Post-Game Talk: Stars 3 - Jets 2

[surixon]

First and third period were good, second was not. Dallas is a good team and they are good at getting sticks in to disrupt play. We took too much time to make plays at times and against a team like Dallas you have to move the puck quickly before they are able to get their sticks in.

A game like tonight is when we really could have used Helle to step up and make a big save or two. I feel he should have had the Johnston goal and he made his own problems with a poor rebound on the opening goal.

Defense wasn't as sharp as they have been. I felt there were too many poor reads and bad passes tonight. We turned the puck over way too much.

I'm not one to harp about faceoffs that much but we got killed in the dot tonight and ended up chasing the puck off the draw all night. Outside of that we still generated a decent amount but didn't cash on enough of our chances.

Fair weather fan makes negative comments. More news at 11


Thats what happens when a team plays one of the top teams in the league as opposed to a team that wont be sniffing the playoffs.

Yeah. Fair weather. You got me!

Stars had their backup in, they are still a better team overall than the Jets IMO

Shhhh stop being a negative fair weather fan….. /sarcasm

Pretty evenly matches as far as shots and chances - if Helle stood on his head, are we then the better team?
Sometimes goalies steal one - their backup played a good game and that impacted the outcome - but that doesn't make them a better "team"

The Jets played well vs one of the top teams. Did you think we would never lose a game again and is it really that hard to see the positives in a loss?

 

[AlaskaJet]

Not a game to turn off early.
3rd push.
Now we just need to figure out how to turn that on in the second.
A few gaffs but what the hey..
Who does Dallas ever edge by 1 goal?
Great 4 lines.
Iafallo will click eventually.
Jets not leaving Dallas and Av’s all alone up there. Upwards..

Dallas is a top 5 team. Jets are somewhere between 8-12 in the league. Not surprising to lose but a good effort and should give hope that they are close. They are playing great, especially 5 on 5. I think there is a lot of room for growth and that is promising.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

6-1-1 in last eight. Lose one game and here they come.

Top 8 in the league. Jets suck lol
Just ridiculous expectations

 

[10Ducky10]

Great backup goaltending.
Positionally sound.

Jets have to be more consistent than what they showed today but they're playing well so far this season and are fun to watch again.

Bring on the Devils!

Bad second
We held our own.
You needed to be on hand for the brow beating

I'd settle for just league average from Helle right now. I'm sure he'll figure it out but he's been well below his usual caliber to date.

The good thing is we've played well enough to win games for him to give him the chance to find his groove.

6-1-1 in last eight. Lose one game and here they come.

4-2-2 in the last 8.

6-2-2 in the last 10.

 

[gojetsgo]

The point is they beat shitty teams and lose to good ones.
Therefore average team producing average results.

5 of our 7 wins were against teams currently in the playoffs, it's not even like we've been horrible in these losses other then the last 40 mins against the kings...

 

[SSCBLUEJET]

3-2 loss to a good team.
Maybe a game where Vilardi might have made a difference. Who knows?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Really gotta figure out special teams

Also arniel needs to recognize cole was having a game, and 2 not put him out 6 on 5 is assinine.

 

[robertocarlos]

Nice tea set Sip.

Posters should feel good about this game. The Jets showed no quit, and did not fold their tent and and go home -- they hung in there, with a 1st place team, and the game could have went either way.

Last year, we had a disgruntled Dubois, who didn't want to be here, which affected team morale, and we didn't know if Scheifele or Helle would return. The key piece we got back from the Dubois deal, was not in the lineup, ( Villardi) and that could have resulted in a goal.

This is an exciting team to watch, especially with Dillon turning into a Bobby Orr on the blueline. I think this team has to take the positives from this game, and keep on pushing for first place. Good effort, and against a good team.

I'm not sure why Pionk is out there. I get Lowry for an extra faceoff guy and to win pucks on the wall and screen but Pionk is not needed.

[ThinIce61]

Well if a Winnipeg team had to lose today I prefer it was the Jets.

I'll stand by my early season thoughts that as much as I like this team until we fix the special teams to get them to a decent level of consistent performance and Helle gets closer to Vezina Helle and steals us some games this is not a playoff team.

 

[GNP]

If you want to feel good about your home team, go over to the Oilers board.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Jets seemed a half to a full step slower than normal. Maybe they were nervous? Maybe there's a bug going around?

In any event, they did turn it on after Dillon's goal. Maybe if they could have played more of the game with that level of intensity, it would have been a different result.

Oh well, on to the next one.

 

[sipowicz]

Nice tea set Sip.

Only the finest Wedgewood

 

[Duke749]

Second period was painful to watch. Boring period but tons of unforced turnovers. Glad they pushed back and Helly gave them a chance in the third. Be nice for either goalie to steal a game. Haven’t gotten good goaltending this season.

 

[SUX2BU]

Fire Arniel

Am i doing it right?
