Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Canucks 2

[LucianoBorsato]

How do we sit a 20 (19) goal scorer for the playoffs?!

It's a good problem to have

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

We don't, but Bones has pretty much tipped his hand for what he prefers. But if Barron can't go then they pretty much have to play him. Putting Gus in over him would poison the well I think.

I think Gus gives us a better chance to win if the open slot is where Barron was on the 4th line

 

[raideralex99]

I heard there’s a shortage of crows in Winnipeg sources are saying sold out everywhere … what’s going on.

How so? The Perfetti, Name, and Iafallo line was one of the best lines we have run this year.

But yeah playing a vastly inferior player is always the way to win in this league....

 

[Buffdog]

The 2017/18 Jets went into the playoffs with a 9-1 record in the last 10 games of the season. This team is going in on an 8 game heater

Could be a good omen

 

[John Agar]

One last time to enable the Clutch.


Great win boys.

Speaking of Clutch...

Truly an eminence front...



P.S. ... so much for being FRAUDS...

The Lyrics to Emminence Front by The Who...

Describes the the Jets this year-to-date...

Wah... Lah:

The sun shines
People forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
People forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they're hiding
Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put-on
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put-on
An eminence front
Eminence front, put-on
Eminence front
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put-on
It's a put-on
It's a put-on
It's a put-on
Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill
Dress to kill
The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding
Behind an eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put-on
It's just an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put-on
An eminence front
An eminence front, put-on
Eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put-on
It's a put-on
It's a put-on
It's a put-on
Come and join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Dress yourself to kill



P.S. You have got to love how Pete Townshend trolls the GTA fans, saying... "You don't understand what I'm saying"... then he laughs... this is pretty much every night for Leafs fan every day of their lives...

Gus has also been feeling it down the stretch here, and is great on the dot. Bit bigger and stronger than cole too.

Both guys on that line would be great either way but I prefer Gus as option 1 in that role as things stand right now

 

[bustamente]

With Barron's injury Bones has some thinking to do about the line up.

 

[Gnova]

Finishing the season with less than 200 goals allowed is a great sign for playoff success.

 

[Hobble]

May we never forget that we can officially expect a team to go 52-24-6.

 

[JetsFan815]

We don't, but Bones has pretty much tipped his hand for what he prefers. But if Barron can't go then they pretty much have to play him. Putting Gus in over him would poison the well I think.

I believe Perfetti ended up 1 goal short of hitting one of his performance bonuses, tough not to blame that on the 2nd round of scratches. Bones is gonna retire next season or the one after, the organization has to look out for its future and put their thumb on the scale if necessary. Jeff Marek who seems to have a line to someone in the Perfetti camp hinted at issues with the handling again today. The org has to smooth the waters and being scratched over Gus won't be a good start to that.

 

[kanadalainen]

I think he will play sowhere along the line, its pretty hard to play the same line up for 20 games or more

did the JETS also got the highest ROW?

yup

 

[puck stoppa]

May we never forget that we can officially expect a team to go 52-24-6.

Did I read that right? 28 games over .500.
Like I said in 6/5 thread other day, who would’ve predicted this last spring. What an enjoyable season. Now let’s make a run fellas!

TO media: “Jets scratch Perfetti so he misses a performance bonus - signs of financial hardship?!?”

 

[Gil Fisher]

Well tonight was clear proof that Chevy has executed the "retool" perfectly. And just as I would have predicted a year ago.

Future is bright.

Management has been saying they are all in during every media availability this year, which unfortunately has come at the expense of Perfetti in the last month or two.

If we're all in I can't see Chevy forcing lineup decisions on bones at the most important junction of the season

 

[Atoyot]

I just finished the game.

Lambert had one shift full of panic and silly plays. Otherwise he was fantastic. His skating is well above average at the NHL level.

Chibrikov is a buzzsaw. He created his 1st goal entirely through grinding and speed.

Perfetti was the best player on the ice. Ehlers the second best.

Stanley had his worst game of the season. He was abysmal.

 

[Ponds]

The 2017/18 Jets went into the playoffs with a 9-1 record in the last 10 games of the season. This team is going in on an 8 game heater

Could be a good omen

There's just something about the Yotes packing up as well..

 

[Ggg99]

This just in. The Winnipeg Jets win the Jennings Trophy allowing the fewest goals in the 2023/24 season.

A huge accomplishment and tribute to team defense and the coach’s systems and ability to gain entire team buy-in to play his system.

And it helps to have the best goalie on the planet.

Damn impressive Jets!

Best defensive team in the league bodes well for the playoffs. Going to be amazing.

 

[ThinIce61]

I'll play..
- 8 wins in a row to end the season!
- Jennings trophy with 199 goals! This is amazing! A Winnipeg Jets team actually had the least amount of goals against in the league!
- 2nd in the West
- Chibrikov with his first NHL goal and the game winner.
- 4th in the entire league with the tie-breaker over Florida!
- 52 wins - tying a team tecord.
- most regular time wins in the league with 45

What else can we add? Lol

Likely Vezina for Helle.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Jets in SCF but cancelled due to WWIII, imo.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

What a great way to wind up the season!

The kids not only picked up points, they looked damn good doing it.

Too bad Brossoit didn't get into a couple of more games. But Jets win the Jennings Trophy. Who saw that coming in pre-season?

Onward and upward.

He could have had that bonus easily had he not gone those 23 games without a goal. I don't 100% agree with how Bones handled him this year but at some point, we have to stop blaming him for everything

Cole is a professional hockey player. The only person on the planet responsible for his performance is him.

If he's a mature kid, he'll take this season in stride and learn from it

 

[Mud Turtle]

There was SO much to like in this game.
The kids came to play, like we all knew they would.

Lambert was great right from the start of the game. He’s what I like to call a fast twitch player. Like Ehlers, every part of his body moves quickly all the time. His legs, shoulders, hips and hands. He’s going to be a great play driver for us. Just a remarkable game from him.

Chibrikov was also very good but I don’t think he dominated as much as Lambert. Still had a great game.

Perfetti was excellent and Kupari sure looks like he has a bright future if given the chance.

Now to the powerplay.
The young guys just showed the vets how to run a powerplay and how movement is so key.
I don’t think our powerplay, as a unit this year, has looked better than it did tonight.
