Post-Game Talk: Wild Defend "Their Ice" In Game 3 - Jets Lose 6-2

[bustamente]

Couple of PP goals sure would of been nice in the 2nd didn't happen, the one fault Maurice does have is in game corrections he seems to stick with the game plan come hell or high water.

 

[sipowicz]

Maybe we get Perreault back and replace Armia!

Helly was weak.

And for whatever reason team was disinterested! Not enough character guys! Wouldn’t surprise me if Gramps draws in!

 

[Board Bard]

Totally intentional hit on the knee. Just stupid and I don't know how SN is that freaking blind

They're not blind, just incredibly stupid.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Coach didn't prepare them, or the lack of playoff experience on display - maybe a bit of both. You beat em bad at home so you figure you can toss your sticks on the ice and chalk up a win? Every game will be a battle.

The good news is Helle is not as bad as today, and it's only one loss - put it in the rear view mirror. But game 4 is huge now. We need to play it like a game 7. Myers health also becomes a big factor and evens these two teams out a lot if his injury keeps him out. Fingers crossed he is ok.

Go Jets Goi!

 

[snowkiddin]

So was last game when we decided to give them life at end.

Yeah, like I said I would’ve preferred they got more physical and took cheap shots like the Wild did last game.

 

[libertarian]

I wonder if this beat down the Jets just got will be a blessing in disguises? They basically had their way with the Wild in the first 2 games and this is a reminder that they need to play at their best at all times to beat a Wild team that had 101 points in the regular season. The Wild now know they can play against the Jets and succeed and their confidence will be sky high next game. It will be up to the Jets to remind them that there is a reason they finished with the second best record in the league.

I wish they would do what they were good at all year and just play hockey. could care less how many hits they have and how much they run around trying to make hits.

Yeah me too. Those Jets were MIA this game.

 

[Jetster231]

This stings less than losing this game 4-3 in overtime. You can basically just wash this game.

We outshot Minnesota in a 6-2 loss lol

 

[robertocarlos]

Foligno should have to answer the question about what looks like a deliberate punch to the knee on Myers.

It's the playoffs. You won't win 16 straight, adversity happens and ain't nothing wrong with that.

 

[cbcwpg]

If before the playoffs started people were asked if after 3 games they would be OK or not with the Jets being up 2-1 in the series , I think most would be happy with that.

All is still good.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Well, there were certainly aspects of that game that could have gone better...


For instance, all of them.


I got a kick out of the sportsnet guy repeatedly suggesting foligno was just attempting to block a shot when he took Myers down. Wtf was he talking about?

 

[tntkid]

The Jets should have gooned it up just like Minnesota did in the game 2 when they were losing.

Paul Romanuk should also shut up about the Wild not having Suter.
How many f***ing times does this parrot have to repeat this.
Who cares.

I don't think that (the punch) was deliberate but I don't understand "finishing the check" in that situation below the waist on a player. That's dirty as hell and not a hockey play. Foligno is clearly out there to run around, barely touched the puck all night, even when the Jets handed it to him. Think the early headshot on Trouba was worse than the Myers contact.

 

[Guffman]

Sorry, but there’s probably more interesting things to talk about than complaining that the announcers didn’t give Jets fans a back massage.

 

[Jetster231]

Tyler Myers was seen walking after the game, very good sign

My exact thoughts lol, hope the jets show up next game though

 

[Guardian17]

Foligno clearly punches Myers in the back of the knee.

The contempt that Sportnet has for the Jets is palpable.

Unlike the Wild at the end of Game 2, we did not put out our goons in the last minute to pick on the Wild's smaller players.

[Jetster231]

Love the players post game comments. They know they didn't have it tonight. They will bounce back.


Ehlers "We know what we need to do"

The way this game went for us, all a goon show would have accomplished would have been to get one of our guys injured...

By whom and where?

 

[Jetster231]

By whom and where?

Ken Wiebe tweeted it out

 

[None]

The grab on Myers' arm is understandable for someone falling, but throwing your arm above your head with your fist closed, right on the leg of Myers? Who reaches above their head when they're falling to the ground?

Edit: Also Rogers is tone deaf on fan response, I doubt they'd have fired Strombo after one season if they weren't bleeding money. They had to make cuts after overpaying for the NHL's Canadian broadcast rights. Strombo was an expensive attempt at drawing in the type of person who isn't going to watch every game anyways.
This is the same corporation that put up a statue of their dead founder during the Blue Jays miserable 2013 season outside the Rogers Centre, while there were questions about whether Rogers would be willing to fork out the cash for players that many felt had already taken discounts.

Not in this game.
