I don't know how you can watch that game and say the fourth line was good.

Depends on what you expect from the 4th.
As a 4th line in a tight game, they played well enough to keep the puck in the right end of the rink most of the night.

I did not take that out of this game

Helle outgoalied Halak, they have managed to squeak out win and points out of many games where the process was awful. The process shows no signs of improving however as this looked like more of the same.

Playing like a wildcard team that has found its way to the top somehow.

Top line was better than last game and the 3rd line played well. Those are the only positives for me.

Feels like 2 very empty points, but I guess 2 points nonetheless.

Second of a back to back. On the road against a good and well rested team.

I mean, seriously? I’m all about the process, but context matters as well. Aside from a piss poor first period this was a solid W. Cheer up, man. ;)

Read the Ehlers thread from October talking about trading him because he was garbage and regressing.

Tell me they aren't deserving of mocking quotes months later.

Going to be the same thing with the potato takes on Laine.
Ugh, that was an awful period! Trading Ehlers :eek:

Hellebuyck had some absolute robberies tonight.

Schiefele looks like he hasn't got his sights set yet.

Well all were less then 25% CF (worst on the team) so they really didn't accomplish that tonight. They didn't let themselves be bullied though and perhaps for that was important on a night when the refs seemed to put their whistles away and Boston was trying to at physical.

Season is a journey my friend

Ups and downs will be had. Better nights and less better nights too

There have been very convincing stretches by this team as well, and don't forget we are playing without two of our biggest players, and a snake bitten sniping phenom

I am not being on a reactionary roller coaster, in the month of January, Jets have broken 50% Corsi and 50% xGoals just 3 times in 11 games.

Last year, in the same month the Jets broke 50% Corsi and xGoals 7 out 11 games and that was playing without Scheifele and Lowry.

I think my concern is justified and not "living on the ledge".

Laine has seasons of 60 and 70 points so while he hasn't played well he has earned far more leeway.
Give Roslo a chance to play with other top 6 guys like Connor Ehlers chef and I think he is way better. We have seen Roslo only with Laine who only Chef could get scoring. Also how many of those 60-70 puts come off pp.
