Post-Game Talk: "Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're My Only Hope." - Hawks 5 Jets 1

[bustamente]

Connor should publicly acknowledge Mo's lofty achievement!

No No No, Dano gave him something similar I think and look where that got him

 

[Adam da bomb]

Stick around you'll meet more people that think things are looking up.

Things are definitely looking up. Even if we limp into the playoffs that's something we haven't done in years. We are a young team and we won a bunch of games and have lost a lot of games and forget that winning is progress. We want it now, not have to wait.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Schief last 5 games: 0 goals, 1 assist, 1 point

top line not scoring = Jerts not winning

Scheifele is a shell of the player in the first 20 games. He was a beast then. Speedy, checking, passing etc. now he’s mostly coasting and hardly skating the last 10 games or so.

Lowry and Copp generated more offensive chances than the other lines.

then why not go connor lowry copp when trailing and need goals?

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

Some of the things that were discussed ways back and ignored due to being tied 1st overall seem to be troubling the Jets now. 1st line's extremely high PDO coming down with Helleybucks performance leveling off along with Scheifs and Connors high sh%. 2nd line still not clicking, 3rd line is still the same with defensive work and all that but won't help the jets with scoring and the 4th line being figured out especially when you have to distribute Perreault elsewhere at times. Also, Chiarot might be bad but he wasn't the reason that the jets were down 3-0 early. He's the fall guy because he's some AHL call-up who can be gotten rid off easy but it won't magicly solve the jets problems.

We got beat by a good veteran team...move on.
We play another good team Sat/Sun.
I am 1.000 at Jets 2.0 games and I am going to the Sunday game.

Focus on the game, not other posters please people.

Jets fall to 3-5-1 in games following 2 or more days off this season. Let's call it "The Maurice Effect" - the more time he has to coach them, the worse they play.

The Jets actually won the adjusted Corsi and the xGF tonight...but it was too little, too late, ultimately. Just their 2nd loss of the season when winning Corsica's xGF%.

	W	L	OT	GF	GA	Diff
adjCF% > 50	11	3	3	62	38	+24
xGF% > 50	12	2	1	55	26	+29
adjCF% < 50	7	6	2	46	53	-7
xGF% < 50	6	7	4	53	65	-12

I think I saw Laine below Chicago's goal line once, maybe twice tonight. Kid has to learn he's going to have to put his big boy pants on some nights and not wait for others to do the heavy lifting. Total fringe player tonight, again.

 

[Ducky10]

As much as I appreciate all the little things CLT do well, they remind me too much of running on a treadmill, just a fast track to nowhere offensively. Down 4 goals there was no need to send them out so often, and even less need to keep the line together.

But individually do any of them have great scoring ability I mean better than Hendricks. But...

I would love to see what Quenneville could do with our Jets.

We definitely got outcoached again.

I would love to see what any other coach could do with the Jets and compare it to what Mo does with the Jets it would be an interesting theoretical experiment

 

[Ducky10]

No but mixing in some of the other things they do well with others might develop some finish that the three of them don't seem to be able to do. I think Armia should have replaced Tanev after the 1st for example.

 

[Rookie109]

It's weird, Laine just doesn't seem to hustle that much when he skates most games. His effort simply isn't there, maybe he relies too heavily on his shot? Ehlers on the other hand, and usually Wheeler are always skating thier assess off. It would be nice to see Laine put more effort into his skating like he is capable of.

 

[Halberdier]

There are way too much odd man rushes against Scheifele & Wheeler. Against Chigago there were at least 2 of those that did lead goal against: 1-0 (?) and 5-1. More precisely the line combination for those was ESW, though Connor is not defensively sound for himself so I don't think that E vs. C made the difference.

What do you think Q did tonight that made the difference?

 

[JetsFan815]

I think this is time to try to build a scoring line around Lowry. Connor and Armia on the wings and see what happens. Always the option to go back to CLT if things don't work out. Lowry deserves the chance to prove that he can be more than just a shutdown checking Center. He has earned that opportunity with his play.

First of all I like it. I also think Hendricks deserves a game off. Like you been great, but you deserve a day off. So copp, dano and tanev. Alas Mo would never go for it.

Agreed

Agreed

Yes, I agree as well.

 

[Lowered Expectations]

I was @the Last Jedi last night and was supposed to watch the game too, but while i was watching the movie our younger kid had catch a fever and threw up on our bed. Luckily our babysitter got the situation under control but I decided to skip the game for some sleep. It seems that was a blessing in disguise! Jets had a real stinker, illness or something else? I hope this leads some serious blender but I don't hold my breath. If Laine was not ill I'm expecting "Hockey is hard right now" speech part III any time now.

 

[Weezeric]

There must be a lot of horrible teams in the NHL because there's only 5 teams with more points than the jets right now....

There are 7 teams with worse last-10 records.
