Post-Game Talk: Jets 8 - Sharks 3

[Flair Hay]

Things are looking good so far

 

[surixon]

The one thing I will nitpick is that the top line needs to be more diligent at managing their shift lengths. No issue against a team like the Sharks last night but, not changing when you have the opportunity and then getting stuck out for long periods of time in your end after could kill us in the playoffs against a good team.

They got the same amount of shifts as the second line but played 8 minutes more. Some of that was special teams sure, but good amount of that was being out way too long at 5 on 5.

 

[Jet]

yup, he can't have a real strong season every 4 years. He needs to play at a good number 3 level consistently to really give us that defensive support we will need to make a run in the post season.

I'm interested in seeing what they do in another week when tree is ready to come back. Third pairing has been solid.

Yeah it's going to be interesting. Fleurys speed is so desirable, he's a bit horky borky in our zone but he's decent at clearing. I wonder if they rotate them with situational deployment based on opponent?

Then what happens when Ville returns?

 

[Jet]

Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised but Fleury has been a lot better than I thought he would be

I hoped that his lack of play in preseason and a new kid was what caused him to look bad early and it's looking like that might have been the case.

Agreed, we've been so much better at retrievals and breaking out due to getting the puck first with the d this year.

I really don't know what will happen. My guess is they carry 8 dmen and rotate them all in if we stay healthy.

Maybe Ville plays F in a pinch if we lose a F and we don't have time to recall a replacement?

I don't think the Jets will want to lose Gus so a tough decision will have to be made of we ever get healthy.

Nvmd I just mathed and we'd have one extra F

Yeah I think we'll carry 8 this year, I don't think anyone will clear and all 8 look bonafide to me.

This might not be the strongest D we've ever iced but it is the deepest and the balance is great.

Having size and skill in 5-8 really gives us some options and could cause some really nice competition

You don't mess with a winning lineup, both Stanley and Heinola when healthy will have to wait their turn

 

[Gil Fisher]

I think they'll lose Stanley or Coghlan to waivers. A month or so into the season and injuries will have started causing problems for other teams.

I think Coghlan would slip through but Stanley would be gone for sure. Chevy probably could find a trade market if it came to that. But we will see what will happen with injuries.

They will waive Coghlan and just carry 8 dmen if healthy imo.

They will find games to get both tree and Ville in for.

Agreed I don’t think the organization wants to lose anymore defensive depth other than maybe Coghlan. Also we have been very fortunate with injuries on the backend other than Villie so it is very likely they will need all their depth at some point.

Ok yes I like the win but the reason the 2nd line dominated is because A) the sharks 2nd line is complete trash and B) they were tired. I hope to God we see Ehlers score 70+ points this year. Perfetan was perfect. I remain optimistically skeptical.

The Sharks were so trash last night. Didn't think I would ever see a D group as bad as the Jets from 19-20 but the Sharks were able to stoop below that.

They did a welcome back Tyler Toffoli message on the scoreboard in the third, I don't think anyone even reacted much lol

Lol a few ppl were yelling jets legend in the section I was in

Technical point but valid. If you woke up "after" Perfetti scored his 2nd then you "missed" that one too.

True, but I did see the replays, so technically I saw his second goal immediately afterwards. I still haven't seen his first goal or San Jose's third, so I will have to watch them on the recap. Besides, it was past my bedtime and I wasn't thinking straight when I made that post...
