Post-Game Talk: Not enough horses, Jets lose 4-2

[SCP Guy]

Jets are like a 70 year old guy at the bunny ranch without Viagra….Just not enough firepower left to do any damage

 

[None]

Helle hasn't been as good as he can, neither has KFC or Dubois.

I still maintain that Hellebuyck needed to be rested more down the stretch.

 

[JetsFan815]

Guess which forward leads the Jets in 5v5 Corsi and xGoals?

Wheeler.

The man giving it his all... great to see. Wish we had been able to ice some more competitive teams during his prime years.

 

[TEH FIRST NOEL]

I need a wee dram, just to settle down a bit

 

[bustamente]

Does Chevy have the balls to blow up this team three players are the key if he does

 

[CorgisPer60]

The surprising TOI beneficiary of Scheifele going down was Stenlund. I'm surprised they didn't try getting more shifts from better players.

When your natural center goes down, you obviously have to elevate your fourth line center in place.

 

[surixon]

KFC has always been a perimeter player but he used to be able to score, he barely can do that this year which makes poor play even more noticeable.

He is the ultimate complimentary offebsuve player imo. He is so dependent on his linemates going and driving play for him. He doesn't drive much himself.

 

[TEH FIRST NOEL]

Sure some critical take can be warranted but we are down some key players. Scheifele, Morrisey, Ehlers and Perfetti.
Excuses are for losers but we have a talent level drop off with guys out.
It’s a best of 7. There is still a chance!

 

[Ggg99]

Tree was good.

I am going to go out on a limb, and say he was not the root of our problems tonight.

They may have won with a full roster but it's not a good enough group to contend imo.

Will be very interesting to see what changes are made this summer.

Anyhow the team as a whole is probably playing about as good as can be expected given our injuries.

Helle hasn't been as good as he can, neither has KFC or Dubois.

Maybe Helle gets into God mode and Perfetti and Ehlers cab get back for next game to give us a skill infusion.

Still I'm proud at how the team has stayed in the fight and has given all they can.

Tough one again. This team shows a lot to admire given all the injuries. Pionk is logging huge minutes and looks like his Canadian division self. Demelo had a high end first pass, something we don't see much because he always defers to Morrissey. He really stepped up. Samberg is amazing too. You win in the playoffs with guys like him.

Having said that, the stars on this team (at least those that aren't injured) need to be better. Dubois is getting too many penalties and looked gassed tonight. Connor is way too inconsistent and tentative. It says a lot that I wanted the 3rd line out there with the goalie pulled. The elite players just haven't put this team on their backs and they really need to show up.

Sure some critical take can be warranted but we are down some key players. Scheifele, Morrisey, Ehlers and Perfetti.

Well said, the team is going hard, and I have to respect the praise that you are throwing down.

prob not, especially after paurice absconding. he's most likely afraid that he's next on the chopping block... just act like "all is well"

 

[Been around]

Were missing a 1 c, 1 d, and 2 top 6 players, albeit one is a rookie but very talented...against the no.1 seed in the west..

 

[jetsforever]

Unless they literally can't skate I want to see Ehlers and Scheifele back in next game.

 

[roccerfeller]

It is what it is

Is there any other team in the playoffs facing the same number of key injuries we have?

 

[Gnova]

Meh, good game to watch, shit result.

How well can a bubble team do when it is without 1/2 the top six and the #1D.

We seem to say this every f***ing playoff series though.

 

[None]

Yeah, I'm mildly surprised they didn't manage to work in one or two extra Dubois/Lowry/Namestnikov shifts or even throwing Wheeler over the boards as center just to get more out of those lost Scheifele minutes.
Gassed from the 2OT the other night is probably enough justification though.

 

[Ggg99]

It is what it is. Cheveldayoff can't run this back next year. They just aren't good enough.

The “process” is almost complete. Just the “disassembly” phase is left.

 

[Orrrules]

Injuries to top players and a cold goalie equals a quick exit. Off-season is going to be interesting.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Hey all, another night really trying to rep the team, but another rough game. Three of our top six and our best top D, that's a huge hit. Bad breaks happen, and there's no point lamenting that much, but boy oh boy am I getting an "end of an era" vibe already.

If so, I'll take solace that we had a great run, we've had times where we've seen management pull the trigger and do what needs to be done; well, what needs to be done now is what needed doing with Old Yeller, and it's time to pull the trigger on the core one more time.

Having said that, there's no points for resigning early, so I'll be there cheering at least one more time

 

[Fatdrunk]

The team is not built for the playoffs. TNSE will have to do better to attract any new season ticket subscribers next season.

Tampa came close game 2 and 3 and they are also down 3 to 1. It's hard to weather a number of key injuries.

[Gnova]

Oh, and f*** the stupid loser white out gimmick.

I was against it the first time the 2.0 Jets made the post season and even more tired of it now.

 

[bustamente]

Chevy has to find a way of off loading Schmidt in the off season, being funny is not enough

our injuries are not due to vegas being physical...
