Post-Game Talk: Jets Bagel the Crapitals 3 -0

[WolfHouse]

I do love how last game apples almost gets a goal and we are like no one tried at all!!!

This game toffoli almost gets a goal in same scenario and we are 'great start!!!'

 

[kanadalainen]

Well, that was fun. Win 3-0, lose 5-0, win 3-0. Apart from the schizophrenia, this is a fun team to watch. Which version of the Jets will show up on Wednesday night?

Answer: the 3-0 team. If I get an A+ on that quiz, and you count the odd soliloquy or two, what is my cumulative GPA?

 

[kanadalainen]

Didn't get to watch but sounds like a solid statement game to me. Happy for the W!

Dude, go find it somewhere and watch it. You will be happy that you did so.

I still have a real grudge against the Caps for that dreadful 2 game B2B home stand against them years back where they basically destroyed our playoff hopes and we looked absolutely brutal. So beating the Caps like this late in the season is an enjoyable thing. Stupid but it is what it is lol...

addendum - thinking about it now I remembered I was actually at the second of those 2 games. Going into that game we were all looking for the Jets to come out guns-a-blazin to avenge the loss the previous game and keep their dim hopes alive but instead they dropped a total and complete turd. The arena was a very dismal place to be that night.

Here is a summary of the game for those in distant locales.

Connor Hellebuyck helps Winnipeg Jets soar past Washington Capitals | TSN

Connor Hellebuyck collected his 30th win for the Winnipeg Jets this season with a 23-save performance in a 3-0 shutout of the Washington Capitals on Monday.

And if you let that summary run, Martin Biron's commentary follows. Please find a set of noise cancelling headphones and I recommend about 30 mg of your favourite b-blocker (metoprolol will be fine).

Some of the games the Jets played this year makes me wonder how the opposition ever gets wins given how badly they were outplayed. This was one.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Didn't get to watch this one but looks like a heck of a performance by the good guys.

Keep pushing forward, getting first in the division would be huge.

Chill... and good night HFJetbots... sweet dreams...

This post makes me happy.

Or as the kids kept quoting to me during the Mandalorian craze: This is the way.

Was at the game- super fun but the caps looked hungover

Oh, kinda like the Jets did in Vancouver

 

[bustamente]

Maybe Ovie wasn't feeling it last night but it sure looked like he was going thru the motions. He will be 39 years old next season does he still have the juice to surpass Gretzky and score the most goals in the NHL.

My answer is pee pee poo poo.

Want a good read? Go read the Capitals GDT . I think we sometimes are a little too critical of our Jets this season especially. Chevy, Bowness and the team are looking very, very good this season. Bring on whoever, doesn't matter we have the White-out .

Think that it had more to do with how well the Jets played .

 

[scelaton]

Ok, what's going on? Everywhere you look, nothing but respect and praise for the Jets, be it the other team's coach, mainstream media, or internet pundits.
No comments about Wpg weather or Wi-Fi, just about size, speed, skill, depth and systems.

This is all making me very nervous and threatening our very identity

 

[Jets 31]

We debate here about lines but I think roster up front is so deep that as long as Bones just keeps these positions fixed:

X-Scheifele-Ehlers

X-Lowry-X

X-Monahan-X

X-Namestnikov-X

You could literally fill all those wingers labeled 'X' randomly from the guys that were in the lineup today and you'd end up with a group that can contend and has 1 NHL top line and 3 NHL second lines. As an exercise I filled out all those Xs with the help of a random number generator and ended up with these lines:

Nino-Scheifele-Ehlers

Connor-Lowry-Barron

Iafallo-Monahan-Perfetti

Toffoli-Namestnikov-Appleton

I liked the lines last night, Vilardi comes back and move Iafallo down. Who comes out i don't know,that's a tough one but man what a great problem to have.

Still think we need less skill and more speed on the 4th... Barron's forecheck is noticeably more aggressive than names and perfetti - but yeah I wouldn't want to be the one making roster decisions now

Sounds like bowness describing the Canucks...

 

[Howard Chuck]

Missed the third, but the first two periods were a treat to watch. I haven’t seen that much creativity on all 4 lines in a long time (maybe never?).

So much fun to watch.

Pack of wolves. Love it!!!!

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Its funny because you could just change the name at the top to Rick Bowness and it could be him talking about the Canucks and our game against them last Saturday.

Checked the TOI stats for the Washington game just now - highest forward was Scheifele with 19:50 and lowest was Barron at 11:05. Love that distribution. If we can continue to run Names and Perfetti on a 4th line actually creating offence, damn that will be something.

Edit - @WolfHouse beat me to it.

Have we ever won with the WhiteOut?

Does anyone have a Vilardi update?

Under .500 at home in the playoffs

Vilardi might skate later this week, might not. UBI.

 

[scelaton]

Under .500 at home in the playoffs

Wait--we mostly lose at home in the playoffs and have whiteouts.
And we mostly win reg season games and Ehlers mostly plays < 17 minutes.
That's causation, right?
