Post-Game Talk: Post game Leaf/Jets

[Hunter368]

What was wrong with Stanley?

Slow slow slow

Every great athlete eventually has to bow to Father Time. He always wins no matter what.

When it comes to Wheeler, it looks like Father Time grabbed Wheeler and kicked him in the nards .

We all knew this would happen (well some of us), so why did Chevy have to give him that stupid contract? Now we're stuck with Wheeler another 4 years.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I wouldn't say emotionally withdrawn, they made a lot of mental mistakes.

Looked like a team who hasn't played much hockey lately. Looks like a team missing their best player. Looked like a team who hasn't been doing much practicing.

 

[Teemusalami204]

Tavares has Matthews to take the other time, Winnipeg has ???

We aquired a big shiny 2c

 

[surixon]

Easily be 1 and 4 with efforts like tonight's tho. Ottawa works hard.. something Jets don't do consistently

Jets worked hard they just played stupid hockey which always makes teams look like they don't care

 

[tbcwpg]

Toronto wasn't bad tonight. If not for Hellebuyck it could've been 4 after the 2nd.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Leaf's were not all that impressive tonight considering all that firepower, they will play well in the regular season and be gone in the first round

If they weren’t all that impressive, what were we? They were a much better team than us tonight.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Slow slow slow

Was he? He won most of his puck battles and looked more NHL ready than Niku.

 

[KB1971]

To be honest, I don't see a lot different from last season. Jets never play 60 minutes. Almost no physical play. The coach just keeps doing the same thing by overplaying 55 and 26.

 

[GaryPoppins]

My takes:

- This team continues to come out flat. This was a consistent theme last year and is continuing

- Does anyone know where the hell they’re supposed to be or who they’re supposed to cover? Our D zone looms like unmitigated chaos.

- Helle looked good and bailed us out as per usual.

- Two games in a row that Wheeler has looked slow and frankly invisible. Nothing wrong with a 3rd line PP specialist.

- Seemed like they couldn’t string tight passes

- Stanley only made me say “Oh Shit” once or twice so that’s far better than expected. I think he could slot in on the bottom pairing with a bit more experience.

- Oh, and fire Maurice plz.

 

[Hunter368]

They also had two additional games to work out a lot of their kinks. We still look to be finding our way which isn't surprising given it was game two for us.

Yup, the fact we even hung in this game I’m surprised, I was expecting much worse result without Laine, DeMelo, Jack and on the road and only our 2nd game.

 

[rkp]

Here’s a fair and measured response to the game.

If i’m PoMo, I’m drawing up bag skate drills for next practice. I dont care how many games they have coming up.

That looked like an emotionally withdrawn team with conditioning issues to me.

this is the last thing wheeler needs at his age

 

[Gabe Kupari]

If they weren’t all that impressive, what were we? They were a much better team than us tonight.

They were playing their 4th game with a healthy roster. Our 2nd missing our top RHd man and goal scorer. I'd hope the leafs would look better.

It’s almost the exact same team. It’s going to be exactly the same as last year.

We aquired a big shiny 2c

Stastny isn't Tavares (who is Toronto's 2nd line C). If you want to compare 1st line C to first line C, then Matthews was at 22:47.

Our 2nd line C played almost 20 minutes, more than Toronto's.

Everyone looks moreNHL ready then Niku

Lol yes. Without Roslovic.. Jesus Christ... Putting Roslo who is done as a Jet in the same group as Demelo and Laine Is interesting.

It all adds up regardless

 

[abax44]

Taveres 17 min

sheif 26 min.

I just don’t understand

At least compare his ice time to Matthews.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Bogosian would be top 4 D on the Jets

 

[John Agar]

I'm out in Alberta...

I choose to put in the extra effort to see and work with My clients...

I hedged on catching the game late...

Seems I showed up to play and hedging on the Jets was the right choice...

I missed almost the whole game...

Is it fair to say the Jets by and large didn't show up to play... ?

 

[brendan smith]

I wouldn't say emotionally withdrawn, they made a lot of mental mistakes.

I agree. Its a combination of things. Maybe emotionally withdrawn is the wrong term, but Imo emotion was a factor. Particularly Scheif and Wheels (guys that typically generate energy by playing with their heart on their sleeve).

I didnt see much emotion until 15 seconds left in the game.

I’m beginning to miss character guys that can get the team fired up (like Buff, Tanev, etc..)

True my bad

Correct. Jets decided to play one period tonight. The rest of the game they were floating around, just going through the motions.
