Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Pens 3

[LowLefty]

Where has that talent been for the last 5 years? He has ranged from not very good to downright bad. His only good season was his last contract year.

Maybe some of it can be explained by poor fits with partners and nagging injuries but the coincidence of good play only when he feels motivated enough is hard to ignore.

He is going to have a career year earning him another big contract and then he will disappear for the rest of his career.

There might be some truth to this because it is exactly what happened last time and we had similar discussions around it.
I'd like to see him play his heart out every night but I doubt we get this kind of effort after that next contract is signed - all you can hope for is that we don't over pay.
He's no dummy - he knows how the league works when it comes contract time - what have you done for me lately is usually how it works.
But in the end, I hope you and I are wrong -

Yeah, I’d be cautious signing him to a long term federal given his tendency to be inconsistent and play up for contract years (which wouldn’t be bad if he was at least good the other years).

He's a guy who needs one 1 year contract after another. Go ahead and pay him, he'll probably be earning it.

Sure. I hope he becomes half of an outstanding pair with Snerg, the partner he has been waiting 5 years for. But I'm skeptical.

wow, the offense

GO JETS GO!!!

Crossing finger this will be Scheifele's best year , two way game... As well as Lowry. If JMO is JMO and HELLY is HELLY, Jets will (hopefully) pass round one this year

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

 

[Jets 31]

Still the last undefeated team in the entire NHL eh , 5 and 0 is very nice....

Ehlers 5 games 7 points. And tonight's toi under 13...

And when the Jets lose a game he's sure the main culprit. This is madness despite the team wins.
