A pint of dark matter, please.
Was at the game. Found it hilarious that we threw the free touques on the ice after the kc goal. The cheap thrifty Winnipegger in me was like… why throw them away? they are free damnit! At the same time though I was like yay we won lol

I thought the Connor, PLD and Svech line looked pretty great for their first time playing together - can only imagine what they would be like with more time, although I will freely admit to a not-so-secret bias of wanting Dubois and Svech to play together again long-term and light up the NHL. 
Come on boys show em what you can do! Give Maurice no choice but to move Wheeler to the third line!
Ehlers is starting to heat up a little, and Copp is continuing to bust his butt and just make play after play, but Stastny was having trouble keeping up with the two youngsters. Ideally I would like to see Perfetti centering that line - could be dynamite! Stastny back to the wing on the third with limited minutes.
Otherwise I thought Beaulieu was one of the best defencemen tonight (what is this team?), Pionk was good, ditto DeMelo and Stanley, Morrissey average to slightly below-average, Dillon still finding his place but generally solid, however Schmidt is starting to worry me a little with his play - those blind suicide cross-ice outlet passes are going to kill us, and his endurance isn't looking to be the greatest. Hope it is just early season jitters.
Hellebuyck bailed us out of this one until Connor took putting the game away into his own hands later.
Such a strange start to the season, but we needed this one for some confidence.

Disagree. Ducks have played very well against us in both games. They controlled play in our zone big time tonight.
Perfetti is the long term solution but even schief Ehlers Copp sas others suggested.I thought the Connor, PLD and Svech line looked pretty great for their first time playing together - can only imagine what they would be like with more time, although I will freely admit to a not-so-secret bias of wanting Dubois and Svech to play together again long-term and light up the NHL.

A few of the old guys need to be sent down for conditioning. Why they aren’t playing them 20+ minutes in preseason is beyond me. Jets need to rethink preseason.
All the traditionally slow starters should be played to the max in pre-season. Speed up the slow start.

Yep - keep showing me up Andrew! I'll gladly take my lumps for being wrong if you keep playing this way!

That's how I saw it too
Dubois had a great game as did Connor. Bank the 2 points and bring on the Preds!
Bigger hair gives the illusion of smaller face maybe?

This is the type of win that, regardless of whether they played well or not, can make a team feel way better this earlier in the season.
I suspect we'll see two more wins coming up, minimum.

I think these two will be okay eventually - my sense is that Pionk doesn't know where he stands on this line, as Dillon is the big physical guy and he is smaller, but he'll figure out soon enough that he's the better of the two defencemen, and then will play with more confidence. Probably why Dillon is a little unsure of himself too right now. I'm not worried about them.

Yeah, I think that would be worth a look. But Perfetti until Scheif is back would be my preference.

Some thoughts after 4 games.
When Helle is on his game the Jets win.
PLD is playing like a 2nd C.
Copp just might be a top 6 forward.
Jets D still a tire fire defensively.
Jets D much better offensively.
Career year for Connor?
Waiting on Ehlers to break loose.
PP? To early to tell.
PK? To early to tell.
Jet's defensive game still a tire fire with or without Scheifele and Wheeler playing.

Oh, I'm not saying we played well. I just think we have enough talent that we can overcome our poor team play.
Vezina Helle is our only real strategy, and it's nice to see him play like he can. And good to see the offense scoring above our xG as usual.
I think they should be fine too. Like I said, early returns. It's not like pionk isn't accustomed to playing with more stay at home or physical guys. His partners here prior to Dillon have been basically that stylistically, although much worse in actual overall impact (ie sbisa, kulikov and forbort.... Yuck. Pionk has it rough lol)
