2-2, .500, Jets back at their natural percentage for this season!

 

[Ggg99]

I dunno was Rittich really that bad?

Team came out flat.

Good push back in the 3rd.

More effort for full 60 please.

 

[Jets]

2-2, .500, Jets back at their natural percentage for this season!

All things considered, playing the Rangers, Stars, Avalanche and Vegas in the first 4, it could be a lot worse.

 

[bustamente]

We may have lost but as always

Even in the first period we hit two cross bars and deflected in an own goal. Without that bad luck we win this game.

 

[Guardian17]

Everything went wrong in the 1st.

Defenseman pinches and no forward back him resulting in a 3-on-1 goal.

We get a power play and PLD immediately takes a penalty.

Three Jets standing around the goal scorer for goal 2.

Puck off Dillon's skate.

Rittich fumbles the puck.

Good news is there's 78 games left to play.

 

[Aggie204]

Besides the 1st period, I’m not that upset overall.

 

[bustamente]

At least Helle got the night off

Rittich was shaky the first 15 minutes, and was ultimately not prepared.

Players subsequently did not know how to react, and were, ultimately not prepared.

Again, Arniel has to stop play after the first goal (or at the latest the second!) there and knock some sense into the guys with a timeout.

This start is on the coaches - the guys weren't ready.

Another game where there are lessons to be learned but also some positives to take out of it.

There were some system/understanding issues that lead to us giving up a couple of grade A chances that ended up in our net. But once we settled and got back into our systems we played well the back half of the game.

In a game like this you need your top line to step up and they were MIA tonight. I feel like Mark has played much better this year but he has to be able to saw off his matchup against Echiel. Conner was too much on the perimeter and was overhandling the puck. Apelton didn't add much tonight. They need Fly back to drive the puck out of and into the ozone.

Second line played well and could have had another goal or two. Thought Wheeler looked a bit gassed tonight and it lead to some poor puck decisions. Dubois was buzzing all over tonight and Cole continues to look much more comfortable and assertive. He probably should have shot a bit more though.

JoMo was back to last years JoMo tonight. Assertive all over the ice. Pionk with another good night jumping into the play.

Fourth line looks like a line that can generate some chances and possibly some tertiary offense while being responsible.

I still struggle with the third line checking concept in today's game. I'll give them some more time but they aren't checking that well and produce little.

I'll be honest I was expecting a .500 team the first 10 games given the strength of our schedule while learning new schemes. We are tracking right around that Mark.

Out of a hundred...

 

[garret9]

Jets still can't pull a game where both top 6 lines and/or both top 4 pairs are going.

 

[heretik27]

Not that I blame Rittich for the loss, but seeing Comrie play so well kind of stings a bit.

Yup some break downs but I still have no idea what DeMelo was thinking on that first goal. He needs better recognition. He gets the puck on the point and sees all forwards going in deep expecting a rim around or dump amd yet he proceeds to walk in deep and throw a puck at the net with all three in deep. Definitely a mix up but as a vet he should know not to force a play when he knows he has no one backing him up.

Tonight we missed Kovacevic...

 

[surixon]

Wow did Vegas ever get some Homer high dangerous scoring chances counts tongiht. Jets apparently only generated 3 all night which is a joke on there part. One of the reasons I can't trust single game talkies of public data amylonger.

yea, I'm sure his vibes from the pressbox would have been enough for us to win

Was.Samberg injured? I didn't catch the start and notices Sta let was back in.

arneil just said he had a lower body injury and jomo was apparently the question mark

Hey that's fine, crap on me if you want to, but he was serviceable last season.

regardless of whether he was fine or not he wouldn't have been in the line up anyways since it was a lhd injured

 

[gojetsgo]

hoping we get him ehlers and bowness back on sat

Move Schmidt back to his natural LHD position?

Moot point though, as obviously it was not an option. Just trying to blow off some steam after a bad game...
