Post-Game Talk: Black and Blue Friday in Sunrise. Jets win 3-0

[KingBogo]

I really like these jacket awards. Seems to help cement the team as there seems to be an effort to be very inclusive to all contributions.

I honestly think it was addition by subtraction, for starters. We've seen the impact to a certain extent of the 3 new players, with much more to see from them but the two distractions being gone IMO, is the biggest net positive. The Neiderreiter and Namestnikov acquisitions which were both kind of under the radar signings but the type that Chevy makes have proved a boon to solidifying the forward depth on this team.

We basically got 5 new nhl tier players after years of having AHL tweeners

That plus the chemistry this team has is just special to see right now

Makes a huge difference - having Nino, Iafallo, Names, Kupari and Vilardi instead of lines like GST of old makes a massive difference in depth

I can’t wait to see this team when Vilardi and Kupari are back in

Just imagine if Heinola never got injured

Jets should sell the jackets

TNSE should sell the jackets. Imagine a white out with white versions of them! lol. It would be so sick.

 

[snowkiddin]

Helle yeah!

Fun game.

 

[GNP]

We've never really seen what the "centerpiece" of the Dubois trade can do, being Villardi. What a great deal for the Jets. No way Dubois will even score half the points these 3 LA guys will produce. Great trade, and got rid of a headache at the same time.

I am sure the NHL would block as it might offend players of the other teams too much

I was trying to think of the worst jet. Couldn’t.

Not one bad play all game except hand on puck at face off.

I know right, even Gus got in the way of ppl trying to play hockey for money, he could give a 5 year old a run for his money when your trying to clean the house right?

 

[bustamente]

Brenden Dillon was a GTD tonight, supposedly lower body issues. He should be a GTD every game, played well defensively took a couple of chances offensively and destroyed a Panther.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

3 way tie for 1st in the Central.

This is who we thought the Jets were … so glad the critics are crickets now.
Ehlers and the boys must have had a great time fishing yesterday … it showed they came to play tonight.
Speaking of Ehlers that’s the prettiest goal of the NHL season so far … wow.
This is what team chemistry looks like … no passengers everybody plays for each other.

The real losers are the T O sports media and I love it.

 

[DharmaBum]

For you bloodthirsty animals, the Dillon vs Reinhart fight

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

First place losers.

I really like the game of Namestikov. According to the radio broadcast he has 7 points, in his last 7 games, and in the plus, minus category he is + 12 ( great) This guy is underrated, covers a lot of ice quickly, and is a great playmaker. For the $ 2million we pay him , you can't find a better deal than that, on a great 2 way forward. I'm a fan.

he's a keeper and he's getting recognition , better not get all brandon tanev on us, i want him in a few runs

 

[Hunter368]

Classy move by a classy guy like Lowry

 

[johnnyonthspot]

We need to find a way to keep both Dillon's. Brendan Dillon brings something to the team nobody else has and I think we would miss it. A lot.

I agree. Big Dill is all effort all game, every game. I hope he keeps up this level of play for dare I say the playo.....

i'd be gud trading H for sum edm draft picks at this point, don't rock the sh... bus

True captain

 

[Do or Die]

Him and Nino truck up and down the ice, every nite...

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

we can ship them to edm in their lost and found... then they can sell raffle tickets for them

 

[bustamente]

Joshua would of made a great captain but Lowry is the captain that this team needed and he keeps on proving it.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Brenden Dillon was a GTD tonight, supposedly lower body issues. He should be a GTD every game, played well defensively took a couple of chances offensively and destroyed a Panther.

he only needed his upper body tonight, pound pound pound

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Something has clicked with this team. They have a whole new mindset. They don't fade, and they don't back down and they just keep pushing. I long way to go, but we are seeing what they can be.

Addition by subtraction even Scheif made a couple nice backchecks

I feel inspired to write a Black Friday "Quick Thoughts" post...

81-55-9 - Worked hard, though Connor didn't have as much jump as he's had recently. Got bogged down and stuck in their zone in the 2nd and 3rd. Not their best game, but nothing disastrous.

62-17-22 Another great game for this line. Appleton is a real beauty - works his tail off all over the ice, has good speed and size, and he's a very smart player with good timing on his passes. Now that he's gotten a lot more NHL experience, he's making consistently good reads and plays. Nino was a bull and goes to the blue paint. Lowry having his best season, yet. Really impressed by his speed and puck-handling for a player of his size and role.

91-7-91 The Fly is heating up. He was all over that game. He's a one-man zone exit machine, and his dynamic speed and agility with the puck just demolishes opponents' systems. Maybe the goal of the season. Namestnikov was solid again. He's basically a quick pitbull, and he makes very few mistakes with the puck. Perfetti is finding ways to have an impact in every type of game. He makes a lot of deft plays with the puck.

36-19-71 Very strong game for the 4th line. They have really started to get their game together. Gus is using his size to drive the puck, Barron is good with puck possession, and AJF flies around putting pressure on opponents.

44-2 Morrissey is a wizard with the puck, and underrated defensively. He and DeMelo still get themselves into a bit of trouble with high-risk passes. DeMelo needs to try to stop taking leg/tripping penalties at his line.

5-4 The Pionk revival tour continued in south Florida. Playing aggressively, but without as many mistakes. Starting to use his feet and puck-handling to generate transition and offense. Dillon was more settled, and seems to be getting his game back after an uneven start to the season. Reinhart really needs to pick his battles more carefully.

54-88 Monster game for Samberg again. He is so good at snuffing out rushes and cycles with a great defensive stick and mobility. He was the initiator of Ehlers' goal with a great defensive play in the corner, to start the rush. Schmidt has quietly found his game. He still lacks high-end agility, but he's making smart reads.

Hellebuyck with a really solid game. If the Jets get that kind of goaltending, they are going to be a tough out.

 

[Buffdog]

I'm equally excited and nervous about re-integrating Vilardi into this lineup
