Post-Game Talk: Mustard Stains 4 - Jets 1

[Whis]

Haven't seen it discussed by media yet, not sure if it has been discussed here but pretty sure 55 is dealing with a shoulder issue. If you go back to after his 3rd goal the other night against Florida - there is a few second clip after the goal where he is getting his right shoulder worked on by a trainer on the bench. Def knew something was up this game because 81 was taking faceoffs instead of him.

I honestly think Perfetti has been way better this year. It feels like it is more unlucky that he hasn't had more points at 5 on 5. Sure you need to score, but he will breakthrough as long as you keep giving that line time.

Id try moving pionk up with Morrissey.

That allows us to insulate say Heinola if they choose to call him up with Smoke.

Then we can run the remainder as usual.

I want Stanley back, I think he's been better than Fleury who while a good skater has a pretty awful first pass and likes to ice the puck.

This is why the analytics are misleading.
The first Preds goal Scheifele takes the man out in front of Comrie but its a seeing eye shot from the point 1-0 Preds. .. minus one for #55.
The 3rd Preds goal Morrissey pinches in and Preds are 2 on 1 break the other way Comrie stops it and rebound goes by 2 Jets onto Preds stick ... minus two for #55.
Empty net goal minus 3 for #55.
Scheifele also gets 3 minor penalties?
The Jets did not lose because of Scheifele but the analytics point to that direction.

The Jets didn’t lose because of 55 you are right. Other than Conrie they were mostly all not good. But that line was significantly out played all over the ice. 13 and 81 are just as much to blame as 55, turning over pucks, cheating for offense (which they always do but last night it didn’t work) and taking really long shifts and then changing at bad times. 13 was a ghost, at least it looked like 81 was trying. They were on for a bunch of goals as well as one that was disallowed for an offside but was a terrible defensive play by them. 55 and 81 have been mostly fantastic this year but this was a night where they were among the worst Jets.

This was a group as whole that looked like they tried but just ran out of gas in the back half of the game.

Crappy news about Snerg. Hopefully Ville shows himself capable and can run with the opportunity.

Could be perfect timing

7-3 in our last 10 .

Well I agree with what you say about defending as a 5 man unit in principle, from watching the games Samberg has taken on a key defensive role. I would that 90% of the time that Lowry's on the ice, it is either Morrissey-De Melo or Samberg-Pionk in that defensive role against top 6 players, often in the defensive zone. Then there is the PK where Samberg has been solid on the top unit. Big skates to fill, and tough break for the guy in a breakout year.

What I see down the depth chart is Fleury struggling to make reads and move the puck cleanly, on a sheltered bottom pairing. Heinola is not going to be thrust in a top 4 defensive role, maybe he plays with Pionk in a more offensive one, and Josh has to eat more hard defensive minutes in Samberg's absence. Stanley does not seem capable of steady 20 minutes per night hockey, though he may take some of those PK minutes. It's generally a hole when you lose a top 4 defenseman, and the Jets are not stacked with depth on defense in the top 4 sense. That's where I wonder if Salomonsson would come in and play his offside, as he did in preseason. Skating wise, and physically you are looking at a similar type player, but is he ready for the NHL? This is going to be an interesting period for the Jets, where they are going to have to rely on stronger defensive play from their forwards to negate the loss of a top defensive d-man.

Yeah this will be interesting for sure. Ville may be hard pressed to handle 20 mins. Maybe throwing him into the fire is exactly what he needs, and we worry about managing the fatigue a week from now?

If we throw Stanley up with Pionk I fear we may get murdered... but someone needs to play there and Ville is such a wild card.

Like you say, Fleury has been mediocre at best which is what he is. Top 4 would be real bad with him too I bet.

Salo coming up is interesting. I think Ville is a better bet to step in and play top 4 right now but that one is a hunch, no one knows for sure.
