GDT: Jets @ Blues • Mon Nov 16, 7PM • Scottrade Center • "Go Jets Go!"

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Coming in to watch the Jats game now. My Habs came back to win in overtime 4-3. Now it's your turn. Winning is fun

Penalty kill Pardy...good to have him back.

 

[AlphaLackey]

You know what refs need to start doing?

If it's a close play and the refs see it but decide they aren't calling a penalty, shout out "SAW IT!".

I think a big part of the difficulty of knowing how the refs are gonna call a game is that you don't know if the ref missed it, or if the ref saw it but decided it wasn't a call.

And I'm aware I'm probably giving a MONUMENTAL amount of credit more to the refs on this one. But I'm a world champ at Devil's Advocate and I'll swing at every pitch.

Way to bail out the refs guys.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I'd like to know what that idiot was thinking.

His whistle was burning his hand, so he put it to his mouth to cool it off.

 

[JC Numminen]

Does the NHL ever talk to refs after blown calls? Or are they just let go?

 

[jetsforever]

I think the Jets' penalties have become a self-fulfilling prophecy with the refs now 'seeing' more penalties since they know the Jets are a 'dirty' team.

More an issue of punctuation.

Not so much "What was the referee even thinking?" as it was "What? Was the referee EVEN thinking??"

 

[Duke749]

He was probably listening to the Blues announcers calling for Perreaults head from the previous shift and decided to call the first thing he could think of against the next Jet he saw.

Funny considering he's always the one on the end of cheap shots.

To be fair he headlocked a guy off the faceoff and ripped his helmet off... lol

Did not see that but assumed something had happened.

 

[Duke749]

Dam. Wheeler with a great look.

 

[JC Numminen]

This has been a great period. Looks like a much different team from the start of the game.

Get this thing tied up please.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

C'mon Jets now score!

 

[heretik27]

I don't think the guys have played a bad game really tonight, but the Blues don't have the forchecking speed that Nashville and Minnesota do which gave us fits. I think we just match up well against them. Effort is certainly better tonight though.

I'm fairly certain they are at least tracked for purposes of selecting post-season games. But I've always maintained that referees should be liable to be fined. If a player's conduct can besmirch and embarrass the league, blowing an obvious call and/or making a ridiculous call out of nothing but pique (that GM against Little against Calgary, the one the ref COULD NOT CALL ACCORDING TO THE RULE BOOK, being a prime example) then they damn sure should be a little lighter in the pocket for their incompetence and/or unprofessionalism.

 

[JetsFan815]

Pardy is so much better than Stu and that's not even counting them dangles

 

[White Out 403*]

TSN showing wrong stats for goalies

 

[Duke749]

Win or lose, this has been a much better effort and we can build off of it.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Definitely. Even if the score holds, I can feel somewhat less disgruntled coming home. Every team's gonna have rough streaks. That's why we play 82 games, not 20.

 

[heretik27]

Enstrom finally playing in between the player and the net. Too often he's caught reaching for the puck with his stick when the safest play is to just take the man.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

back and forth hockey. Jets are trying to open it up

 

[AlphaLackey]

WOW.

In the immortal words of Jerry Lee Lewis:

Goodness, gracious, great wall of Myers!

 

[Whileee]

Ladd stinks.
