Post-Game Talk: What did you expect, Jets lose 4-1

[PaulPooley]

Blow it up.

 

[WolfHouse]

Remember when every game we were schellacked and helle bailed us out… but Maurice said the shots were from the perimeter and it was the game plan…

 

[gojetsgo]

except we actually had a bunch of shots from in front of the net tonight...

 

[kanadalainen]

Shesterkin is an extremely good goal tender, and he's at the peak of his game.

are you saying that was gallants game plan? because if so they really failed at that considering we got a bunch of shots from in front of the net..

True.

For the first time this season we actually put a body in front of the net.

Too little, too late.

 

[macmaroon]

Hellesuck rocking an .818 save percentage.

 

[TheHead]

Can’t wait for the post game excuses….

 

[kanadalainen]

Helly's post game interview was uncomfortable - kindest way to describe it.

 

[DannyGallivan]

Hellebuyck may be the NHL’s biggest disappointment this season.

 

[bustamente]

It's quite possible that Bucky peaked in his Vezina year and may never get back to that level

He's been at that level for 3 years. This is a bad year. He needs to play less.

 

[WolfHouse]

I thought they were pretty good? Except Hellebuyck had a couple rough moments and PP1 is no good.

I watched the first two periods and could not identify any system at all - I think guys were trying but we are not playing zone or man or overload - it’s individual hockey like high school

this has to be on wheeler or Scheif or the coaches - but the longer it carries on the more this window closes

country club article was 100% right four years ago… and it’s still here - this is truly a Winnipeg team

Its possible, but I think something is out of sorts for him... he looks off. I think (hope actually) that its just a simple problem of too much ice time. He needs way more games off for a while. His puck handling is always shakey but now its actually poor... with a few exceptions.

Worse than grubauer lol.? Vezina finalist last year and is 888 sv%. But yeah Helle has not been playing at his lofty standard for sure.

October is so far away

First the system was Maurice’s problem, once’s he was gone you talked up how you like Lowry’s system, now that system isn’t working so it’s Scheifele/Wheelers fault for not being the coach?

are you seriously saying our terrible system could be because of wheeler or scheifele? come on.... the hate for those two is getting out of control around here...

wait did that poster say he liked lowry's system? does he not realize that we kept maurice's system...

 

[WolfHouse]

Calm down already - I am saying if we used it as an excuse why can’t New York

maybe it is the game plan - we had slot chances but mostly perimeter when you look at it

what matters is that our shot chances on the PP are all perimeter except ehlers - Lowry did not institute a system and we are still flailing

Helly is definitely off. Too many games? Long haul covid? First time father? Lots of possibilities.

Lowry had a system until wheeler came back -
Now it’s chaos…

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I knew we were going to lose that.

I think Lowry might be growing into a coach, but I think he's not quite ready to be an NHL head coach.

 

[gojetsgo]

no he didn't he literally said he was keeping the same system that maurice was using with some tweaks when he first took the job...

Doesn’t matter, anytime the Jets lose, the same narratives come out regardless. Facts are irrelevant, preconceived bias’s are confirmed.

3 reasons they lost
Defensive breakdowns
Goaltending
PP

The Jets PP is feast or famine. Much like the rest of the team, zero consistency.
