Post-Game Talk: LA 4 - WPG 1

[Adam da bomb]

Just the usual people salivating to shit on the Jets. Been a tough season for them up to this point so they're getting their money's worth.

The game the Jets are playing is extremely demanding and you can see it's taking a toll. Add in the heavy schedule and travel and that everyone's trying to take down the big dog and you can see why we're a bit flat right now.

Id like to see the Jets be able to recognize this and adjust their game when needed. Play a more defensive game and look for counters. That would be good for us come playoff time when things tighten up.

Id also love to see Arniel give guys the odd night off, especially when they're looking tired. Not only will it refresh them and give someone else an opportunity, but when guys get tired they're more susceptible to injury.

First guy I'd rest is Schiefele. His game has fallen off a cliff the past week.


Thompson should buy the Jets a jumbo jet with lay flat beds and trainer areas so guys can get therapy work done as they travel

Yep give Slow Gus a few games.
Surprised by people being down on Heiny I mean I thought he has been great and will be better than chis. People will be down on whoever is in that 3rd line 6th man spot.

Wrong. The Jets do not match up well against teams that play heavy and hard. I think upgrades are required .


Do you think the Jets are truly a #1 team? I do not get the sense they are a juggernaut but they are good. Should make the playoffs but not sure they will go far.

Ok it’s easy to call down any team after a bad performance so since you are the expert please tell us who the number one team is so we can all make easy money on betting with your expert advise.

They didn't look great for sure and the scoring has dried up.

This team does seem to need some time off.

 

[sipowicz]

We've been playing like shit for a while now. Hopefully it doesn't last. This is how bad the habits become losing streaks.

Kinda like HF Boards where one pop up a session now has become 3-4 pop up ads splashed across the page...

Can someone make a Debbie Downer thread for the happy people who enjoy calling the Jets after a loss. I would but I am not allowed my privileges got taken away lol.
Everyone who watched the game knows that was not their A game no need to call down a top team unless of course you are not a fan of the Jets and that’s why there’s 31 other team threads.
And no I do not block anyone I read everyone’s opinions but some people who didn’t watch the game start repeating and believing the negative comments which is sad.

Slow Gus can take Perfetans spot as neither seem to be able to do much offensivley, but at least slow Gus can win a puck battle!

18-5 record

Reactions from some people …..

I don't mind if they get their money's worth, but all that saliva flying around is kind of gross.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Game reminded me of the 90s Devils. Ice looked like shit and there was so much clutching and grabbing and zero flow to that game. just put it behind you and move on

 

[Stumbledore]

That's the beauty of retirement (so I hear), do whatever the heck you want.

The problem with retirement is that (for most people) your mind turns to mush and your body doesn't do half the things you want to.

Na i just think some of us need a hug , i know i sure do .

Well I'd offer but Buggs would shit himself that it was creepy.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Scheifele doesn't look healthy to me, maybe he needs to take a week off and deal with whatever it is he's dealing with. He's not helping the team out there right now.

His legs look fine, but it’s like he’s playing with one working arm. Loses just about every puck battle, and loses possession so easily when trying to make plays off the rush.

Seemed like it started in the Nashville game. Maybe against Pittsburgh? But that was such a no show opponent that you couldn’t really tell.

It's his second game after a horrific year. He gets a lot of rope with me

I think it's his hand after that fight

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Playing .500 on the road.
The winning streak was great.
Let’s just learn from these games
All the teams are gearing up to play the Jets since we currently the best team in NHL and every game is going be tough playoff like game
Is it too early to prepare for playoffs ?

I said pardon?

 

[PaulPooley]

The team is obviously off to a great start to the season being first overall at U.S. Thanksgiving. Hopefully the struggles we’re seeing on this road trip are indeed just due to fatigue and key guys being banged up and not some inevitable return to inconsistent efforts and the faintly distressing sense that this core isn’t capable of delivering come playoff time.

 

[GNP]

No he won't talk about that, he'd rather complain about Pionk and Stanley.

I hate to single out Ehlers but man he's a vet, and proclaimed to be some mega star stats darling but he seems to totally lack the ability to step up when needed.

That second line really needs a guy who actually gets shit done and can actually drive that line to results, like a Lowry.

Id still like to see Kupari get a shot at centering that line. I know I know, the kid doesn't produce points like we would like to see but his speed and forecheck along with his faceoff ability might be able to open up looks for 91 and 27.

I'm guessing Namestnikov is pretty banned up right now. That guy takes such a beating night in and night out

I'd like to see this as well, to see if it will add some spark. Kupari doesn't have the best scoring hands, but he can set up Ehlers and Perfetti to do the scoring on that 2nd line. Names is good, and he hustles, but maybe they could rotate them in that position, and see what happens. I'd very much like to see this. Kupari is a very fast penetrating forward.

Sorry, I meant Buffdog not you lol.

If that's the measuring stick, then I'm already retired!
