They should be so embarrassed with the way that ended!!!!

F’ng do not pull the goalie when you’re on the PP DUMBASS
It makes no sense. You pulled down 2...got the goal. You get a PP. Just play it 1 up. Now you have no shot. Its lame. Also, you've lost 3 of the last 4. Get your heads out of your asses.
Don’t like the strategy either… But we did make it 4-3 going with it so you know…

What do we know ? lol

Paul Maurice has a weird obsession with pulling the goalie when the team gets a power play and is down in the third period. I do not understand it. When you're down two with five minutes left, I can see that, it makes sense. The team is desperate. When you are down one and the power play is going to carry a full two minutes into the end of the game, why? Why would you do that?

You're giving the team free shots at the empty net. It is bad strategy. I'm sure some egghead out there (probably the same moron who thinks you should go for it on 4th and 2 at your own 20 in pro football) says it gives you a 1% higher statistical probability of winning...

... but that egghead isn't counting on the fact that your power play is quarterbacked by a 28 year old journeyman rookie.


Anyway, on to the next one. The Panthers are going to make the playoffs, and from there they just need to turn it on full time. Watching winnable games squip away stinks, though.

As I’ve said, I’m with you on that one.

I would maybe consider pulling Bob with one minute left, as some kind of disturbing/chaos strategy, having a new forward coming down attacking the play while the opposing PK is set… Just because you want the win and all.

But at the start of the PP with 2’15 left on the clock and you’ve made it back to one goal ?

Nah.

Too bad… Hellebuyck was a load tonight, and had some luck. Plays kept dying on our sticks in the o-zone. Two gimmes in the first hurt a lot.

Still showed it and came to play !!

Game has changed a lot, pre lockout you only pulled the goalie with a minute or a buck 30 left and only when down 1, pulling a goalie down 2 was unheard of. It has gotten more aggressive over the years.

Good comeback game for the Jets, weird decision to yank the goalie on the PP

Also we definitely need an upgrade on the bottom pair come playoffs.

I like Schmidt, I think him and Kulikov could be something !

Balinskis looks nice and all, but it all seems like empty calories in the end… I’m rooting for the guy, but I’m afraid it won’t work.

We need to try to make it work for Adam. He has the talent.

Balinskis may have tired to force that pass a bit at the blue line, you have a 6/4 man advantage you probably could’ve made a safer play. Sucks, but he’s overall played pretty well. I do think with how Schmidt has solidified himself along with being a former Maurice player that if we did pick up a D at the deadline that balinskis would be the odd man out but if so, it’s always good to have depth. I think he’s been very solid, plus it’s only been 20 games. Let him get close to a full season under his belt.
