Was at the game. I was a little worried after the first shift of Perfetti but after that he turned it around. He had a few goals and assist but what stood out was his defence and neutral zone play. Fun game to watch.
Yeah, the kid needed a game like that. Hopefully he settles in now and has a real solid season.Fun to see the boys score that much, nice to see Cole have a great game
I'd venture to say the number was seats sold, attendance was likely lower. My entire row had 4 fans.13,422 in attendance sure not a sell out especially on a Friday but not bad considering the opponent
I was there as well, and attendance looked good, but we are lower bowl and there were no empty seats any where around us.I'd venture to say the number was seats sold, attendance was likely lower. My entire row had 4 fans.
Technical point but valid. If you woke up "after" Perfetti scored his 2nd then you "missed" that one too.I knew I was in trouble after the second period, I fell asleep missing the first Perfetti and third Sharks goal, but I woke up after Perfetti scored his second. The Jets played very well for the most part, were aggressively checking San Jose and stealing pucks from them. The final score is the result. Let's hope Winnipeg can continue this against the McGroarty-less Penguins...
I give this game four "Spicolis" out of five...
The Prediction Contest for that game has been posted for your guesses. Remember to get them in before the puck drop at 2:00pm on Sunday. I will be posting the GDT for that game as well, but after that, the games against St. Louis and Seattle are available, so don't forget to sign up! See you all Sunday...

Yup lower bowl looked full on tv not many empty seats, upper deck had sections of empty seats. Not sure how teams are counting their crowds this year, last year I was led to believe it was actually people in the arena.I was there as well, and attendance looked good, but we are lower bowl and there were no empty seats any where around us.
It also seems the defence is fine without Dillon which is suprising to mewith the 2nd line breaking out every jets player has played well this season so far....no one holding the team back like schmidt, stanley or pionk last year. now 12 regular season wins in a row....tied for 26th longest streak in nhl history
Schmidt and Samberg had the best defensive numbers in the league as a defensive pairing for 2 years in a row. He was overpaid and bought out as a result, but Schmidt wasn't holding this team back.with the 2nd line breaking out every jets player has played well this season so far....no one holding the team back like schmidt, stanley or pionk last year. now 12 regular season wins in a row....tied for 26th longest streak in nhl history
Defense might be better without Dillon because Samberg is getting more minutes, and Fleury is a better skater than Dillon ever was.It also seems the defence is fine without Dillon which is suprising to me
This is a good point. Samberg is looking great, and Fleury easily fills a bottom pairing role.Defense might be better without Dillon because Samberg is getting more minutes, and Fleury is a better skater than Dillon ever was.
Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised but Fleury has been a lot better than I thought he would beDefense might be better without Dillon because Samberg is getting more minutes, and Fleury is a better skater than Dillon ever was.
Worth noting, his line played the least at 5v5 and the three of them had the worst xGF on the team, best xGF% because they didn't have chances against, but they didn't create much 5v5 either.
what are you talking about? he was literally a healthy scratch some games. his defensive numbers benefited from playing on the best defensive team in the league.Schmidt and Samberg had the best defensive numbers in the league as a defensive pairing for 2 years in a row.

I was at the game and I'd say that number was accurate for people in attendance. I was at a few real low ones last season, like 11000, and the difference is pretty obvious. I sit in 330, have a good view of all areas.I'd venture to say the number was seats sold, attendance was likely lower. My entire row had 4 fans.
I'll take your word for it. The Sharks are probably the cheapest tickets you can get this year, which probably helped.I was at the game and I'd say that number was accurate for people in attendance.

I'm talking about defensive numbers. Him and Samberg had the best expected goals against for two years in a row. They allowed the fewest quality chances against by ice time out of any pairing in the league for two years. Him being a healthy scratch doesn't negate that.what are you talking about? he was literally a healthy scratch some games. his defensive numbers benefited from playing on the best defensive team in the league.
They produced chances at the lowest rate out of any line 5v5. Special teams doesn't affect that. They also allowed the fewest chances by a country mile. They had a good game, but 5v5 they didn't produce a ton.Which is what happens when you have all that special teams play. XGF puts way too much stock into distance. They had a number of quality looks from the slot that went in and gwt penalized on the XGF metric for some reason. I'll take the line getting clean looks from there over a muffin from 5 feet away with the goalie set.
Addition by subtraction! Small sample size but looking good thus farDefense might be better without Dillon because Samberg is getting more minutes, and Fleury is a better skater than Dillon ever was.
