Post-Game Talk: Jets tame Panthers 4-3

[Halberdier]

"I would bet on the 1st line to put some pucks to the net in the next games, that line is the least of the Jets problems. "

Called it Laine's turn for the goals next, man's due for a few I mean that shooting percentage

It's not only shooting percentage, though. Number of high danger shots is pretty low for Laine so far. He has been able to make excellent scoring changes for his mates, but not that much vice versa. Esp. Connor has been usually feasting on good dishes, but it's too rare he makes a play for Laine.

iHDCF is 29, 28 and 9 for #81, #55 and #29 respectively. That's a low number all things considered. Also iSCF for these guys: 78, 56 and 47 respectively.

Obviously Laine should have scored more on his scoring changes, but actually having 4 goals out of 47 scoring changes is "better" than 6 goals out of 78 scoring changes. Laine is used to have much higher real goal count than his ixG, since xG does not (usually) include shooting skill, SH% or anything, but this season his ixG is 4.72, which is higher than his real goal count of 4 (and I think one of those real goals was an empty netter anyway). Scheifele has been able to beat ixG with ~3 goals (8G vs. 5.26xG), and Ehlers has doubled the amount of real goals (8) versus expected goals (3.99).

Anyways, things are going pretty well for the Jets all things considered. It was really important that CSL got some rewards so that Maurice is not tempted to break them up soon and return to what we know that it's not working: the static duo Scheifele & Wheeler. No worries, we are going to see that line again (and again and again) in the future as Maurice continues to be the coach. I am just hopeful this current dream lasts more than 10 games.

Button gushing about mo. And he should be who had the jets middle of the pack in goals against and a wild card spot after 20 games.

I'm aware that quoting oneself is very cringey, but:

Same as it was before: wildcard contention. 10th-15th best team in the league. They have too much talent to be bad.

 

[AlphaLackey]

They are going to run Bobrovsky out of town if he keeps sucking.

He is signed long term for 70 million dollars.
ouch!

He's gonna be the worst cop in town for a good god dang long time.

Missing all these games is tough but I just can’t drag myself off the beach. Another miserable 30 degree day on Maui.

I hope you get sand in your drink and miss an awkward spot with your sunscreen.

Also this teams offense all came from controlled zone entries and three of the goals were off of seam passes or passes into the slot. We need to see more of that from this team as that is how our skilled players produce.

They did exactly what you and others criticized the team for not doing last game and in many games this season. Feels good seeing the adjustments.

Man I hate working 12's. I have seen like 3 live periods of Jets hockey in 3 weeks. What even is hockey anymore!? I live by PVR and it is like 100% less fun than watching live and posting on a live thread.

Word to the less-wise. Never work 12's. Never work night shifts. Yeah money is nice, but money is not fun when you have no time to use it, but nothing compares to the memories of watching live hockey with the people and message board family you have grown to love. I now understand why all the 60 year old boomers at my work hate everything. Work makes you a jaded old man that yells at everything. Live kids, live while you can.

 

[PhilJets]

I'm staying away from the board as they seem to be winning if im not around

 

[PhilJets]

Oh nice win


Go Jets
Go!!!


Keep it up

Ya i work shift work , it sucks . One good thing about PVR though is being able to fast forward through commercials and Dweib's World .

Don't tell my wife, but I actually watched the 1st period live, stupid me. I know I probably look like a (sad) panda now. 2AM is not for human beings.

 

[Jets 31]

We need to figure out who to put on our 4th line , it's just not getting anything accomplished right now and it's eventually gonna tire out the team playing just 3 lines . Helly , hope you got a good rest Tampa next and they only scored 9 goals last night . Mind you they were playing the Rangers and that horrible defense with that Pionk guy ............. wait .

You should try working at that time , it's brutal , talk about no life . Although i do give you credit for staying up to watch the Jets , good fan .

Wrong place for pity lol
Enjoy

Well deserved, Patty!

What did the boys scream after Patty's speech?

 

[kanadalainen]

Chef shows us how beautiful the game can be. I wish that his parents would attend every Jets game.

CSL was great this game. Laine's new hat-trick = 3 assists. Kulikov is a disaster. What did this guy show to ever garner a 4.33m/year deal? guy is absolute garbage. 0 puck skills offensively and below average defensively. Should have traded him and kept Chiarot, at least he would've cost less. This guy wouldn't get claimed if waived even.

I never understand the calling of a player absolute garbage, and then in the same breath saying they should've traded him. If he's that bad, who is going to trade for him?

cap dump trade. like a 4th+Kulikov for a 2021 7th

This year's Laine is going to be an absolute star in this league. Not only is he an elite goal scorer, he is becoming a tremendous play maker and he has upped his defensive game 10 fold. For the life of me I can't believe some still argue he should be kept as a 1 dimensional shooter.

Great game by Laine. He still has to work on his decision making (that attempted high-risk pass when he had a clear shot on net in the first was infuriating, but he made up for it).

 

[DannyGallivan]

Scheifele was the best Jet on the ice, and seemed to improve his defensive game. Great eyes on that pass to Morrissey (who was probably the third best Jet last night after Scheifele and Laine, although I'd also have to give Lowry a lot of consideration).

Good to see.

Scheifele read HF boards and was tired of his game getting shitted on. He was really good last night, that whole top-line was..... and the couple mins ESL was together too

I think because he said lets get back on the road so i can get more points and the boys all yelled oooooooooh.

You saw the cap dumps this offseason and think a 4th will do it?

He's only signed until the end of the year. Chiarot got 3 years. I'm fine with the trade off.

 

[bennylundholm]

We still have him because noone will take him even in a cap dump.
Would you take on an absolute garbage defenceman and his 4.33 million dollar salary if it only included a 4th rounder?
The Jets would would have to give up a 1st or 2nd or a top prospect for a team to take Kulikov. Ain't happenin. That's why he's still here.

i am not sure what exactly would do it, but i doubt it would cost a high-end asset (like a 1st or top prospect)

i am sure there's a GM that sees a Kulikov a D averaging 20+mins/night and must surmise he must be good.

i don't think i would have given chiarot that term you're right, but id rather have chiarot 3.5m than kulikov 4.33m. neither are great options given their cap hits, but chiarot is less worse imo
