Post-Game Talk: Krackheads 3 Tired Jets 2

[Jetfaninflorida]

Pleasantly surprised we were in that one.

It's going to be a rough 3 or 4 weeks. It's not the number of injuries to our starting lineup that's the issue. It's not the length of those injuries, looking like 2, 3 or 4 weeks. It's not the ridiculous schedule either.

It's the number of injuries, the length of those injuries, and the ridiculous schedule all together.

rittich doesnt belong in the nhl... plays way too deep in his net for a small goalie... chevy never should have signed him

Pls tell me this is a joke. He was our best player tonight.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Big Dave Rittich is 6'3", 206 lbs.

After playing last night, the Jets at least tried, but were beaten by the squids...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Senators has been posted and is ready for your guesses. Don't forget to sign up for a GDT! There are plenty still available, including the Ottawa game...

 

[Truenorthducky]

somehow I just knew Seattle was going to score in the last 10 minutes.

 

[Teppo Numenor]

If we can get 4 points this coming week we should be in good shape going into the break.

I would be happy with three

 

[bustamente]

I would be happy with three

Sure why not, if they don't beat the Sens they might not get any

 

[razorsedge]

I was literally just telling my son that he needs to not lose the puck on the boards when taking a pass from the d-man. Then that happened. Thanks for providing an example, Perfetti. But I don't say that with malice. It happens.

 

[Buffdog]

I forgot, we're supposed to go 82-0

Special thanks to all the posters in here reminding me that it's unacceptable to lose our 10th game in 17 days (on a west coast back to back)

I bet the boys checked in to the hotel in Seattle around 5:00am CST this morning (unless they chose to stay in Van and take the short flight today - which poses its own challenges).

You try that then work the next day and let me know how your productivity levels are

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Bad game all around. The third esp.

PLD was with a rough one, constantly missing passes, missing tip ins to prevent icings, you can tell from his body language when he has a bad game he starts doing things to make it worse.

Still could have managed to get a point out of this had they not completely combusted in the 3rd. Dillon wears the goat horns on this one for not being able to make a simple pass.

It's been only 2 games but I don't like Kuhlman on that line. Eyssimont should draw in at the expense of either Kuhlman or AJF.

Lowry line was the only line that seemed to have anything going.

I disagree greatly on PLD. From my view he generated a lot of chances and was in on both of the goals that the Jets did end up getting past Seattle.

I'm not sure how much stock I can put into the rest of your analysis when it feels like every single game you are calling out PLD, who is on route to a 40 goal & 90+ point season

That one stings a bit because despite all the injuries, it being a back to back and playing their backup goalie, it was a winnable game and they lost on a stupid mistake.

rittich doesnt belong in the nhl... plays way too deep in his net for a small goalie... chevy never should have signed him

Rittich is 6'3", which is average for an NHL goalie. His issue isn't size. It's that he's simply not as good of a goalie as Hellebuyck. Can't really blame him tonight though, he didn't steal the game but the team in front of him didn't help much.

Out of curiosity I looked it up: Sarros is the shortest starting goalie in the league this year at 5'11". Shesterkin, Binnington and Georgiev are the next shortest at 6'1"

 

[WolfHouse]

Tough crowd. Jets just ran out of gas in the last ten and Seattle are playing a nice system this year

 

[PhilJets]

Is that Jmo's record now longest point streak or tied with Buff and Enstrom?

 

[LowLefty]

The boys are at their best when they play fast and hard - they didn't have it in the tank to do that tonight.
Hard to fault them - they didn't make this f**kin' schedule.

Could be a rough week - we have a lot of things going against us right now -
Take out Ottawa and split the B2B is the absolute most one can hope for - save Helle for Washington - throw Dave to the wolves on Thursday (sorry Dave).

 

[UFO]

It's going to be a tough time until we get our guys back, however we will do better than expected.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Rather get beat by Seattle than Vegas.

well he certainly doesnt play like hes 6'3.... he reminds me of comrie..just doesnt have a real intimidating presence... for a team with decent cap space it is alarming how often this team still goes after dollar store goalies and waiver wire pickups... yes some of those pickups have worked out....but why not use some of that cap space to acquire some proven talent instead of just crossing you fingers and hoping it works out? I can understand like a few years ago the the jets had no cap space... fair enough...but now they got plenty and yet chevy is still the stingiest gm in the league.

I mean we all complained about brossoit, comrie and now Riddich when Chevy found them at the dollar store

So maybe he just knows our goalie coach can get the most out of a bargain

 

[winnipegger]

Probably the greatest hockey game I've ever seen

wait

 

[Jets 31]

Schedule maker 1 Jets 0 , having said that if the Jets didn't have so many injuries i think they win that game.

If i was a good goalie why would i sign in Winnipeg Helly is going to get 80% of the starts because he's one of the best in the NHL . Now throw in the pure fact that Winnipeg isn't high on players list to want to play and Chevy has one of the toughest GM jobs in the NHL.

 

[snowkiddin]

That’s very much a schedule loss. Unfortunate. NHL gets their way though

I suspected a loss due to Rittich starting and a brutal B2B. It's almost as if the NHL head office gave Seattle every chance they could...

Well, prediction contest points are my condolence prize.

Seattle and Vegas have the least number of B2B’s this year. I know schedule-making is tough, but I’m just saying.

 

[voyageur]

I was impressed that the Jets managed to get 2 goals on 6 shots through a period and a half, on 2 PPs, but the rest of the game looked like a tired team struggling against a team that had its legs. Though Lowry's line showed something out there, especially in the 2nd period.

Probably could have earned a point if a simple d to d pass doesn't become a turnover. But that's a sure sign of fatigue. I don't think there's a need to scapegoat anyone after this game.

I wonder if Ville the Kid draws in for Ottawa, with the home ice matchup advantage. Capobianco made a hell of play to save a goal very early in the game. And he was the only one up to standing up for Cole Perfetti, who took a couple of shots in the back tonight. That will be an interesting choice given the PP was pretty successful, the 2nd PP maybe not, but they only got one shift.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Is that Jmo's record now longest point streak or tied with Buff and Enstrom?

That’s a new record for a Jets D - 9 games and counting.

 

[bustamente]

Now I know that Capobianco has only had a cup of coffee so far with the Jets and his play has been not to bad. I wonder if he continues his play if this would be an opportunity to try to trade Schmidt and that contract of his. That's 5m in cap space that can be used elsewhere
