Post-Game Talk: Jets win in a SO 3-2

[wpgallday1960]

Never led the whole game but got 2 points. Deserved or not 2points is 2 points. I accept the results.

 

[KiwiGriff]

Interesting that you chose them of all teams. I should have guessed based on the name. The Jets could learn defence structure from your squad.

The short answer is I ended up following Buffalo because they had Hasek in goal when I first got interested in hockey. Believe me, for the last ten years I’ve been wondering about my choice.

Time for some Clutch

Why not?

I must be the only one that likes Sanford's game -
Not sure I would throw him out there 3on3 but he's not a bad player
Fairly nifty in an unassuming way and is very hard on the puck - I wouldn't want to play against him.
Lowry likes him because he shows up - get the rest of them to do the same and he's back to bottom 6

So then why is the one who is the worst culprit never banished from the top 6. Its always Ehlers that takes to fall because coaches don't like his game.

If it was to send a message he did a horrible job at choosing who it was directed at.

 

[surixon]

Nice win! Deserved? Don't think so, But on to TO next.

Lowry continues to adopt the same general approach as Maurice did in the last few frustrating years - that is, he plays not to lose. Seems like the plan is to essentially try to retrench/fall back and then contain. Almost every team in the League now has speedy and skilled creative forwards - let them exit their end and traverse the neutral zone with little organized resistance and you're going to be in trouble. It doesn't look like there is any discernible tactical aggressive forecheck in Lowry's game plan at all..... .Not to mention the obvious problems created by playing so much of the game in our end.

Yup, I can't stand the defeatist mindset of this coaching staff but I'm sick of talking about it. This keeps up and I want a full org reset with a fully cleaned house, management and coaching.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

That was an absolutely beautiful shootout goal by Wheeler.

 

[surixon]

Ehlers turnovers were brutal tonight. He was really careless with the puck multiple times.

I mean the captain gave him a good run for his money in that regard tonight, as did Mr. Scheifele but you never see them held accountable for it. Hold all accountable or none, this rubbish of selective accountability is probably one of the reasons things are off the rails here.

I like Sanford's game, but in no world should he get more toi than Ehlers, especially in 3V3. Considering we were missing our top goal scorer makes it even more of a head scratcher. It's just nonsense.

 

[AlaskaJet]

If they play the Leafs tomorrow night, like they played Buffalo tonight, the Jets will get hammered. They have to clean up their game, and not turn over the puck so much. Helle won this game for us tonight. The coach has not taken control of this team, and it shows.

What coach? The guys won it out of the dressing room! And Helly!
He should wear the “C”

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Sanford must be doing something right to get this bunch to hate him that quickly.

I don't hate him persay. I'm questioning his usage. I think he may indeed be a good bottom 6, but his usage on the top line and in OT were puzzling.

My ire is directed at the coaching staff.

 

[AlaskaJet]

On the road listening to the Game & finally in range to Post.

Wins are gravy & hopefully we have KFC back soon.

With no coaching, our dogs do a pretty good job of driving the car!

 

[AlaskaJet]

I will admit that I was clenching a little bit when Stanley was killing that overtime penalty. He did a great job for the most part though (with the exception of the second block when he just sat there for a good 5 seconds) - good on him!

I hope our new coach next year goes completely ham with conditioning and fundamentals, because these starts have just killed us all season. The importance of playing with pace - skating, passing, changing etc. - really needs to be established. Also, minutes for merit earned.

Passing! Like you say..
We need to get better at keeping our heads on a swivel before the puck arrives..
Quicker passing is the key..

 

[Hobble]

Can we get a chant for new coaches in our last game? Need to make it clear that we need to clean house.

 

[Ducky10]

Lol.
The guy had a number of horrific giveaways and zero shots on goal.
The reality is nothing much to compliment him on tonight.
His OT winner was very, very good.

Wheeler
Goals-1
Shots-2
SF-6-
SA-6
SCF-9
SCA-6
HDCF-6
HDCA-2
XGF-.91
XGA-.69

Keep up the great takes, they never fail to impress.

Yeah, the notion that Ehlers needs to be sent a message is asinine. Connor out and somehow Lowry decides tonight is the night to hamstring his team even further by playing more Sanford.

As an aside, lots of yapping about Jet turnovers and who's responsible, This teams puck management is abysmal and has been for a long time. They've been committing neutral zone turnovers all year and the biggest culprit is this team has almost zero structure.

 

[JetsFan815]

Having to "win ugly" in a SO against the Sabres says it all about where this team is.

 

[Ducky10]

Missing Connor and Schmidt didn't help things tonight, lets be real. Finding out the morning of the game wasn't great either.

 

[robertocarlos]

Yeah, I mean technically at the microscopic level, he didn’t stop, but the intent of the “can’t stop” rule is so we don’t get goals like that where the goalie can’t possibly stop it.

A player from the other team should be allowed to chase the shooter just like it was a breakaway. Have the chaser start at the blue-line.
Or just flip a coin.

 

[Ducky10]

The micro analysis of Wheeler's SO goal is.........odd.

Which 100% falls on coaching. This team pond hockeys its way to being close to a playoff spot. Imagine what it could actually do with an actual plan and good structure.

That was my point.

Ehlers has been pretty underwhelming this season, before and after injury.

 

[snowkiddin]

Sabres shouldn’t be complaining about the officials that game lmfao

Onwards to a really fun place
