Post-Game Talk: Sniffly Jets 5 Brady Led Punching Bags 1

[Adam da bomb]

I’m a bit ticked off at Rittich..I had us at 5-2 but he stopped 35/36..
Awesome teamwork..better passing..
All lines getting fired up..
Stungun and Gagme were welcome surprises..
Lots of seconds on Winner-winner KFC dinner going on and the new 2022 Norrisey rally version on display.
Scheiff giving on-bench tutelage to new kids and a 4th line channeling their inner Swede. Even a Swedish goalie watching careful from the bench..
Great stuff.
We’ll need it for the Caps.

Is stenlund stun gun?
So much depth!

xGoals does not align with the eyetest on this one and it's obvious why. Ottawa gives up lots of cross ice passes and passes from behind the net into the slot that generally don't look that dangerous to the models and they generate a lot of "banging away at the pads" type "shot attempts" that pump those numbers up but don't have a realistic chance of going in.

Best example, Connor's goal off of Morrissey's cross ice pass into an empty net was worth 0.04 xG whereas that "flurry" late in the 3rd with Batherson weakly trying to bang and the puck into the pads while having his stick checked was worth 0.49 xG lol

I felt that the Jets forwards had Talbots number all night - mainly by getting in his grill.

Some friendly coaching advice for our friends from Ottawa:

*TSN starts talking about the Leafs*
*changes channels to something more entertaining like the weather channel*

Jets played great tonight, with a lot of jump, and high energy. The biggest difference I see over last years team, is Bowness is utilizing the defenseman as offensive weapons, and it's paying off bigtime in spades. Morrissey is one of the teams leading scorers, and I believe in the Top 40 of all NHLrs in scoring. You have to wonder why Maurice couldn't see this ?

I'm also liking the play of Stenlund, and Axel. That Axel really hustles out there, and makes things happen. I see him becoming a regular with the Jets, and I believe he has 2 points in his last 3 games, including a goal. Way to go Jets !!!

Oh yeah, backup Goaltender Rittich played very well -- good to see.

 

[Hunter368]

Injuries? No problem, Jets just keep winning.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

A bit happier with Big Save Dave over the past few weeks.

Still gives me Pavelec flashbacks at times though, and that is the most unforgivable thing any goalie can do.

 

[GNP]

2 really tough games coming up against Boston and the Caps, and if the Jets can win just 1 of them, I think all us Jet's fans will be very happy.

 

[bustamente]

Jets will end the Bruins home reign.

Shots fired

 

[DRW204]

Reading solid reviews on the heinola and Dillon pairing.
Any thoughts?

 

[Atoyot]

Jets once again lead the West in point percentage, and are now tied for the lead in goal differential.

 

[DharmaBum]

Time to update an old favourite.

 

[LowLefty]

JoMo is feelin it - wow

Edit: Bones is not - surprised a bit about his post game comments - but glad to hear them.

 

[Guardian17]

Bowness on his post game:

"We got away with things tonight we will not get away with in the next two games."

Says he just talked to Hellebuyck says he's feeling better and will be on the trip.

Good news is Washington is on the backside of a back to back as well. They play in Ottawa the night before.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Scheif's re-emergence has been a very pleasant surprise, and what the jets needed to be a playoff team again.

JoMo's ascendance to a top 5 D-Man in the league has been shocking to me, and what the Jets needed to become true contenders. It's not just the points, he's playing with a supreme confidence and swagger.

I always figured he'd be a quality top-pairing D-man, but by definition there are 64 top-pairing D-men in the league.

Good news is Washington is on the backside of a back to back as well. They play in Ottawa the night before.

So we'll lull them into a false sense of security

 

[JetsFan815]

Bowness pissed in his post game press conference. Saying Jets gave up too much due to poor puck management and got away with certain things that they won't be able to against next 2 teams.

Good thing he didn't post in on HFJets or some would be calling him for being "negative" and "nitpicky"

If the Sens play like they did tonight, Ovi might break Gretzky's record that night.

Is it possible to score that many empty net goals?

 

[None]

Reading solid reviews on the heinola and Dillon pairing.
Any thoughts?

Not bad, Heinola split time with Dillon and Samberg. I thought Heinola looked more comfortable with Samberg than Dillon, but they struggled changing positions along the blue line with both being lefties. I thought it was a pretty quiet game from Heinola considering how actively the Sens were shooting from anywhere. I didn't see anything to suggest he's not ready to make the jump.

Wheeler is gonna meet with him pre-game and give him the secrets.

 

[macmaroon]

After nodding off sometime during the second period, I managed to wake up to watch the third period, so that's my win for tonight...

Of course, now I'm not tired, so maybe I'll do a bit of skeet surfing...

What? You've never heard of skeet surfing? You guys need to stay abreast of the latest fads you know...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Bruins has now been posted and is ready for your guesses. Don't forget to sign up for a GDT. If I can do them, so can you! There are plenty of games to choose from, including the one against Boston...

 

[KingBogo]

That was one of the most in control games I’ve been in a long while. Never once did I doubt we had it in the bag. I’m thinking Thursday and Friday will be a different story.

well if bowness was an hf poster he would be calling out the jets in every media availability he had
