Post-Game Talk: Jets Bagel the Hawks 4-0

[CorgisPer60]

how about the fact they're 7-3-1? not every game will be a Picasso, and they surely still have things to tighten up (ie: im still wary/not 100% sold on their defensive play. will we see if they can showcase some consistency). but most teams aren't perfect all the way through either. they've played real good in b2b games now probably for the first time this year (regardless of W or L) so hopefully they continue to build off that/ride momentum.

Points are points; they all spend the same in April. Credit for them winning the games they should be winning (and those that they shouldn't), but it will take more games for me to be comfortable, if not impressed, by this team. Montreal isn't great. Neither is Chicago. Dust off and prepare for the next game.

I will be very sad if Hellebuyck ever plays for another team.

After watching Kovacevic get caved in lately, and seeing Capo having a great game, I'm wondering if we didn't make the right choice after all. Losing a player sucks but it's great to have defensive success and it's great to have depth.

that's fair. they've also played some stiffer competition relatively well at times this season. and yes Helle has been incredible this year.

Yet another mugging around the Phone Booth. Great job, Jets. They earned that one today and made the Hawks look like an ECHL team. Or the Coyotes, whichever is worse.

Can we still call it the Phone Booth?
What can we make out of Canada Life? Lifeboat?

agreed on appleton. maybe theyre trying to justify that contract or something? not sure. but i didn't mind the top line with Gagner on it. Agreed on Morrissey's game today.

I wonder what their record was after. . 15 games last year. Hmm .

Im happy with the wins, but like their head coach has said, they need to play better, and do it more consistently. Hopefully with Bones healthy again they get a bit more consistent.

I'm just calling it The CLC. My penchant for computers and AIO liquid cooling makes it a very easy decision.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

We are tied for 5th in the league in both pts and pts%. It will soon be 6th when the Dallas-Edm game is over. But 6th in the league is not bad.

they were 9-3-3? something like that

i am fully aware that they've gotten points they probably shouldn't have. over the course of 82 that'll happen, and you'll also not get points in games you should have.... i also mentioned in that post that they have areas where IMO they probably still need to tighten up, or show some consistency in.

The game started at 5am local time so I didn't get a chance to watch. Sounds like the boys put on a great show.

I want to be positive, but I'm acutely aware of the bi-polar nature of this team, which usually ends up in heartache at the end of the season. I think it's still too early in the season to form a definitive opinion. If we can keep the momentum going until February/March, then I think we are the legit deal.

The Jets with the win and shutout and the Oilers are losing it's a good weekend.

An Oiler win against the Stars would have meant that we would be in first place in the central.

How about a manatee game?

Yup, getting the points early is great. I think when we all saw the schedule we did not expect this record when looking at the teams they were playing to start the yeat.

They're a top 5-7ish? team in NHL standings, but are playing closer to a 15-17 bubble NHL team outside HelleGod.

Looking better since Bones ripped em though

 

[macmaroon]

TSN camera angles I see...

 

[Mooche]

Mo stood out for me today. He was all over the place using his skating and body positioning to kill plays before they could get started defensively. Was happy to see him rewarded with a goal on a beautiful shot.

It's a lot of fun to watch a team with structure and purpose.

Bones is really driving the bus and getting a buy-in from everyone. The 3rd/4th line deployment and play this year has been a ton of fun to watch.

Add in vintage Helle, and yeah, this team is going to be a tough out on a nightly basis.

What a breath of fresh air.

 

[razorsedge]

Good game. Happy Saturday is happy.

pts% has them 6th, with DET, BUF and PHI right behind them.

no disagreement that helle has been amazing. i do hope they lessen his workload a bit though however we might need to ride him 65+ games if the Defense doesn't tighten up.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Absolute domination by the Jets.
Such a fun game to watch and it looked like the players were having fun as well.
A real nice complete game and everyone contributed to that.
It’s really nice to see that the players seem to have hope again. Watching the slumped shoulders of the Hawks players, it reminded me of the last couple years of the Jets.
Great game!

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Boys do we got a number 1 D man now?
Thought Appleton dragged the number 1 line down
Everyone else was good or solid
Helly the man

Those Jerseys looked v. good on TV.

Who was Capo paired with?

We are competitive atm but I don't think we are really ready to compete for the division let alone the conference. Colorado and Vegas are solid teams with Dallas and Calgary right behind them. We are in the mix right below them but a win against the Stars Tuesday could change my mind a bit.

 

[oldunclehue]

Former Jets fan, I come in peace. Glad for y'all that the team looks like they are reaching their potential under a good coach and systems. Jerseys look great.

Rangers vs Jets final. Lets book it now.

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Morr-Pionk pairing looked really good for a change. What difference puck possession makes.

 

[Jetland162702]

Nice game by the Jets. That Perfetti pass to Schmidt for the fourth goal was a thing of beauty.
Lets keep it going against Dallas.
