I'm curious as to how a team with so much offensive talent up front looks so flat in the offensive zone.
JETs need a big move. Trade an Ehlers Conner or Laine. This group isn't working. Moving Perrault or Roslovic ain't getting you shit
Ok so honestly that wasn’t that horrible of a game. I think we have to lower our standards of what constitutes a good game for this group. They were in it the whole time and lost on a horrid giveaway. I thought they created a reasonable number of scoring chances. Especially compared to what we’re used to creating over the last stretch.
Also, I still don’t think he’s particularly good but Bitetto is clearly the best of the trio of him, Sbisa and Beaulieu. At least one tier above the other two.
And Nashville has a spark since firing their coach. Hynes isn’t any good but the new coach spark is often enough for a boost.

Or just fire the coach. Seems to give every other team a spark

If we are a wild card team by the end of the season I will be stunned.
The Jets and their coach should be embarrassed after this game.
Hellebuyck did everything he could to give this team a win.

Take away that awful first period and I thought the team played pretty well in the second and third.
Helle was a rock
Niku got a lot of minutes tonight and while he was still pretty rough around the edges he at least was trying to make things happen with the puck. Was more confident carrying it, moving it and jumping up in the play. He needs to build off of this.
JoMo outside a few miscues with the puck in his own end played another really strong game and crushed all his underlying metrics. Needs to keep building off his last few games.
Pionk had another solid game and and JoMo look like they could make a real nice pair. Need to figure out the second and third pairs.
Kuli was solid and Bietto was Bietto.
Top line had their chances but couldn't cash. Needed to get to the front of the ent a bit more.
The second line was off again. Wheeler isn't able to get much generated and Roslovic just seems to carry the puck way too long and as a result kills plays. I would be ok moving on from him if we could get a solid second pairing dmen for him.
Third line outside of Lowry's awful turnover for the one goal this game played a strong grinding game. They need to turn some of that possesion into more shots and chances.
Shore and Appelton had solid work man like games. Get Bourque off the ice as he didn't accomplish much of anything.

Waiting for Buff is not an option at this point.
Move Roslovic or Perreault for a defenseman now.

Tough to lose a 1 goal game even tougher when you get shut out, all this is eventually leading to this team not making the playoff, games like today has to be 2 pt's in our column not their's if you want to be in the post season
Yeah I think the fact that Niku actually played his game and wasn’t tentative is a massive step forward. The Niku argument isn’t going to be concluded after two or three games, but I see his performance as being far more positive than negative.

They need a shake up. I see other teams try to fix problems, Jets just say, be patient. Somehow I don't think the Leafs would have left the Byfuglien situation just in Limbo. I am sure they would have found a way to utilize that Cap space. It makes me wonder if the Jets ownership is simply trying to save money. Even the Ottawa Senators are spending more than us on their team.

Our defense can not move the puck and we rely on our forwards to push the play all the time.
We are forced to dump and chase as a result.
It is time to bring in a defenseman to help out the back end.
So then let's re-tool and make another run in a year or two. We need a few pieces but have a solid core here.
I for one wish the Jets would open things up and play more high event hockey. We have the firepower to win high scoring games. Futher, at least this would be entertaining for the fans, win or lose. I'm tired of Maurice and his love affair for grinder style hockey. It's too boring and I dont think our skill players are suited to it.

Niku has the skill to play a role on this team - it's going to come down to how well he can play in his own end - he doesn't need to be lights out but he needs to be better. Offense will not be an issue with this player.
Forwards' puck management is just gross. Keep blaming the D but if the forwards are lazy with the puck and don't outscore their mistakes we don't stand a chance

Leaving the Buff situation hanging over our heads is on Chevy at this point.
I agree. But he moves the puck better than any other defenceman on this team already. Including Morrissey and Pionk. He deserves a chance to show what he has. Especially since this team is very clearly going nowhere.
