Second line: Cole looked much more comfortable going forward tonight. Made a heads up pass on DeMelo's goal. Ehlers and Nino played real well as well and the line could have had a couple more. They crushed their matchups once again.

Third line: Did their best work on the PK imo. Were solid but not great 5 on 5.

Fourth line: Kupari is really growing on me. Future 3C imo. Barron was good and name was ok.

Onto next game.

If the Jets play good solid hockey and win their fair share the attendance will perk up. As many have said going to games is a high dollar event and a drop in ST holders will make walk ups important as the season goes on. Having a quality winning product will help

I guess the X LA guys will want to have a great showing against their former team. Should be a great game this upcoming Tuesday. Maybe Dillon could rough up PLD a bit, for some extra flavour.

 

[PhilJets]

I liked that short handed goal

no stick


Morrisey stick to Lowry


Lowry to Appleton

Go Jets Go

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Koopa looked good tonight.

Fyi.
The team calls him Koop.

 

[Jets 31]

Honestly i didn't mind our defense too much today, Helly needs to be better. It's so early though he will be better.

 

[White Out 902]

The skaters are home playoff quality

Fun start

 

[surixon]

I really hope we see Perfetti soon. I'm thinking he's mainly focusing on his c positioning and responsibilities but he's not really involved offensively

This is following his AHL start at C to a t. Getting used to the positioning and defensive responsibilities. I thought he was more involved offensively then last game. To be fair the line didn't get a tonne of ice time with all the penalties.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I think Kupari, with his speed, skill, and faceoff ability, coulld be a solid option for 3v3 and 4v4.

Yeah I'm looking forward to that one. I will be there and should be a really fun one.

Maybe play Brossoit the next game ? or at least play him against Vegas.

Perfetti looked quiet but his underlying numbers were exceptional today.

 

[Lions67]

Lowry’s work on that goal was amazing. To have that pace and control of the puck with a dman right in front of him, and to have that awareness to grab that stick and lay it down, all in one stride to make that play… just incredible!
Hated the last few minutes, but solid solid game.

 

[bustamente]

I didn't know what to expect but Kupari could become the steal of the trade, really liked his game today

 

[surixon]

I think you need to give him 20 games. He's smart enough to figure out out and the rewards will be worth it

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

I honestly don't know what more you guys should be expecting from a player two games into a posion change. He has an assist and his line is clicking at about 80 XGF% through two games. While he hasn't been flashy offensively he's been excellent defensively and was really driving transition play through the nz. I'm sure his coach is thrilled with how things are going so far.

His offense will pick up once he gets his reads down pat and ingrained. Some patience is required.

I think this trade is one that won't stop giving. Vilardi, Iafallo and Kupardi are all making an impact in different ways. The Habs 2nd round pick is pure gravy as we have already won the trade before that.

And it's not like the Jets have a better option at 2C anyways. What's the alternative? Namestnikov to the 2nd line? Vilardi and breaking the chemistry of the top line? Perfetti line has great metrics at 5v5 and haven't been scored against... while Ehlers/Nino are probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting, I don't see much reason to complain. Maybe the Jets look for an upgrade at 2C at the deadline if the season goes well and Perfetti isn't a fit, but so far I see not a lot of reasons to complain... yes he hasn't been flashy but lets give em a few more games esp since Ehlers hasn't had a preseason and is clearly rusty.

 

[DRW204]

What happened to the old "let's wait 15-20 games" before making any conclusions of limited TOI stats?

 

[GNP]

Be great to see the Ehlers, Perfetti line start to click, and we'd be sitting pretty as a team, and scoring in buckets. Gotta get Cole going, and as for Ehlers the points will come.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

The Appleton assist from Lowry is absolutely ridiculous.

I may have a new favourite Jets goal of all time.

Ehlers and Nino two notorious high volume shooters/analytics poster boys on the same line.... And that line doing well in shot share... You don't say

I like to reserve judgment for 10 games...just accumulate points...there's always ugliness.
