Post-Game Talk: Jets crown Kings win 5-2

[Jets 31]

If Scheifele, Ehlers and Vilardi keep playing like this can you imagine a second line of Namestnikov, Connor and Perfetti ? Wow . I know I'm jumping the gun a bit but man that would be like two first lines.

After the watching 1st period. Thought it might be a duh like the Sharks game. Jets come back and was super competitive and glad I watched the entire game. Really happy with the effort. Lots been said about PLD trade but I’ll add that it great to see effort every night.

I wouldn't have noticed that Dubois was out there except for the "penalty" he drew in the 2nd. I know he scored in the return to Winnipeg but I think Vilardi's game was much more impactful tonight than Dubois was here in October.

Very good 2nd and 3rd period compared to the 1st. They gave a lot of effort in the 3rd especially to defend that lead.

On 55's 1st goal, watch PLD shift. his stick broke then he looked like he was out public skating, reminiscent of the Columbus shift.

Pionk has really come on lately, tonight he was all over the place in a good way, needs to keep it up

He started hitting again recently, that's when you know he's feeling it.

Spot on. Saw that and thought, WTF is he even doing, just sort of cruising around.

 

[Do or Die]

Pionk has always looked better when he plays with a little snarl.....

 

[CorgisPer60]

What does the purple and yellow mean?

Special teams, namely the power play and penalty kill time on ice.

It's possible that PLD will wake up for the playoffs, as I recall the series vs TO where he dominated.

 

[TommyKillian]

Pionk is having such a redemption year.

Agreed 100%. It's been great to see. Honestly, he really stepped up after Morrissey got hurt in the playoffs last year. I wonder if he needed that to remind himself he can be a strong player in this league.

Just taking a quick look at his advanced states on NST and they match the eye test. In many respects, this has been his best season yet.

That's a long sleep...

Not to be that guy, but it was 6th overall prior to the lottery.

No problem that guy, its been a while, I thought we were further down. Looking at the bottom of the top ten of 2016 i think we would have still done well if it was vilardi. It could have been puljarvi or julevi.

Middle of my work assignment while in Montreal and I snuck away to watch the highlights again for the third time!

The first line just sent it! Any one of them could have taken coelacanth of the game..

Kings board said pld is the last guy you want to not have a stick on the ice

 

[Howard Chuck]

It just might be me but it really seems like this Jets team is really becoming a tight group, i don't remember seeing them talk to each other on the ice before faceoffs like they have this season. Just looks like they are a tighter team than in the previous few seasons. Also Bowness get yourself a slurpee before games if you like 7-11 so much then you might not play 7-11 anymore.

I missed a great game it appears. I had to comment on your comment. I totally agree with you, because I have commented in the last few years that as the camera pans down the bench they all looked lifeless with zero emotion. Thwart look so different this year.

I think a couple of personnel changes have made a lot of the difference.

 

[Do or Die]

Beyond roster changes.... Chevy also made some moves towards "the room"
Parted with Wheeler
Moved PLD
Made Big Adam captain

He has been outstanding. He just does countless little things right. Looks alot like Morrissey actually.

Now just imagine Chevy makes a trade to bring in an actual top 6 forward to play along side Perfetti and Connor. Nothing against Names as he has been a great addition and a Swiss army knife, but in order to be an actual contender I feel an upgrade would be required. That, plus bring in a top 4 RHD (Adam Larsson maybe?) and we are all set for a deep playoff run.

How is it possible that Vilardi with 4 points, on his first game back in LA, doesn’t end up with one of the jackets?!?!

because he had one of the jackets from the last game

Although I don’t think gm picks captains.

He already had one.

Scheif at $8.5mill/yr>>>>>>>PLD at $8.5 mill/yr

 

[Jets 31]

Doughty watching Dubois so far this season.

Sounds like PLD giving @macmaroon a run for his money

But on the bright side, at least he'll be well rested...
