Great game - saw it in person with good friends - had a great time!

Have been worried Copp was gonna get hurt and we’d lose out on our best rental. Hopefully he’s okay. Refs were lucky this game didn’t get out of hand — just a refusal to call penalties. Really wanted to win this game against the dirty Wild, mission accomplished, now back to losing please (except for the Montreal game).

5 points out of the 2nd wc spot.
4 teams ahead of them
It will be tough
They have lost too many games they should have won but then again in theory the Wild should not have lost 2 games to the Jets.

3 teams ahead of us right now (ducks, kings, stars) we have 2 games in hand on the ducks 1 on the kings and even with the stars. ducks will most likely sell at the deadline and stars are going to move klingberg as well, it will be hard but to be honest this is far from over

I'd rather get on a big roll and make the playoffs ala the LA Kings a few years ago.

Me too. But expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed.

5 points out of a playoff spot. This season isn't over.

I think this Minnesota team is quite overrated, however it was a nice win. I'd like to see the Jets start beating some good teams. They have the talent.

I don’t even know where the Scheifele Wheeler haters pick up their hate threads after they have a combined 17 points over the last 3 games.

A season isn't 3 games. Some people have objectivity. If you want to give him a pass for his many games of pathetic effort fine but don't criticize others for calling it as it is.

Hats off to Wheeler who was a setup machine tonite. Another shutout on the PK. We are now only -1 in special teams goal differential. Big improvement since Dave too over. Big Stan with >19mins in his comeback game.

yeah, they have deserved their fair share of criticism this season, but this forum was way over the top, they got blamed for pretty much every single thing that went wrong with the jets

After the Chicago game, most of you were ditching the season, making TDL deals etc. After tonight’s games, you’re chatting about not being far off from making the playoffs etc.

Gosh, the mood swings after the results of each game are dramatic!

 

[PhilJets]

Thanks for the replies and updates.

I just hope its not deja vu of earlier (years) seasons.

When we are out and 55 and 26 starts putting points (end of the year) and jets racking wins when it don't matter much anymore in the standing.


Since there is still hope!!! Go Jets Go
Keep winning

Scheifele/Wheeler haters in absolute shambles after the point run those two are on lately.

Good game.

Disappointed that there was no retribution for the Greenway play on Copp. The Jets had basically won at that point, wouldn't have minded a few penalties in exchanging of blowing up a couple of wild players to the sun. Should've dressed a goon instead of Poganski.

I would imagine the Scheifele/Wheeler critics (you say “haters,” I say “critics”) would be quite far from in shambles; rather, the opposite — they’re likely pleased because those two are performing much better than they have been all year and instead of failing to meet expectations like the first 40 or so games of the season, they’re now greatly exceeding them.

I was a bit upset we didn’t retaliate after the Greenway shit too. And I’m a bit surprised this game didn’t breakdown as much. I figured we’d see more shenanigans carry over from last game, plus the refs refused to call anything and the Jets pretty much had the game won by the time Perfetti scored. So while I’m disappointed no one stood up for Copp, it’s still sometimes nice to avoid some of that junk and the injuries/suspensions that can come from that kinda stuff. We got the last laugh with the clean win anyway.

I’m surprised the officials didn’t call anything on Greenway though. I’d like to think the DoPS will step in here, but I won’t hold my breath.

Good game, feels nice for once getting to watch a third period knowing that the Jets have already sealed it and seeing who else can pad their stats

That being said, Adam Lowry should really never play more than Dubois and I'm starting to wonder if Dave can really objectively evaluate his son's game. Too many times I saw our third line get double shifted in lieu of the second line and I get the whole matchup thing but the talent disparity between the two lines is wayyy too large to rationalize that sort of decision making (like why was Lowry out there with Connor and Dubois with thirty seconds left when we're up by three?).

Trying to get his son a goal is my guess. It's been a while since he got one so could use a confidence boost. His production has been pretty poor. His suppression defense hasn't been all that amazing either. He needs to ratchet it way up.

Well said. Where would this team be right now if both were playing up to snuff the first half of the year. It's great that they have had a number of good games recently but it might be too little too late. Let's hope it's not.
