Post-Game Talk: Viktorious Forses - Predators 4, Jets 0

[Howard Chuck]

It boggles the mind. We are in the heat of a playoff battle and instead of people talking about what we need to do to counteract, it is all aren't we S***, Maurice sucks' everyone is terrible, bunch of losers etc. WE ARE STILL ALIVE IN THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS AND PLAYING A GAME 7 ON MAY 10TH AND SOMEHOW EVERYTHING SUCKS! Sorry for shouting but **** at least wait to we are actually eliminated to give up.

Lol. I feel like that could have been directed at me. I admittedly had too much to drink tonight and am now sitting on my deck having a beer and actually laughed out loud at your post.

Thank you for helping my night end on a good note

2 best teams in hockey evenly matched up going to a game 7. This is the way it was meant to be. I can live with the loss...clearly some of the Jets are banged up right now.... only thing truly disappointing was the complete lack of urgency on the power play in the first period. No excuse for that.

 

[folix]

No the first was Wheeler running straight into the back of Buff on one of our PP's trying to enter the Preds zone and looking like he ran into a wall .

LMAO lol Buff didnt even move but turned around and wondered what was that he felt?

 

[AlphaLackey]

I understand the optimism. But this isn't 14 year old little league. There are no participation trophies. They've had the series lead three times. They've failed to step on the Preds throat.

Because

GAMES

CANNOT BE f***ING WON

BY FORCE OF WILL ALONE

This is not the little leagues, you're right about that. So, did you LOOK at how f***ing close the series has been?

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

This is not bowling, running, triathalon, or any other "compete against your best time" sport. This is a team vs team sport where so much is out of your control.

A loss in one does not mean a failure of character or talent. Sometimes, it means the other team, who is ALSO you know really good, got the right breaks at the right time and parlayed the breaks the right way.

Every game, the underdog in the game has had a 45%+ chance to win each game.

How is this possible if one team merely needs to turn on enough soul energy and win by sheer willpower?

These two teams were incredibly close.

The series has been played incredibly close.

It's going to a best of 1 after a 3-3 tie.

The score does not represent any "failure" on either team's part. If anything, it's been nothing but proof positive about how close the matchup is.

Need I remind you the Jets have been FULL f***ING VALUE in a series with the PRESIDENT'S TROPHY WINNERS? This is almost EXACTLY THE MOST LIKELY THING that would happen!

 

[Easternbull]

Another huge egg laid in winnipeg and you could already smell it in the pregame interviews. What happened to " deal with the day" and "be here now"

Looked like Pomo and the boys were already prepping for Vegas.

Why bust up the lines for this one? little armia perrault was great in the last game, go back to game 5 lineup, please..

 

[axmachina]

Sure you are a genius, so please enlighten me as to how this can hold true: It is 20 years since the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Los Angeles Kings to win the 1993 Stanley Cup; no Canadian team has won the championship since. That's 26-0 record.

There are a total of 31 teams, 6 of those Canadian, or roughly 1/5th. Roll this 26 times and statistically one'd expect a Canadian team to win the Cup at least 5 times. The tally to date? Zero.

So exactly how would you explain away this startling loss streak? Still, see no need for a hard look at the current system in place and a change that is long overdue to better equalize the scale?

 

[folix]

Well im out, good night guys, Go Jets Go. Pomo just needs to not out think himself. The team got you here, trust it to take you all the way. Some times the worst thing you can do to a finely tuned engine is keep tinkering.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I’m calling a close jets win in Nashville in Thursday.


Yes we have to wait until Thursday.

If they lose the series, fans won't just get over it. There are no guarantees.

 

[Guffman]

I had a vision that Brian Little will score the go-ahead goal with 5:43 remaining in the third period of Game 7.

All will be well, Jetsville. Trust Guffman!

 

[robertocarlos]

Preds are pretty good or pretty lucky with the stick work. How do you block shots with the shaft of the stick?

 

[Ares]

If we're looking at positives I liked how Armia and Ehlers looked together. They had some nice offensive zone shifts. Why was Ehlers demoted though? Perrault didn't make 2nd line better. Maybe try KC with Laine and Stats next game and Perrault with 55 and 26. Keep Ehlers and Armia together.

Like Nashville is a very very good team. Maybe, just maybe, the Jets brought everything they had this game and Nashville was a little bit better at the right times, a little bit luckier at the right times, and this is just one of the 45%+ of the ways Nashville was going to win this game?

I just don't get it. I wish we would have won to. Christ almighty do I ever. But to even suggest the Jets were all lackadaisical and were like "f***in' meh this game's a writeoff we're down by 1 with 59 minutes left, we still got game 7"? Hint: Just because dozens of the so-called fans write games off tragically early doesn't mean the Jets did.


Hoo boy. Didn't think I'd say this on the heels of a 4-0 loss but the Jets are about the only people NOT giving me an embolism tonight.

 

[Ducky10]

They

They werent running a 1-3-1. It was a solid 1-4. It wasnt the old tampa bay system. Of course to be honest NHL teams run multiple systems with multiple lines. Aka Shiefs line could run a 2-1-2 and Lowry a 1-4. I did not see the 1-3-1. Doesnt mean they didnt run it. Doesnt matter the 1-3-1 is as beatable as the 1-4.

Are the Bruins in the playoffs still?

I do agree the Pred puck support was far better. I dont know if I would say they won more board battles though. I thought honestly that was in our favor or fairly even.

In the end 0-4 on the PP. That sucked.

They were not playing a solid 1-4, they ran 1-3-1 multiple times and the Jets managed to get in behind with some stretch passes a few times, alas, no support..

I said the Bruins under Julien, the 1-4 was a staple of his teams there. I think his name is on that big shiny trophy we're all fixated on as a result.

Subban, Ekholm and Josi were very strong along the wall. Won a lot of pucks at key times.

PP was the story of that game, not bad coaching and the trap.

 

[Halberdier]

He was far better than 57-7 tonight and last game, even Stevie Wonder could figure that out.

Number #7 has really been hurting us against the Preds. That's sad as I was already tricked to believe that Chiarot might be after all a quite OK NHL defenseman, even after previous season when he was one of the worst of already bad (healthy) D corps.

I think PoMo should try Morrow instead of Chiapet next game.

That 2nd goal was just unacceptable.

Edit: and for sure Enström is good. Not awesomely great but good.

Give me 26 samples in a row of anything and I'll retroactively find patterns after the fact that will blow your mind and would be masterpieces of oraculation if I could have predicted them, you know, a quarter century in advance.

[KingBogo]

At this moment I'm glad game 7 isn't until Thursday. I think the extra day helps flatten things out. And I don't mind it being on the road and I like that it starts at 7 PM CST. And I will enjoy at least 3 more days of us being in the playoffs and then hopefully some great joy and another series after that.

_______________________________________________________

I agree with Bogo here -- we're "not" going to a funeral here, so we as fans have to become battle hardened like we expect our team to be. I think we can go into Nashville and win it--we've done it 3 times, and can do it again.

It seems like "home ice" has been a negative in this series -it has shown to be, so let's keep the faith and get behind our Warriors and not give in- like a bunch of quitters.

Even if we lose Game 7 --look where we came from last year --we were scratching to get a wild card -- now we're playing the best team in the NHL for a berth in the Conference Final --we should be proud of how far we've come either way. We took the best team to 7 --and we can win this !!!

 

[Positive]

Forsberg making fools out Trouba and Chiarot. Wtf Trouba why are you leaving your man to go behind the net? Chiarot has no effing idea where Forsberg is, and didn't play the puck either. Myers a giveaway machine with his slow passes.

Powerplay with no urgency. Incredibly predictable. Buff to Wheeler to Buff to Laine for a long range shot. We had 4 PPS but I'm not even sure if we managed 4 shots on those terrible power plays.

Everyone trying to dangle and make the extra move (and then losing the puck) instead of putting the puck to the net. It was like watching a bunch of Burmistrovs. So frustrating. FFS you're down by 2 in the 3rd and you're still doing the cute fake shot, or the no- look backhand pass to nobody?

No desperation or urgency from the get go. Just like game 4.

 

[Do or Die]

Jets had every thing going for them......chance to close out, playing at home, with the momentum. They proceeded to bring not much tonight. Does not take a negative nelly or a negatron to point this out....as fact.

 

[kanadalainen]

#respect

But, lots of this are simply hot (really hot) takes. The manifestations of heavy investment are literally all over the place. Mild to wild.

 

[NotCommitted]

**** the white out, what did it ever win the Jets? Nuke the whole Jets 1.0 history, rename the team to Winnipeg Cauliflowers or something and go for the Winning ways! Fire the coach, fire the players, import new fans from somewhere else, fans who are not masochistically addicted to the choke experience. Do something! Win game 7! And somebody give Laine his cookies, the kid looks like his bottom lip is about to start shaking.

After the last two home games, I'm seriously liking the Jets chances better on the road. I see absolutely no reason why they can't steal this on Preds home ice. Too bad if they advance from this series they have home ice advantage the rest of the way?

I'm not a genius, but just sharing my 2 Euro cents. There are maybe 31 teams (or a bit less for the last 26 years), but only some of them are contenders. So it's more like rolling the dice for 6-8 teams / year than for 30 teams.

I don't have any statistics but just feel that there haven't been too much of those times when you have had a good number of Canadian teams in those 6 top contenders. Flames were pretty close once I think, Quebeck Nordiques was already Colorado when they won etc.

 

[one other person]

Moaning about tonight's game is ok. Just don't count the Jets out yet.
