Post-Game Talk: Jets lose in OT 3-2

[Finnflash]

Hope the Labs choke on that point and it prevents them from getting a top 5 pick.

PLD invisible tonight for them. Kind of like 2/3s of his time here.

 

[KingBogo]

On the plus side:

- 1 point
- Koal Perfecto ressurection
- Volare continues his run of slick hands magic

Agreed. Perfetti needed a game to get the mojo going again. The kid was in a bit of a funk and needed to have something go for him.

 

[MardyBum]

Just look at the PP the top 5 teams use, pick one, copy it, and you'll have more success than just standing still throwing passes around the outside

 

[JetsFan815]

Also Scheifele nearly took the heads off of a couple of Habs lmao. Not sure why he turns Big Buff against the Habs.

IF people dont think REFS can cost you points, tonight is a great example of YUP they can and still do. You seriously let montreal get away with crosschecks and all that all game long then when it matters, not only do you not call interference but call our guy for tripping. It's cool for anderson or slafkovsky to cross check guys all regulation, lowry does it in OT... off to the box you go.

Reffing either incompetent or they are being told who to favor and when

13, 362 in the old barn tonight, I would guess that 30% percent were Habs fans

Well that wasn't our best but we got a point and you got to bank them whenever you can.

I thought the team didn't have its legs for much of the game and that had a trickle down effect on our game play. We didn't get enough speed through the nz and that lead to a lot of chip and chase hockey. As a result it was more scramble mode in the ozone that lead to a point shot based game. We did get two rebound goals but we didn't get the zone time we are accustomed with.

The PP is still a hot mess. No clue what they are even trying to accomplish with Mark just sitting there stickhandling in place. There was zero movement.

Helle was good, he's got his game back

JoMo and DeMelo didn't have the best of nights in their end. JoMo was ok offensively.

The rest of the d didn't really standout much good or bad.

Top line got a goal but I thought they had their worst showing in awhile. Vilardi is really starting to flash those hands all over the ice. Love how he also uses his body to shield the puck. Ehlers was a bit too chaotic tonight, and Mark really wasn't as dominant as he usually is.

Second line: Got a goal and didn't give up much. Pretty low event game for them. Happy Cole broke out of his slump. Would like to see this line start to hold up pucks more and wait for better opportunities.

Third line: Thought they were pretty bad tonight. Got hemmed in a lot and generated nothing.

Fourth line played well.

I think it's OK to take the Habs fans' money.

 

[Jetsetter]

Not to complain too much but the REF's sucked in the LA game and tonight! Yes we didn't have our A game. I've never scene a player carry a puck for two steps in front of the net and throw a pass. That crappy Sportsnet, homer PLAY by Play team was difficult to listen to. There that was enough! F!

I broke something just watching that play.

Chipman would agree with on that one

Trade him for Anderson and Dvorak.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Habs fans drive home happy in their beaters back to St. Malo

They'll be so happy they may even make a pit stop in Niverville

I was super happy to see JoMo come back, what a tough guy.

 

[bustamente]

They see the problem that has been with them all year and have done nothing, not expecting much

 

[Weezeric]

It came from the cross check, ie Lowry cross checked him and Matheson fell onto the puck and decided to keep his hand on it.

If the refs were going to call that “cross check” to put them on a 5 on 3 in overtime…….

 

[macmaroon]

Fell asleep for most of the second period, but I didn't miss anything, unlike the refs...geez... I give the game two refs out of five...

The migration to the new server is not going well, as I have to download all of my gifs, which is time consuming... Hope they get it fixed soon...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Detroit Dead Things has been posted so you can start getting your guesses in. Don't forget to sign up to create a GDT, a big shout out to @Luc Labelle and @flyingkiwi for their support! Thanks you two! See you all on Wednesday! Good night...

All part of the learning curve. He had 18 shots the 5 games before so it wasn't a lack of chances. Think they need to figure out how to get him more involved in the pp, he's wasted in the bumper.

It's been the same for years at this point. At this point I think the only thing that might make the players wake up is giving them the stick until they start moving. Cut PP minutes if players are just defaulting back to their area on the ice during the PP. Shots should be coming from everywhere and anywhere and they should be moving to make the penalty killers struggle to stay in shot lanes.

 

[Aggie204]

Lose to the Habs on a SN broadcast. Can we name a more shittier duo?

Would it kill the special teams coach to try something different? The structured PP does not do anything for the team. We need chaos damnit!

I agree 100%. I hate to say it but they need to take a page from Vancouver's playbook. I believe there is no set positions for their players, they are directed to constantly switch to change looks. That is what our unit needs to do.
