Bucky needs to look at some old Billy Smith tapes on how to use your stick and I don't mean with the puck, way to much crease action against him.

Imagine being Nic Petan, if you were him how would you feel if even after that game you weren't put in the lineup?

A session at the Jamie McLennan Charm School might do him wonders.

Like a stowaway that got kicked off the Titanic in Ireland.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This was the worst loss I've seen all year, it was sad I witnessed it first hand. Just looking forward to heading to Vegas tomorrow evening, hope it makes this trip better.

But I think Brossoit deserves the next 3-4 starts.

 

[AlphaLackey]

If Chevy stands pat, he is not only clinically insane but unfit to hold the job of General Manager. Absolutely no way that you blow up the whole season out of pique at this point.

And I would just like to point out that I did separate "clinically insane" from "unfit to hold the job of General Manager" partly for rhetorical purposes, but mostly out of respect to Mike Milbury.

isn't the 4th line the only line that is playing well .

isn't the 4th line the only line that is playing well .

Well is a relative term. Mainly because the expectations of them are so low, it’s hard to be disappointed.

Post-game audio:

Players - Wheeler & Lowry.

Coach Maurice scrum topics: How disappointing was it to see a game like this tonight? How does he explain the 3rd period? On the Jets being embarrassed?

To listen click here.

Confirmation from Lowry: The Jets feel fat and comfortable with themselves, but they're not that good. Or not that ****ing good, to be accurate.

 

[KB1971]

isn't the 4th line the only line that is playing well .

They could sit someone not on the 4rth line and play Petan on any of the other 3 lines - bench any forward, I'm OK with it, they all deserve it after this game.

Personally, I had a feeling back in November that we would be in a position like this during this exact time of the year.

I have been saying it from the start of the season that this team is not as good as there record indicates and it will catch up to them one day. Too many cracks were showing even when they were winning. How many total games can you say wow they looked great. This team is lazy and plays a period a night usually.

Confirmation from Lowry: The Jets feel fat and comfortable with themselves, but they're not that good. Or not that ****ing good, to be accurate.

Why wouldn’t they feel fat and comfortable when the only players held accountable are the rookies? I get that you can’t bench guys like Wheeler and Scheifele no matter how badly they play, but a guy like Lowry could absolutely get sat for a game to send a message. It’s as if everyone who has been on the team for more than a year is Teflon to this regime.

 

[MrvJets]

Jets need to go out and party together in Vegas to bond, get a good night's sleep and play like demons next game.

Vegas is going to destroy this team. Might as well fly over and don't land.

 

[MrvJets]

Hate to keep saying the same thing but this team is not nearly as good of a team without Buff and Ehlers . They both bring dimensions to this team that we don't have enough of . Buff with toughness , skill , bravado and Ehlers with speed and offense . I'm gonna wait to write this season off until i see a couple of games with both of them back in the lineup . By the way i like Niku but he's no Buff , look how bad Charoit was tonight . At least when Buff is playing he makes Charoit serviceable .

Buff while back was atrocious and very rusty.

I think the above definitely matches the eye test and reflects the decreased level of play over a long period of time. It is absolutely shocking that no significant line up adjustments were made since early December. An outcome like tonight was predicted by several posters on this board, and I can see they were correct. The downward trajectory was evident and no adjustments to the lineup were made.

I still think we will be okay...as long as Maurice provides some smart, dynamic coaching here on out.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

A 7-1 loss, and Hellebuyck was the best Jet on the ice tonight. Isn’t that something to think about.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Chevy will stick to his plan and his price. He's not a panicky GM, thankfully.

His price may be too high for some...although we may never know as another team could outbid him.

 

[Gm0ney]

That was Last-Days-of-Claude-Noel bad out there...

 

[TheJadePipe]

If Chevy stands pat, he is not only clinically insane but unfit to hold the job of General Manager. Absolutely no way that you blow up the whole season out of pique at this point.

Or.... Is he insane trading valuable assets for a team that won’t go anywhere playing like this, no matter who he gets?

When did Buff and Ehlers get knocked out of the line up compared to this graph?

 

[HPsauce]

Can Maurice hold his team accountable going forward? I doubt it.

 

[Aggie204]

This is a leader, take note 26 & 55

 

[nippanappa]

On a positive side, we finally saw some lineup changes. Maybe that'll spark the vets and oir young guns.

Too late to react is more his style... which may turn out just as bad.
