Post-Game Talk: The Laine Show. Jets Win 4-3 in OT

[AWSAA]

i have no idea how long u have been posting on here but laine is not a center!!!...do not centers carry the line like 55!!

Mark benefits from his linemates just as much as anyone, having one of the deepest wing groups in the entire league to play with.

holy shit Laine's post game interview is legendary! Damn I hope we can keep this kid here.

Laine:

He's (Ehlers) a pigeon, don't listen to that guy.

*in regards to the reporter asking him about Ehlers digging on him for being a big guy and never fighting

Also Laine:

I was pissed off, that would've been a Gordie Howe hat-trick.

At some point if you can't sign him, everyone needs to be traded before the have zero value. But to date Chevy has played this very well. He hasn't escalated anything, or allowed anyone in the organization to escalate the situation. As I said before, once Laine realizes he can carry his own line he will fill more and more comfortable in his role with the team.

Overall game:

1st line: Ehlers was great game, Mark had a decent game. Wheeler didn’t look good, I think Wheeler slow starter syndrome strikes?

2nd line: Stats had a decent game. KC looked good & dangerous offensively. Laine had a very good game, offensively, very solid defensively and love him standing up for KC and dropping his gloves.

3rd line: I thought the entire line was solid overall.

4th line: Not bad

Josh pairing: Josh had a very solid game, Poolman wasn’t great. DeMelo please come back.

Pionk pairing: I thought that had a solid game, impressed with Forbort play.

Niku pairing: Niku was good offensively but pretty shaky defensively.....Beaulieu was shaky also overall. This pairing needs to be fixed, changed badly.

Lol Laine's post game is gold. Slept on defense, wanted a break away, faked out some Flames players in our end, faked out myself and it went in!

Hockey's back 2nd and 3rd looked good, 2 points is 2 points let's go!

Stastny allowed them to shine.

Ehlers played with Mark not Stats. Laine played with Stats. But yes Stats was very solid

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Lol born and raised in Winnipeg.

How about the Finnish district in Northern Garden City?

 

[Mud Turtle]

A player like Niku (maybe not Niku himself) brings a much needed element to our D. I thought he was very good in the first two periods but the third was really rough.
Hopefully Heinola fills that roll soon.

 

[Scheifele55]

know who looked good on D?
Morrissey
Forbert

know who didn't?
Niku
Beaulieu

Beaulieu looked really bad out there like he was chasing players and unable to overpower anyone in his own end. Niku looked so lost defensively. Definitely not a good impression made there. Cannot wait for DeMelo to return. I hope the Jets roll the same lines but have DeMelo with Beaulieu.

 

[Jyri]

That was a Gordie Howe hat-trick for Laine! Way to go!

 

[surixon]

Ehlers played with Mark not Stats. Laine played with Stats. But yes Stats was very solid

I think Stastny knows his role on that line. He is there to provide offensive support and take care of the defense.

 

[Scheifele55]

Stastny allowed them to shine.

How did Stastny allow Ehlers to shine? Ehlers was on the 1st line.

Laine came to play, Ehlers looking great and KC pretty good as well. Niku shouldn't be paired with Booboo - though that one extended defensive zone fiasco began with Wheeler missing 3 passes in a row... He was fighting the puck as badly as Niku tonight. Schiefs, JoMo, Pionk all solid, and Apples & Copp as well. Man, does Lowsy have stone hands still or what...

I didn't mind Forbort, and Perrault is good on the 4th line. Stats was a bit rough, but maybe the older guys just need to shake off some rust.

Ehlers should have been playing in PP1 when Laine was in the box... The Laine -> KC goal was nice - that's what happens when you have threats on both sides, the PK pays when they cheat towards Laine.

Heinola would be an improvement over several D, we'll see how that goes. Good to watch the Jets again, and very rewarding to see them win in OT.

Go Jets! Win all the games!

 

[Packofwolves]

seems like youth and speed wins for the jets ...not unlike a few years ago..when they they were described as being a pack of wolves.

Sure looked like it

He has 10 % of cap tied until 2024 for an aging player that plays same position than Laine. Yes very well played.

Imagine if Laine would be long term instead Wheeler. Even if Laine would sign Wheels deal will be a huge burden. Typical golden handshake for an old pal.

[Scheifele55]

By the end of the game, Morrissey and Pionk were by far our best D...

Forbort's only good play was throwing himself into the goal to save himself from being the goat

Still want DeMelo back in the lineup asap

Forbert seemed very comfortable in his own end with the puck which is important for this team that seems to struggle with pressure in their own end.

 

[surixon]

Well the team has a few days to work on shoring up some of the things. The one thing I was not a fan of was putting Pionk on the PK, I get that DeMelo was away but you put your best dmen out in that situation.

I'll give this a single Dostoevsky/(out of a possible 5) for the first period.
