Post-Game Talk: Farmboy Strikes Again! Jets Win 2-1
- Thread starter EpicGingy
- Start date
At least they went down to HOFers (2 of the best dmen of the 21st century). Jets under PoMo & Wheels laid down 4 straight to a bunch of leftovers.

Connor tried a play on the powerplay that I used to watch San Jose do regularly when they were my team before the Jets came back. Wheeler passed the puck to him at his spot beside the net, he came out in front a bit, turned his back to the crowd and tried to slide the puck through everyone with a backhand pass to a wide open Laine. The thing is when a player has the puck that close to your goalie everyone collapses towards the player with the puck, and when they're that close it's harder for them to react to a quick pass. If it makes it through it's a wide open net for Laine, if it hits a player then it's chaos in front of the net. Might bounce off their defense towards the goal, in this case it bounced off their defense to Scheifele and he got a good chance.
What I'm getting at is that this has always been a very effective play when I've seen it, and I really hope they add it as another option to their powerplay repertoire. Could add a fair bit of dynamism.

Yeah, ~80% Corsi against the reigning Selke winner's line is quite something.
They seem to be every bit as effective as they were last year.
Well, ol' Sip, I'm gonna have to point the finger solely at you for destroying Ehlers confidence with all your, "greedy little Dane" posts. It really seems to have shook him up real good.
He must be saying to himself, "oh no, people think I'm greedy? I will try to be better and pass to my line mates more; not skate with the puck so much and please remember, please, please, please remember to pass instead of shoot"
So, before you go wrecking any of our other good players I'm putting you on notice that every shot you take on a player, I will counter with a positive post.
It's probably not Fortnite that is distracting the players, but obsessing on HFBoards in regards to their standing with a certain hard boiled, tough loving but latent softy poster.

Do you have a site that you use for Corsi numbers for individual games? The one I used has been shut down.
As for that line, they look every bit as effective defensively, they look potentially more effective offensively. Tanev could have easily had 3 points tonight, plus his disallowed goal from last game that I feel should have counted. Copp had some quality chances as well. Very fun watching those 3.

Awesome thanks! I never bothered checking it out because I had my go-to, looks pretty thorough!
Also, wow Lowry's line's Fenwick for that game
After the 2014/15 playoffs Maurice and Chevy decided that even though they had some success as a big and heavy team the Jets needed to get a lot quicker or they wouldn't go anywhere. They shaped a roster and style around quickness. The Kings never figured that out and are paying for it now as a franchise.

You're probably right - but why? It is clearly something they are 'giving' him. I cannot see a reason. Baffling.

After he has his 9 games there is nothing keeping him here.
Also, if that is the case, they are far too worried about him leaving.

This is the best game the Jets played so far this season.
I like when they play that thing called defense.

TrueReally good bounce back game. Jets should have had 2-3 more goals but I'll take the win.
OK, pre-season is over. Lets get started.
With the 1st 2 games as pre season in terms of all the regular players playing together.
Jets pre season schedule was not very good at all.

I'll disagree with this tonight. Wheeler wasn't a passenger on that line, he was really good along the wall, great in retrieval and off the break. I think Laine could probably contribute close to the same but he struggles maintaining possession along the boards. He's using his body better but still not maintaining much possession. Part of the dominance of C-S-W is all of them being really good down low and along the wall, they all contribute in keeping possession and creating.

Yeah, I thought Wheeler looked fine, other than being exhausted. The ice allocation needs to be addressed.

To be honest - I have no idea why resources like that are available for free online. Pretty much all they are missing are xG stats.Awesome thanks! I never bothered checking it out because I had my go-to, looks pretty thorough!

This ofcourse cannot continue, I don't expect this to be a regular occurrence. Maurice may have gotten carried away but one has to imagine that he knows that he needs to leave something in the tank of these players for the post season, assuming the Jets make the post-season.
I didn't see it that way, he had a better game than in Dallas for sure though. Part of it might be how much Connor/Scheifele and carrying the puck so far this season giving Wheeler less of a chance to shine.
