PLD and Scheifele were both bad. I thought PLD was worse than Scheif. That chart does not match what I saw. PLD did score a useless goal with < 1 min to go.

Yes, but Sawyer is at ice level and has a very close-up view of the Jets.But, but, but Sawyer says the Jets are fast
Some of these posters, however, you have to wonder what they're looking at or from.

Which is the only reason his game score isn't in the tank.

Its just you. Jets were just bad. Really effing bad. Other than Helle.
The top 6 needs some prodding to pass less, shoot more.

True
But last night was epically bad. The score flattered the Jets by about a 10 goal differential.

I see, thanks
Our crackpot announce team mentioned none of this or I some how missed it. From my perspective it seemed like there was some sort of challenge to see if we were offside but to determine if there was a penalty. I was freaking because I’d never seen that. With all the missed penalties in every game those reviews would get out of hand real quick (if they were a thing).

It came up after the game in the press conference. It wasn't clear at the time.
Yep.
Seems at times like we’re watching a repeat of the TC Great 6th D Battle but I think at this point you just play the best players in their best roles, which means Samberg in and Stanley spinning tall tales in the PB.
Don’t believe the height, Bonesy.

Did someone say horsin' around? He's no thoroughbred, but Bojack is all right in my books. And he'd look pretty good in our bottom 6.

THe Athletic had a thing or two to report upon:
WINNIPEG — There is no trade deadline cavalry capable of elevating Thursday night’s Jets into Stanley Cup contention. Winnipeg gave the puck away in its own zone, at its own blue line and at Buffalo’s blue line so often that, when asked about his players’ likely mindset as they made key decisions with the puck, Jets coach Rick Bowness summed it up with one word.
“Stubbornness,” he said.
It was apt. The Jets are full of scoring talent, speed and elite vision — a team so good it’s meant to be a player or two away from outright Cup contention — but little of that was on display against the Sabres. The Jets could trade for Timo Meier or Bo Horvat or Jonathan Toews for pennies on the dollar and it wouldn’t make a difference if their top players performed as they did Thursday. Those players can’t score a series-clinching goal if they’ve spent the whole night in their own zone because their teammates forced another breakout pass into traffic or turned an odd-man rush into three passes and a turnover.
Winnipeg got a late Nate Schmidt power-play goal and a Pierre-Luc Dubois goal with Connor Hellebuyck pulled to create a flattering 3-2 scoreline, but the game’s outcome was seldom in doubt. Buffalo outshot the Jets 36-21 overall and 30-13 at five-on-five; the flow of play was a waterfall that flooded Hellebuyck’s crease with pucks.
“A lot of it was self-inflicted,” Bowness said.

Whatever we were doing when we had 5 forwards and 2 D injured we need to start doing again. Earlier in the year the speed at which we were clearing our zone with possession was breathtaking. Recently we are handling the puck like a grenade missing the pin.
I thought this healthy Jets squad was going to get on a real hot streak considering the great results while missing so much talent.
We have been really good at preventing a 3rd loss so hopefully tomorrow is the start of a new streak of good play.

Thanks for commenting. Just a quick question: Zhamnov was before my time, was he a legit 1C? What line would prime Zhamnov play on with this Jets team?

holy really?
I am sure they have a message therapist, chiropractor, trainer, nutritionist, etc on call at all times home or road, so yah pampered as a pampered pro athlete can be these days. Unless Chipper is cheaping out but it never sounds like he does with regards to the club operations.
Does this speak to your logic?

Couple these boys need a waking.
But, but, but Sawyer says the Jets are fast
Jets aren't an overly fast skating team. When they are on they move the puck quickly.
I am hoping they practiced breakouts and breaking at practice today. The team needs to start moving up and down the ice as a unit again. Way too much individual play and leaving whoever the puck carrier is isolated through the nz or once they enter the zone. One thing Buffalo did exceptionally well last night was support the puck carrier.

Whiteout Is Coming.
There's a couple of theories about why teams play better with injured players out and when they come back.
It mostly has to do with mindset. Players tend to pay more attention to detail and are more focused and then you add the replacement players coming in who are pumped up to get a shot to show the team what they can do.
Then when the injured player(s) come back players tend to relax and the injured players need time to get into game speed condition.
Sports is all about being mentally prepared. You saw it last year with Helly.
What changed good Helly to bad Helly to good Helly in one year?
Hmmmm ... lets see could it be Helly was a father for the first time last season?
Same thing with DeMelo the previous year.
Why do you think players don't play when their wives are giving birth?
Just like coming off a long road trip ... hockey is not on their mind ... its family they missed them. Hockey players are humans not machines.
I posted the stats about teams coming off long road trips ... its not just the Jets.
Yup I usually stay out of them at least until the day after. Not a fan of the 'occasion' posters.
If I'm at home watching the game at home I usually come on to celebrate a bit if we win. But agreed, very rarely to I come by the PGT if we lose. There are some good posters that try and a give fair and reasonable assessment of the game, but many just come by to throw darts at their favourite targets.
Zhamnov was a 1 center he would be in a close battle with Scheifele and Dubois.
Actually just hit the net more, we were firing pucks that weren't anywhere near the net.

No, I don't think you spoke to her point at all. I think you missed the part about "their every whim" versus having to do what the team requires of them and dictating when they're required to do it. If you think having so much of your life dictated to you constitutes being pampered, so be it. I daresay the girl thinks differently.

Stumbly, I appreciate you understood the point I was making but do NOT presume to speak on my behalf.
I know you're a lawyer and probably slayed them in court but I rarely engage with beef jerky, and don't want someone with lots of learning and latin doing it for me.
And while I'm bitching, look up the definition of girl and woman.
