Post-Game Talk: Jets fall to the Stars 5-1

[FinnJet]

Bad hockey.
1st line was ok, but not at their best by any means.
I don't know what kind of alchemy PoMo is trying to do with that second line, but i know that with those ingredients there's never going to be any gold. Zero chemistry!

I really liked how Laine moved out there and kept it going even the score became lopsided. Wasn't the difference maker tonight but it shows he has developed and with right linemates he will flourish. Currently Connor is playing too strong with Scheifele and Wheeler and Scheifele-Wheeler pairing might be the last one Maurice is going to break, so I don't see how there can be any other top line. Perhaps they could try Ehlers - Roslovic - Laine and Perreault - Little - Dano lines with CSW and CLT.

I’d be ok with this, though I’d really like to see what Laine could do with Connor and Scheifele.

Hope died fast during that game.
I'd like to mention where the Jets looked good but all that comes to mind is 1 flurry in the 3rd.
Sad!

Laine 71% corsi.


Wheeler 33% corsi.

Maurice needs to fix the ice time distribution. It’s not normal to play your first line like that.

Myers was on the ice for 4 goals against and in the box for another. That wasn't just bad luck

 

[TopoftheLaine]

Hard to win when only 1/3 of the team looks to be trying.
On a positive note Connor looks pretty amazing early this season

Jets played with no jump, no rhythm, and no heart, and derseved to lose that game. Helle was lousy, and so was the whole team really. The Jet's also took dumb penalties, shades of their old ways. They gotta get their act together,-"fast." They really have to get their discipline in order.

A bright spot to me was Kyle Connor- he hustled and scored a sharp shooting goal. He now has 2 goals in 2 games -- I think he'll get 40 for sure, maybe 50 ?? Perrault should not be on the 2nd line IMO.

I would not at all be surprised to see Maurice put back Ehlers on the 2nd line, and go with last years lineup. I hope they do.

Dallas did play good, with a lot of hustle, and got good goaltending.

Hard to win when they spend like 1/3 of the game in the box. Such stupid penalties, and with the uneven ice time distribution the lines don’t get going. This game was a gong show from top to bottom, from coaching to players.

Was waiting for the Stars to run out of gas... never happened.

Was waiting for Bishop to let in a few softies... never happened.

Jets took too many stupid penalties... Stars didn't and deserved the win.

Onto our home opener on Tuesday... Kings won't know what hit them!

Jets vaunted 4 line deep ran out of gas first

The Jets played like an AHL team tonight.

Make them take the bus back to Winnipeg.

First line was probably getting tired and the others never got a chance to get involved. I’m asking again what good does depth do if it’s not utilized?

St Louis called up Thorburn after their blowout loss. Who do we call up?

 

[FinnJet]

Home Opener, lets change the top 6 up a bit.
Connor-Scheifele-Laine
Ehlers-Roslovic-Wheeler

Or Ehlers-Sheifele-Wheels and
Connor-Roslo- Laine

 

[Royale With Cheese]

St Louis called up Thorburn after their blowout loss. Who do we call up?

Also Thorburn.

 

[Saidin]

Laine-Seheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Little-Perrault
TLC
Whatever is left

Our only goon is Brendan Lemieux.
lol

 

[Tommigun]

I’m a bit concerned over the contracts Chevy has negotiated as of lately. He gave big money and term to Little and Wheeler, and signed Kulikov and Mason to huge deals. I’m not a fan of those, but at least Kulikov and Mason could have rebounded so can’t fault him for trying... maybe. Then he failed to sign Trouba, and Morrissey missed training camp due to contract issues. Look at our D tonight, if he fails to sign either of the first pair Jets will quickly regress.

Connor on the 4th line? That's not right...

I think he should replace Vesalainen ASAP.

 

[Aggie204]

Jets deserved to lose the game. Felt like the Ladd led Jets with all the penalties taken. Won’t dwell on the loss. On to the home opener, hopefully they get their **** together.

As a Jets fan, I feel like Charlie Brown, the football is the optimal line up and Lucy is PoMo

 

[PhilJets]

Myers was on the ice for 4 goals against and in the box for another. That wasn't just bad luck

I know he played bad...

But he wasn't the only player on the ice for those goals.

As a whole except of a couple of players.
Jets was bad.

How about the coaching?
We have superior depth, supposedly.


On to the next game.....

 

[Saidin]

Connor on the 4th line? That's not right...

Is Ehlers on the 4th line right?

We just have a glut of good players... And I don't dare say put Laine on the 4th line. This place would explode.

Probably time to pull the "How long will Maurice Last" thread out of the mothballs
The sky is falling . . . well, at least tonight it was. Two nights ago the same lineup and coach were great.
Fickle fans we are sometimes - all of us

KV wasn't very good, but replacing him wouldn't have made a difference tonight. Jets vets need to play with more poise, and Myers needs to be replaced on D.
