I think I'm going to start just watching the first and second period of games.... Then turn it off.

I can't take these " let's find a way to lose " third periods anymore. :pullhair:

Thoughts:

Trouba looks like he hasn't lost a step since before the injury. The kid is amazing.

We need to stop turtling in the third. I understand protecting the lead, but what we're doing is ridiculous.

Holden is young. I'm younger, but I happened to catch a glimpse of a retired Gillies jersey on the Islanders feed earlier in the game, and figured that it wasn't Colton.

I miss the East.

Kane is actually starting to look... Dare I say, aware that he has teammates and it doesn't work to try to do it all by himself the same way all the time?

Little is still great, even though he hasn't scored the last few games.

Stuart from Wright? Really?

So I've had two wild revelations today:

1) You're younger than me. I always thought you were a guy in his 30s.

2) Holden, who is one of the most knowledgeable hockey guys I've ever met (it's not an act, I've met him IRL, he knows his **** :laugh:) didn't know who Clark Gillies was.

Shenanigans. Next you're going to tell me that Hammer Slammer doesn't hammer, nor does he slam.

Was wondering why all these trivial little hooks and grabs were turning into penalties until I saw that the refs had their Zoomies on.

Its just nice to get a whiff of optimism now and then.

True dat. We really should have had one or two of those games against Minny - Chicago? Well, we hung with them for most of the last game. :nod:

And: we only have to play them once more each. :D

It is quite amazing that two teams can wreak so much havoc with our record.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing :laugh:

Yeah, the whole "let's back the hell off and play defensively to hold on to the win" strategy in the third is going to give me a stroke one of these days :rant:

Does anyone disagree with my opinion that Trouba is the most valuable player for the Jets right now? If you disagree, which player is more important to the success of the Jets the rest of the year ?

I was thinking that when they were already allowing the NYI a full-court press 5 minutes into the third period. This is really going to be our strategy for, like, fifteen entire minutes??? But ... it worked.

Wright almost got two points tonight , that was a nice play and very nice feed to Kane on the sh chance. A point or two , here and there would go a long way to making a positive difference for him. Let's see.

Little, Enström and Buff come to mind. And, honestly, Pavelec at the moment. But I take your point that he's right up there. He's really good. I was watching Little and he just does so many little things right all through the game. Same with Toby ... boy is he intelligent with the puck.

It was great to finally play a team that has worse puck luck than the Jets! Whoo!

I feel good when Trouba is on the ice. Nervous when Buff is on.

Nice win! :hyper:
