Post-Game Talk: Not a big surprise Jets lose 7-3

[Jets 31]

Watching Scheifele is very sad, one of my favorite players but we can't keep him much longer playing like this. He absolutely looks like he doesn't give a shit out there.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Haven't read this thread so I don't know what anyone else thought but I had 2 thoughts about this game.
1) A very good game spoiled by the penalty parade. Not blaming the refs. But constant penalties wrecked what started out looking like a very good game.

2) The early pace was great. The Jets got a little sloppy and spent 1 shift in particular hemmed in their own end. But starting from the time they finally got out until the back to back penalties they played what I would like to see as their 'identity'. I think it was about 10 minutes worth, give or take. Some of the best hockey I have seen from them this year.

It was a fast paced, close checking, hard on the puck style that was causing turnovers and got them into a 2-0 lead. They never really got back to that after the penalties started.

Sutter benched Monahan for 2 games because of bad play, i'm really starting to think we need a coach of that ilk here with this team.

Don't worry, Lowry's cut from the same cloth according to Ken Wiebe. He'll hold everyone equally accountable I'm sure.

Maybe it was prime Wheeler and Buff proping Mark up all those years ago. Wheeler clearly can't drive play like he could back then any longer but still looks good when played with Morrissey complete players that can drive the play for him. Mark still looks like a mess in 2 of 3 zones.

I think the third comment on the Leafs board was complaining about the dirty jets sending out goons.

Dubois is still in their heads over there. I wonder why, honestly?

Anyways I didn’t bother with the game tonight because I was busy but checked the score on my phone. Kinda went as expected.

 

[FFHockey]

Yup, he was my clear favorite the first 5 or so years he played. The last few have been rough with this one really souring me on him. Even when Morrissey was struggling you at least saw fairly consistent effort even if the execution was off. With Mark its like he just doesn't care at all, something is off. I don't know if he wants out or is unhappy with his contract/place on the team, or if there might be a mental disorder but something is clearly impacting him.

He wants out…trade him to Phoenix

Stars win again tonight, Jets chances for the post season on life support

 

[FonRiesen]

You assume that I don't suck worse than Scheif

I'm sure you do, but at least you're not getting paid to suck in public...

Unless Dallas completely collapses, the Jets are likely gonna need 99 or 100 points to make the playoffs (so like 10-0-3 in final 13 games).

We can do it boys!

 

[jetsforever]

So are we showcasing Sanford, these days?

For what? He's a UFA and probably gone in the summer.

Was being somewhat ironic....

 

[JetsFan815]

@Guffman what is the Jets record now since the "switch" was flipped?

 

[kanadalainen]

Do the Jets have goons? Who?

They do not. Its a kool aid thing - in retrospect - hand in hand with how Torontonians install lightbulbs, etc.

I like the coach for the Leafs, and I think the Jets need a coach like him. Doesn't get rattled very easy, and always shows great composure. His teams also play a disciplined style of play. Would not be surprised to see the Leafs win the Cup one day. We need a coach like that IMO.

Perhaps Mark looked upon Buff as a task master, giver of conscience, authority figure. It might explain why he appears to have his rudder shot away.

His pedigree was good in the lesser leagues too. Its no surprise that he is succeeding.

He hasn't won a playoff round with that team yet. This team needs a Sutter type coach that isn't scared to bench anyone .

Also, wouldn't most of us started Comrie against Buffalo and Helly against Toronto? Not blaming Comrie for last night but i don't understand Lowry's thinking on that one.

Maybe Coach Lowry knew the only game the Jets truly had a chance taking was the Sabres matchup.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

We're just not a good team, but too much talent to be a terrible team.

Purgatory.

Something needs to change.

 

[Channelcat]

Scheifele looked like a bad 4th liner in this game. Time to get scratched.

He should have been scratched long ago. Maybe we would have some sort of resolution by now.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

I'm totally deflated after watching last night's game. Honestly, I didn't expect a win especially after playing the night before. However, I expected a little more effort (aside from a few minutes in the first period). And after watching Scheifele's backchecking effort on that shorty...........

I've got family including all of my grandkids out in Calgary so I'm seriously thinking of jumping on their bandwagon.

I've enjoyed reading and participating here but I'm done with the Jets for this season. I'll be back next year.

Cheers.

The leaves won't go far in the playoffs with their goaltending

But hey, it's all rainbows and unicorns in leaves land right now ............

 

[Howard Chuck]

Missed the game because of other commitments, but doesn't sound like there were any surprises.

That backcheck by 55 in the clip earlier in this thread.......... he's got to go. There is no room on a professional sports team for someone who puts in that kind of effort. I don't care how many points they put up, that is toxic to a team.
