Post-Game Talk: JUMP TO THE PUMP: Jets have gas in 5-2 win over Sabres

[Jetsfan79]

Ok guys let's nip this in the bud. STOP perpetuating the "frauds" knickname !

Do you really what this to be a "thing" ? It's like getting an undesirable knickname like "stinky" "Jerks" has at least some edge to it Frauds does not

 

[WolfHouse]

Really happy for Perfetti to get a point although that is least sexiest point of his career off a backhand chip out of the zone.

Morrissey entering elite d-man conversations. What a pleasure that we get to watch him play for the Jets.

The Jets best game since I wanna say the Vancouver game.

UPL made some big saves but let a couple of softies that were back breaking. Another team that could've traded for Helle this summer but refused to... oh well.

Man if Ehlers tells the Jets to screw off this summer when it comes to talking an extension, can't say I'll blame him. If there is any Jet who has the right to show this org the middle finger and test UFA it is him. And it is not a loss we will easily recover from considering how ass that top line is without him.

Glad for the win but this game once again showed me that Bowness' decisions are the biggest thing standing in the way of the Jets this playoffs.

Its getting pretty clear Helle was never on the block...

Bones preaches shoot, shoot, shoot so Ehlers does... he needs a net crasher

I'd say get Nino back on his line but thats not going to happen - I'd sell the farm for a second line finisher for him...

"Fraud? You talkin to me?"

I’m talking about the Jets organization, players, staff, fans and members of this board.

 

[cbcwpg]

Nice they can win coming from behind…but let’s not make it a habit to be behind going into the third…. MMMMMMMK!

Lol, I know. That could be the quote on the shirt.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Only caught the first two periods, due to needing to head down to game 1 of the HTJHL finals - I actually expected the comeback, thought they looked real good in the first two, just on the wrong end of the scoreboard.

Happy to see the bounces go their way in the third.

[Atoyot]

Absolutely they had the Sabres on the run the whole third period but the first two period saw them have multiple chances with no rewards.

That'll happen. If they're getting multiple chances the rewards will come. Not scoring on them for a stretch is just natural variance.

 

[snowkiddin]

There’s the pushback we like to see.

Jets showed great heart tonight!

 

[KingBogo]

Bones decisions just ignited another comeback. Sometimes player moves aren't demotions and are instead used to get more players contributing. I think Nikki is fine being used to jump start lines, it is not like he was benched.

So Marty, Bones gets no credit for you?

 

[snowkiddin]

Also, wtf, why are the Sabres so bad? Dahlin looked awful for a #1 D, and I barely heard Power’s name

They just erupted again in the 3rd. I don't think professional athletes are as petty as you are trying to portray them. Personally I like that Bones has started pulling out the blender more. Top teams are never afraid to give different looks when chasing games. It is amazing how often it leads to success.

 

[Buffdog]

2nd overall I the league according to points %

If it weren't for "Elite Coach Extraordinaire" PoMo and the Panthers....

In 2018 I would never have predicted that out of Trouba/Morrissey it would be Morrissey that would turn out to be the elite d-man. Just remarkable progress from him and stagnation from Trouba.

Seriously what the f*** do they see in Iafallo

Give Barron a second line shot. I didn't love him in the top 6 last year but 10 goals 99% of the time as a 4th liner is pretty damn good. Has size and more speed than Iafallo too. He deserves a look.

Iafallo has a good stick, knocks pucks down, on the forecheck he creates a disruptive force for the opponent to deal with more often than not and in his own zone he makes safe plays and is not easy body for the offensive players to navigate. But offensively with the puck on his stick he is totally lost. I am actually surprised how he was a consistent ~45 point scorer for the Kings through his career there. I think he can be a good fit as a "digger" to prolong o-zone time and keep the d-zone clean but hard to see him driving any offense.

Agreed about Barron, he seems to have a higher ceiling. To be honest even him getting a shot on the 3rd line ahead of Apples would be good.

I hope you are right Bogo as I wanna see Ehlers sign an 8 year extension and retire as a Jet but it's not just me. This sentiment seems to be pretty prevalent and Murat raised in his latest Athletic piece too and an NHL Agent (not Ehlers' mind you) replied to him that if he was 27's agent he'd advise him against re-signing with this club. Not my words, Murat and an anonymous NHL agent's.

It's not about pettiness but about maximizing earnings. I'm sure his agent and he are well aware that due to usage, points have been left on the table and that will impact his next deal. To a large extent he's been sandbagged by the team with second line and second pp usage when he's clearly a top line player.

I stand by my opinion that the Jets won't pay a premium to keep him and imo that is the only way he stays.

The fraud poster Sip picks the right team to win and the right score!

I think it's perfect. There isn't much that's more motivating than being called a fraud

It's only funny if it's true though... won't be as funny when we lose 4 in a row

 

[jungles]

Power has been out since 1:30. Listened to Paul Edmonds on the radio for the whole game. Do not recommend. I've never been more stressed out. My hands are in a permanent claw formation.

How did we look?

 

[Mud Turtle]

Second best winning percentage in the league!
Very well deserved win tonight. They worked hard and it paid off in the third.

Bones used Ehlers once again to jump start the team, just by moving him from a line where he wasn't needed to somewhere that he was. The negativity around here runs so very deep. I'm betting Nikki feels a lot better about being the team catalyst it than people try to make it out to be.

Agreed! I wouldn't come back either and imo the Jets won't be in the cap position to give him what he'll want to stay. Hard to pay 8 plus million to a player who you use on your sedlcond line.

Jets were the better team throughout, the chances just went in in the 3rd.

nice to see we get seattle on the second half of a b2b
