Post-Game Talk: Wasn't that a delight, Islanders 6 - Jets 3

[macmaroon]

First place jinx ...
Florida lost 3 in arow to lose 1st place
Boston lost 2 in arow will lose 1st if Panthers tie or win tonight
Jets lost 2 in arow lose 1st place
Just kidding about the jinx I'm pointing out the Jets aren't the only team to lose 2 games in arow ... trying to still positive but its getting harder these days.

Islanders will still be hard pressed to make the playoffs so todays game was extra special for them

They reclaimed their title to the best 4th line in the NHL.

They are in tight for the playoffs. This win is big for them.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

The Isles are happy ... they snapped their 6 game losing streak.

The jets seem to help teams get out of slumps. They are very generous.

 

[Hobble]

Boys, the Jets just want second place in the division because they don’t want anyone saying they breezed their way to the Finals. help

 

[robertocarlos]

Is Long Island a swamp? NJ and Washington are swamps.

 

[ecolad]

Real awful effort. Top line was beyond awful. They should be motivated tomorrow.

Was happy with the play of the fourth line. It was the only thing that was good about today's game. Happy Cole's goaless drought is over, thought he played well.

Yup. Especially when you take into account that the Isles 4th line is VERY good and certainly amongst the best in the League. Don`t really understand a coaching decision to "get Perfetti going" by starting him in such a situation - same as I never understood decisions to start Heinola against the most aggressive, physical forechecking teams and benching him against other less aggressive teams. Seems counter-intuitive to me -but maybe....?

 

[Aggie204]

Glad I had work to district me from this lost (the Jets made me content at work instead of watching? WTF?)

 

[The Blue Baron]

Is the regular season over yet?

 

[Wedgeden]

Man, I get so annoyed when people on the Jets Facebook page say nothing else about a game like this except "can't win them all".

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Is the regular season over yet?

It would have been in the 60s

 

[SCP Guy]

Hey where is the tank thread? Asking for a friend

 

[SensibleGuy]

Is the regular season over yet?

no...but someone should inform the team about that detail.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Pre-season I had Jets finishing 3rd in the Central. Looking like a good bet now.

How will they do in the PO? Will the good Jets be able to show up often enough? Anybody's guess.

 

[Guardian17]

We stunk.

 

[SSCBLUEJET]

Ffs.
Back to digging holes in the pouring rain.
Shitty Saturday all around.

Meanwhile at the Moose game, shots are 35 to 8 for the Moose, score is 2-2.

Bones seems to do things a bit differently then some other coaches with young players. Maybe he thinks having to fight it out physically in the trenches gets one going. No idea, but he's played two really solid gamed his last three. I don't mind keeping him out of the top 6 today with how putridly awful they looked.

 

[sipowicz]

Another good game to miss, but listened to parts of it with screaming Edmonds!

Sounds like Dionky was superb!

Apples still minus the AHL prefix

Little Perfetan with a pity goal!

Once again, NO PUSHBACK!

Helly dressed

 

[gojetsgo]

If they stay with the same lineup you just know they will

I hope not, sometimes you can get too complacent and just go thru the motions, need a kick in the ass to get going every now and then

 

[Inanna]

When I compared the Jets' schedule with my own today, I knew I'd have to skip the game if I was to get everything done and still have time to prep for tonight. I was sad because I wanted to enjoy their bounce back game and watch them take out all their frustrations against the Islets. Turns out I made the right choice after all, even for the wrong reasons.

On a more empathetic note, any update of the coach's condition? After getting Kate's news, you start to wonder at prolonged silence.

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

Man it would be so nice to get first in the central so we can finally have a new banner hanging from the arena, instead of always retiring players numbers (not that I don't mind that at all )

 

[moosehead81]

On a positive note, win tomorrow and it’s 3 wins of a 5 game road trip.

It more the fashion they have lost them in. Complete no shows vs Vancouver, Nashville, NJ and the Islanders. It’s not like these have been barnburners and were 1/2 goal games. They literally never bothered to show up. And thats the concerning part. I think most of us could handle a close, hard fought loss, but these have been far from that. Context matters

 

[kaolinite]

We donthave "it"

 

[Stumbledore]

It would have been in the 60s

Yeah the season is too damn long now. Cut it back to 70 games and pro-rate the salaries back and the fans would love it. Players would probably go for it to since the shorter season would lengthen their careers.
