Post-Game Talk: Jets 2 - Hawks 1 Wow

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Ya @Jet posted this yesterday, very interesting.

I see such great Youtube content on tactics/Interesting game quirks from the NFL, NBA, Even MLB and Soccer - but basically nothing for hockey.

 

[Jets 31]

Makes you wonder if Ehlers did some Olympic level speed skating in Denmark..

Speaking of.

[ERYX]

Ewwww. That’s not a good sign for 55 returning soon.

Not necessarily. AJF also didn't practice so maybe Kupari will be in for him?

 

[Jets 31]

WTF is going on here ? Too funny.

 

[ps241]

God that was loud! Love that view of the crowd exploding.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Keep on posting good news like this and I will actively resist the urge to disparage you.

 

[roccerfeller]

Speaking of.

Oh those poor sad hawk fans behind the bench

I feel so much empathy for them.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

I feel like the entirety of a PP with him on it should be pucks or passes on net with Vilardi there, everytime. It's not like the passes outside have impressed much .

Need a timer to determine what % of PP time has a man in front. Maybe 30%

Perhaps HF jets board could create a nightly award for net presence ?

 

[ThinIce61]

Anyone else get the goosey bumps watching the videos of Ehlers goal?

 

[TheDeuce]

I mean if you were the owner why would you allow the GM to spend roughly $27 million to buy a player out. That would be a fireable offense to me.

To save $32,000,000 - that’s the whole point. Obviously the GM would need ownership approval though.

Kings board seems to think Ehlers is needed for PLD.

 

[Fatdrunk]

Not a Leafs fan.

The last time I was on a Leafs GDT resulted in Myself being run down, My City was run down and my team was run down. Now I don't care much about myself but what they said about my Team and City was an punch able offence in real life. To Top it off I was banned for 3 months for trolling

Ever since The Leafs and their fans can go straight to hell

But obviously, before the owner tried that, he would try firing the GM.

Your avatar is truly one of a kind. I salute you, sir.

The Jets have played the fewest games against teams currently sitting in a playoff spot (13 GP, with a 7-5-1 record = .577). I'd say that playing the Jets is somewhat detrimental to your chances of making the playoffs, but Vancouver has played the most games against teams sitting in a playoff spot (21, with a 15-5-1 record = .738).

Here are the records vs. current playoff teams of the Top 17 teams by points% (I couldn't include the Caps, who are garbage, and leave out the Pens, who are not...so Top 17). Sorted by points% vs playoff teams:

BOS: 14 GP, 9-2-3, .750
VAN: 21 GP, 15-5-1, .738
VGK: 19 GP, 12-5-2, .684
PIT: 18 GP, 9-5-4, .611
NYI: 18 GP, 8-5-5, .583
WPG: 13 GP, 7-5-1, .577
NYR: 14 GP, 8-6-0, .571
TOR: 15 GP, 6-4-5, .566
COL: 16 GP, 9-7-0, .562
FLA: 18 GP, 9-7-2, .555
CAR: 19 GP, 9-8-2, .526
PHI: 18 GP, 8-8-2, .500
DAL: 17 GP, 7-7-3, .500
WAS: 19 GP, 7-8-4, .474
LAK: 18 GP, 6-7-5, .472
EDM: 20 GP, 8-11-1, .425
NJD: 14 GP, 5-8-1, .393

Yeah the Jets have played a lot of crap teams this year so far, but they've still been pretty good vs. non-crap teams.

Pretty much every team in the central is gonna be playing weaker schedules - just how it is.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

The dreaded day to day. Does that mean he's out until the Playoffs?

.... Hey, maybe we can play the LTIR game like the other teams

 

[GeorgeJETson]

The buyout talk is based on a hypothetical scenario in which PLD keeps playing like he is now.

If it looks like this is who he is from here on out, a buyout has to be considered.

I assume at some point, he'll start playing better. Hopefully in the playoffs.

But so far he's been terrible. I can't stand watching him play. He makes watching the Kings so much less enjoyable. I've never seen a player consistently give such little effort.

FWIW, I hoped PLD would at least play the way we all know he can play for the Kings. So I was actually slightly disappointed he didn't (okay, I am guilty of cracking jokes about his play).

Most Kings fans I've interacted with have been pretty civil and quite knowledgeable about hockey. Kings fans deserve better than what PLD is showing. Hopefully things turn around.

Saw this in the Athletic quoting this guys twitter post

@JFreshHockey

At the midpoint of the season, the Canucks have a 105.2 PDO.This is the highest 41-game mark since the 1995-96 Pittsburgh Penguins and only the 5th time since 1980 that a team has put up a PDO that high at this point of the season.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

The buyout stuff is just fan talk. Any buyout is gonna be on the books till 2038 or something ridiculous, that doesn't happen. He'll be atleast a servicable 2C in the long run so LA brass will have more patience than the fans.

The contract has enough signing bonuses to be pretty hard to buy out for the first 3-4 years. Not buyout proof but buyout resistant.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Actually one of the posters on HFKings ran the numbers and put together a solid business case favouring the buyout - if it's done this season. Millions of dollars saved, but the buyout has to happen while PLD is 25 years old or some such:



If I'm the Kings CFO I would have to at least suggest, if not recommend the buyout.

FWIW I take no pleasure, literally zero schadenfreude, from watching what the HFKings posters are going through. They're a classy and knowledgeable bunch of hockey fans and deserve better than the quagmire this trade has put them in.

I don't like them enough to offer a takeback though...


m.

Yeah, just checked it out on CF. Because he is under 25 the ratio is 1/3 instead of 2/3. Could actually make sense.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I mean if you were the owner why would you allow the GM to spend roughly $27 million to buy a player out. That would be a fireable offense to me.

You don't spend money to buy out a player. The money is already spent. You buyout a player to cut your losses.

The fireable offense would be negotiating the contract in the first place. Or the trade that brought you the player.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

So here's a box score from the MJ tonight:



68 shots given up in a 60 minute game - I guess that's what happens when you trade away your 3 best Forwards and d man at the deadline like swan did.
