Post-Game Talk: Streaking Jets 6 - Mustard Kittens 3

[The Hobgoblin]

I love how the first line has responded to a sluggish stretch with just amazing play the last few games.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Samberg with a lot of blocked shots. Nashville broadcast gushing over him.

Nashville with probably the best -unbiased-broadcast team in the business.

Yea i can't believe when players play bad people say they play bad then when they play good people don't say they play bad, weird stuff indeed.

Very happy to see Connor picking it up, especially looking engaged in the dzone

Or it means we are too quick to call for a guy to be traded. I mean, if we traded a guy because he is mediocre Ehlers wouldn’t no longer be a jet. Now, let’s hope he can start putting up some points.

I’m not sure if Moose Night was meant to sell the Jets to Moose fans, or vice versa, but this game was an excellent selling point.

[oh right, the goal that was allowed; forget that quip]

I’m not sure if Moose Night was meant to sell the Jets to Moose fans, or vice versa, but this game was an excellent selling point.

And all goals scored by former Moose players, BTW.

Dillon scored a goal.

 

[UFO]

Some great goals scored. Looks like our boys were having fun last night.

It's exciting watching Scheifele and KFC fully engaged, and perhaps realizing that 100 point seasons are in play if they want it bad enough. I've never been big on their chemistry together - say for the odd game - but it feels completely different now. I would have been all for breaking them up last week, now, no. KFC has been playing well in his own end 3 out of the past 4 games (IMO), average to above average which is more than enough from him. He's getting separation like his old self too, not to mention rediscovering his teleportation abilities in front of the net.

Scheifele and Lowry, 30-year-olds, just fantastic this year. They're playing their best hockey.

I'd credit that 3rd line (which has been the #1 or #2 most of the year), for really galvanizing the Jets, and for the first line deciding to join the party. Iaffalo's play certainly has rubbed off on them too. Watching the 3rd line is absolutely refreshing. It's MUST SEE TV frankly.

If anything, it helps take pressure off of Perfetti, to develop the right way; which he's been doing.

Big credit to Arniel too, for distributing the minutes played, better. Less is more in some cases.

Hmm, Jets put their best playmaker on the PP1 and boom, it starts to score.. "supprised pikachu face"

 

[Jets 31]

Nice game from captain Lowry , he set the tone early for this one. Connor and Scheifele both playing very well. And another Central division win and a clean 2 points again, nice. Now we boogie-woogie.

There is a difference from criticism of play with an analysis of what may be impacting play and screaming that players must go anytime they struggle.

 

[surixon]

As an aside I hope Lowry didn't mess up his hands too much fighting. He seemed to defer some faceoffs in the third.

 

[kanadalainen]

The Jets are playing some exciting hockey lately.

The arena sounded great on the (Preds) broadcast in the 3rd.

Always nice to see the Preds get stomped.

The barn was jumping. What a difference a year makes. Scheiffle was engaged, Ehlers was flying, Perfetti is more confident, the captain sets the tone and the fans approved. The refs did help fire us up last night with their WWE style calls.
I am cautiously optimistic this team has the right chemistry to keep it going.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Nice to see the TOI distributed so well among the four lines.

Not a fan of Brossoit in net though (so far, anyway).

 

[Weezeric]

Don't look now but I think bones low scoring system has two guys in the top 20 pts in the league...

It was so good to see Scheifele break up a rush on the back check and turn the puck up the ice to Connor for the backhand goal. The whole play was just *chef’s kiss*

 

[Jets 31]

The Jets are playing some exciting hockey lately.

I agree.

 

[Jet]

So many reasons to be excited about the Jets right now.

1 point out of first in the Central
Only 4 regulation losses

We're here considering:
We haven't had our 1RW all year
Ehlers has been mostly absent
Our goaltending has been below average
Our special teams have been bad (getting better)
We have Schmidt

The new guys, the reborn guys, active d and really strong 5v5 play have really led the charge for us.

We know our goaltending will be better, we're getting Gabe back, hopefully Heinola, and you have to think Ehlers is going to figure it out (he's getting a little better each game)

I always said we'd be fighting for first in the Central. f*** Vegas is the class of the league but I think we'll be right up there with them when all is said and done

The Oilers would love Brossoit in net.

Agreed, don't forget the 2nd best team in Canada. Don't tell Sportsnet or TSN though, it's us Jets fans little secret.

This board is hilarious when it comes to our backups.

When they're here we bash them, when they leave we bemoan it.

Maybe, just maybe backup goalies aren't fantastic and that's why, well, they're backups

 

[The Blue Baron]

At least we are no the the Oilers!

Are they tanking?

 

[DRW204]

Top line is clicking now. Great to see

Not meaning to trigger anyone but Bross reminds me of.... Beauregard!!!

Good positional goalie who's also good for one five hole stinker per game...

 

[bustamente]

I think moving Perfetti to wing after the start of the season was a great move for him and the team. Not saying that he wont be a centre down the road but for the rest of the year I hope he stays on the wing when Vilardi comes back.
