Post-Game Talk: Sabres 5 - Jets 3

[Section 325]

Jets really trying to make April 10th the most important game of their season. .

Logan Thompson has been goalie-ing teams all year. Hope everyone shows up.

I'm not really that concerned about that game because the Jets tend to show up against good teams.

 

[White Out 902]

if you were grading on a curve then why don't you grade him against you know... buffalo's backup? how do you think he did now?

Buffalos backup was taking shots on Comrie and scored? Crazy

no, he was the one making the saves comrie wasn't... crazy right?

 

[snowkiddin]

Anyone got the Jets record on Sundays this year?

6-3, but we started off 4-0, and then 5-1, so a bit of a rough patch lately

 

[Thechozen1]

Team is primed for getting booted out of round 1 yet again.

 

[Do or Die]

Lacking a real vibe, today.....

Lacking finish, lacking details on D, lacking timely saves......

 

[gojetsgo]

this was such a hard night for comrie.... it's a miracle that he only allowed 4 goals with all those dangerous attempts...

 

[Hank Chinaski]

I don't think the team completely collapsed in front of him (if you're referring to the game as a whole). They weren't as good as they can be, but they weren't dogshit either

As for the goals that got past Comrie... I'd put them in the "could have stopped them" category but definitely not the "should have stopped them" category. The loss isn't on him, that's for sure

This. First and second goals definitely “stoppable”. Third and fourth were bad breakdowns in front of him.

Difference was ultimately Reimer who turns into the second coming of Patrick Roy vs the Jets.

My only concern is that when things go bad, which they rarely have this year, the coaches only "answer" is more 81-55-13. More, more more. Even when they play bad they can't help themselves. Why not break them up for a period or even a few shifts? Why not get Villardi off that line for a bit? He has been not good for quite some time now. Why let them stay for a 1:35 of every pp? Why let them average more than a minute a shift? Why not hold them even a little accountable?

Or just give them all the night off and let them rest.
It should be rotating rests for all of them for the rest of the regular season.
Let some round guys in who want to prove themselves and need the experience.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

I feared this would happen. Remember the b2b vs the caps that crushed their spirits a few years back. Don't look now but they got the Caps next.
I do not know if I can take another collapse but the expected collapse percentage is growing.

I was going to bring this up, and it was more than a decade ago. I remember this like it was yesterday - what a shitty reminder. Here's hoping we play a bit better on Tuesday.

scheifele: 0:48
connor: 0:42
vilardi: 0:40

and going back there past 10 games they have like 3 games closer to 1 minute and 7 games closer to 50 seconds, so idk why you keep posting about there shift length being close to a minutes, like some games they are going to get longer shifts because they are down and need offense

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Not gonna crash out after getting goalied but we need to stay in 1st. We lose 1st and we're headed straight towards 1st round exit.

 

[tbcwpg]

Barely made it to the basement in time so as to not get crushed by the falling sky.

 

[ecolad]

Not going to comment directly on the loss - except to say the boys really appeared over-confident and lacadaisical until such time as their general pickup in play later in the 3rd after falling behind twice by 2 goals. A somewhat pedestrian effort overall, I thought.

But boy, is there a player going through a cold spell more than Lowry for the last little while? He appears to be" working hard" but not effectively. He appears to make bad reads and decisions positionally, and just plain struggles to generate any scoring chances for himself or his linemates. His willingness to maintain a high level of physicality (critical to his game) appears to have receeded . The Jets really need him to pick up his play if the third line is to regain their stature as a dominant line in the league.

 

[White Out 902]

Yeah I definitely think our backup could have played better. I also think that our team should haven't surrendered so many high quality chances.

Let’s hope he can grow a second set of arms, Zoology dept in Ft Garry used to do limb regeneration on western spotted salamanders when I was there. Can’t remember the herpetolgist’s name.
I may have CRS syndrome..what does that stand for again?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

The b2b against the Southeast division rivals Caps? That "few years back?"

If you can't take another collapse, but you fully expect one, you really shouldn't be following the team. I highly recommend stepping out for a while.

I almost had to do a double take on that.

I know my sense of time has been warped, but the days of Kyle Wellwood and Olli Jokinen were more than just “a few years back” lol

 

[Heldig]

Starting to worry a little bit.

Stringing too many poor performances together.

 

[Jets 31]

Comrie is a backup goalie so I'm not going to get that upset wih his play today but Reimer was alot better and that was the difference in this game no doubt about it. Really nice goal from Miller, would like to see him carry the puck more often. What does Appleton bring to this team exactly ? Guy is in all alone early in the game and waits until he is behind the net basically before he shoots the puck. Then took a stupid interference penalty later on in the game. Gotta try Tanev up there with Lowry next game and sit Appleton and dress Kupari .

For some comparison and context Ehlers against Edmonton played 8 mins less than Scheif and KFC but only played 3 less shifts and they are all on the same PP.

against Edmonton played 15:45 on 19 shifts

against Buffalo played 18:58 on 19 shifts
