Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Blues 2

[KingBogo]

Perfetti was a positive factor tonight. Could have had 3 points tonight if Nino could have finished either time or Vlad scored on the breakaway created by the forecheck. Given 10 mins of ice that was a positive game

That was probably Perfetti's most impactful game in a while. He does need something to drop for him.

Ehlers, Morrissey, Bro, Names and Bettman were V good

Pretty weird we have perhaps the best goaltender in the league, and if we had to use our backup in the playoffs, I wouldn't totally freak out.

 

[WpgSteve]

I like Perfetti on the 4th. He looks good there. 2nd looks good without him. It's a win win.

Appleton sucks. Would like to see an upgrade there. That 3rd line needs to be a threat to score.

 

[robertocarlos]

TSN with the excellent post game stuff. You don't see this on SN. Bettmen being here has been good.

 

[bustamente]

I think all four lines as constructed contribute in their own way to the overall success on the ice, first place don't lie

Being able to rest Helly down the stretch will be huge for us. I'd expect the rest of the season to play out at a 2-1 ratio.

Natural stat trick is glitching for me, so I’m not able to check the xG% to see if I can be happy about this win or not…

Uh oh, it’s back….
Jets at 49.85% xG.

Very disappointing.

Just my appreciation for stats, as an old eye test guy, but it’s been said..

what they reveal is suggestive..but what they conceal is vital..”
(Not necessarily St.Vital in this weather..)

No issues with that it's working, I think as a tandem they still have the best save %

He looks like an Elf On The Shelf

I am very curious just how long a defensive minded coach like Bones will be able to stomach the top lines play in its end. As a line they are sporting a terrible 35 XGF% and are getting out high dangered chanced by a 2 to 1 margin. They won't continue to convert on 14% of their shots. As is they are barely scraping by in the goal differential department, currently 1 over break even.

 

[Weezeric]

I would love to see the Stars and Avs beat each other up in the first round.

Agreed. LB turned out to be a very shrewd signing by Chevy.

He fits better with Name then Sean as both he and Sean like to play the same offensive role. They could use a finisher with him and Name though and create three scoring lines and a checking line like 2018.

.947 tonight

Bones will stick with it as he needs Ehlers to carry the 2nd line. Lowry's line always stays untouched.

 

[Buffdog]

Missed the game

Did we win in acceptable fashion, or should I kick my dog?

 

[surixon]

I'm sure he will until it starts bleeding goals on him. I have to think it's eating him up inside though.

I read wish he'd be open to switching the Lowry line up a bit. It hasn't been that amazing since the first third of tye year. I'd like to see Nino and Barron switched for a game or two.

Hopefully this game was the start of his ascent out of his slump. Nino let him down tonight with those two grade A chances.

You have to account for Connor's defensive deficiencies in some way so you have a 1st line set up to out score the opposition. I don't think Lowry's line gets changed. Ehlers carries the secondary scoring. Not sure we see Bones do much of anything. If somehow Chevy can get a more complete top 6 winger maybe we see some switch ups.

Likely not as he's stubborn.

 

[JetsFan815]

Good game by most of the Jets other than the usual suspects who get lit up once again defensively and didn't generate much either. 2nd line was cooking as was the 4th, Perfetti and Namestnikov looked great again. 3rd line had a tough matchup and handled it well. Those 3 lines played such a hard game, battling for pucks and fighting for them in the tough areas.

I wouldn’t blame connor’s deficiencies for the whole problem. Schief’s was definitely not doing his job on the 2nd goal. Neither was Villardi. It’s not all bout Connor cutting off the pass.
