Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Pens 3

[LowLefty]

The biggest question for me is can Pionk learn to play like this on a nightly basis. As he is playing he is easily worth his salary.

Yup - that is the question
I think he can play this way when he wants to - so nothing to do with what he is capable of.

Some complaints about the new sound system in the upper deck on reddit, anyone who sits up there what are your thought?

Really bad. Could barely hear any of the tribute to Bryan Little during the first intermission TV timeout.

Not an audio expert, but I feel like it’s a mixing issue (as opposed to any issue with the actual system).

 

[Shaundogg]

I'm not sure about you guys (yes it's only 1 game this season in) but I like Fleury better than Stanley as our 6th d-man.

Agreed, couldn't hear it either

Note to Jets fans... Maybe win something before talking trash on the most successful franchise over the last 3+ decades.

Having said that, you have a great team.

Well, to be fair, I view it as talking trash about Rutger who acted very two-faced before being traded.

 

[Guardian17]

Just got back from the game.

Loved the Bryan Little tribute.

Loved the "Where is Rutger" chants.

Our heritage jerseys are awesome!

Just like King Kong Bundy, we love the number 5!!

Go back to your own board. We weren't trashing your team. We were trashing Rutger.

That was fun, but hard on my poor heart.

 

[larmex99]

Yes backup goalkeeper Comrie was good.

Playing for a good defensive team seems to help…

I know what you mean but they can do wonders now with bypass surgery.

Take that crap to your board. You wouldn’t like us going to your board talking trash about your team. Which the crowd didn’t, they were talking about Rutger. God some people can be dense.

 

[Snowboy]

I will give credit where credit is due. Comrie looked awful at the start, but looked okay by the end. He still made some goofs even then, but the Pens couldn't capitalize.

Still not comfortable with him as a backup, but he'll likely not get a lot of starts so it might be okay.

Needs to handle rebounds better.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Needs to handle rebounds better.

I agree with you there. His rebound control needs improvement. I also thought he gets out of position a little too often than he should.

Only undefeated left! ONWARDs and UPWARDS!

So as I mentioned on the game thread, first game in the barn since covid. Will definitely try and get back a few more times this year.

Liked the band and the craft beer options - don't think they had those pre covid. Not a fan of the cashless payments. In fact when I bought a beer in the 2nd intermission the computer crashed and had to wait about 5 minutes for it to reboot and come back online. Didn't have any food so can't comment on that.

I thought the Jets had upgraded the sound system once already? Sounded fine in the lower bowl.

Surprised with the lineup changes but it worked.

Thought the LAN line had a rough 2nd. Seemed to be hemmed in their zone a bit but played way better later in the period and in the 3rd.

Was that Gus' man on the 2nd goal all alone in front of the net? Thought he and Stan looked a bit rusty but I guess that's expected.

I'm okay with the extra guys getting game time but hopefully we can get some kind of rotation going so they get game ready and can stay sharp.

Great Little tribute.

Lets keep it rolling!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Not to overreact, but this team will never loose again.

 

[Derfel]

This is a good team. Maybe the league will finally notice it's a good team.

 

[Thechozen1]

and I have yet to see 1 national media member tweet about it, if this was any other canadian market they all would have tweeted it by now

The less national media attention the better. I’ll take the underdog role all year.

 

[Buffdog]

One negative I have is that the top's line shift lengths need to be brought under control. At 5v5 Scheifele managed to play almost 5 mins more than Lowry while being on the ice for 2 LESS shifts than Lowry. 6 mins more than Names while playing the same number of shifts. This is not just a one off either, 55 is has been around 58 seconds average shift length at 5v5 almost every game, was a 1 min 4 seconds tonight

One thing that was good about Wheeler was that he would always be the first guy to change on that top line. That line's average shift length is at a point that it would be considered too long even for a defenseman, let alone a forward.

Edit: For comparison, Crosby's avg shift length was 46 seconds and Malkin 43 seconds, with no Pens over 50 seconds. On the Jets Scheifele was at 64 secs and all of the topline over 50 seconds.

It's been an issue in the past with Schief. Hopefully they nip it in the bud

Can't be effective out there past 50-55 seconds unless he's dogging it a bit

I'm not sure about you guys (yes it's only 1 game this season in) but I like Fleury better than Stanley as our 6th d-man.

Fleury has been good, but I thought Stanley was good today considering it's his first game. Had a bad shift in the 3rd with a turnover and got away with a dumb trip, but other than that, looked good to me.

Great memory for Little and especially for his daughter seeing Dad skate one more time for a NHL team.

What was his 5v5 shift length? I think he extends on the PP, probably too much, and doesn't make up for it with shorter 5v5 shifts either.

You can see here... that line definitely takes longer shifts compared to the other forwards... but Cole likes to stay out there a bit too
