Post-Game Talk: Jets shut out Oilers 1-0

[Joe Hallenback]

Someone needs to tell Oiler fans that Lowry/Copp will eat up McD/Drai if there coach lets them

 

[Eyeseeing]

I expected a beat down

Only watched the 3rd and OT&SO but Wheeler looked off again, misdirected passes everywhere, slow decision making, time to try Ehlers on 1st line with Scheif and Laine.

Don't forget PP1 as well.

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Laine-Pionk

Lemme see those 29/27 or 27/29 one-timers - HNGGG

I know its been repeated 100000000000 times now but the solution to the top 6 and PP is switching 26 with 27. It won't happen tho cuz.. 26 is defacto coach

 

[SensibleGuy]

that was a fun game. More of that please...

 

[mynameisblar]

Little back and allowing Copp to slide down to play with Lowry sure makes the 2/3 lines look a lot better.

Poolman causes me angst

 

[bustamente]

Little puts Copp where is plays best, him and Lowry may not score but they put in a honest nights work

Amazing how much better Lowry's line is, now that he's no longer wearing two albatrosses around his neck and he actually has another great shutdown forward and a burgeoning young talent to work with.

McDavid owes his team a dinner

LETS MAKE IT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER!

HOW BOUT A SHUT OUT.... FROM OUR TENDER !

oops i think thats bryan adams ill see myself out

your all welcome for my post in the GDT.. helly is clearly a bryan adams fan

pretty crazy game.. first time i was entertained this year! lets go keep the train rolling!

 

[surixon]

Wheeler is another year older, may not be a bad time to start to decrease his minutes especially with all of our other top 6 wingers looking really good. Give him 2 to 3 less minutes a game and he looks a lot more fresh imo.

 

[HighFlyingJets]

Wheeler seriously should be demoted to line 2 and off PP1. Plays die on his stick on the PP and hes 2 slow to keep up with 55 and 29 ES. Put Ehlers on there. That play in OT.. The 2 on 1.. That just shows you 26 is just off

Not to undermine your statement. But Laine did a lot of goofy turnovers tonight too. Both on the PP and EV strength. I feel like some shuffling is needed on the first line.
Ehlers Sheif Laine for a while? Let them fly!

I think this was a really important game to win, losing four in a row could have put the team in a downwards spiral.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Wheeler is also a notorious slow starter so slow the brakes on his demise just yet

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

All you heard before the season was how the Central is a monster but I was pretty skeptical. Dallas and Minny however have been even worse than I thought, they've practicly taken themselves out already. If the Jets can sort out that 1st PP to being what it's supposed to be and people keep stepping up on the defence, I don't see how the Jets aren't in the Top 4 in division and in the playoffs.

Dude, the only people who aren't surprised right now are the pathological liars.

 

[Jets 31]

Great game by Helly , Little makes this team better overall , defense played good , but time for Wheeler to go to the second line and i don't care who you put with Scheif and Laine . Either Connor or Ehlers can play on the first line . Way to get the win boys .

Its not the turnovers.. Its the inability to keep up.. Its the inability to split 55 and 26 up. Little and Wheeler play similar games.. ESL does also. Its just logical to put them together again

 

[Hunter368]

Anyone who wasn’t completely entertained by that game.......I’m not sure what to say to you. Lots of scoring chances by both teams, lots of good goaltending & defensive plays.........comes down to a shoot out vs the best team in the nhl. Great game by the Jets, that’s one you can use to help build character with.

700 career win for PoMo puts him in 6th place all time

Lets hope Letustu recovers from his injury and is then waived

 

[Deedog99]

Up to 10 points in 10 games now for 2nd in the division. We are at least keeping up with everyone else in the division which is good. Minny, Dallas and Chicago have had a rough run out of the gate. If we can keep pace good chance we finish top 4 in the division.

Trouble is there could be 5 pacific teams that make playoffs

Sounds like a nice number to retire on.
