Better effort, same result.
I think the problem is the true contending teams are just that, teams.
The Jets conversely are far too often a group of individuals out on the ice.
When Ehlers goes end to end on a rush like he's the only Jet on the ice its a thing of beauty. The other 19 times it's a turnover.
Didn't check exactly what The shots were but after we were up 10 to the Oilers doubled us up and I think we're near 40 against yet again.
Can read all the posts from those who will say, oh well on to the next one and that is fine except there are fewer and fewer next ones left.
I'll refrain from denigrating who feel everything is right with the team and remain positive this is a mere blip on our way to the Stanley Cup. I wish it were so.
Those who choose to make snide remarks to those posters who have legitimate concerns about the testicular fortitude of this team have been set to ignore.
IMO KFC should be parked in the PB for a bit. If not scoring he's worthless out there. I'd rather see a defensively responsible Kupari in the lineup.
On to the next one against F*ck Vegas.

That game was fun but also wasn't. Glad the Jets didn't go out with tails tucked. The current standard isn't going to cut it though. We'll see what happens, won't we?

Schief had a chance to put the game away late in the 3rd. This game was winnable.
PP still stinks.
No excuse for not putting Ehlers out there in OT.
Jets have time to shape up by the playoffs - but not much time.

Makes the Vegas game even more important, Preds play Arizona next
Great start but faded hard in the second. We got a couple of goals against the run of play in the third to slavage a point.
Great game by Helle.
Thought the fourth line played well but were shelved in the third by a desperate coach.
Our top line as constructed just can't hang with most other contending teams top units.
Special teams continue stink.
Coaching has a tonne of work to do to get this back on track.

It's weird for me to see the critique of Ehlers tonight. His give-a-shit was off the charts, whereas I didn't see any of that with the top line. He makes mistakes but he's a net positive out there almost all the time. The double minor sucked but it came right after a blatant missed trip on him.
This team is out of excuses. When we played like ass on the road trip, there was talk about how they were too tired and about how much road trips suck, and about how the other teams are “desperate for points” because they’re fighting for the playoffs.
But now we’re at home and playing against a team that is already firmly in the playoffs and not as desperate, and we have a performance like that?
That said, probably no better game to reference if you want to accuse the NHL of substandard officiating, on both sides, too. There will be much chatter about the final call, but even past that officiating was poopy bum bum. Refs constantly getting in the way of the play for one, and that Ehlers missed tripping call and then 15 seconds later calling him for high-sticking was WWE-levels of officiating incompetence.

If we had a few more Ehlers on this team we would be way better off

Agreed. While I don’t think Nashville’s 16-0-2 is sustainable, they really narrowed the gap. And they’re hot and we’re not. What a turn of events from like… what, a week ago (??) when where we were in “the driver seat” to win the central and now potentially pacing to be a wild card team. What is a bit funny though: if you don’t win the central, the matchups are hard either way and aren’t meaningfully different whether you’re the 2 seed, 3 seed, or a wild card. It’s like you’ll play either Colorado, Dallas, or Vancouver if you don’t finish first in the central. And you’ll then have to play a great team in the second round no matter what your seeding was. I think the West is so tight, the parity is quite something. Thankfully the gap between the Jets and the 9th spot in the west is pretty large lol so a playoff spot isn’t really in jeopardy.
Lotta pushback….but too many self inflicted wounds to overcome.
Take the point and move on….

But can score you 40 goals. That will get you 8 mil and is coveted by every team in the league.
And yet some of those guys who were got sat the entire third period.
Honestly he needs to have a better pulse on the game sometimes. Barron and Perfetti were playing really well and generated a good many chances and got benched so that the players who were doing not much of anything kept getting trotted out.

I hate to keep ragging on 73, but we're basically playing shorthanded when that line is out there.

Yup tonight is a night where I said a point was needed to kinda stop the bleeding.
I'm unclear as to the playoff format. I believe 2 play 3 in each of the Central and Pacific but does the overall best team in the Central/Pacific combined play the 2nd wildcard team regardless of which division the 2nd wildcard team belongs? or does the 1st team in each division play the top wildcard team in their own division? Bottom line is I'm trying to see who the Jets would play if we slide to a wildcard position (which seems quite possible)

Did not notice him at all tonight, I guess the term and dollar contract is on hold
I’m about to board a flight in Minny. Chevy is on my flight and currently listening to Bowness. What would you guys like me to tell him?
EDIT - he does not look happy.

Question for all you sunshine and rainbow guys. Are you worried yet?
Some of us took a lot of shit over asking the hard questions and giving honest observation over the last few weeks and some of us were even told we weren’t real fans and that all is well. When in reality, this team has a ton of warts and maybe, just maybe they are deserving of the ‘fraud’ label they were given. I hope not, but its up to the team to prove that label wrong. And so far they are failing miserably at that.

I think it's more so where he tends ro turn pucks over that frustrates the hell out of coaches. Still he was very good tonight imo.
