Post-Game Talk: Avs 6 - Jets 3, Avs win Series 4-1

[CorgisPer60]

That was re:Bowness, right; not Lauer?

I think the media did say that Lauer was Chevy's hire on the coaching staff though.

For Bowness, yeah. Lauer was hired before Bowness was.

 

[bustamente]

Lets face it Bones was not the Jets first, second or even third choice, he got the job by default and while the regular season was pretty good it mean shit all when you go out so meekly in the playoffs yet again. He also made some lineup and roster decisions that were head scratchers.

 

[surixon]

Yep. I wanted Montgomery or Cassidy. Instead we got Diet Barry Trotz. Get ready for Arniel and Carlyle.

Cassidy was my top pick as well.

Man, I did not see that coming after game one! My thinking was: 'The Jets had their 1 crappy defensive game (and still won) -- now they're going to lock it down and Colorado's in tough.' I was wrong.

I watched only part of game two, so my question is what exactly caused the bed-shatting for Winnipeg's defense?:
-- the goalie
-- the skaters' lack of defensive commitment
-- the coaches' strategy
?

Costly penalties. Repeated, costly penalties. Over and over.

Bednar made adjustments and the Jets couldn't match. Almost like a coach that won the cup with his core knows how to win still.

f***ing Bowmess.

 

[JetsFan815]

Yeah, I had a hard time with the direction of this group the back half. Never was able to fully get back on the wagon.

Yeah in a way it took the sting out of this defeat. On the other hand feel sorry for the true believers, know from experience that that's gonna sting for a bit them.

 

[jungles]

That third period sucked. From the 300 level you could really see how bad our outlet passes were, and how little chase we had to our dump.

Oh well.

 

[Orrrules]

The defence is definitely a big problem, when Miller looks that good compared to the rest you are in trouble. Need some physical wingers in the top 6 who can bang and crash. That's all I got, over and out.

 

[tbcwpg]

Yep. I wanted Montgomery or Cassidy. Instead we got Diet Barry Trotz. Get ready for Arniel and Carlyle.

Barry Trotz strung the team along so he wouldn't lose face at home for saying no too quick, and they lost the chance to get Montgomery or Cassidy, though if I was being honest with myself I think those guys hold out for the Dallas and Vegas jobs anyway.

f***ing Bowmess.

Yup the only playoff run Bones has ever had came using Montgomery's systems after he took over halfway through the year.

 

[MarkWheeler]

What’s Claude Noel doing these days? Might as well bring him back too! The trifecta of mediocrity

The Trouba trade is looking pretty bad right now too. He's the captain of the President's Trophy winning team that swept the Caps. We got a guy who scored on his own net, and another guy who isn't on the main roster.

 

[winnipegger]

We will almost certainly get a new coach. John Cooper please.

Jets were soundly outplayed by the Avs in all 5 games. Hellebuyck had one of the worst 5 game stretches of his career if not the worst. There is not one thing to blame here, it was obvious who the better team was. I'm ready to give this roster another shot (with an upgrade at D) with a new coach. Jets need better puck movement and speed on the back end.

Trouba was always the much better player. Pionk is just unfortunately who he is, a third pairing dmen that can score points but can't move the puck.

We got hamstrung by circumstance on the Trouba trade.

 

[bustamente]

I really don't want to hear of any locker room disfunction coming out of the exit meetings this year

Hopefully Ville can come in and be the dmen we all thought Pionk would be after his first two years here.

 

[JetsFan815]

I feel like you hated the PLD stretch from January on last year more than this season, but yeah, the now typical post ASG swoon is getting tiring to watch.

I think last year PLD's play was easy to compartmentalize as it was just one guy playing uninspired hockey and last season by the deadline basically everyone including Chevy agreed that Jets were not contenders so less frustration. This time though since the decisions were coming up from those truly in charge, it made it difficult to compartmentalize the stink but I grant you that it could just be recency bias.

 

[gojetsgo]

bones was asked if he will be back and he said the playoffs just ended we will figure it out

 

[surixon]

Seems like this group is pretty tight.

 

[raideralex99]

Crazy night … 4 teams facing elimination.
The ones that kept the score down with close checking won 2-1 Leafs and Preds.
The ones that played wide open hockey lost 6-3
Jets and Isles.

 

[RockLobster]

I mean this with the utmost sincerity:

Good series, don’t hate the Jets like I do StL or Vegas.

Lowry is a goddamned beast and a hell of a shutdown C. Morrissey is so f***ing smooth.

I’ll leave you now in peace.

I actually think the locker room isn't an issue.

Cooper would be a dream, but he still has a year left on his deal and likely going nowhere.

bones just said during the postgame multiple times that they are a tight group
