Post-Game Talk: Jets Smash Preds 6-2

[HannuJ]

Another great chant idea!

Malcolm's better!

 

[Cellee]

Malcolm's better!

No. None of that.

 

[Instincts]

Hey, nice to read this forum again. No arguing, blaming and giving up on a team cuz of one loss in 7 game series (and this team has lost only 3 games in post season).
Let's go and win it on Monday and prove classless POS Subban wrong again

Go watch the Jets goals with Punjabi commentary

 

[Jet]

I just can’t believe this! I did not expect this at all.
What I don’t get is why Nashville stopped playing the trap right from the start of the second period even before we scored.
It looked a lot more like Nashville stopped playing the trap than it did that we figured out how to beat it.
Am I wrong?

I noticed this too. I feel like the Preds deviated from their plan to be honest, and then when we scored they had to play a different way.

Full credit to our boys but it sure looks like the Preds (and Rinne) have shot themselves in the foot a lot in this series.

Really? I guess I'm just old but I remember a time when people smiled in their pictures.

If you're really really old you'll remember a time when they didn't.

 

[Maukkis]

No. None of that.

Chant 'Roman Josi' to make him jealous?

 

[Jet]

Wheeler - "when you go into their barn and you have 4 lines and 6 D men who can contribute...you win games"

Cappy gets it...

Wait, isn't it 4 D men? We all know Chia and Myers suck, right?

 

[Jet]

Series could be over. You think Perreault magically healed over the last 48?

Oh this is f***ing rich. Perreault would have won game 4 for the Jets. Did you watch the game?

Geez.

That's cause they were dead.

 

[Jet]

You're not just wrong, you're misunderstanding the purpose of playing trap style hockey.

Why would Nashville play a trap down in the game?

Read his post again.

 

[Jet]

They didn't attempt it at all. They were never ahead.

You'll see a return of them playing that way with success should the Jets ever fall behind early. Nashville learned their lesson after game 3.

I like our chances of never seeing it again though

Great game. What a shame the organizers of the event I'm working put the band on when every period started as opposed to letting them play during the intermissions.

Incorrect. They were trapping the Jets in the first, which was partially why we had nothing going.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Read his post again.

I did. He even responded directly to me.

His point was Nashville played a trap in the first period.

They didn't.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Incorrect. They were trapping the Jets in the first, which was partially why we had nothing going.

I didn't think so. I didn't see a 1-3-1 being used, rather it was an aggressive forecheck that Nashville employed.

EDIT: Lebrun just posted an Athletic article. He didn't see it either.

"Never trailing in the game prevented Nashville from being able to sit back and set up a wall again like Game 4."

 

[bustamente]

How inconsiderate for KC to score a goal when the great Nashville choir were going through their hymns, the NHL needs to step in and tell the ref's not to drop the puck until they are done, this new rule should be put in place next year when they have another home game

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This is th type of chant that makes me facepalm unless we’re up by 4 goals with 3 min left in the 3rd

 

[Jet]

I dont know if that catfish is alive but that blonde sure is.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Incorrect. They were trapping the Jets in the first, which was partially why we had nothing going.

If they were trapping, it was the worst demonstration of it ever.

 

[Skidooboy]

It has to be in their minds now.....

They lose at home, we take the best they can do and win.
The 2wins they have are in OT or 2-1 games....
They came in to the series believing they were the better team.

Now they have to be wondering.

 

[tbcwpg]

It wasn't the full trap that they played here. I believe that they don't think that they can trap fully AND score, so they need the goal before they sit back.

What they were doing was trying to force the d-man to go up the wall and then pressure the guy who takes the pass. They were making it tough to break out but not trapping.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Oh this is ****ing rich. Perreault would have won game 4 for the Jets. Did you watch the game?

Geez.

No, he wouldn't have won game 4. He might have helped to win it. Hendy contributed nothing - which meant his entire line contributed nothing. How is it even possible to argue that?

 

[Jet]

They were trapping. They had all but one in the neutral zone stepping up on the Jets for the first period.

In the second, inexplicably they started being more aggressive on their forecheck which allowed the Jets to build up speed through the center ice area. After the Jets scored the first goal, they had to change the game.

 

[YetAnotherGM]

There was no trap in the 1st period. The Jets couldn't make a single clean pass especially in their d-zone and neutral zone.

Once they got the goals the difference in the passing game was night and day.

They seemed playing tight to start the last few games. It would have been game over if Nashville had scored on their chances in the 1st.

Connor made a great save on Turris (I think) off a face off.

How is it “inexplicable?” You can’t win without scoring. At some point if you aren’t leading you can’t trap...
