Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Mild 3

[Ggg99]

Well that was groovy. The fellas were good.
Vilardi and Monahan are huge upgrades.
And our favorite Ginger pots one.

You want stats? Here's some stats for ya...

Nobody got injured or suspended.

"Brad Lauer? Yeah I've heard of the guy."
The Lauerplay is red hot. Don't take a penalty against the Winnipeg Jets or it's going to burn your team. Please keep making us all pay for our doubts Brad.

Money Money Monahan only cost a 1st? Someone tent Kent Hughes his pants are around his ankles.

Minnesota scored 7 more goals against the Canucks, who are the best team in the league. They could only score 3 against The Boys in Double Blue, so who is really the best team in the NHL? (Especially when you consider those same Canucks couldn't handle The Jets on Saturday night.)

The only reason The Jets play so poorly in Calgary is because the Flames play inside a giant saddle. That's something Polly Pocket would do.

Structure and sensibility don't hold a candle to winning. Right now Winnipeg Jets hockey is ridiculous but it's damn fun and there will be no late season nose dive.

Logan 'The Tower of Terror' Stanley might be a faulty tower, but he's our tower damn it! The kid's got Mankind WWF title run energy about him.

LB ain't a backup, we just call him one.

I can't wait until Marc Andre retires.

Here's the nastiest mash to toast these nasty Jets. The chains are off!

People were mad giving up a late first that highly likely doesn't turn into anything for Monahan. Who now has the second most goals on this team.

Good response after that shitty game yesterday. Jets still aren't controlling the play like we're used to them doing so. They continue the run of letting the other team cycle and create HDZ chances. Feels too much like Maurice hockey for my liking. Puck management is an issue for sure. I don't hate Stanley coming in tonight, but question the roster decision that went into it.

At least Pionk didn't have as bad a game, but his was far from the worst game I saw. That top 6 is in dire need of a shake up. They are porous defensively and are out of sync. As annoying as it is, Ehlers isn't playing any better than Vilardi to get him on to the top line. Chef's attention to detail in the DZ is waning as well, which can't carry KFC at all.

But hey, we really chose Stanley over Chisholm. Chisholm looked like an NHL defenseman. Good for him. Jets could use another puck mover on the back end. Instead, Cheveldayoff is going out to trade for one that's been tested in the rigors of the post-season.

A wonderful dink is the Harterman
His rump has more brains than his cranium
The more his stick spins
The less his team wins
And the Jets climb the standings in front of them

Big fan of Monahan. If he keeps this up, it would be nice to lock him up for a few years. He's such a smart player, always knows where he needs to be.

4 out of 5 twerkz on dat win

x4

 

[Mud Turtle]

Pretty decent game but we needed Brossoit to be good.

Kyle Connor with the worst +- on the team. -5.
I’m not super familiar with +-. Can someone tell me if this includes power plays or not?

Because if it does, that’s a real issue for this team. If so, I can’t imagine what his 5on5 +- is. Several big defensive lapses again tonight.

 

[kanadalainen]

Coelacanth of the game:

This is unusual, but the award goes out to the entire third line.

#17 Lowry, #22 Apples, #62 Nino

They won this game with great consistent play all the way. Nino's empty netter was all thanks to the runaway Mack truck vibe that Lowry brings - the beGuiled wouldn't try too hard to check him.

Was expecting Hartman to get his face punched in. Little disappointed. (unless I missed it?)

His wounds are all Psychological now... Its better this way. They last longer.

 

[hn777]

Vilardi was benched for Iafallo in the end of the 3rd. He didn't look too happy after the game

 

[Jet]

Yay we can start whining about losing Chisholm now!

Bones has to figure out how to get the boys locked down again

 

[raideralex99]

What a difference 24 hrs makes … I had to double check to make sure I was at the right Jets board the other one yesterday was doom and gloom.

 

[JetsFan815]

Brossoit fantastic. Deserves a lot of credit

PP good.

3rd line with a great effort, during parts of the they were the only line doing anything positive.

2nd line not great but strung together some good shifts in the 3rd.

Top line was as the folks on the main boards call it these days is "horror bad". That is not how a real contender's 18-20 mins a line plays. This continues their run of not being able to out chance or outscore opponents since being reunited.

Like I said in the GDT, I didn't expect them to be great after watching them in the Pittsburgh/Philly games but they have been even worse than my low expectations. Their underlying numbers are at the level of the old Scheifele-Wheeler lines playing in front of the Morrissey-Poolman pairing after Wheeler had lost a step level bad and the eyetest agrees. If Bones doesn't do anything about it, we are headed for a 1st round exit.

Watching Connor for me now is giving me Laine/Myers level of frustration.

Iafallo had to get his daily cardio in.

 

[bustamente]

3/5 Stickmen tonight, the Mild bore me. LB made some huge saves tonight, Monahan impressive, Vilardi impressive and streaky, Ehlers spinning his wheels, Vladdy does the little things and now fights. Slammy continues his fine play, PP okay. Third line goodness. Jets were outplayed for stretches in this game but where it counts they came out winners. Keep collecting points

It looks like another Chev master class so far. I was critical of him last year, but since the off season he's been doing everything right. Monahan is money and looks like the perfect addition to the forward corps. Very smart player.

 

[SUX2BU]

We beat who, Joe?

 

[kanadalainen]

Ok boys and girls

You know its CLUTCH time.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

yeah i thought we were gonna have an OT game for sure, 3 goal win is better

we can prolly flip Mony for a Lindholms + a 1st

 

[SCP Guy]

Gabe’s interviews are something else … He has the same look on his face as they guy standing outside a shoe store holding his wife’s purse.

 

[kanadalainen]

Got it done. Winz R gud!

Gud like heavy borsht. In morning. From cup not bowl.

 

[snowkiddin]

Fun game to attend, crowd was rocking, seemed pretty packed, too.
