Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 Stars 3 Chevy love edition

[GNP]

I think Mr. Radulov said it best. Short, sweet and to the point.

Hey Aavco--was Myers injured in this game ?? if yes, was it serious or just something minor ?? -- I missed the game, and you always have the "answers"

He blocked a shot. He was in obvious pain on the bench. He didn't miss a shift.

I totally agree with the Cat here on Hutchinson -- he's a very "underrated goalie" and we should not let him go. I think he's the most athletic mover of all our goaltenders.

With the Cap issue coming up -- I'd prefer Mason is bought out at season's end, and or traded, and then sign Hutch. It will cost us too much $$ to keep Mason and Helle. Hutch is a great and "affordable" backup for Helle. If Helle goes down--Hutch will do just fine.

I think the Jet's will regret it, if they let Hutch walk !!!

Nope. Its his attitude that sucks. Get what you can for him now or let him walk for all I care.

Always fun to score a lot and win
Laine destroys the Stars
Ehlers seems to be able to score again
Buff is playing great recently
Enstrom finally scored again!
Hutch now 2-0-0 with an assist
Wheeler still rolling with his point streak, catching up to the Art Ross contenders

Look at that goal differential. I remember in the past being excited when we were near 0 or barely positive.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Enstrom has not at all been my favourite player but kudos to him as he has been playing well. A big big change is he is no longer freezing in an offensive situation.

Why is that? Not sure maybe because of the pairing with Buff and how well Buff has been and the Jets are ahead and thus the structure of his game is more controlled.

Enstrom's had more forays and shots without pause pause pausing the last number of games than he has all season if not more.

Definitely welcomed.

Man i love Radulov even more now, just as entertaining outside the rink as on. It is just unluck he plays in Central...

 

[flyingkiwi]

Great score. I was out all evening and didn’t catch the game, but from the highlight videos it looks like all our goals were scored from approximately the same spot. Stars gotta be better than that.

 

[Ducky10]

2 wins b2b on the road against divisional opponents chasing us in the standings and outscoring them 9-3.

Yeah, we're a good f***ing team alright.

 

[Ducky10]

So much for that Ehlers and Laine being oil and water thing. Looked pretty good together imo.

 

[bustamente]

Second period was pure domination by the Jets, Stars had no answers, didn't notice Klingberg at all, Radulov is a mad man in a good way, as we found out for many a year average goaltending wont get you into the playoffs.

Romanuk had me wishing for Randorf tonight

A few things

Had a dinner party tonight and had to watch much later.
On my recording the audio went out for a few minutes early in the first I'm assuming it was just my PVR. Anyone else experience that?

Back to Romanuk I couldn't believe him at the start of the second. We are short handed he spends a good deal of time speaking like it is 5 on 5. Then we draw a penalty to make it 4 on 4 and he spends close to a minute talking about our power play. He finally figured it out shortly before Ehlers scored.

Great game.
Glad we didn't lose guys to injury.
Can't let teams take that many runs at Scheif.
Happy for old man Enstrom.

Back to work

I thought @Matthew McConaughey would throw me some love for the thread.
He was the star.

I didn't notice an audio drop.

Didn't notice the audio was to busy yelling look out at the screen all first period, both Romanuk and Millen are both tough to listen to and I wonder what they are watching sometimes

He blocked a shot. He was in obvious pain on the bench. He didn't miss a shift.

Buff was laughing at him on bench after he got hit.

I guess it was the Little syndrome...

I think that Copp is a good complement to them. He is good in his own zone so they don't get pinned (especially against good match-ups), he's hard on the forecheck so pucks come loose to Ehlers and Laine. Those two have plenty of skill to create scoring chances.

 

[winnipegger]

Yes those two were good but you know who else was good? Andrew Copp! He doesn't shut things down like Lowry can but he can skate like the wind and makes safe, smart plays. Probably a good center to play with those two. One play in particular stuck out, where he had the puck up high in the Ozone with pressure closing in. Dangerous spot to be in but Copp airlifted a puck into a corner and Ehlers retrieved it easily. Kind of a nothing play but it's the sort of stuff someone like Copp can make a career for himself out of. Just be reliable.

edit - just saw Whilee's post above mine great minds think alike

 

[Whileee]

That was a game where the "score adjusted" Corsi didn't really tell the story of the game.

Quick thoughts...

CSW - Terrific game by this line. I really like Connor's game. He's been consistent, with a very strong game on the puck and he plays at such a fast pace. He complements Scheifele and Wheeler because he is very good at the short and quick plays in tight quarters. He's better than Ehlers in that game, which is probably why this line clicks well with him.

PLR - Another very strong game, but perhaps a bit quieter than previous games. Roslovic had another terrific game. His play to set up Enstrom's goal illustrates why he's a top-end talent. Dynamic speed through the neutral zone, a great move to leave Benn in his dust, and then a sweet pass to set up Enstrom after pulling the D wide. He's definitely a top-6 talent.

ECL - I am liking this line more and more. Copp does a nice job in his own zone so they don't get pinned, and he is a big and strong skater to put pressure on the opposing D, freeing up pucks and space for Ehlers and Laine. He's smart enough with the puck to make plays. Compared to Little, I think he just plays a stronger game on the puck, which is important for these two wingers. Ehlers and Laine have the skill to make plays and finish.

PHA - Really strong game for these three. Petan has been very good lately. He's been much quicker and stronger on the puck, and his faster play is giving him more opportunities to use his skill and vision. Armia looked better than he has. Hendricks has his limitations, but he's actually pretty effective at getting good position and making safe plays with the puck. We've had lots of worse players on the 4th line in the past.

39-33 - Another stellar outing by this pair. Buff is playing exactly how he needs to. Enstrom has been getting better and better as the season progresses, and now seems to have really clicked with Buff.

44-57 - Solid game by this pair. One of Myers' better games - good on the PK. Morrissey rock solid, as usual.

7-5 - Hard to complain about Chiarot's game lately. He makes simple plays, and his boneheaded plays have been minimized. Kulikov continues his steady play. He seems to have a steadying influence on his partners, for the most part.

Hutch - Really solid in the first half of the game, when he had to be. Looks solid.

Always good to be prepared

If I timed it right, the four-figure winnings from my Jets futures wagers will come in time enough for me to celebrate in town and still hit Vegas for my birthday on June 22nd. So yeah, i've planned what's important
