Post-Game Talk: Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye - Jets Win 5-0

[Gnova]

Okay, back to the game. Can we bask just a bit more in Lowry's dominance?

Pretty picture.
Am I supposed to drop acid to understand it?

I love the graphics, but the simplest is the shot chart, for and against. One shot attempt against 5v5.

OK, as promised, here's some snaps from here in Honduras of some guys who, deep down, are Jets fans;

On to round two!

Personally I don't buy Ehlers being a healthy scratch. Also don't buy the concussion theory. My best guess is the injury from the slash still has some swelling with a lot of associated pain. Fly likely pushing to get in and Mo holding him back due to where the series stood. I have little doubt Mo was very confident in the team in how the handled game 4 that they had more than enough horses to be cautious with Ehlers.

Finally a little sanity on this subject...

Thanks kingbogo...

 

[Ducky10]

Is this a joke post?

Best to just believe that, for sanity sake.

 

[Channelcat]

So last year it was Scheißele with the runs, and now it is Ehlers. Still... diarrhea is plausible, healthy scratch is not.

I'll believe it when I see it.

If you've watched any of the NHL Playoffs, you've noticed that each home team's arena has been absolutely electric, as they should be in the postseason. While it's unfair to claim any one fanbase is the most rabid, it sure does seem like Winnipeg Jets fans might take the cake in 2018.


The Jets fans signature whiteout, which dates back to the original franchise's playoff runs in 1987, is a sight to behold, and somehow 15,000+ in Bell MTS Place not only dress in unison, but they chant in unison. It makes for possibly the most wild atmosphere in the playoffs, and it gave the Minnesota Wild absolute fits in a quick five-game series that Winnipeg ended on Friday night. In three games at home, the Jets outscored Minnesota 12-3, including Friday's 5-0 drubbing, sending the Wild packing in the first round for the third consecutive season.

This golf-related chant from Winnipeg Jets fans is one of the better ones you'll ever hear - Golf Digest

I find Romanuk and Galley are attempting to call it up the middle...kind of cheering for both. We're all so used to the homer call - and not that Beyak is a super homer like Jack Edwards or anything but he's got a definite pro-Jets tilt - that anything not explicitly pro-Jets is regarded as hostile.

They try that wayyyyy too hard. There is no need to be neutral between a Canadian team and an American one. They are providing the 'home team' broadcast here.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Why the hell do you guys need these broadcasters to give you Jets fans a back rub? I don’t need them to be “rah rah” for the Jets. I just need them to be insightful on both teams.

No "back rub" required. Just quite pumping the opposition. They need to recognize who their audience is.

 

[EastRiver]

Obviously it was not a "concussion" Just some symptoms that might turn out to be a concussion or might not. You are missing that part

NO way it is a concussion, as you quoted in your earlier post Maurice said he would play him if it was 2-2 or 3-3. Maurice would not play anyone with concussion symptoms regardless of what the series was it. To clarify symptoms of a concussion = concussion. A concussion is diagnosed based on 1) a mechanism of injury and 2) symptoms.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

But Enström is beyond useless in the playoffs. Always has, always will. If he’s even playing at all

Are you seriously trying to perpetuate this myth?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

The feed was used as the national US broadcast, so calling it down the middle is the correct call.

Home team broadcasts are picked up and used by others fairly often AFAIK. A little home leaning is entirely acceptable.

If SN can't represent the home team against an American based team then they should bow out.

I'm not looking for blatant homerism, just quit blowing smoke up the opposition's ***.

 

[Tommigun]

How do you think Enström has fared in this year’s playoffs so far?

Thanks kingbogo...

finally??

 

[Inflict]

Did anyone catch this? Apparently Poolman's dad had knee surgery the morning before the game then drove all the way to Winnipeg to watch his son play. What a badass.

With family on hand, Tucker Poolman helps Jets advance

as you quoted in your earlier post Maurice said he would play him if it was 2-2 or 3-3

No that's not what he said.
He said "would I've made the same decision at 2-2 or 3-3. Probably not"

This is not the same as saying that he would have played in the game. Sorry you are wrong in that. He might have played is more accurate.

LOL. Straws. You're clutching at them.

LOL. Straws. You're clutching at them.

People can make their own conclusions based on what he said. I have no issue with that, but I don't think it's right to claim Maurice said something that he didn't.

I was just setting the record straight with my post, correcting the inaccuracy. I'm not trying to change any minds.

OK then.

He hasn't played, how is that fair?

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Went to Europe with my wife for 2 weeks... scheduled it for April because I forgot to the playoffs existed.

Watched the first game at midnight in the hotel room but just woke up to the scores for the rest, lots of PVR action today.

LOL. I was just thinking the same thing but I'm not a fancy stats guy if that's what the chart is depicting. I do like those heat maps tho
