Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Avs 2

[Mud Turtle]

Excellent effort by everyone. It was a great team win.
Shxeuge is a man on a mission this year after being MIA the last few years. Great to see!

 

[kanadalainen]

Awesome! Thanks for keeping me abreast!

Thanks for good luck charming us.

 

[Aggie204]

Yeti’s are better

 

[KingBogo]

That was a really nice road victory against a really good team. The top line was dominant in both ends. We have also become very stingy on defense.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Full team win. No panic to their game at all, that's how you close out a win against a great team. It occurred to me this game that Helly no longer makes me sweat when he plays the puck. This year's Scheif Connor Ehlers is the most skilled top line we've ever had.

 

[AlphaLackey]

How many dmen in the league wouldn't look bad on that?

As reasonable and as well-argued as your point is, that doesn't change the reality that Stanley is the 8th best D man on this team, and will be 9th once Heinola is healthy. We shouldn't let a good result cloud us about this fact that Stanley is a bust's bust and we should be praying for the day when we not only get an asset for him, but we prevent Bowness's Jurassic Park era coaching from playing him in any non-preseason game.

He really has improved from "handles it like a live grenade" to "handles it like an almost-certainly-defused grenade", which is a big plus

Doubt chis would have been able to do anything on that play, so I’d say 7th till chis does something.

Great game except for maybe…

 

[LowLefty]

Very nice game by the Jets -
The team kept their composure against a team that can have you running in circles
We kept most of it to the outside in our end and moved the puck out well considering.
Our top line was playing solid D tonight - really nice to see that group defending and creating a ton of offense.
Blueline was good considering the high power offense they had to defend against

Helle solid as a rock - actually made it look easy -
Rick manages the lines well tonight - and helped the guys stay composed - no panic.

 

[bustamente]

4/5 Stickmen tonight, you go into Denver and win that's what you get, KFC pots 2, Helle strong in net , pk the difference, Gus Bus with a great game, top line really good. Not let up and this could be a really good trip.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Win or lose, that was just a great game to watch. Colorado is a handful.

 

[RabidOne]

Stat watching, Jets with fewest goals allowed in the Central, 3rd in the West.
Currently Arizona in the first Wild card spot.

I'm not advocating for Stanley... I'm just saying that a world class player with world class speed took a pass in stride and went around him in such a way that most dmen in the league would have been exposed.

If someone wants to point to a play to underscore Stanley's ineptitude, they oughtta use a different one

Yep. Stanley is slow, but McKinnon would do that to any Jet defender.

 

[kanadalainen]

Helly rocking a .941 this game.

 

[bustamente]

KFC, 17 goals 1 back of Boeser

Who's trying to change reality?
I think the fact that Stan is a PB player is no secret where everyone needs to be reminded in a PGT after the team just played one of the best games I have watched them play.
You're even taking shots at the coach after this win
Bad day??

Missed most of the third period as I just couldn't stay awake (I tried). Nice effort from the Jets, beating a solid Avalanche team in an away game! I give this match four bigfoots out of five...

The Prediction Contest has been posted for the game against the Anaheim Ducks, so you can start to get your guesses in. Don't forget to sign up for a GDT, there are plenty of games available, so please help @macmaroon out by staking your claim on one...

See you guys on Sunday! Good night...

...more like the second one for me...

Is that a Stanley rookie card?

 

[Do or Die]

These are the kind of games......a team needs to win, if they are going to go somewhere.....

 

[bustamente]

This team is not last years team I expect no new year swoon. All around this team is better and as long as they get goaltending will be competitive though out the season.

 

[kylbaz]

Win or lose, that was just a great game to watch. Colorado is a handful.

Said the same at the end of the first before Lowry scored. What a fun game to watch and kept it up all three periods.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

The effort level of the first line is amazing right now. All three of them were battling hard along the boards tonight

The second last shift for that line was out of this world!

 

[bustamente]

Some were talking in the GDT about all the empty seats in the first period, the game was 100% sold out, so the Jets do in fact pack them in on the road .

 

[Mud Turtle]

I give this game 4 red Swinglines out of five.
