We are back to losing streak hockey, it looks the exact same as the way we closed out the season. We're awful at home, we're awful after breaks, we're awful against trap hockey. We're just awful.
This is a repeat of last year's play-ins. PLD is absolutely horrific, I'm sorry for ever having faith in him. We shouldn't be losing this badly to such a bad team, with the most irritating fanbase on earth.

I was thinking the same thing. Dubois was not the problem on that line tonight. Never mind Connor, Wheeler did not do anything to help the cause.

I would not blame any of them. But there is very little chemistry. I really think we need to switch the lines up a lot, if for no reason that Montreal would have troubles with matching. What happened tonight can’t continue.

Benn brings nothing to the table but then again we already knew that, and Stanley had his worst game as a Jet, coincidently they were paired together, made me almost wish Boo Boo was available...........................................almost

This is what happens when players come to Montreal, hopefully this doesn't happen to any jet players

Shit. Sorry y'all, just finished watching and that was disappointing. A bit of a push those last three minutes, but no real urgency all night long. Maybe being on the road is what they need to remind them they are in the playoffs.

I was going to predict a big game for PLD before the game. Glad I didn't, he looked all kinds of lazy and gutless tonight. Way too many times he was out muscled for the puck by smaller players.

See you all for game three Sunday, hopefully something changes with the game planning or between their ears.

:towel:Lets go Jets!:towel:

No defensive strategy should give the other team multiple 2-on-1s like we do. If the other team doesn't with a like-minded strategy, but we still manage to, there's something wrong with our strategy. We had the last change too. I don't know if it's personnel, or if it's what the personnel are told to do. I'm flustered.

Thing is....we are still not generating any offense, while coughing up quality chances....

Well, I am a realist, chances of coming back to win this series with two losses at home is slim to none. When I broke down this series with a group of friends in a chat I figured it would come down to which team defense was able to play their game better. I still believe our forwards have more depth in scoring, but we struggle to produce against teams with solid defense and solid goaltending.

Price is in a different world right now, our forwards are not producing.

Our D have to play more offensively and that causes break downs.

Also WTF was the backcheck on that goal tonight. GREAT FLY BYE from I believe it was Connor? Guess body or puck isn't a thing anymore.

I mean, they tried, I guess, for parts of the game. Brutal hockey, brutal game, brutal series overall.

That KFC flyby for the GWG was one of the weakest PO defensive plays I’ve seen in a long time, even for him. That’s benchworthy stuff.

MP was a buzzsaw here and there. Ehlers looks hurt. Harkins and Ves skated hard but their confidence looked shot, and why not, they haven’t played enough to plausibly have any at this point, especially in terms of offence. The lineup choices were just weird; no one looked like they were playing in the right spots on the right lines — but there are just too many holes right now and this is kind of what the PoMo deployment and system of trying not to lose gets you. Plonk and JMo did what they could. PLD woke briefly to miss the net. Otherwise this team look checked out.

Maybe we get another Churchillian masterpiece from PoMo to rally the troops for Game 3, but I’m not sure it makes any difference now because I’m not sure how much they really want to win this. I actually dozed off during that last PP and I’m now weighing mowing the lawn during the next one.

Yeesh. Maybe going on the road will provide that rocket boost.

Ok
We are down 2-0. Plenty of teams have been. But the way we are playing right now, is not exactly fanning hope...
Win the next one, and get back in the series. We are running out of chances
