Post-Game Talk: Stars 3 - Jets 2

[Hollywood3]

I don't care about Saturday afternoon games. I just listened on the radio while attending to Saturday errands.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Stars good
Jets not as good

On to the next one.

Not sure of your point other then the Jets are less important to you than montane everyday (Saturday) errands?

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

On the whole I like what I see with the Jets this season but a few things jump out to me. Schmidt has passed his best before date; Helly is not playing to his potential; and Morrissey is not in the running for the Norris. I’m thinking that they’ll work things out. At a minimum a definite playoff team. Go Jets Go!

When the Jets scored to make it 3-2, you should have seen the smile on my mother's face. Unfortunately, that's as close as the Jets got. I give this game three mother's love out of five...

The Prediction Contest has been posted for the game against the Devils, so you can start getting your guesses in. No one has signed up to make Tuesday's GDT, so if you would like to post one, now is your time! See you guys then...

Hellebuyck definitely has more to give but he's notorious for sub par starts after a few days rest.

Morrissey for me has been very up and down. I think last season opened eyes around the league and he's getting heavily scouted now. I still think his escapability is sublime but he will have to adjust his game with the extra attention.

Schmidt has been awful this year but he was hurt and I think he had his best game of the year today. He says he's finally feeling good again so hopefully we'll see better from him since the org seems allergic to make a D move like calling up Capo

 

[Moon Man]

Dallas is legit the Jets are a work in progress, we will have more games like today just have to learn how to win them

Well said

First game back after a road trip and a crappy afternoon game to boot usually means Jets fail!

Agreed about JoMo. He's being game planned against. The coverage on him is much tighter so he's having a lot more of his shots blocked. He'll have to make some adjustments. Still 10 points in 14 games is pacing just shy of 60 points. He's also been pretty positive in goal differential and his underlying numbers are solid.

Don’t bring facts into it!

Second period was painful to watch. Boring period but tons of unforced turnovers. Glad they pushed back and Helly gave them a chance in the third. Be nice for either goalie to steal a game. Haven’t gotten good goaltending this season.

Second was painful, but about the goaltending…no…we did have better early on, way early on in preseason, we just sent them back to the farm.
Good goaltending is firmly in the pipeline, it’s too bad we won’t see it for a while. Hope I live long enough!

Average team produces average results.
More news a 11

Chisholm was the best Moose dman last year and he’s stapled to the press box.

Agreed. I think the game was a good reminder of the great cliche: you've got to play a full 60 minutes. Good teams need reminders every now and again. Press as you may in the 3rd period, and press they did, if you make enough bonehead plays early in the game you'll never make up for them. Perfetti getting outmuscled on the Stars second goal as Scheifele coasted by (on the aggravating PP!) and then that sloppy turnover by Connor as Scheif drifted by on the third goal were quintessential unforced errors. Clean one of those up and the team gets an overtime point at worst. This was a winnable game, or at least a coin flip, without those plays.

Ps. Despite the weak play on the SH goal against, I'm really starting to appreciate Perfetti's potential.

 

[Jets 31]

Not going to win them all and it's not like we got pumped 6-0 and out played badly. Good push back in the 3rd period, thought we were going to tie it up. One thing though, i would like Schmidt sat for a couple of games and give one of our other defenseman a try. Too bad Perfetti hit the post on his breakaway.

 

[bustamente]

Attendance ticks up again to 12,420 and even though the Jets lost it sounds like they were entertained.

I despise afternoon games. I even prefer morning games.

That too. I don't know why you bring Schmidt back after injury and keep playing him even though he was a nightmare about every time he touched the ice. He's never been great defensively, but at least he could generate offense. Now he does neither.

Why play him over a guy who might actually give you reliable minutes and develop into something? At least try it ffs.

When Vilardi comes back is going to force the Jets hand, but it shouldn't have to be forced.

I especially feel bad for Capo because if he wasn't stick in the minors because we don't want to lose him, I'm sure he'd be in the nhl somewhere

 

[MardyBum]

Fwiw.

 

[DRW204]

Fwiw.

Best defensive team in the league. To bad analytics are hogwash

No one is forcing Capos’s hand. If he thinks he is nhl worthy and his team won’t play him he can ask for or demand a trade.

 

[surixon]

Fwiw.

Matches a lot of what I've seen. Real good defense with average offensive chance generation. Similar to teams like the Canes who I feel we should be emulating in terms of pace of play.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I’m just having we are a lot better than last year at this point. In the playoffs last year we were barely a snack so slow to get my hopes up.
