Post-Game Talk: Post game Leaf/Jets

[Gabe Kupari]

Bogosian would be top 4 D on the Jets

Only cuz he's a vet. Skill wise he's not.

 

[Romang67]

Everyone looks moreNHL ready then Niku

I don't! I gained that COVID 19 when I was back in Sweden over Christmas.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

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

Well the thing is Scheif played 26 minutes and Stastny played 19 minutes. 45 minutes for top2 centres is ridiculous. Bad allocation of minutes by Maurice, but we I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Frustrated by his 80s-style deployment? YES. Surprised? NO.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

The problem is it's game 2 and scheif is being seriously overplayed.

 

[Guardian17]

It's taking forever for the Jets post game comments.

I wonder if they're having a meeting?

 

[JetsFan815]

Niku losing a physical battle to soft as melted butter Nylander in the neutral zone is concerning. D corps looked like the D corpse tonight. Get Samberg and Heinola in for Niku and Beaulieu.

 

[Channelcat]

If this effort tonight represents a continuation of what we were seeing for long stretches last season, it’s absolutely time for a new coach. It’s probably overdue.

It's been time for a new coach for a long, long time. These guys aren't playing for Maurice.

 

[wabagee]

Thank god we have Hellebuyck and Laine, Please double shift Laine on the power play.

They've already aired them on TSN, probably a social media delay because it's an away game and the personnel are all home.

I think it was just Hellebuyck and Connor but I might've forgotten a third.

I did not see much of this game...

But the minutes I see for Chef make no sense...

We supposedly have 3 solid lines... why would a coach not balance them out more... ?

I see posters saying the team looked disconnected...

Could it be possible if one is waiting for ice time, some flow... some personnel are disappointed... ?

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Slow slow slow

I was pleasantly surprised by Stanley in that I have low expectations. With that said I knew he was a slow player and I don't see that improving much given he has already had 4+years to work on his skating.

I remember going to an AHL game last year and he was barely hanging on versus much easier (and slower) competition. Barely hanging on in the sense that when opposition was skating into the zone with the puck it looked like they would skate around him at any moment and have a good scoring chance on the goalie all alone. His backwards skating left a lot to be desired.

With you on that one, but comparing Scheifele to their 2C, even Tavares, isn't like for like.

Idk. Maybe he's just lazy.

 

[sipowicz]

And 4 more years on Wheelers contract

wow, contract looks horrible already

 

[bustamente]

It's a song that has been playing for a while now but we need a second line centre, Stastny at this point in his career is not that. It's going to be another up and down season

 

[Trinity]

My analysis is that there are two people dragging this team down: Paul Maurice and Blake Wheeler.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I'll be positive and say 2 games vs 4 is a big difference right now but For the last 2 seasons now..this has been a semi consistent theme.

 

[sipowicz]

Only cuz he's a vet. Skill wise he's not.

yeah but he would still be a top 4 D man on the Jets!

 

[Channelcat]

He's slow......but I think he can still be decent #2. I'm more concerned with our "number one"

 

[Teemusalami204]

This team used to be able to win any way we needed too. Could play any type of game we wanted.

now this team can only win by out finessing. We are a one dimensional team.

 

[JetsFan815]

We don't have a "number 1".

 

[Scheifele55]

The Spotless Mind,

For an NHL debut, I think Logan Stanley was pretty good.

Quick thoughts...

27-55-26 Line didn't stay together for very long. They were awful through most of the first period and a bit. Ehlers was especially bad. His worst game in the past couple of seasons, from my recollection. Scheifele was bad defensively, but a driver of offense as the game wore on. Better game by Wheeler than game 1. At least he was controlling board play and was adequate at zone exits. Copp added a bit to this line, but they really didn't have much at 5v5.

81-25-85 Not a great game from Connor, though he showed some zip later in the game. Stastny was constantly covering up for them in his own zone, but needs doped and play drivers to be effective in the offensive zone. Perreault has lost a step or two. Not really that effective tonight.

9-17-22 Decent game, but nothing special. The Jets lost 4-5 straight faceoffs on the PP before Tavares' goal, and Lowry lost 2-3 of them. Normally face offs don't get me worked up, but tonight the Jets lost almost every one on special teams and it led to way too much D zone time on the PK, and too little O zone time on the PP.

12-11-23 It's just a placeholder line, and I guess they did that. I wish they could be a bit more bold and think about how to add more to their 4th line.

44-8 I'm officially worried about Morrissey. I remember when he would neutralize the best forwards. Now he's just a guy on D. We really need to see him with a better partner. Hard to see how Niku stays in the lineup for much longer. He was the second best Moose D tonight, and just doesn't seem to keep focused.

24-4 So, Forbort is looking like a very good pick-up. He's been the best D over the first couple of games. Solid defensively and very reliable with the puck. This has been a good pair. Pionk is playing a good game alongside Forbort's steadiness.

64-88 Nice debut for Stanley. Didn't get caught out of position much, mostly clean with the puck. Beaulieu had another one of those shifts where he inexplicably gives the puck away and causes a minute of chaos. He shares bottom spot among Jets' D tonight with Niku. Time to see what Samberg and Heinola can do.

Hellebuyck was really solid. Deserved a win for that performance.

 

[29from27and55]

Can we not play Stanley or Niku again?

honestly i didnt mind stanley in his sheltered role even though 88 tried his best to ruin his debut. hes still a year or 2 away from being a regular though imo "if he gets there"

we need to find a trade for a legit 1rd

 

[bustamente]

Wheelers days on the 2 top lines are fading away unfortunately we don't have anyone to replace him atm, Perfetti might be someday but after him nobody, tonight Laine is not playing and is replaced by Perreault and later Copp 2 guys who should be nowhere near the top 2 lines.
