Post-Game Talk: Streak busters, Jets win 8-4

[johnnyonthspot]

Just got home from the game. Sure was sloppy but fun with all the Habs jerseys going home sad. Glad the Habs didn’t start Hammond or we might not have got away with that one.

Now that is facts! For once they did not get goalied.
No playoffs for either team

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Really baffling… but to be fair it was never ending special teams

I hadn't even realized until I looked at the summary that our last 4 goals were all on the PP!

 

[KingBogo]

who was it that was trying to push that fan fiction that scheif didn't like pld and it showed because he never smiled when pld would score a goal? seemed pretty happy tonight...

I’m not sure why anyone takes that made up shit seriously. Typing some made up speculation doesn’t make it true even if some seem to believe it.

 

[TheBuyckStopsHere]

I'm not going to be too critical. It's one of those wacky type games.

I'll take any win right now whether it be 8-4 or 9-7. Hell, Maple Leafs just had an NFL score the other night don't think they really care.

I think this 4 game home stand is really our season we need to win all of them.

Hey does everyone in the Jets locker room love each other, probably not, none of us are in the room or knows the dynamics of who likes who and who doesn't care for a certain player. I could care less who is best buds as long as when they go on the ice they battle for each other and step up when it's needed.

80's hockey. Having fried ice cream at Chi Chis right now.

That brings back memories

Memories of diarrhea.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

You don’t get a plus for a power play goal. He had two power play points. Plus/Minus isn’t the best indicator of someone’s performance.

Not the best - but it might be the worst.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

Dubious stat alert!

 

[TheHead]

Well that was certainly...... a game...... or something.

Odd - but we'll take the win! Heaven knows we need them....

 

[gojetsgo]

Dubious stat alert!

am I suppose to feel sad or happy about this?

Very good point but many nights it looks like they do not have each others backs, which leads to questions about if the room is fractured. Winning does hide the problems and losing exposes them plus enough people in this city know someone, who knows someone, who heard something about the team.

Which means the Habs are the first team in NHL history to go down by 4, tie it up at 4 and go on to lose by 4.

Yes.

The Colorado game was a good example of that. We watched them give up. Maybe they're super psyched about covid rules loosening in winnipeg and now we'll get a 10 game win streak who knows.

Seeing scheif and Dubois chatting and laughing together on the bench gave me hope for what things could be.

Thought exactly the same thing.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Feels good to see Mark smile. That hasn’t happened much this season.

I loved seeing him have fun with the walk off.

 

[SimpleSimon]

That was one of the oddest games I've ever seen. Start like house on fire, proceed to blow a 4 goal lead by playing like ass, before storming back and clinching it in the third.

I don't know what to make of this team sometimes but they got the win to keep pace with Edmontons win.

It’s easy. Two bad teams played.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Then you would be happy with me right now!

 

[jgimp]

That looked like my old timers hockey!

 

[Howard Chuck]

Yes

K-Ves looked more engaged tonight playing with Copp and Lowry

GNP
He wanted to trade Helle and go with LB two years ago among many other rash "opinions of the day".

Anything can happen but they have way too many weaknesses, lapses in judgment and inability to pay attention to detail to win consistently.

 

[KingBogo]

Why even worry about school girl gossip. It is meaningless. There have been champion teams where players hated each other. And bottom dwellers that were as tight as brothers. It has next to no importance.

Another great game by 81-80-71 line. The more they look so good together the tougher the questions get for the Jets coaching staff to answer as to why that line was handled the way it was.

Another insane fact- Svechnikov was not only in the doghouse but out of the lineup in favor of guys like Poganski, Reichel, Veslainen and Harkins, he may not even be playing if Reichel hadn't gotten hurt. From being bad enough to not get in ahead of those guys to being a great 2nd liner... not a good look on the coaches who kept him out.

He wasn’t really playing well. Coaches know more than we do
