Post-Game Talk: Laffs 1 Jets 0 in OT

[DRW204]

The numbers showed that the Jets were scoring above expected rates early in the season so it's not surprising their offense was normalizing prior to Scheif's injury 10 games ago. Since his injury, the team has cratered at forward. Iafallo's been especially useless with 4 points in over 2 months.

The power play with the current players at this point, even when Vilardi and Scheif come back. It has been bad the entire season. The only hope is if they trade for a player(S) who can actually contribute with the man-advantage.

IS lindholm good on the power play?

I think the pp is more of a system issue than personnel. Lindholm may be good but this setup leaves alot to be desired.

Would of been nice if Barron would of scored on that 2-0. Dude needs to develop mitts or he'll never be more than a bottom six player and that's not bad all teams need ditch diggers.

Kupari also had one of the most anti-climatic scoring opportunities in recent memory too.

 

[LowLefty]

Wow

 

[WolfgangPuck]

We needs a player that can convert the scoring chance. There were opportunities. If it was KFC and Vilardi on that 2-0 no doubt we would score

Barrelling in on the goalie and firing it into his chest doesn't scream scorer.

That game restored my confidence despite the result. They played really well with a depleted lineup and almost shut the Leafs out for the first time in forever for them (according to that graphic that SN showed). They deserved to win that one.

 

[bustamente]

There is no one that can convince that atm the Leafs are more a cup contender than the Jets.

Him and Lowry both missed on 2 on 0.

Someone in another thread had posted he's going to breakout... Well shit when you got 0 goals the bar is so low on what's a breakout

No it doesn't but he rarely gets those opportunities so it's no surprise he's head down and letting it fly somewhere toward the net.
it would have been great to see him pot that one but he's got a ways to go before he's picking the corners like a goal scorer.
I like the player - hope he can pull it together and get some offense in his game (to go along with his D).

There's something about him though - he leaves you wanting more and with the feeling there is more if he could just score a goal.

And even if we had shut them out, so what? The SN graphic tomorrow would have read “if you don’t count the times that the Leafs scored zero goals, they haven’t been shut out since the days that they had to wait for the horse to drop the puck”.

Hey I like him too, picked him to score tonight, almost made me Karnac

Sonofabitch if you didn’t just give me a new GDT idea!

 

[bustamente]

Nate Mac going insane tonight hatty midway thru the second

 

[Jets 31]

5 straight PP's to 0 .....

 

[bustamente]

I hope Bones mentions the 5 straight calls in his presser

 

[Jets 31]

Good game by a very shorthanded team , i would love to see what happens if we played Toronto completely healthy.

 

[gojetsgo]

I hope Bones mentions the 5 straight calls in his presser

all he said about the calls were that we took 3 of them in the second and it took our offense out of the flow and guys sat on the bench for to long

 

[ecolad]

We have been a bottom 10 team in terms of finish the last 10 games. I'm not that surprised our finish has regressed. Even more important the coaching staff figures out the pp.

Agreed. Did you notice when we had the abbreviated 4v3 opportunity how the leaf defenders simply stood in their normal box and let the boys move the puck around the outside? They didn`t have to move a stitch to keep all lanes to the net closed... . We tend to look better and create more scoring opportunities against teams that try to pressure/pursue the puck on the perimeter but I`ve noticed that teams are increasingly just standing in their box positions. It`s long past time time for our coach`s to make tactical adjustments.

I said right after the game the Jets were clearly the better team and deserved the win. But Buds goalie stood on his head and those numbers prove that. Had the Jets had even two of the missing players never mind all of them they would of easily won the game. Now imagine a full Jets roster vs the Leafs and refs actually calling a real game. Easy Jets win

 

[AussieBomberJet]

Sounds like it was a better game. Couldn't watch because a) working and b) sheltering from a cyclone just north of me haha

There's lot of players like that in the nhl. He just joins the list of the rest of the mid (or worse) 4th liners. He started the season showing promise but were 20 games in now 0g 1a. On the basis that the PLD trade was supposed to supply additional scoring depth, 2/3s of the players from it really ain't doing much.

Everyone knows exactly what we are going to do on the PP and defend accordingly. Our coaches need to spend the break devising something new.
