Finally got a good look at Copp's goal. Holy crap, that was greasy!

Having a third line that scores it's fair share of goals just takes a lot of pressure off your top 6. I have been wanting a third scoring line for ages so hopefully Moe continues time in these guys even when Perrault and Lowry get back. Let them form a more grinding fourth.

Copp SHOULD have over 20 goals but that was his 9th so maybe he gets 15.
Copp will never be an above average goal scorer... he needs above average chances to get below average numbers. However, he is very good at his third line role, and every contending team needs a solid third line. As long as his stone hands chip in the odd goal, we'll be okay.

I think we are in a battle for one of the last two wild card spots and if Chevy can get a defenseman , hopefully trading Frenchie in the process , we have a good team . Don't really think St.Louis would be happy having to play us in the first round :naughty: we have a very young team and to think we are in the hunt without Buff and Little all year is amazing , plus this is what i think about tanks . :nod:

I'm still several wins away from thinking we'll squeak into the playoffs this year. The victory was nice, but we've got miles to go.

I'm glad Copp got a lucky bounce and that we won the game.
But we certainly didn't deserve to win.
I've seen the Jets give up a lot more goals, be caught running around worse etc...
But I'm not sure I've ever seen the team completely give up the way they did in the 2nd period the moment the Blues scored their first goal. Just zero effort or fight to try to stay in the game and win. Guys like Morrissey and Scheifele couldn't be bothered to push off with their skates, gliding was all they were willing to do as they watched the Blues beat us to every puck and win every battle. Roslovic had a shift where his line was pinned in the whole time. The puck went low to high and around a few times. He just stood in the same place not moving at all. Twice they carried the puck right past him and he didn't even waive his stick at it. It was bizarre. Luckily we weren't as awful in the 3rd and once we got our lucky goal had a bit of fight in us.

Whatever happens - happens this year but for F$%&s sake DO NOT go adding at the deadline for this team. This current team would likely get swept by any opponent. One word for this Jets squad... FRAGILE.

If Hellebuyck doesn't stand on his head we have zero chance in most games.

So as long as Helly steals games and we keep our cool we are golden . :laugh:
