Tough loss last night. The 1st goal is huge in this series. The Preds get it on a lucky play and it changes the tone of the game. Once they got the 2-0 lead they did a good job in clogging up the lanes and limiting possession and chances. Full marks to the Preds, they deserved the win.
The Jets, while maybe not playing bad (they are playing against a good team) didn't do themselves any favors and certainly didn't do enough to win. Going 0 for 4 on the PP isn't good, but even worse was the way they did it. Next to 0 zone time with puck control, very disjointed and uncoordinated zone entries, and 2 PP's where they didn't even get a shot. That needs to change.
Seeing Morrissey and Trouba get less minutes than Chariot and Myers is beyond tiresome at this point. The numbers and results between the two pairs isn't even close, and the fact that Chariot and Myers is out there more seems like a huge black mark on this coaching staff.
That being said, I still have hope for Thursday night. It's a one game winner take all, and we've had success in their building. Hopefully everyone brings their A games on Thursday.
Go Jets Go!
