Post-Game Talk: Sabres 5 - Jets 3

[sipowicz]

Totally agree, and I would love to see Tanev on the 3rd line, and Appleton down to the 4th line, and I think I’d play Kupari over AHL Appleton, on the 4th line.Then I’d trade Apples, or just let him go. We have better.

AHL Apples has got have something on Chevy and/or Arneil, no explanation for a 4th line tweener to be playing on the 3rd line! Guy has zero skills

What exactly is boarding?
I always thought it was hitting someone from 5 feet away into the boards. Yesterday Vegas in the game Hertl got pushed into the boards and fell awkwardly into the boards and the announcers were wanting a major. and the refs reviewed it and gave a minor penalty. Nino 's hit was a lot worst and I wouldn't be surprised if he is out next game.
Speaking of Nino twice this year he got a penalty for knocked off a player's helmet in a board battle and the opposing player got nothing. I didn't even know that was a penalty but twice in the last 2 weeks I saw it happened again but in both instances the refs gave both players a penalty. I starting to wonder if the refs have something against Nino.

Watched the game... yes the jets were the better team but only because buffalo is awful

Top line is not digging and playing soft

Team lives and dies with scheif... someone has to wake him up

Defence was catastrophic - really drifted away from our system - saw almost zero secondary support

Short handed goal was embarassing

Sure we can say we got goalied or that comrie wasnt good - but good teams destroy bad teams especially when we are rested and they are on a back to back afternoon playing their 37 year old backup

Since four nations all the bad habits are back... and we are playing entitled - not a recipe for playoff success

If only appleton was the main problem with this team haha

good teams lose to bad teams all the time, we dominated but got goalied plain and simple but I guess that = entitlement? biggest game of the season just dominated dallas but I guess peoples memories are just too short

Also since that lost against the Jets ... Dallas has not won a game in regulation time. DeBoer even called out the team also Rantanen the biggest TDL splash only has 4 goals (one an empty net goal) in 20 games including the Canes.
The good news is SN gave the top story at 11 to the Jets and I also noticed on Saturday the Leafs losing to the Preds was not the top story.
Can it be true SN cares more about the Jets than the Leafs?

Look at it however you like... but you have to have some real rose coloured glasses to think the top line is still playing the same way they did before four nations

Dallas was a solid game where arniel rolled all four lines and no one is saying that the jets cant win on pure talent - but right now we look like last years team... top line is not playing a 200 foot game and we need it from them

I noticed you really got it in for Scheifele ... every lost you bring him up.
Scheifele had chances and If he buries them its a different story ... its a game of inches sometimes they go in and sometimes they miss and sometimes the goalie or defenceman make the save.

I dont have it in for anyone... ive given scheif huge props all season - i just want beast mode scheif back - hes not the same player since 4 nations... its not like he cant turn it on the next game - weve seen him do it... he just has to do it

This homestand for the Jets is when Dallas makes up the difference in games played, Jets have 3 more to go, in the next 9 days Dallas plays Minnesota at home, then goes to Edmonton, Calgary, and Seattle for two in a row.

I think by the end of the homestand we'll know where the teams stand. If Dallas closes the gap to within 4 with those games in hand I am not optimistic about the Jets holding down #1 in the West through April.

It's in their hands, but the team is not firing on all cylinders.

I'd say after all the praises Samberg has been getting, especially after the Seattle game it has become more noticeable to me how much the pace of the Jets picks up with Pionk on the right side, using his wheels and passes to move through the neutral zone.

Does Arniel stick with Stanley against Caps? Are Stanley-Miller superior to Fleury-Miller? 5 on 5 likely yes, but Stan on the PK is an adventure.

As of today:

If the Jets go .500 / 5-5-1 in their last 11, Dallas has to go .731 / 9-3-1 to tie. If both teams get all their wins in regulation, then Dallas would win the division on RW.

The Jets division winning magic number in points is 19.

Guys sometimes you lose games you should win. Like Jeff Marek says, "hockey" could easily be called "goalie".

 

[Jets 31]

I would not be upset if we had won

Maybe, but if we got outplayed like Buffalo and won the game there would be more than a few posts on here saying don't care that we won, we played horrible and should be embarrassed that we won playing like that.

I mean the buffalo bench reminded me of rec hockey... like theyre just out for fun and a few beers after the game

All of this is true. And, it occurs on every single HF Boards team's site. (WIth the possible exception of Dallas, whose board is completely moribund).

Is it logical? no

Is it predictable?

Oh hell yas.

 

[Crocket]

We out shot, chanced and outplayed them but Reimer played great. A couple turnovers really killed us. We didn't play all that poorly and the 1st line is getting chances.

Nino and Scheifele are banged up. Can't afford to go into the playoffs with too many injuries. I like Kupari in the lineup, him and Tanev would be great.

How we play against Washington will be telling

What did Ehlers and Lowry do to piss off Arniel so much.

 

[Weezeric]

I like those middle six lines quite a bit

Dallas has 1 regulation win in 9 games.

Hope vilardis back isnt acting up... wpuld explain his lack of burst

 

[gojetsgo]

went down in pain after the ref let go of the slewfoot right before the empty net goal

 

[MardyBum]

Not sure about top line Iafallo, but better than top line Appleton. 4th line was cooking too. (As much as a line that doesn't play a ton can)

I would have reunited ehlers lowry iafallo and bumped perfetti to line 1

That sucks, hope he's back before the playoffs
