Post-Game Talk: Are you saying Blues or Boourns? Jets win 5-1!

[Joe Hallenback]

I thought the only D man to have a rough game was Myers. But he also made a few good plays as well. He tries to do too much sometimes instead of making simple plays. A few times he went back and forth with Morrow deep in the D zone instead of just going glass and out and the Blues had some chances.

I thought Chiarot had a solid game and was pretty physical all night, this is with Buff not having his best game either.

Trouba went from bad early to pretty great later. Hopefully it is just a timing thing with him and this gets him going for the next game.

Morrissey was just a rock all night so many good plays its hard to count them all

The Little line was great last night.
Who knew it was Ehlers dragging the line down....................

 

[DannyGallivan]

So much to like:

• Helle was outstanding
• The Lowry-Copp-Tanev line may be the best kept secret in the NHL, and our real secret weapon
• Scheifele-Wheeler-Connor looked like Hull-Hedberg-Nilsson... they're just making it look easy now.
• Laine scored, and could have had more
• Perreault was a possession machine... no issues with Little
• Our "fourth" line may become secret weapon number 2 with a few games under their belt.
• Morrissey may be the best defensemen in the NHL nobody knows about (yet)
• Teams better not take penalties against the Jets this season: Scheifele-Wheeler-Laine-Buff...so many weapons

I want to see Dano if Ves is only getting 4 min no matter how good those 4 are. Go cheap.

I hope this is just bad sarcasm.

Vesalainen got 8 minutes on ice.
He looked quite fine.

Gin is delicious though, so you should be thanking them.

Glass half full......

This is the worst day in Vegas Golden Knights history.

I wish them many more.

I wish them many more.

Darn Fleury destroyed my rather strong Fantasy outing yesterday evening.

Blues sending a message that this is unacceptable:

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Screw the Corsi, win the Scorsi!

BTW, we won score adjusted Corsi.

Our PK "strategy" will always make our overall shots against totals look out of whack.

Blues sending a message that this is unacceptable:

The 2018-19 Blues youth movement lasts all of one game.

If I were a skilled Blues rookie I would looking Jetsward and quaking in my skates.

It was an even game. St Louis had two posts and almost scored just before Lowry’s back breaking breakaway. The score could easily have been 1-3 instead of 2-0 at that point. Helle also had probably one of the best goalie performances ever, so the Blues will definitely rebound.

I think the first line was on the ice for both posts against and allowed really dangerous shots from the slot. I’d like to see a bit more responsible play from them in the future, even though they were phenomenal as always.

PLL truely instilled confidence in that being a fantastic line moving forward. Little was good and Laine shot a lot more than earlier. I think he now feels as part of the team and is comfortable with shooting more.

CLT was a bit lost in the beginning but picked it up nicely. Lowry had some really physical shifts, and Tanev is turning into a scorer.

VRE was not that impressive. Roslovic looked VERY positionally lost at times, almost as if he didn’t know what to do. Vesalainen was ok but didn’t do much. I think both players need a couple more games to adjust before you can really say anything.

Myers is just bad. Lacks a toolbox. That play where he rushed up ice with 2 Jets and skates himself laterally to his backhand straight at the boards forcing himself to dump it. The decision was only slightly better than picking up the puck and trying to eat it as a snack...

Get used to it.

 

[Adam da bomb]

It's not about him persay. It's about his ELC and development and is that worth wasting on 8 minutes? Jets are heading towards a huge fan kal crunch and I don't need a crystal ball to see that.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

BTW, we won score adjusted Corsi.

Who cares about 'adjusted' Corsi, or Corsi period.

Screw the Corsi, win the Scorsi. Which we did!

I think that's a penalty though, which could be the only reason he didn't opt for that decision.

 

[ps241]

We're not having another season of this bull****. If you're in the PGT to whine about Little-Laine, save it for a lineup thread or you will be removed.

Is it possible to get something stronger than "like" added to what we think of posts on HFBoards.

 

[pucka lucka]

What he did should have been a penalty as well.

every line he plays on seems to come down with malaise.
just kidding ehler fans. sort of.

Blues sending a message that this is unacceptable:

if only we had a Marchant-type player to punch a Blues' player in the face for showing us up like that...

 

[HannuJ]

correct.
but the Jets also want to win the Cup. so stack up talent.
plus Vesa will go to Europe to play (where his development would arguably lag behind staying here).
plus if Vesa develops, then he makes another contract player (arguably) redundant and tradeable.
plus plus plus

can't have one without the other (consistently). ask the local gentry, and they will say it's elementary!

 

[bumblebeeman]

I missed the game, but just watched the highlights. Man, Helle made some unreal saves. If he keeps playing like that the Jets will be playing into June.
