Post-Game Talk: Good Burmi Jets win 5-2

[Aavco Cup]

Tonight the eye test matches the fancy stats

Has Burmi finally figured this game out? Really impressive for a while now! The points are a bonus but his d-game is on par and he is making quick little effective plays all over the ice.I am glad we have him for sure for another year we need him in our top 9 for at least one more year.

Great game everyone played good except Thorburn.
I liked the play of the D-men ... Trouba has upped his game ... they better keep him. Postma also was good ... it's too bad he didn't score. If he plays like that I can't see why he can't be the 6th D-man.

Thoughts on Burmi:

Coming back to the Jets wasn't easy.
Playing on the fourth line mostly.
Dano may be a good match with Burmi language and experiences!
Maybe Dano was also added as a possible bonus for Burmi.

Your thoughts?

Coach Maurice post-game scrum topics: Performance of Michael Hutchinson. Did he like the pace of his team? Unlocking the scoring potential of Marko Dano. Seen a boost since he’s moved him to the top 6? What does he like from Tyler Myers game? Players stepping up at this point in the season. Scheifele having the hot hand. Status of Dustin Byfuglien? What did he like from Julian Melchiori?

My thoughts are that it just seems like since Ladd and Little out of the lineup Burmi has been playing with more confidence and attacking the net more. Don't know why that would give him more confidence, but just seemed like that was when his game changed.

Where would I find what Burmis corsi has been over the last 10 or so games?

I think we should give some big time credit to Perreault. He seemed to get Ehlers going and now working magic with Burmi

He's getting more opportunities now methinks.

Why you give Peluso a two year and Thorburn a three year is beyond me. That's just terrible management, nevermind why ou give Thorburn over $1M even. Rather embarrassing.

I 100% agree with you that it's just bad decision making to give those type of contracts.

That said, if you are going to make mistakes on contracts, that's the better place to make them.

Absolutely I agree and no knock on Perrault.

Trouba 24:47
Enstrom 22:54
Myers 22:21
Chiarot 16:32
Melchiori 16:30
Postma 14:20

Are you kidding me. Postma was completely dominant tonight and couldn't get more icetime than the tire-fire that is Melchiori.

I think Perreault has moved into that role of "get players going" that Frolik and Wellwood played in the past.

 

[Hobble]

Damn. If only this team would abandon this winning culture and embrace a more care-free, losing culture to properly tank.

 

[csk]

great game he will get another assist added by nhl im sure as they didnt give anyone an assist on myers goal.

he was hitting making nice plays and mucking it up in front of the net. kinda like a mini ladd

He wasn't on the Ice for that goal. Upon watching the replay it's Kosmo that should have an assist added.

 

[Atoyot]

Not so sure they will. Scheifele was robbed of an assist on the road earlier in the year on a similar play.

Every goal is reviewed by the league and they retroactively add and remove points all the time. Very likely that if Scheif should have gotten an assist, he did, and I'd bet good money that assists are added to Myers' goal.

Language and experiences? Burmi is Russian. Dano is Slovak.

Burmi just keeps getting better lately and Dano is looking more and more comfortable.

But .... but, I thought Burmi didn't have a shot.

Over the last ten games Burmi has been at 58.5% Corsi For%

Has more to do with Trouba and Myers on the right side ahead of him getting the minutes. He's kinda stuck where Trouba's been behind Buff and Myers. This is pretty much exactly why I don't see Myers being a Jet for much longer. He's got trade value and Trouba has shown he can handle the step up in competition and ice time. We just have to get him a long term partner that doesn't need sheltering. Maybe Myers goes for a LHD? Maybe he goes for a forward? Morrissey/Buff, Enstrom/Trouba, Chiarot/Postma as our defense pairings doesn't sound all that bad. A nice mixture of veterans and youth in those pairings. Stu as a 7th D.

Fair enough, though if it we up to me I'd have kept Trouba on the left.
I think a Trouba-Postma pair would be really good

It might work out, but I think Mo wanted to see him in his natural position playing the top minutes against the best players Vancouver had tonight. If you play him with someone who already has that experience rather than to throw him in there with a guy who maybe gets 12-15 minutes at best on the bottom D pairing you probably get a better assessment of his readiness. Hence, why they might be using this time to see if they can make Myers an expendable asset in the off season.

Did Scheifele just age 10 years or is it just me haha

Helmet crease across the forehead
Nice little shiner under the eye
A bit of scruffiness... he's finally growing some facial hair

Next year he'll be able to grow a playoff beard

He is playing with better players and he is playing with confidence.
