Post-Game Talk: Slip sliding away Jets lose 1-0

[Deedog99]

Well... yeah. But that would be the right move either way.

Being a seller at the deadline gets you more value for your players than at any other time.

I like the idea of being a seller, I’m not just sure there’s a ton of trade value in the guys that are obvious trade candidates outside of say, Roslovic.

Helle wasted a good game. Jets started like they had taken sleeping pills for breakfast. How does a whole team go like that at the same time?

They got a little better after the first period but I don't think they ever really looked dangerous, except in their own end. What a turd of a game.

It was the type of game that you hoped that you could sneak a win from but it was not to be.
I feel sorry for people who actually paid money for those seats.

Buff could be in play depending on if wants to play again and comes back healthy .................does he want to continue here if not get what you can

That is the obvious problem. To get a return that makes the better they likely have to trade 1 of the 3 young wingers. Little, Wheeler are untradeable. Cant trade Scheifele cause no other C's. Roslovic, Perrault, Lowry are not going to get a big return.

Speaking of Lowry, I miss the big mean fast team from a couple seasons ago that scared other teams. Where did that team go? Seems the Jets now rather dump and turn than paste the opposition into the boards. Does Buff missing make the entire team soft/timid?

 

[None]

Complacency.

Management? Coaching? Players?

All of the above to a certain degree?

Personally I think it's a little bit of the latter, it's just how much can really be attributed to any one thing is the debatable part.
Not sure I'd include Hellebuyck in with the skaters, I feel like he's been hung out to dry by all of the above at times and then from the fanbase as well. I also think he holds himself accountable above and beyond anything he ever gives to the media.

I’d like Buff to play next season if he’s willing and able.
Not sure at this time if it’s worth him coming back this year.

Not really the type of player that teams that are buying are looking for either. More the type of player they are trading for a more experienced vet.
Does Chevy trade Brossoit at the TD?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Complacency.

Yeah, 4-4-2 in their last 10 going into today's game. They have every right to be complacent.

 

[Jets 31]

Well considering it's only January 12 and we are right on the playoff line i'm not ready to pack it up yet . Jets were not skating in the first period but got better as the game went on . Helly played great and i thought our defense played pretty good after we went down to 5 defenseman . We have alot of forwards not scoring , Copp scores on his brake-away and it might have been a different game . Roslovic is skating but accomplishing nothing , Frenchie is doing nothing , Lowry hasn't scored since 1985 , we need the odd goal from these guys .

 

[Larabee]

How about some ideas to reload this team for next year. Teams do it all the time. Take the down year. A good pick and make some moves in the offseason.

Ya that’s what I’m thinking. That’s why I’m happy to be in the tank thread. We have an elite offence that just needs some defensive support and a coach that can exploit it.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

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.

You are very generous. I'm not sure Saros will even need to take a shower after that game. Most Jets shots came from the blueline.

Also, I still don’t think he’s particularly good but Sbisa is clearly the best of the trio of him, Bitetto and Beaulieu. At least one tier above the other two.

At least we can agree that Beaulieu is the worst of the 3.

I didn't see a lot of spark from Nashville. They played just as hard as they had to, which wasn't very hard. I don't think they have been any better since the coaching change than they were before. But they are now only 3 pts back of us with 2 games in hand.

What can we get for a waiver wire player ? A bag of pucks ?

 

[Jets 31]

The Jets play in the first period .

I think the overarching point of what I was trying to convey is that we need to lower our expectations for this team. I’m guilty of hand wringing over poor performances but I feel like at this point, accepting that this is a bad team and enjoying small victories is the healthiest option.

I’m of the opinion they’re not scoring because they’re playing too much defence. But I agree on your assessments of Roslovic, Frenchie and Lowry. Roslovic is reminding me more and more of Burmistrov. Frenchie is at the end of his career. Can anyone have less offensive ability than Lowry ?

 

[ATLbound]

We could really use Little just to shake up
These dull, stale lines. Roslo really needs to move down. Until then I feel the top 9 is staying the exact same until there is an injury... and Little is not even really skating with the team so who knows if he is even back this season. Or before its too late anyways

 

[Heldig]

The Jets have become a 2 line team with poor defense. Trouble is the top 6 forwards are inconsistent in the effort AND in their own end. Bottom 2 lines are black holes on offense.

 

[Neuf]

"Easiest shutout ever"
- Saros, probably

Didn't get tested

 

[ulf]

This team should sell just don't tell the players your throwing in the towel just yet.
Laine is worth every penny....this year
Not sure what Lowry brings is compensation enough for his lack of production.
Some other coach might get some enthusiasm or motivation back into the players but PoMo is not the problem.
Wow why haven't we won the SC ....if it was easy someone in Canada would have done it in the last 30 YEARS

I think there would be considerable interest in Wheeler and he would wave any NMC. Would have to take some $ back though

I agree.
Give Little one winger from each of the 1st two lines and go from there.
Scheif Wheeler Little Lowry down the middle is prettay, prettay good.
