300 level was sparse last night. Almost nobody in the last 3 or 4 rows. But still dozens of people having their conversations right in the middle of the concourse blocking the damn flow.
Post-Game Talk: Jets forgot how to hockey tonight, lose 4-1

I don't think that's what it was. Sometimes you just don't have the legs, it's weird how even an extra day off can mess with your legs.
You could see almost the entire team was skating in jello.
It was frustrating but there's a reason first game back after a road trip is often a bad game for teams.
Are we really blaming rittich? Have we gotten that used to Helles super human abilities?
Look at the goals that were scored again, those were AAA chances.
Korpisalo was excellent and we were woeful at preventing cross crease passes and it killed us.
On to the next one!
You have to keep your bench engaged and ready. Gagner for AJF was so insignificant. I know we're not used to having so much nhl depth.
Worst part of Rittich’s game are the rebounds. He creates so many scoring chances for the opposition. I’d almost feel better about a guy just getting beat clean rather than kicking a Gudbranson point shot into the net front scrum and into the back of our net.
I know, I watched that game ….. they don’t count own goals like in soccer

Attendance will fluctuate year after year depending on the performance of the team the new car smell wore off years ago. Again Jets 2.0 has many more revenue streams that 1.0 could only of dreamed of. Attendance is one part of it but will not be the sole reason that the team will stay or go.

Oh my, flush the turd (twice to be sure) and move on. Use some spray because that one leaves the room real stinky. As long as we bounce back like we have all year after a loss it will be ok. Please don’t soil the sheets two games in a row.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I'm not so mad about this loss. Laine deserved to get back at us for once. I even cheered when he scored at the game last night.

This kind of analysis is at the level we used to see about Hellebuyck when he had a bad game. Hard to take your points seriously with the verbiage you use. It's just personal at this point.
He wasn't good, nobody was good. Constantly singling out PLD is doing you a disservice given your level of good analysis of this team in the past. The team is better with Dubois right now than it is without him.

I don’t like messing with a winning line up. These are professionals they should be able to keep themselves ready through practice and training possibly extra ice time after practice. The fact I don’t think Gagner fits the team identity which is speed in bottom 6. His main attributes being good in locker room being a good mentor does not require him to play.
Edit: I’d say minor not insignificant and at that level everything you can do with the teams being so close to give yourself an edge, playing the same winning line up, you should do.
Especially with Laine coming back. That line with Johnny Hockey and Sillinger is going to light up a lot of teams I think.
I think that's extremely old school thinking. Messing with a winning lineup is only impact when it's a significant change.
I also think there's a bit of lack of understanding between practice and playing games. They are extremely different animals.
Having our depth players get real games during the season should play dividends through injuries and as the fans get tougher heading into the playoffs.
Gagner in had very little to do with our loss last night if any.
The fact that we didn't skate, lost battle all over the ice and couldn't prevent cross crease passes is what lost us this game and 10 minutes of ajf wasn't going to change that.
Where is @KingBogo ? I'm waiting for a post game report 
By the sounds of it glad I didn't get to watch this one live, and decided not to watch on PVR after seeing the score. Teams have games where nothing works. Just have to move on.

The Colorado game was the first game back from the road trip.

You expect Helly to play every night ?
In the playoffs yes. Not there yet. Please chill

The pandemic changed a lot of things. I'm not surprised at the results. First years eveyone wanted a Jets ticket. Then it becomes something you can save your money, watch on TV...The live experience isn't the thrill it was.
Christmas time people have to save some money if they want to enjoy Christmas with their families. Walkups aren't an easy sell this time of year. If the Jets make the playoffs, that's where True North makes their money, makes up for the soft losses in attendance, especially if you win a round.
If attendance stays soft though I wonder if payroll is affected. Most teams are spending to the Cap now, but there's a few down there that have lost money on the regular, and the Jets might get closer to them than the top dogs.

Bad games happen. Move on.
Subbing Ganger for Axel hardly affects the game. They’re bottom sixers and Gagner had produced more anyways. Wanna complain about changing a winning lineup? Switching goalies had the biggest effect. But our game was awful anyways. We didn’t deserve it.
