None of that matters when you got players who are not scoring who should be. We can't win a series when half your season goal scoring has 1 goal between them

I don't think it's accurate at all that the Jets weren't prepared to play. Outside of some poor decisions at the defensive blue line, the Jets carried the 1st. Thought they were a bit unlucky not to be at least tied after the period.
If the Jets could have potted one in the first 10, there is a good chance it's a different game.

If Rinne doesn't throw his stick and have the knob of it somehow hit the puck this is a completely different game.
No need to panic, we've proven we can win in Nashville. This series is still there for the taking.

I agree that those players need to be better, but yes of course it matters. Their 4th line has scored in consecutive games, ours has been a liability. How can that possibly not matter?

Agreed, we can talk about Hendricks all we like but Connor and Ehlers need to step up. At some point your two 30 goal guys need to bear down and make something happen. Connor was particularly poor last night in a lot of areas. He needs to get it going.
2 things- the Preds PPG was on a make up call gifted to them. The officials didnt do this even out thing in game 1 in Nashville.
Its only because of a Kuli injury that Benny is playing. Would Kuli have helped prevent the first goal? Arguable. Point is Preds arent dealing with injuries on D.
Keep the eyes on the prize.

And my question still is what other coaches in the 2-2 series are geniuses or morons? LV has won 7-0 and lost 4-0 against SJ. Was Gallant a genius in game 1 and an outclassed poor coach that didn't have his team prepared in game 3?

A pint of dark matter, please.
PoMo will pump his tires and get him going again.
Actually Hendo is looking kind of buff in this pic. Jacked, like just after running three sets of 100 lb curls.
Lovely quote and summation.
I keep thinking back to Scheifele's comments after the Duck's series when he got owned as a young inexperienced player and really good veteran centers in Getzlaf and Kesler. The I need to be better comments and deal with the intensity of the playoffs. This time around Scheif is a beast, but the kids going through it for the 1st time look like the weight of the world is on their shoulders.
Thinking about that more but shouldn't that be a penalty shot/goal. I didn't think goalies where allowed to throw or make saves with their stick in such a manner.
I can confirm this. When I chat with Paul about line-up decisions, he never references HF forum comments.
If it makes the forums feel better, when Perreault is ready for next game, I will advise Paul to take Hendricks out of the line-up.
nobody important
the pessimist returns
My wife and I were in agreement last night (which is rare). That was a must win game. Now, I can't help but feel...

New line up
Perr--Little-- Armia
Lowry -- Copp-- Tanev
What to do with Connor, he and Copp are my biggest disappointments.
Sad to say Charoit and Myers are not performing at an acceptable level. Can we risk inserting Poolman or Morrow or both? We know PMo wont.
Vets lead and young studs finish.....Jets take the next one 4-1

I have made the Connor to Chef connection a few times already. He looks a bit overwhelmed at times and is really not playing his game. As Chef did I expect he will learn from his first postseason experience and be better for it moving forward. There is a real steep learning curve for young players.
It really does make you appreciate just how good Morrissey and Helle have been in their first playoffs. Both have arguably played better than how they played in the regular season. Patty has taken some lumps but he is still producing points at a rate close to his regular season production and has been real strong from a possession stand point. Ehlers has not produced points and his game has been a bit uneven at times but he has been one of our best play drivers.
Imo these playoffs are just the tip of the ice berg for this group of young talent.
Agreed. Once you get past the in the moment disappointment after a loss being 2-2 against Nashville is a fairly predictable outcome after 4 games. We are going toe to toe with the top team statistically this season and a team went to the cup final last season. I get the feeling some people expected us to go 16-0 with every game a blowout. Scoring early is important for us, and especially not going into the 3rd down. Nashville has such a strong defensive group that they can shut down the neutral zone to choke off a game when they need to.

Pissed off at himself? So what does he do? Goes out, makes a drive-by or two, waving his stick so gently and ineffectively that its breeze wouldn't flutter a Kleenex.

Morrow would at least bring some offence from the backend, besides Buff what other D man is?
Agreed on all accounts. The moment is very big if you have never been there before.
Obviously, you're correct. Laviolette made a brilliant move of taking out fiala for hartnell, absolutely brilliant. I mean, he was on the ice for the opening goal so it must be because of hartnell.
It's not at all the fact that Nashville tossed a puck at the net after a scramble and it found the net and the jets similar chance hit the knob of a stick.
I, for one, blame Hendricks for the fact that Ehlers and Connor have looked like garbage all playoffs.

Laine has looked like garbage through the whole playoffs, don’t know how anyone can say differently.
Preds series has been Schief, Buff, Wheeler, a little bit of Stats and sometimes Helly, that’s it folks!
step back off the ledge and let's look at the game.
for 2 periods, the jets were outshooting and likely outchancing Nashville. Morrissey missed scoring on a fluke save and that would have created a completely different game.
jets, for some reason, just didn't seem to have "it".
Laine had a pretty awful game. no, i haven't been hypercritical of him in the playoffs, but he's had a few stinker games. yesterday was full of poor decisions. weak on the puck, weak on his skates. dude needs to be better.
Stastny looked very good yesterday. Trouba was also good. Enstrom was really good, and if you think differently, then just give up on hockey. his D coverage on Johanssen on one shift was so perfect. managed to outmuscle a guy 100 lbs bigger than him and get the puck away.
Scheifele and Wheeler on a 2 on 1: stop f'ing passing! this is happening way too often. just shoot.
Jets weren't overly physical, which i found to be odd.
and one final note: assume that Perreault wasn't 100% ready to play yesterday. cleared vs ready are 2 different things. expect him to draw in for game 5. expect a different battle in game 5. and, for god's sake, i hope game 5 is more entertaining than last night's yawner.

Nashville played the perfect road game. Period. They gave the Jets no room, and last night, the Jets couldn't figure it out. They were in the game until it was 2-0, and then it was lights out.
Nashville figured out that they can't outgun the Jets (Game 1), they can't outskate them reliably (Game 2, which could have gone either way), and they sure as heck can't goon it up and play like idiots (Games 1-3). The only way the Jets get beaten is by almost 100% perfect discipline, which is what Nashville showed last night, and full credit to them; they deserved the win.
The problem is that playing like that is both incredibly boring, and very, very, very difficult. Can the Predators do it for another two games? I don't know, but if they do, they deserve to win the Stanley Cup, so good for them. The Jets will only be getting better, but this is as good as Nashville will ever be.
Even Subban figured it out last night, and kept his antics to a minimum. When he does that, he's actually an awfully good player. As an aside, you'd think our fans would have figured out by now that booing him just makes him play better.
This game would have been incredibly frustrating for the Jets, and they need to step up the speed. I don't think they completed a single pass last night that didn't look difficult. And although I don't like to call out individual players (last night was a team "effort"), it's time for Ehlers, Connor, and Laine to put on their big boy pants and bury a few.
