Post-Game Talk: Jets flush 2 points lose 3 -1

[blues10]

Jets fans “Our biggest problem tonight was Rick Bowness”

 

[Randal61]

A lot of stupid on this team.
Can seem to make decent decision on when and where to pass the the puck.

Alm

The difference is everyone in the building knowing they would be trying to set Draisaitl up at the side of the net and ignoring him anyways.

Almost as if they had an extra player.

 

[surixon]

Back to feeling like we're trying to match the other team's game and not playing their own game.

Yup, far too reactive imo.

 

[WpgSteve]

We seem to be slowly reverting back to last season's BS. Perimeter play, can't bury our chances ... one bad bounce and we're done.

Effort is still there, but it's fading.

Retire Bowness#

 

[surixon]

Yep. If you watched that game and your first thought was that you sucked because of "faceoffs" then I don't know what to say. Hopefully he is just putting on that front for the media.

Agreed. Such a lazy assessment if he actually is being honest.

 

[Heldig]

As expected, the demise of the Oilers was massively premature.

McDavid and Draisatl are going to score the Oilers into a playoff spot regardless the goaltending and "AHL" defense.

 

[bustamente]

Vilardi looks like it will take some time for him to get up to speed, that knee brace will take some getting used to.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Felt like deer in the headlights tonight.
Let’s hope Coach reverts to lines that were working.

 

[sipowicz]

One team could score, got goaltending and dominated the
3rd the other team was the Jets!

Did Bones think the Jets could sit on a one goal lead against the Oilers?

Slow Gus didn’t dress!

 

[ICdave]

 

[Snowboy]

Jets played on their heels most of the night. They lacked the aggressive drive that they were playing with for most of the season so far. They deserved to lose tonight. Just pathetic by everyone not named Hellebuyck.

f*** the Oilers.

I think Bucky was great almost the entire game, but that tie goal let the air out of the jets and Bucky too....too bad shit happens. They were onto an effective defensive game.

 

[FFHockey]

How do you not have a centre on 4th line? Not sure what was up with Gus, but if it boils down to Coach’s decision…I like Bones, but he can leave and tend to his wife. Critical face-off late and you do not have a real centre man to take the draw. (Not like our “real” centres were world beaters) That’s the shift where Volare takes the penalty after he loses the draw.

I feel like …

 

[Snowboy]

Jets were garbage and didn't deserve a point. The Bowness slide is starting early this year.

your comment is garbage

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Anyone get a good look at the Villardi penalty?

Yeah I was sitting right there, sticks tied up and mcdavid let go. Tweeet

Highlight of the night, I got a doggie kiss from Duke the superstar puck dropping support dog. Absolutely sweet and gentle dog

He's a GUD BOI

 

[Mud Turtle]

Hellebuyck kept us in this game…until he didn’t.
I agree with those who say that we’re looking reactive. We don’t win games unless we’re always pressing.
I thought Ehlers looked great up on the first line, at least in the first two periods. He created a lot of chances and just missed on several plays.

 

[bustamente]

Well Dallas and Colorado both lost in OT, looking forward to the Chicago game which is a must win or the losing streak might get ugly

 

[FFHockey]

Not sure what Nikolaj was doing with empty net, but he was likely our best skater tonight…Helle was obviously our best player but man…asleep at the wheel, goals like that are rarely scored in beer league!

 

[Snowboy]

To me looked like they were both tied up and mcdavid let go of his stick.

Vilardi clamped down with his elbo and by his expression was pissed with himself. bad timing and not necessary.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Ehlers was flying all over the place, he was fast tonight.

 

[sipowicz]

Wow, loss to the Coilers at home and it’s a 4 page PGT, sure a lot different around here now compared to 9-10 years ago or even 5 years ago, interest in the Jets has really sagged post Covid!

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Anyone get a good look at the Villardi penalty?

It was a cheap call but a penalty they had already called twice.
Jets were authors of their own demise. The last 3 games are ominous and this team may not be playoff ready or bound!

 

[Snowboy]

Shit coaching. Pretty much all lines caved in all game and no adjustments.

How come with 6:48 left in the game the score was 1 to 0 for the jets.....i don't think you like defensive games.

 

[surixon]

If by defensive game you mean Helle standing on his head then no I don't. This team has shown for most of the year what good defensive hockey looks like and tonight wasn't one of those nights.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

This is matches my eye test. Got caved in all night against the big dogs.

Caved in from the start , helly was amazing until last 5 mins but they fell asleep on the pk. Attention to detail is lacking. This is concerning.
Cant even tank for Bedard this year

How come with 6:48 left in the game the score was 1 to 0 for the jets.....i don't think you like defensive games.

It was because of sheer luck and helly standing on his head. They got what they deserved save for Kyle Connor having a few good chances it was an easy win for Mcoilers
