Post-Game Talk: This Is Not The Day I Die - Jets 4 Blues 0

[Jets1975]

Jets bring that every game, they're unbeatable. Unfortunately, they don't bring that every game. And Trevor Kidd, uhhhhhhh.................stick to radio.

 

[Afterburner]

Mo has this team playing a game I like. I like it a lot.

 

[Festinator]

That was 2 completely dominant performances against one of the top teams in the west. Glad to see the Chicago game was an anomaly.

Also a big "lmao" to the guy pregame who was criticizing people for being optimistic and saying we were a bad team.

 

[Deedog99]

Dominatrix performance. Sky is on hold from falling for a couple days anyway. Lol

 

[Aavco Cup]

Playing like that, yes.

Pretty much the same as last night. Just different puck luck.

 

[AlphaLackey]

I've seen him make some mistakes in his own zone the last couple games, leaving Kucherov alone in the slot comes to mind but besides that his skating, and puck moving are elite.

I liked how he held the blue line this game, too many times on the powerplay we see our defencemen panic and make a bad play that leads to a turnover. Refreshing

Every athlete in every sport will make mistakes. All you need to do is make less of 'em than the other guys.

 

[Board Bard]

Not that much different from yesterday's game but way more fun to watch.

 

[JetsFan815]

A game like this against one of the best teams in the league certainly gives one confidence that they can hang in there with the big boys.

What a game by Poolman.

Laine please play like this every night.

[Robinson2187]

Morrisey is a ****ing GOD! Fantastic game by CLT. and Helly with another egg, just utter dominance at times. God bless us everyone.

 

[Afterburner]

Trevor uhhh Kidd though uhhhh. That was uhhhh hard to listen to

 

[Monkey D Luffy]

Agreed, the thing I have been disappointed with the last couple has been effort, not lack of skill or mistakes.

IIRC there was no reason to be optimistic

 

[NotCommitted]

Laine seems pretty fine everytime I watch a game. I watched more games last season. I might have a solution.

 

[JetsFan815]

Fun fact: This was the biggest Corsi win in Jets/Thrashers history and the 2nd biggest xGoal win!

 

[Romang67]

Before this weekend, the Blues were 1st (last?) in the league in SA/G with less than 29 shots against per game.

They now have over 30 shots against per game, dropping them down to 5th.

But yeah, this weekend sure signaled to me that we might as well give up on the season.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Objectivity isn't welcomed here, gotcha.

Maybe you're not up on your linguistic nuances, but your use of "playing like that" for this game implies that their prior game wasn't also very good and would lead to good results especially factoring in the road win.

Objectively (as in, by all metrics that predict success) it was. So if objectivity isn't welcomed here, we're not the ones shooing it away.

 

[jefferoni]

You know who was optimistic? This fella, who not only called a Daily Double across TWO sports but predicted BOTH would be laughers ("and that's with TWO F's" - B. Eucker):

 

[rubikscube]

Confidence is creeping back into the team.

First line was flying.

On our second line we have started to stretch out our break outs and it's really helping Laine. The other team can't cheat in because if we get behind them our guys are gone. I like that adjustment by Mo.

Third and fourth lines still doing their jobs. Would like to see more of Perreault up the lineup but oh well.

Poolman is easily a third pairing guy. Can't wait for him to bury his first one.

Morrissey is a top pairing d-man which is just mind blowing to me. Can't say I saw that sort of rapid development coming, ala Scheif.

 

[sipowicz]

Newsflash

Helly gets the next start,

2nd and 3rd better

Top line got their mojo back baby!

Armia and Perreault played a man down!

Good D, miss Buff a little!

I wasn't all that impressed last night? Lots of shots that didn't look very dangerous, cool.

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Morrissey was f***ing amazing tonight. Whole team played well, but honestly: not a whole bunch different than yesterday, other than the Blues goalie.

Fun, fun game to watch.

 

[AlphaLackey]

We got twice as many high percentage shots out of it as well. Check the heat maps.

Charts deserve to be posted then

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Josh Morrissey, superstar.
He's been better than Trouba this year, and certainly one of the best tonight. Hoping it's a sign of much more to come.

Just you wait in a couple years into the playoffs and people will recognize him and realize he’s a young Vlasic.
