Post-Game Talk: Jets 1 - Sharks 0

[LowLefty]

I'm guessing he didn't like some of those nz turnovers by Fly that resulted in the puck going back the other way.

Yikes - I missed those - too much time posting.
yeah, that'll get you in trouble with a d first coach

 

[kanadalainen]

Was expecting a complete blowout against a pitiful sharks team missing two of their best fwds. Could watch the first bc of knee rehab.....so am a bit surprised by the final lol but a win is a win.

What's the cliff notes on the benching or demotions that I'm reading on X of ehlers, vilardi and perfetti? How's Iafallo the one who got promoted?

Bones is rage managing his lines.

There was 1 turnover that resulted in a scoring chance but it was on Connor for intercepting a cross-ice pass intended for 55 and then not being able to corral the puck which resulted in the scoring chance where 55 saved a goal with his knee.

 

[LowLefty]

I mean, it was a truly unfortunate pass.

It was - can't defend it.

 

[bustamente]

3/5 Stickmen tonight, that might be the easiest bagel Helle has earned, lots of shots on net result 1 goal, Scheifele had a very good game , Stanley played well, Barron got the only goal. 2 points the only really good thing about tonight and the battle continues in the Central

 

[Romang67]

What the hell, guys? I thought I told you to score many goals?

 

[KingBogo]

I'm guessing you are right. In a tight game in the 3rd Bones is looking for straight lines and minimal risks.

They didn't result in scoring chances, but I remember a couple of times he winded it up and made a diagonal pass at the blue line that was intercepted. That's really all I can think of for the demotion.

Agreed.

Wonder if Chevy uses any of his prospect ammo to try to trade for a scorer, team could use one

This is the problem I thought they had finally figured out: their main offensive drivers all step producing points and it happens simultaneously. Fortunately their defensive game remains sound and Helly is godlike.

 

[bustamente]

Nik likes to free wheel sometimes it bites him in the ass and in a close game in a game that you can't afford to lose Bones made a move that some might not like but sometimes needs to be made

 

[JetsFan815]

A quick look at the Evolving Wild data seems like this is 3rd most xGoals they have generated in a game at 5v5 in franchise history lol. Only 1 real goal to show for it.

I don't know. Would be really outside of his typical moves. How many prospects has he dealt for Nhl player trades over the years? monahan and s supposed to be that esp. with a first going out the door.

 

[LowLefty]

One thing I'd like to see more of is a few of the guys crashing the net - it's almost like apposing goaltenders are feeling a bit too at ease against this team.
Way to many stand on your head performances -
Maybe I'm reaching a bit on this take - I'm running out of excuses.

 

[DRW204]

Bones is rage managing his lines.

But Iafallo really? Last time he scored I had two working knees

 

[jokesondee]

Bowness needs to reunite the Ehlers/Scheifele/Vilardi line asap. It carried us for months. Somehow Connor coming back has absolutely torpedoed our offense. Give Perfetti/Monahan/Connor a try. Gotta start scoring. Youve got the Colorado, Dallas, Edmontons of the world pumping in 5, 6, 8 goals against much better teams than San Jose. Its going to take more than 1 goal to beat Vancouver on saturday. Could get ugly.

 

[KingBogo]

I'm not too worried about a cold streak scoring especially if we are getting our chances. The goals will eventually come. Bones has this team playing a very structured game that can withstand a period when the goals dry up. Much better than past versions of this team where offensive struggles were met with cheating for offensive and high risk seam passes that lead to an implosion. I just hope the team tunes out the noise and keeps playing the same way, trusting the offense will eventually come back.

I think we all are, there is talent on this team, goal scoring talent yet here we are barely scoring and winning by the skin of our teeth, it's like ever night is a playoff game

Perfetti and Villardi took a regular shift right until the last two minutes. That last shift they put Mony with Vlad and Barron. That wasn’t a benching it was them missing one shift.

Fly on the other hand was demoted to the 4th line early in the third and did miss a couple shifts as well and Iaffallo took his spot with 55 and 81

 

[LowLefty]

I think it was more about Ehlers than Iafallo - although I missed the issues that got Elhers in hot water.
But you would think they'd make that move between 13 and 27 - as I said earlier, strange.

 

[Aphid]

I spent most of the game not paying attention to it. I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 mostly.

Didn't miss much. Winnipeg's offence was almost as good as the offensive output of a druid that wild shaped in to a cat.

 

[macmaroon]

The Jets can't score, but at least they are back to winning, which is good. Hellebuyck with the shutout! Winnipeg had their chances tonight and their defensive play was pretty good too! I give this game five "Keeping Up Appearances" out of five...

The Prediction Contest has been posted for the game against the Vancouver Canucks, so get your guesses in now! A big thank you to @The Blue Baron who will be making the GDT for Saturday's game, we are all looking forward to seeing it posted! See you then! Good night and Happy Valentine's Day to you all...

Murat just asked Bowness about it and he said "it wasn't the 3rd it was what led up to the 3rd" with a bemused look on his face. Definitely about reducing Ehlers ice time and how better than putting him on the 4th.

Bones loves low scoring games. That is what he preaches.

 

[Inanna]

I should unclench about midnight. Sure it’s always good to get two points but a 1-0 win against a team as lowly as the Sharks? Kind of embarrassing almost.

Still no power play, still no 5v5 scoring touch.
