Post-Game Talk: Jets bedeviled, lose in Jersey 4-2

[Gabe Kupari]

I think I'd hope for something like

Ehlers Scheif Meier
Connor Dubois perfetti
?? Lowry Wheeler
Barron Stenlund Appleton.

 

[Atoyot]

There was a point where the Jets were getting chances but they weren't going in. I'm of the opinion that in that situation you stick with what's getting you chances and the goals will come. Instead the team's now in a constant blender and instead of getting chances and not scoring, they're not getting chances and not scoring.

 

[kanadalainen]

Tough to watch them lose a lead like that.

Onward.

 

[LowLefty]

Hope eels is ok

On to the next one tomorrow

I missed him hitting his head and thought he might be playing it out a bit on the ice - my bad in earlier GDT post.

 

[White Out 902]

the flaws are that we don't get any bottom six support, something that should be easy to fix

The flaws are way beyond that. We are routinely outplayed.

 

[Aggie204]

Outclassed and outplayed. The coach bump has lost its shine. Chevy, you have lots of work to do. The Jets call the east teams their daddies.

yes because we have 2 5th lines right now....

I hope he's alright. Damn, it would suck to see him miss more time.

 

[surixon]

Agreed time for Chevy to make an add or 2.

Yup we need two middle 6 players. Bring in Domi to center a third line and find a 40 point winger to compliment one of the other lines.

I like Adam but he kills the offense of whoever in the top 6 is played with him.

 

[LowLefty]

didn't he call out our bottom 6 scoring? I think putting the lines as he did tonight was to try and spread out the offense...

I think that was the plan - and maybe shake up the talent a bit.
Adding our bottom six into the top only makes your top look worse - but he was likely trying to dumb it down a bit to get these guys playing a more basic offense game (net front, shoot more, less fancy, etc)

 

[WolfHouse]

This team is completely flawed and a lot of people are blinded by the record. This team is a complete fraudulent mirage. There is no better time than now to have the courage to blow the team up from top to bottom. Yes including our precious goaltender

Was wondering when youd show up with the annual trade helle campaign

 

[DRW204]

New Jersey won the Meier-Bowl

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Jets have 5 losses and 7 wins in their last 12 games.

Something to consider - since the Jets 18 - 7 - 1 start, the team is 16 - 14 - 0. That works out to a 87 point season which is almost exactly the same as Maurice's final season.

Perhaps that new coach bounce we always here about that lasts 20 games? 30 games? 40 games? applies to Bowness and the Jets? At this point, we have to consider that a real possibility.

 

[White Out 902]

yes because we have 2 5th lines right now....

ok so you want to fix half our skating lines. Easy peasy!

Jesus Christ.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Seems like he's trying to play board battles all of his lines. Somebody needs to take his bottom six players away from him, because Maenalanen on the top line and Ehlers on the 3rd is an absolute f***ing travesty.

The flaws are way beyond that. We are routinely outplayed.

The Bownaissance is coming to an end, and this roster is going to see a total upheaval over the next 2 years. They can help insulate themselves by trading for Meier and extending him, but only trade for him if you are confident you can extend him. He is worth it. Give him Wheeler money over 8 years. You can afford it once Wheeler's contract is done and Dubois is gone.

Good observation. Sometimes blending the lines just to blend them isn't the right decision. I also thought the team was generating chances but just wasn't able to put pucks in the net.

 

[None]

New Jersey won the Meier-Bowl

Thought for a second they actually traded for him and I'd missed it

 

[gojetsgo]

Jesus Christ.

no, I want to add middle six players and push down our current 3rd line to the 4th, we have the cap space to do so... really not that hard to do right now....

We need a Hyman type or two on this team. A guy that can get his nose dirty but has the instincts and enough talent to play off of skill players.

Seems like he's trying to play board battles all of his lines. Somebody needs to take his bottom six players away from him, because Maenalanen on the top line and Ehlers on the 3rd is an absolute f***ing travesty.

Yeah the Ehlers usage has been mind boggling. He seems to have learned to trust Cole though as he has been out late in periods lately and for defensive faceoffs. So I guess baby steps.

 

[Mud Turtle]

So, since all our injured players came back we’ve pretty much been playing like sh*t.
What happened to the team that was always skating hard and out working the other teams.

It’s feels like they’re regressing back to the past couple years where they believe that their talent will take them to the promised land. But it won’t.

 

[BigZ65]

For 20 games plus playoffs...rinse and repeat next year.

Do you think adding a couple middle six guys makes us a contender? With that blueline and intermittent effort from our top 2c's?

 

[blueandgoldguy]

New Jersey played yesterday while the Jets had a couple days off. That makes this loss even more frustrating.

 

[None]

I wonder if we blinked and missed another Svechnikov/Wheeler/Maurice situation where Bowness made a change to get someone going and f***ed everything up for the rest of the lineup. I can't think of an analogue from this roster for that comparison to make sense though so

New Jersey won the Meier-Bowl

Because winning today makes their offer appear better to SJ?
