Post-Game Talk: Lundqvist'd. Jets lose 3-1.

[Daximus]

Right?

"Here comes the losing streak in full steam lololol"

Jets go 13-3-4 in next 20 games. Number of posts: 0

Jets lose 2 in a row?

"Lolo here comes another final third collapse, just like the one they had last year except they didn't really have it because I'm just making **** up lolol"

Seems like I'm the only one here saying anything negative about our lose today. But yes I just show up when we lose which is why I have over 16,000 posts on this site. Because I just show up when we lose.

Maybe in the Atlantic division. All it takes is loses vs wins. We lose and the other team wins and that is ground gained. Obviously the worry upsets some people because they think we are unstoppable right now. We really aren't though. We got pretty lucky Dallas got stomped or they are within 1 point of us.

Sure wins and losses matter, but teams fluctuate. The Jets last 10 games they have gotten .7 percent of the points available which is pretty darn good and ties them for first in the central over that time period (That is with the back to back losses). Maybe if we loss a few more then I will start to worry a bit. Right now our competition is losing just as much as we are so no cause for concern.

The Jets imo will snap out of their funk and start winning again soon. Its just as likely that other teams start to falter as well.

You're not the only one, and it's not you. Check the first few pages.

We're nothing close to unstoppable.
We are very good with a healthy lineup - we are not nearly as good when we start filling holes.
We lost a couple in a row - not shocked. We need our complete roster to compete in this division - I'm not going to kid myself.
Hendricks back today - we were better. Lowry and Tanev back - we're a lot better.
Scheif needs time - hopefully another game or two will do it.

I'm just saying it's not a great trend especially with the Caps up next who usually destroy us. 6-2 against us in the last 4 seasons.

Maybe it’s time to split up Wheeler and Scheif for a bit. Can always put them back together.

Little with Laine doesn’t seem to work. Laine is not getting any looks other than on the power play.

Fire everybody



Just a hot goaltender hard to win when the other guy posts a .975 or whatever it was

Yeah being down 2 games since Scheif has been back has not been great. Might not be a bad idea to separate Scheif and Wheels. Move Wheels back to center and try and spread the offence out a bit.

No slumps are never good or fun but all teams have them. The key will be to play like we did in the 1st and third period all night against them and if we do I like our chances of winning.

I thought Laine was fine through the nz at ES but Ehlers was really botching things for that line.

We're not scoring, and what we see is the result when our goaltending can't steal games for us. There is no reason to panic, but we do need to find ways to score again.

Also, I think Petan is bringing absolutely nothing to our game. Just my hot take though.

Of course not, how is someone who gets 6 minutes of ice time supposed to contribute?

You have two of the top young players in the AHL this year (Roslovic and Petan), on any other NHL team, they would be utilized much more extensively. Only in Winnipeg do they get their ass stapled to the bench.

Too many here drinking the Maurice Kool Aid. Fans across Canada know the Jets have talent and I know a few who say the same........ not the right coach. Until the Jets get coach with a winning track record who knows how to roll out 4 lines effectively, mediocrity is all that will be achieved.

Don't read too much into some of this.

When we lose:

Some of us will be hard on the players
Some of us will be hard on the posters that are hard on the players

both are result of frustration

 

[EpicGingy]

I won't be worried unless they lose another two in a row.

 

[bustamente]

It's a funny game pretty well everyone thought we should win this one easily, just like Dallas would have no problem beating the Canucks................hey that's why they play the games I guess, everything is not going to be unicorns and rainbows with this team we have some holes to fill, and roster moves that need to be made but that won't happen this year.

Every coach does this. Babcock, Quennville, Cooper. Doesn't matter if you have won a cup all coaches role with vets over young guys. It's not something unique to Mo's coaching style.

Hard to fault him tonight, so much of the game was played on special teams that it disrupted his ability to get the 4th line out there. This is also why I don't like putting kids who are still developing on the 4th as some games its hard to find them any ice time.

 

[Maukkis]

What is our record with and without Lowry?

 

[CorgisPer60]

We miss him more than you would expect from a third-line center. Really too bad that he tried to come back too early.

 

[surixon]

We also miss Trouba quite a bit. I would like to see Buff back with Morrissey and Kulikov back with Myers, let Toby play with Poolman on the third pair.

 

[JetsFan815]

I don't think Jets were good at all in this game. They were playing against the Rangers, quite possibly the softest team in the league. You need a better statement against a weak team like that esp coming off of a humiliating loss.

Just truly awful games by Ehlers and Armia. I saw that Armia was struggling really bad and constantly turning over the puck and losing battles in the middle of the 2nd period and was hoping that he would get swapped with Roslovic. That didn't happen and low and behold, Armia cost us on the GWG by not being able to get the puck out.

Ehlers should have been benched that game.

Fire Noel Trade Pavelec

 

[Eyeseeing]

St.Louis, Dallas and us all lost
No harm no foul

 

[winnipegger]

I don't get the fascination with Ehlers Little Laine. It's been said a million times but the chemistry just doesn't work with those 3 players. Getting the puck off the wall in the DZ is a nightmare every time.

[Jets 31]

Just got back from the game , very frustrating game , have to say to me the Jets came out flying and it should have been 3-0 after the first period . I didn't like the Rangers first goal , very week goal , Helly has to make that save . Don't get me started on the refs , they were horrible . Need a big game and a win against Washington .

Agree -
Ehlers and Laine are both useless along the wall or in the corners and this has been discussed to death. Little was being thrown to the wolves in most discussions because he wasn't able to do all the work necessary to feed the other two.
