Post-Game Talk: Jets lose somehow, 6-5 Wild

[LowLefty]

People ragging on Connor? Weird takeaway

That's the way it works on HFJets boards - someone must take the blame.

But if you ever wonder why plays sometimes go offside, it's because the puck carrier is making too many moves or moving too slow.
It's one of those outliers where the play was moving in slo-mo and KC was barely moving - the only thing moving slower was the puck carrier as he decides to take aim while straddling the blue line.

Really tough way to lose a game but I wouldn't bury a player who scored a couple, set up another and played a nice game.

Unless of course, we need to blame someone.

I said that even when we had our big-big boys with Buff, Enstrom, Mo, Trouba, etc that we STILL couldn’t defend work a lick and that the upgrades on the backend with Dillon and Schmidt, though it was tough for our backend to get worse, won’t make a difference. Lucky for us, those upgrades only eliminates excuses for Maurice so he can finally hitch a ride on the next greyhound out of town(given we don’t have an airport… stupid PC party)

We don't have a Greyhound either. Guess he's staying.

Wrong, the Wild dominated.

Yeah we played a good first but they started taking over from there and were the better team the back half.

 

[heretik27]

My only positive? Got 1 point.

besides that, it was a shit-sammich of a game.

Now we just need a gif of him saying "he's not gone... SEE? HE'S NEVER GONE!" and someone photoshopping Beaulieu's head onto Bill Murray's.

Wrong, the Wild dominated.

Excuse me. I’m never wrong. (Said Paul Maurice)

 

[Neuf]

Having flashbacks of playing the Habs last season. Holy f*** all the Wild did was throw at the net and get bounce after bounce.

When you're given 40+ throws...

 

[Heldig]

Our best players have not been good. Disappointed in both Ehlers and schief.

Ehlers was invisible. Scheifele was his usual self...cheating for offense and disinterested in defending.

 

[DRW204]

Well at least we can't blame Wheeler for tonight's debacle......................or can we

wheeler is the empty net king. he'd never f*** up an empty net scoring opportunity.

 

[TEH FIRST NOEL]

I hate how the Jets like Schiefele and Morrissey refused to go for a change in OT.

triple shift it, boys! that's an order from coach paurice!

 

[Mud Turtle]

It was a joke, Beau only played 4 minutes and Svexh 6. It seems Moe is just going to run our topine into the ground yet again to start the year.

Maurice is usually so good at dividing the time equally between the four lines. This is so unlike him to run the first line into the ground.
But I guess everyone deserves a second chance and we all make mistakes occasionally. Maurice is no exception.
I know that he will make all the necessary adjustments and have this team ready for the next game.

Maurice is a mediocre getting mediocre results as we bitch about something that will never happen, he could lose all the games left in this month and next and he still will be behind the bench. With TNSE this is the way

 

[surixon]

Bounces like that happen when you play in your zone for 10 straight minutes in the 3rd

Yup. Let's not forget we also got bounces tonight as well. Copp dump bounces to Conner in the slot. The puck bounced favorably to JoMo on his pp goal. We got some breaks as well. You better you play the more breaks you get and the Wild were better.

 

[purdy44]

Among active coaches, Maurice is the second longest tenured coach with one team. The first? Jon Cooper. Bit of a difference when it comes to on ice results between them.

 

[TEH FIRST NOEL]

Fire the coaching staff on the flight home.

gallant was not even so fortunate. he was fired as the bus was pulling up (approximate recollection.)

Can I have some of your meds Mud'... ?

Moe is anything if not predictable.

This isn't your mother's Wild. They are a totally different team now. Up until about 5 minutes into the third that was a great game for the Jets. But boy did the wheels ever fall off and it seemed like Minni got a lot of nice bounces.

Brawlers (those that fought nobly):
-Vesa - Lowry - Harkins: they had several dominant shifts and might have the makings of a shutdown pairing. Mo clearly doesn't trust them with high-stakes defensive situations yet (why else would Scheifs line play the last 2.5 minutes of the game...) but they looked good.
-Connor(?): what a boneheaded play on the empty netter. That kind of lazy play is a real pet peeve of mine but I don't think it completely wipes out the rest of his game and I needed to list someone else here!

Bawlers (those that made me cry):
-Defensive zone play: tons of missed opportunities to clear the puck led to great scoring chances against. As fluky as the Wild's goals were, once again our players weren't boxing out or shutting down second chances. There were also extended stretches of M2M coverage that were very ugly.
-Hellebuyck: he is held to a higher standard than all the other players, and he has not lived up to it. Something is off with him right now.

Basterds (those that confounded):
-Nash: I think he actually was a net positive on the PP. Kept the puck in play, and made some easy passes to keep the play moving. Had a couple missed chances to clear on the defensive end though.
-Maurice: this team would have benefitted from 4 lines of forwards tonight. He also needs to start trusting Dubois and Ehlers later in games. Especially in tonight's.

I admire your positivity Mud.

I’ll escort him myself

 

[Neuf]

Is this on Maurice or on Huddy? How does a GM watch this year after year?

 

[TEH FIRST NOEL]

Hero of the day

 

[AlphaLackey]

is there ANYONE not on the Jets payroll that still thinks Maurice is a good coach? Get that bum out of here

If Maurice isn't the worst HC in the league, it's not by much; combine that with the fact that he's the longest tenured(!), I mean.. that don't add up.
