Post-Game Talk: Jets 2.0 beat Jets 1.0 5-3!

[Daximus]

We definitely have to clean up some things, especially in the 3rd, but we look good and it's comforting having a backup that can play just as well as our starter so far.

I'm not going to name posters but I have been here long enough to notice certain posters lean towards negativity and pessimism by default. It's in their nature. Even when it comes with scouting young players. This helps me adjust to account for that when browsing and posting in game review threads.

There will always be a contingent of fans who think Mo is a bad coach no matter how he does. It's like that on any of the team forums that have a large enough fan base. There is even a contingent of TO fans who think Babcock is a terrible coach.

Maybe Vegas last year wasn't the only team with a bunch of guys having career years.

Player post-game audio includes Blake Wheeler, Josh Morrissey, Laurent Brossoit and Jacob Trouba as well as Coach Maurice.

Oh shit someone said it!

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

if Brossoit keeps playing this well its time for chevy to trade helle and that albatross contract. use that cap space to sign laine

Laine needs to up his game. The way he is playing now does not match his ego or his and his agents contract expectations. Not even close.

Some guys, they just hate for no reason, capisce?

Coaches have so much more to deal with then just play this player with that player. Some players prefer other players, some have ice time expectations, some are in your ear about every little thing. You don't please your players, you end up getting shut out of the room and then you kiss your job goodbye.

Can we all agree that the broadcasting crew revealed some real gems today?

Walks the line like Johnny Cash - Dman walking the blue line
Like a golf ball on a dirt road (probably meant gravel road) - bouncing puck
Jets playing Jazz right now - tons of pressure in the Ozone

I'll be using those in future posts. Remains to be seen if they go back to those in future games - repeatability

Trouba had a real good game, he and Norrissey as a pairing could be something special if he wanted it to be

Broadcasting gold. Beyak and Sawyer really gelling now. I don't think we should be putting Sawyer on another line yet, let's see if they can sustain their play.

 

[GNP]

A new thread needs to be started-- " How to Fix The Jet's first Line' - they have disappeared and playing with no effort and dominance.

 

[DRW204]

Didn't watch the game, happy to see put up 5+ a win but a bit disappointed Ehlers nor Laine potted one. How'd they look this game?

On one hand I'm ecstatic to see Lowry and his line have the scoring touch. However would like to see the jets put up 5+ with the top 2 lines dominate..regardless, a wins a win

Yup, you just don't get beauties like these from the SN guys

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

no its not...jets dont have the cap space to sign laine connor and morrisey....they need to dump some salaries...helle and little are the best options... little has a no trade clause I think.... so helle makes the most sense IF Brossoit can prove himself as a starter

Until Laine proves himself as someone other than justa power play specialist, i dont think so.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Allot of people apparently haven't heard of the notion of "If aint broke, don't fix it. Maybe they are millennials who haven't head of that expression?

They say stuck in your ways
I say tried and true

 

[CorgisPer60]

I reiterate that Laurent Brossoit is making me feel 100× more calm than Mason ever did. you can definitely see the same style of play in Brossoit as in Bucky. Small wonder that they go to the same goalie school in the off-season.

 

[Gotaf7]

If Mo doesn't react after this game then one of two things is happening:

1) He doesn't understand 5v5 hockey at all. Could be even one of those "analytics destroy my enjoyment of the game" guys (which is fine for fans obviously, not least because they get to measure their opinions against the data)

2) His hands are tied either due to the players or the upper management

Or
3) you have no clue what your talking about!

I pick 3

Both had some good opportunities. Not one of Laine's better games though. He had a bad turnover which led to a goal. Other than that, I thought he was playing a decent standard.

Ehlers had a lot of hustle and he had a big chance in a breakthrough, but he didn't get much minutes on the ice. Contributed a lot to one very good PP#2 shift which totaled 9 shots, I believe, unfortunately no goal due to Raanta standing on his head.

In case you missed it:

Best part is Buff in the still frame (well, the hit was pretty good too)

When you hit that good strain

 

[GNP]

Getting goals from our back end is critical--reminds me of what Nashville does with their defenseman, We have defenseman that all can score--like Buff, Morriissey, Myers, and Trouba. I hope we keep getting these back end goals--it's a huge boost !!!

Blues?

Coaches have so much more to deal with then just play this player with that player. Some players prefer other players, some have ice time expectations, some are in your ear about every little thing. You don't please your players, you end up getting shut out of the room and then you kiss your job goodbye.

If certain players want to play together and get a certain amount of ice time then they should back that up on the ice. Every player would love to play 20 mins and with the #1C. The coach has to make sure he is getting the best out of his assets on the ice and putting his team in a position . And repeatedly throwing out a line that had only 7 shot attempts at 5 on 5 in 15 minutes of icetime while giving up ~24 is not the way to accomplish that.

He is playing that line like they are the Barkov line, the Couturier line or the Seguin line... but their results so far this season not including tonight's game have been more akin what they were for a middle of the road 2nd line in the NHL last season (ironically they are pretty similar to where ELL were last season).

And I am not some hater of that line, I defended their usage in the first few games of the season and most of last season.

You in another thread:

Sure, they may have a dramatic improvement like they have had in the past seasons, that does not however mean we can't be concerned about the process in the moment.

Jets lose the Corsi battle 58-42%

Jets lose the xGoals battle 62-38%

Jets a bottom-3 team in the NHL in the season in xGoals %

This game was a moral defeat. Jets only won this and the Vancouver game because of those teams' lack of finishing talent. Against the Leafs this is a 7-4 game.

Wheeler looks awful and that contract doesn't even kick until next season. I have genuine concerns that that contract could be an albatross on this team.

Not trying to be an alarmist but it is time to panic!

I was sick to my stomach watching the Scheifele line thrown out shift after shift after they shat the bed so hard and took 3 penalties.

Mark Schiefele: 21:26 mins TOI

Blake Wheeler: 20:46 TOI

Two players who were 23% and 22% Corsi respectively tonight.

Never stop panicking. I find it weirdly comforting. The more you are worried the more relaxed I feel that everything will turn out alright.
