Post-Game Talk: Cam the Jet Slayer - 2:1 Oilers

[Atoyot]

I wonder if Perreault's injured. Noticed Armia took a faceoff when Burmi was thrown out and he's only taken 1 faceoff in the past 5 games and none in the past 3.

He is. Hand or wrist.

The bolded part is ****ing stupid. Quit announcing your affiliation when you post - it matters not one bit to the content of your post.

Jets are down 3 top 6 forwards (Little, Ladd, Ehlers), so that's a lot of scoring gone. No, Dano is not a Ladd replacement.

The problem here is complaining about not having a complete roster to justify the loss while discrediting the other team for having even bigger issues regarding an incomplete roster. Oilers are icing an AHL quality defence because of injuries.

I would have commented on how their injury woes on D have been going on for 7 years now.

If I were immature enough to bite on something like that. Which I'm not.

I am immature enough to say McDavid sucks because he can't even score on Pavelec.

Wow hfjets is not friendly to visitors. *laugh*

 

[winnipegger]

Scheifele looks good, he's about the only reason I'm paying attention at this point

 

[ATLbound]

I'm ready to move on from him Hamonic or not. I would rather not have Myers on the Jets. I don't think we'll ever win with him.

I think saying we can't win with him is a little bit much. We wouldn't be a good team with him in the top pair. But #3/4 is fine. I think there is a lot of guys in our lineup right now we can't win with them having spots.... I wouldn't get rid of him unless we are fixing an issue. Either replace him for a LHD. Or a proven top 9 winger. Have to be careful. If we deal one of Trouba, Enstrom, Myers who plays top 4. We will never win with Stuart, Chairot, Postma playing top 4. Same goes for Morrissey for at least a couple more years.

 

[garret9]

lol myers is so much better than hamonic its not even funny

 

[ATLbound]

Agreed. Him, Wheeler, Perreault, Stafford are the only guys up front producing scoring chances. Armia a bit too I suppose. But Wheeler, Perreault, Stafford seem to have shut it down. Not that they arn't trying, I have liked all of there effort, just overall. Watching those 3, they just look like guys still trying, but vets playing meaningless hockey.

 

[portamoral]

what you laughing about bruh. its facts

 

[Bob E]

what you laughing about bruh. its facts

Would take Hamonic 10 out of 10 times over Myers. And it's not really close for me.

 

[Atoyot]

what you laughing about bruh. its facts

Seems that you have a poor understanding of what a fact is.

 

[Avenger*]

... Well, that's too easy.

Or focus on the subjective reason for the poor defence... Regardless, the Jets still lost to it.

The point being that this was one incomplete team vs another even more incomplete team. What is the real excuse?

 

[Snot Rocket]

Incredibly messy/boring game.

Scheifele the only one that caught my eye on the Jets in a good way.

Pavelec flopping like a fish as usual.

NEXT

Wow, what are you excepting?
Pavs made a lot of good saves...and really did alright ...though perhaps you like to have him pull a flemish giant from his backside? Pavs ain't the best goalie but call a spade a spade.
I'm all for calling a guy out for playing like crap but this Pavs whipping boy seriously screams of not enough cuddle time from mom.

Eh, I doubt you're going to find many people here that are too upset about losing that game. I'd say the Jets were the better team and win that game 80% of the time, they just didn't today while on a back to back missing some very important players against a team that they're racing to the bottom. That's about as perfect as an outcome as I would have hoped for.

I generally focus on subjective things when discussing. It makes for a much more interesting discussion than one where I claim that the moon is made out of cheese.

While I do see what you're saying and willingly concede the point that there is no real excuse for losing to the Oilers, I still think my fellow HFJets posters would argue that Little, Ladd and Ehlers is a greater net loss than Klefbom and RNH.

Personally, I don't think one game is particularly telling of the rosters' abilities. Also, I think Talbot is better than Pavelec.

Pav was much better than he was against Montreal. He was lucky in that game and Montreal was really bad. He looked startled by every shot.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Scheifele strings together some really solid games: many are clamoring to sign him for 7+ mil per year.

Myers strings together a couple bad games: we'll never win with that bum on our team.

Yep, sounds about right.

 

[raideralex99]

Like someone mentioned before ... it feels like pre-season games.
How many scoring chances did the Jets only to have the wrong handed player unable to shoot ... looks like poor coaching to me.

Haha. I wasn't even comparing them to excuse the loss, bub. At this point, I'll take every loss the Jets can get. He came in here, waving his dangly bits about for whatever reason, so I told him about our top-6 problems. Every team is dealing with injuries at this point of the year.
