Post-Game Talk: Just not good enough, Jets lose 2-1

[ovythegiraffe]

Frustrating to watch dump and chase hockey down one when it's not working at all. Only saw the last period, so can't comment much but offense felt a bit messy.

Still in the wild card spot though!

lets just hope jomo is back next game

Frustrating game.

Brother you said it, more so than yesterday

 

[bluefan]

Sigh.... please Chevy don’t be a buyer tomorrow.

As sub par as a GM he is, he's not that stupid.







Hopefully.

We are not going to win with only 1 line being able to create any offense. Other than Scheifele, Wheeler and Harkins I don't think any other Jet got an actual scoring chance. Ehlers maybe had 1 or 2 but after that a black hole.

 

[DRW204]

Coach flat out doesn't like niku. Although he's not even that great would rather see him in bitetto. Oh well he'll be dealt tmrw.

it's games like these where you need that 4th line goal

 

[bustamente]

Your second line cannot have Copp as it's centre

With a comment like that I'd expect that you would have reasons for us to be positive? We had a good sheltered skill line in Harkins-Roslo-Appleton eating up the competition that got disassembled for no reason. We lost one of our two defensemen that can contribute offensively and replaced him with a defenseman that is a liability in every area of the ice, rather than a defenseman that can contribute offensively and is a liability defensively in Niku. We continue to have one of our best all around players in Ehlers shuffled down the lineup. We continue to see defensive liabilities like Connor, Scheifele and Wheeler played in every situation.

Maurice doesn't know his ass from his elbow. I see no reason to be positive as long as he is at the helm.

Don't fret, it's only not working this season because Little is out and he can't form the two headed hydra, 55-26 and 18-29. We're almost there, 55-26 are already back, being as awesome as ever. Next season Little will be back and the two super duos will tear the league a new one just like in the past.

Living the dream.

Team better be score board watching for the rest of the season. They're simply just not good enough to make it into post season without massive help.

#JustNotGoodEnough

They literally can not get much more help. Very lucky to be in the West this year

90 points might get them in

"One day, some time in the future, it will work" -Paul Maurice (probably)

 

[LowLefty]

Move Wheeler back to the 2nd line (center) - I love Copp but he can't center a line with 2 players that shoot.

 

[cbcwpg]

“Just not good enough”

That’s all I need to read from the thread title.

 

[Atoyot]

Yeah, that was the problem...

You're a defensive defenseman that likes defensive defensemen, we get it. We needed a defenseman that could create offense today and Maurice chose Bitetto. Then we proceeded to score one goal.

I'm not saying we would have for sure won if we played Niku, but I believe we would have had a better chance of winning.

 

[Keystone]

Your second line cannot have Copp as it's centre

I think Copp, Wheeler, Connor could maybe play a Down low cycle game with some success but I agree with you. Oh well. Pretty much need some bullish!t luck in the draft or we are screwed with Little’s lost year.

Living the dream.

Right now, I'd take Little as the 2nd line center in a heartbeat.

Post-game audio:

Players: Blake Wheeler, Cody Eakin & Jansen Harkins.

Coach Maurice scrum topics: What did he see from Jansen Harkins and why did he make the move? Wheeler/Scheifele willingness to feed Harkins the puck. Was Josh Morrissey a game-time decision? Why Bitetto over Niku? Is there a concern with Morrissey? The game overall. Today's loss. What caught his attention from Cody Eakins?

26 should be center.

 

[Jets 31]

Jets had no legs , looked like a very tired team . Only a couple of seconds of PP all game didn't help either especially when Buffalo got 4 PP's . Needed this win bad , BooBoo is just a horrible hockey player , the guy can't skate . Hope Morrissey isn't out for any time and Copp needs to get away from the second line .

 

[ovythegiraffe]

Another brilliant move by our forever a hack coach. You lose Morrissey and you put in Bitetto? That is amateur hour. There is no way you shouldn’t be using Niku in that spot.

Ehlers is the most effective player by the minute so yeah let’s play him on the 3rd line because our coach can’t figure out how to get some players minutes.

Connor was absolutely useless today. I can’t believe we are stuck with this coach. He just isn’t good enough.

Was tied with Scheif in jets 5v5 point lead before today, so not just per minute production.

It's really bizarre that he keeps getting the short end of the stick after every not so great game by the team

 

[cbcwpg]

In no universe should Bitetto play over Niku. In most universes Bitetto shouldn’t be playing..period.

 

[Spock]

go and retrive pucks that he is the closest to, you can't lead him with any passes because his feet are stuck in cement

My humour clearly needs work, pardon my nature.

I was making a comment on him leaving the work to others, but that nobody is doing that work.

 

[hn777]

So glad, we didn't have to watch Ehlers with another great rush in the last minute of the game. After all, why did he pass to a D-man on the first one?

Zone entries are overvalued anyway, when we are only down one goal late in the game
