Post-Game Talk: F*** Vegas 6 Second place Jets 5

[RabidOne]

The line juggling was bizarre. It was tough to figure out what the point of it was. It seemed like players were benched and then they'd be out the next shift on another line and then back with their regular linemates on their next shift.

Lowry in particular was getting elevated to play in the top 6 every other shift in the middle of the game ahead of Perfetti, Dubois, or Connor. It wasn't for faceoffs either because most of it was on the fly changes.

Didn't Dubois miss the morning skate? Nagging minor injury? Under the weather?
Bones (not the star trek one) said something about some players playing hurt.

Bowness said the flu is running through the team right now, apparently some guys on Iv's .

I thought we stayed right with Vegas last night. Very entertaining game. Hopefully we get healthy soon.

 

[Hobble]

When both teams are healthy, I don’t think our chances would be that bad against Vegas in a seven games series. I’d expect Helle to be more likely to have 4 stellar games than 4 stinkers like tonight.

The Hellebucyk disrespect from that poster (and others) over the years has been puzzling.

I think you just have to point out the Goals saved above expected stat. Hellybuck if not at the top is always in the top 5 depending on which site or how its calculated. The guy wins the team way more games than he loses.

He kept a certain coach gainfully employed for many years past the best before date.

Sure, we may have had a bug running through the room but the Golden Showers were down their top 3 D and Eichel.

Let's not pretend they were healthy and we weren't and that's why we lost

I hate to say it, but Helle was just good last night. He needs to be superhuman for us to win games like that

This is something I’ve noticed (line combos). I know they use alternate combos coming out of special team situations or make changes if they are losing or protecting a late lead etc.

but lately I’ve seen a lot of juggling that makes you think someone is injured or benched but then you see them again. At times it’s just line changes that aren’t completed and an offensive or defensive situation forces players to stay out longer.

That last second goal in the first really bit is in the ass along with other blunders.

They did play well sporadically through the game. Too bad we weren’t our stingy self. 5 goals should be enough to win.

Turned out it was none of those things, my comment was made before Bowness had done his postgame. Some players were sick and missing shifts to rest, not much else to it. I'm guessing that Lowry was the healthiest benefactor and that's just why he was out in so many situations where he otherwise wouldn't have been.

Their top 3 defencemen like Whitecloud who was minus 2 in the 2 previous games with the Jets.
Vegas needed 2 PPs to win the game ...enough said.
I don't understand people ... Jets could have a 80 game win season but the 4 games they lost would be the biggest factor.

I was thinking more about Pietrangelo and Theodore

I'm not sure if you're referring to me with the second part of your post. I've been as optomistic about the Jets this season as anyone on here. I just don't think we can blame that game on a depleted roster. There's still some work to do before I'd consider us legit cup contenders

I’ve noticed similar odd combos throughout many games this year not just this week.

Let’s not pretend we were completely outmatched during the game. Were we a few key saves by Helle away from a win? Sure. Were we one or two bad penalties away from winning? Also sure. Sometimes she goes, and sometimes she doesn’t. Last game, she didn’t go.

No it wasn't directed at you ... just reading comments on this board when the Jets lose is funny.
Jets are a playoff teams and anything can happens in the playoffs ... its not doom and gloom.

Hey, White Out was right there with me on the "Pavelec Sucks and has to go!" bandwagon back in the early days. But I guess he's just very skeptical about goalies in general...

Whiteout has wanted to fire everyone for sometime
