Post-Game Talk: Sen-d them home - Jets 2, Senators 5

[Whileee]

Chiarot, Morrow and Myers are a far, FAR bigger problem than Little, who has had a fairly nice year all things considered.

Myers has also had a very nice season thus far.

0-2 to start 10 of next 15 on road and based on the way they have played this season good chance they will be closer to wild card then 1st when the 15 games are done.

Lol, this post sums up the insecurity of this board. Get off the ledge.

I don't understand why people keep bringing up Scheifele's deal and comparing him to our other young players....Scheifele's first three years: 34 points, 49 points and 61 points. Laine's: 64 points and 70 points and has 36 so far this year. He is also going to have three straight years of over 30 goals.
Laine's performance before his second contract kicks the crap out of Scheifele's. Laine also did it at younger age. ... Mark wasn't signed to an elite player deal as he had only showed about half a season of elite play. Laine has shown about 2 and a quarter year of it. He will and deserves to get more as his resume is pretty darn amazing for his age. There are very few who have accomplished as much as he has at this stage of their careers.

Here's the difference: Scheifele showed a consistent improvement over his ELC and in his last half-season of ELC was scoring at >1 PPG pace.

If I were a Pediatrician looking at 2 baby brothers, Scheifele and Laine, I'd be a bit worried that 10 lb baby Laine, who was walking at 8 months, was falling off the developmental chart as a toddler.

Whereas older brother Scheifele, who couldn't walk without falling till 16 months, was literally leapfrogging his peers at age 3.

Another issue is the expansion draft in 2020. With Wheeler’s NTC he would be protected and someone like Connor, Ehlers or Lowry will be exposed. Is it worth it to lose a young player for an aging player with deteriorating skills ?

Not saying Wheeler is a must-keep, but Lowry will be a past-his-prime wreck by then. Let Seattle have him.

Is Lowry ever going to have a prime? Totally overrated!

It was last year until he got hurt.

You know what would be cool?
If the Jet players could come to the Jet HF and trade these fake Jet fans to the other teams HF.

I am one of the most avid Schiefele's supporters when fans are turning on him, but broke into NHL at D+4 and he only took off at D+6 (Littles injury). It took Schiefele that chance to be the prominent player that he is now.

Which week of last season was his prime? 7 goals in 57 games this season as a 3rd line C isn't good

 

[jetsforever]

Skipped this game, sounds like that was a good move
At least this might remind people that Brossoit isn't in fact the next Hasek

Hopefully we can beat Buffalo!

 

[Maukkis]

By the way, why is Perreault playing with the least skill possible?

You literally have a guy who can generate all the chances in the world, and you shackle him to an offensively inept RW and Lowry, who is putting up 1.0 5v5 points per 60 minutes this year. When has that ever made sense?

 

[Jets 31]

Man , i hope these lost points don't come back to bite us in the ass . Better effort out of some of the players compared to the Habs game , Brossoit didn't have it yesterday but that had to happen eventually . Put Laine back on PP 1 , sit either Charoit or Morrow and play Niku . I'm not even gonna say break Scheif and Wheeler up anymore because it's obviously not gonna happen .

 

[Jets 31]

Don Cherry picked the Jets to win the Cup this season , why are we worried about the Jets , we're all good . Oh and he said someone just has to slap Laine in the head and he'll be all better .

At that point Lowry has one season left on his reasonable contract headed towards UFA. We have to lose someone and he wouldn’t be the worst case scenario.

 

[BigZ65]

Would anybody do Tkachuk for Laine right now?

Or Dubois?

 

[ps241]

Hmmmm, I'm pretty sure the Jets weren't in first place when they fired Noel.

I think we have the most angst-ridden fanbase in the NHL. Maybe the long NHL absence has put us on edge.

Yea I get it......losing sucks........BUT

We are finishing in either first or second in our division and everyone knows it. We will finish off this remaining two month exhibition season and then things start for real. I have know idea how that will pan out but no matter how much I want it to, what’s happening right now in the season will have no relavence to the playoffs. Maybe we will just keep being a crappy 5 v 5 team and still win it all......maybe our 5 v 5 game will heat up but we will get PDO’d and bounced in the first round? It’s the NHL and it’s annoyingly luck/hot hand based in a short 7 game series.

In past seasons I lived and died by each regular season game when the central was a meat grinder and we were good at possession but bad at winning hockey. Now the central sucks and I just can’t muster up any angst about these games when I wake up the next morning. I am not blind to the underlying numbers but we have the talent to beat anyone in the playoffs.

Hopefully the third perios shuffle of 85 to 18's line carries over to today.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

The team, other than goaltending, was better than the Habs game. Not great but better. Having said that, the Sens are not a good team the way the Habs are.

We knew Brossoit would put up a stinker eventually. That was never the important question. The important question is how will Brossoit be in his start after his stinker.

 

[Jets 31]

The thing that i want the Jets to do the most right now is get someone in front of the net , goalie can't stop what he can't see . Lemieux does that late in the game and low and behold we score . Lowry with his size should make a living in front of the goalie like Ladd used to , seems like no one wants to do this anymore .

Let's move on from this train-wreck: GDT: - Jets @ Sabres • Sun Feb 10th, 2PM • Keybank Centre • TSN3
