Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - TB Maulers 2

[bustamente]

1 point behind the Stars with a game in hand, big win tonight can't let down on Sunday

Especially the Jets fans over on the Tampa thread pre-congratulating their fans on a win prior to the game even starting

No kidding. That poster should be ashamed to call himself a Jets fan. What an embarrassment to our fan base

 

[bustamente]

So they start shit and have to defend it, I think Cole has a taken a few to the noggin, Cirelli going after Chef after his clean hit, Stamkos losing it on Ehlers, and Colton with major interference on Chef behind the net.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

I was CONVINCED we were gonna lose this one.

Happy to be proven wrong thanks to PLD.

So convinced you felt the need to go and throw in the white towel on Tampas GDT ahead of time????

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

More soundbites from the other camp

Yup! Although I mostly posted to Slag off Maurice.

Shame on you Tom. Shame shame.

 

[KingBogo]

we also should have a crap ton of deadline capspace that could make it easier to add players

And this is why you don't waste this cap space on panic moves, when you had early season injuries. Good on Chevy being a GM that knows his priorities.

It's a process.

Why were you convinced? What made you think that, and a bigger question why share that without at least backing it up in some way? Stuff like this just makes us look like a panicky weak fan base.

This game could of been easily been a lost with so many players coming off of IR. Instead the Jets won anyways. What happens if this team begins to play all on the same page once the injured players get a few games under their belt?
Are the Jets finally the team we thought they were 2 years ago?

 

[Gm0ney]

I thought Pionk had a good game considering how much he is trashed in around here. Who does everyone thinks gets the next game Samberg or Heinola?

I'm as susceptible to noticing the bad more than the good as much as anyone and a few times Pionk was just baffling me. He seemed to be out there for a lot of Tampa's golden opportunities...

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Do I get any points for guessing the reverse score?

ya, minus 2 pts.

I f***ing love Pierre Luc Dubois. He's a in today's game

A throwback, a wreaking crew, a beast.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Not the best game by the Jets but I'll take the 2 points. The Jets made the most of their special team oppotunities and held TBL off the scoresheet during theirs. 5 on 5 though it wasn't their best game.

Really liked the 3rd period, where they didn't give TBL much after taking the lead. I fully expected a turtled shooting gallery but thankfully that didn't happen.

Some guys were rusty but to be expected.

Really liked Schmidt's physicality, don't usually see that from him so good to see.

AJF getting a good chance and not even being able to get a shot off will never stop being infuriating. Just take a simple shot on the odd man rush man instead of trying to make a slick pass.

1st period was bad. 2nd and 3rd both good.
Flowbee had at least 3 good shooting chances. I won't say scoring chances but every good shooting chance is a scoring chance of one level or another. Just effing shoot!

 

[Larabee]

Can’t see why he would want to go if jets pay market value. Unusual to have such great chemistry.


I’d easily pay him 10 just to stay.

When Wheeler’s cap comes off the books you can pay PLD, Scheif and Helle 10M each. The timing is perfect.

Exactly. What an embarrassment to the rest of us. We need less of that kind of 'fandom' patheticness.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I think there's a good chance the Jets can resign Dubois, as it's really in his best interests to sign with the Jets. He has a playing partner in Connor, that has put him in the top 35 in point scorers in the NHL, and he will know he could win the Cup with this team. Even if he signs for 5 years or so, so he'd still have the chance to go to Montreal down the road.

I don't think he'd want to go to a rebuilding team right now in the Habs, as I just don't think it's in his best interests, either financially, or Cup contender wise. I also think his dad will tell him just that.

5 years with a contender in Wpg and he could go to Mtl just about the time they could have built a contender, possibly.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

6-0 guys and girls when I attend! Let’s keep it going babeeee!

Do you have season tickets?

No? Would you like one?

 

[Larabee]

Had to lookup Frank Brimsek.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Is there any reason why this team can't do aome serious damage in the playoffs?

They play like a team with improving defensive and special teams play.

We have a vezina caliber goalie playing at the top of his game.

A Norris caliber dmen

We have a physical beast of a 1C in Dubois who has to be in around the top 10C range this year.

We have Scheifele playing a strong two-way game at a 10-15 center range.

Throw in some star wingers in Conner and Ehlers and some other good top 6 ones in Fetts and Blake and we have a lethal top 6.

Lowry seems to be playing at a high end number 3 C level this year as well.

Really if we get some good players to shore up our bottom 6 we can do some damage imo.

This is easily a playoff team and quite possibly a contending team if we make some key additions.

Add Apples and Meno to the bottom 6 and we are good to go.

What happened to Gagner tonight? He lookes about 5 years younger.

13 games left in January with many of them winnable games though the jets have a tendency at times to play down to their opponents. 10 wins the rest of the month would go down like a smooth glass of the finest whiskey.

Jets have shed some of their bad tendencies from previous years, like loosing to bad teams ans 2nd period naps.

Good call. The year we went to the Conference Finals, we had a number of less-than-stellar 1st periods, with strong 2nd period responses. I mean, really strong 2nd periods at that.

I don't mind losses, and bad periods here and there, but what I love, is how we've been responding. A very good sign going forward.

My Father once... maybe many times said to me...

"the only perfect person I knew... was a perfect asshole"...

It's okay to be wrong...

The other thing My Father said to me and I know many times...

"if you're not doing anything... you are not making mistakes"...

Be happy...

As a great man once said: “just as eventually dying is a consequence of daring to live, eventually being wrong is a consequence of daring to be right.”

And this is why you don't waste this cap space on panic moves, when you had early season injuries. Good on Chevy being a GM that knows his priorities.

Steady and stolid, just how I like my GMs. Please rehash all of last weeks “Chevy crushing at poker” posts if needed

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Now if we can beat Vancouver we'll be on a nice roll.
