GDT: Jets vs Preds Round 2 - Game 6 - May 7th, 8:30pm - "Fire on Ice"

[Yutronkov]

Getting embarrassed again in our own barn. So much for home ice.

 

[Ippenator]

Laviollette has figured out our PP scheme. They’ve done their homework so we’ll have to adjust for our next game.

The problem is that Maurice doesn’t adjust, he just keeps grinding with his system.

 

[Neuf]

Can Nashville lose so many at home? I hope so

 

[sipowicz]

Connor is such a gamer dude.

True, but Ehlers and Laine sure as hell aren’t!

 

[BigZ65]

Do we not have a plan to aggressively forecheck down 2-3 goals? So many times we have 2 guys vs 4 down low and just watch them take the puck. Need some bodies at the net and below the goal-line.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Someone needs to lay the body on Forsberg, he's just free-wheelin out there.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

All I said was he was the only one to show up tonight. Is that false?

Nope

 

[Daximus]

Clearly playing with a rib injury, can't breathe right and hurts to hit straight on. All his hits he leads with his backend.

I think so too. Throwing his shot off as well. Wouldn't be surprised if we hear about something after the playoffs. Ehlers is probably playing through something as well.

 

[Duke749]

Some of these guys need to take a look in the mirror after tonight.

 

[Hobble]

People leaving now.

Guess I can't start a we're still here chant.

 

[Maukkis]

'They're trying to light the fuse with six minutes left'

With what? Fire extinguisher?

 

[KingBogo]

Haven't seen anything I've liked from either of them. But they aren't far behind. Ehlers, Laine and most of the bottom 6 has been useless.

No finish tonight but the line is all sitting at about 70% possession numbers. They had the pressure, just disjointed.

 

[Daximus]

Getting this far is all bonus time but can't help but expect it right now with how they are capable of playing. A lose in this series would be very disappointing.

 

[surixon]

We are better than this.
Can’t explain it.

Inexperience, its that simple. It isn't easy to put away a great team. Now they know what type of performance isn't acceptable. This team seems to learn from its failings so I expect a much different performance on Thursday.

 

[LowLefty]

Laine just wants to shoot, he doesn't want the puck otherwise. I can't count how many times his flown by the puck at our blue line or in the neutral zone and watch a Pred take it the other way. He's really developing into a one-dimensional player.

I think he was a fully developed one dimensional player when we drafted him. Question is - can he be any more than that?
Another tough night for the kid.

 

[behemolari]

Don’t mind losing, just don’t understand the bad play the whole game......We lost this one they didn’t beat us.

you will

 

[sipowicz]

Subban was right, bloody Nostradamus!

 

[Daximus]

No finish tonight but the line is all sitting at about 70% possession numbers. They had the pressure, just disjointed.

That's the thing they always have pressure but not dangerous really. Preds will take that every game.

 

[BullLund]

Laine just wants to shoot, he doesn't want the puck otherwise. I can't count how many times his flown by the puck at our blue line or in the neutral zone and watch a Pred take it the other way. He's really developing into a one-dimensional player.

He was doing quite good by the end of the season. He seems to have regressed in the playoffs, and is relying mostly on his shot.

I think the intensity of the playoffs has just grinded him out. There's a reason why most teams rely on the vets to win playoff games. Because they've been there and done that. They know how hard the "grind" is, playing high intensity games on top of a 80 game regular season.

I wouldn't be too worried about this reflecting his future level of play. But as far as these playoffs go, don't count on Laine to pull off any miracles. It's all down to the guys with experience now.

 

[DharmaBum]

I think so too. Throwing his shot off as well. Wouldn't be surprised if we hear about something after the playoffs. Ehlers is probably playing through something as well.

Malaise; goes great with Cilantro, not so much with playoffs.

 

[Howard Chuck]

The preds have nothing to fear on the boards. We aren’t making them pay at all.

 

[John Agar]

True, but Ehlers and Laine sure as hell aren’t!

I love you Sip'....

But our problem isn't persons slightly out of puberty...

It's the grown men of the Jets....

Peace....

 

[folix]

Elhers sitting on the 4th line and Pomo won't change it. F your ego put him back in.

 

[None]

I can look at his S% and be optimistic, but when the guy is mostly floating around and shows little urgency and movement, I cannot accept that. At all.

The only time I saw any urgency from Laine this series was after he scored the goal in game 4 to make it 2-1. The rest of the team looked just like tonight.

That said, he's far from the only floater tonight. I haven't liked anyone except Enstrom, Connor, Hellebuyck, Perreault, and maybe Copp. This effort doesn't inspire much confidence.

 

[KingBogo]

Scheif had moments but I don't know, looked pretty casual/lazy to me a lot of the night

I wouldn't call that lazy in any way shape or form. We had one line that actually did anything. Just lacked any type of finish.
