Post-Game Talk: Jets Crowned 3-2

[Adam da bomb]

I'd give it until game 20 as that is the usual amount of time that it takes to input a new system if that is even what they are doing.... but I agree the team ain't going anywhere playing as they have.

Chevy has a big time decision to make but it looks like the team is multiple pieces away from making any type of turn around. I can't see how he can acquire the assets needed to do so inseason. A soft tank retool year wouldn't be the worst move and it may allow us to get one more key impact piece in a crucial position like C. I also think a new voice is needed behind the bench but it also might be best to wait until the offseason for when there is more of a market.

If you are soft tanking would you try Roslovic centring some top 6 players?

He is also at the age that most players really start to fall off. I hope for the best but I expect his overall effectiveness to decline over the next number of years. I actually think his play has declined the prior two seasons but his point totals were buoyed by PP production. It seems that his point totals are starting to match his on ice play. I think he needs to play less to get the most out of him, he should no longer be expected to be able to play massive minutes in all situations at his age. That isn't hating on the player, it is just reality for most older players. We have younger players who are now starting to or have eclipsed him in impact, only natural to get those kids more minutes.

i agree with everything u said and would like your post if i could. i have been called a wheeler hater but i am not i just call it how i see it and give more patience to our younger players. cus if the coach doesnt use them cus there still young and inexperianced that means vets shldnt get as much freedom

Yes, I'd let a number of the kids play meaningful roles in prep for next year as well as to see what we might have in house.

Roslovic at 2C

Little centering Ves and Perrault on a third scoring line and Appelton with Lowry and Copp.

Niku would be an everyday player in the top 4

Is Pionk our best defenceman?

So far yes

 

[Mud Turtle]

However, I am overjoyed that Maurice FINALLY broke up the bromance!!!!!

He’ll pay a price for doing that.
I mean, he’s just the coach. Why should HE be making those decisions?

 

[204hockey]

How'd Heinola look?

if it was up to me he gets his 9 games and sent packing. he does things well but also some things not so well. go work on those not so well things and come back next year or year after

inb4 wheeler and shief nancy kerrigan him in the city place food court

Listen, we can't expect the Jets to keep up with a young, fast team like the *checks notes* ...Los Angeles Kings...

 

[Robinson2187]

Ehlers at 14:00 minutes, Wheeler at 22:00 is ridiculous.

You guys in the city need to make a banner with this exact wording...or placards or whatever you call them. Put them up all over the city. And the biggest one should be put up in Maurice's neighborhood.

 

[Neuf]

The important thing is Doughty didn't tell the crowd to suck anything of his

 

[PhilJets]

A Player at that age shouldnt spend 22mins ice time. No matter how physically fit they are.

The recovery period is not the same as when you are in mid 20s.
You can skate 1mins and go back out after 1 min and dont lose a beat.

Its not the same when you are pass 30s.

No sense rushing the kid and stalling his development on a year like this. While we are at it send Gus back as well, no sense in having him rot on the 4th line playing 5 minutes a night.

 

[Mud Turtle]

A few thoughts:
Pionk is looking very good. I think he'll round into a very good number 3 or 4 offensive Dman.
Is Roslovic just the unluckiest player in Jets history or is there something else? He comes so close so often.
We need the old Morrissey back real soon.
Despite his accuracy issues, Ehlers is absolutely indispensable to this team. He’s always creating something.
The team really turned it on when Scheifele and Wheeler were split up. They were all waiting for it to finally happen. Can’t believe it did.

I like it! I'd consider doing it, but I'm 2 hours west!

This team lacks a lot in terms of creativity despite being a very talented team. Not sure why that is.

Easy answer is their not as talented as you think. That's the top 6. Bottom 6 has no talent what so ever.

Does anyone have a link to the post game interviews?

exactly or have appleton eating popcorn in the press box.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Connor Hellebuyck is the only reason this wasn’t 8-2. Just sickening.

 

[Board Bard]

Would Seattle even take Wheeler if we left him exposed? I wouldn't protect him.

Chevy would have to give them a 5th just to have them not laugh at the suggestion.

Too much to think about with systems maybe. It takes years to learn to play the right way.

 

[Mbraunm]

Much appreciated

 

[AKAChip]

This team is somehow under 0.500 while their starting goalie has a 0.929 save percentage. That’s bonkers. It could genuinely be so much worse.
