Post-Game Talk: Preds 2 - Jets 1

[Royale With Cheese]

Yup a couple ot wins, a shootout win and a stagnant powerplay. This team is good but not a lock for anything once the playoffs start.
Yours truly

Is any team a lock for anything once the playoffs start?

Glad you’re here to make sure people don’t have too much fun during the best Jets season of all time.

Always pleasant to have people around who really hate the idea of people having fun.

I think some teams like Florida and Edmonton have shown they can win in the playoffs but no team is a lock because it is a combination of things like luck, staying healthy and great goaltending that allows teams to survive the playoffs.
My main issue with the Jets is Conner, Ehlers and Perfetti are not necessarily built for the playoffs and the defence is on the small size. NSV is not a great team but used the forecheck to throw the Jets off their game. It has been a tremendous regular season too bad it is not like English premiership soccer where the top regular season team is the champ.

 

[White Out 902]

Apologies to @White Out 902

Yeah, that was a damn good save

I can't thank posts because of some capricious moderation in the nations thread, so thanks.

Also, I think I dislocated my hip just watching that replay

 

[Eyeseeing]

Thanks Ron maclean

I hate when a missed call goes unpunished and i don’t think theatrics were involved here

If Connor was hit like this, you and I would be screaming from the rooftops

Let just agree to disagree here

I don't agree but I still like ya !
Ron Maclean that hurt tho

 

[Eyeseeing]

Old friend, we will disagree. Eels was crosschecked in the throat. If Fly played for either

- New York Ringworms
- Vegas Gut-shot Idiots
- LA dropkicked Serfs

That would have been a charging call, in my humble opinion.

Poet , I was sober honest

Eels was fine in the 3rd , no one takes a blunt force throat hit and is fine 15 minutes later while taxing their cardiovascular with a restricted airway due said blunt force.
A poll was done a while back on the mains , & Ehlers was identified by many other fans as a diver , sorry I agree with that assessment.

All good , I'm happy he's on our team

Best season of all time so far!

While I agree the schedule affects wins/losses... granted its a long flight but a back-to-back after two weeks off and a game against Senators AHL team is not much of an excuse.

The Jets just didn't move on their powerplay - that's the game right there...

We weren't goalied because Comrie kept us in it when the Jets only had what 10 shots for first half of the game?

Just see some of the old bad habits coming back... long shifts, slow changes, chasing the perfect pass, not moving their feet... the Jets can still force a win based on talent alone but they need to make some adjustments...

Jets are still a very good team but all the games since the break seem a lot more like the team Garret described than the one we have been watching on this win streak...

Connor has scored in the PO's in previous years. Id hope his improvement in engagement and 2 way play for the majority of the year transfers into the PO's.
Ehlers I agree he needs to carry the second line offensively and show out in a big way, if he's still paired with Names and Perfetti. Perfetti is still a question mark of course as he was scratched last year.

 

[gojetsgo]

jets had far more then 10 shots half way thru the game, who ever was tracking that 1st period did a terrible job lol...

Its going to to get rough and tough in the playoffs .
Look how many injuries happened at 4 Nations after a few games
Im expecting Chevy to get depth for our for top 6 forwards and extra D depth
I think we have enough players for bottom 6 forward roles

 

[Moloch]

Couldve capitalized on the PP if it werent for saros being a brick wall.
Still, it could use some work, and yeah they need to get back to that dynamic cycle game they were playing on the PP prior to the break.

Are they practicing today? maybe theyll focus on that in particular, Payne looked hella frustrated on the bench lol.

1st line has gone pretty cold. Ehlers had to get the first line going again by moving. Come on little spark plug drive that pp.

Florida yes, Edmonton has had one good playoff run in all of the years with McJesus so going by your theory that's the same as the Jets.

 

[Romang67]

I mean, they also predict the Leafs will do well in the playoffs, so the prediction is plainly not based on previous playoff performance. It's just tired pessimism for the sake of tired pessimism.

Ohhh Toronto is always a lock for a great playoff run.....

I understand how you feel to a degree.
We’ve seen this before and we have been reverse swept twice for sure.
I am hoping that this team has learned from those losses and that we can win in the playoffs.
It’s natural to be leery about the playoffs but like @ps241 says just enjoy the moment now and see what happens.

There are way more things to worry about in life than the Jets losing in the playoffs . It's entertainment ultimately and that's how i try to look at it. But they better win the Stanley Cup damnit....

 

[Crocket]

When teams play heavy a forecheck, and finish every check, takeaway the neutral zone, we don't respond well.

Chevy must be working on something. Big top RD. Playoff top 6 forward with grit

I kept watching for it to change and most of the time it didn't.
