Post-Game Talk: Jets lose to Preds 3-0

[BullLund]

Laine has to move around way more and not just hang out on the left side waiting for one timers.
When most goalies know that his shot is coming they are in position to make the easy save especially when they have a clear view of the shot.

He is much better than he is currently playing and should be scoring in bunches or at least be a threat.

I don't know why they stopped doing what they did last season with Laine switching sides occasionally. It seemed to be working, based on the results.

Right now he's just standing around waiting for a pass. I don't think that's all on him, it just seems like a part of the strategy right now, to have him be responsible for that lane, and nothing more. It's a very basic, one-dimensional strategy for NHL level, to be honest. Rudimentary, beer league level stuff.

 

[Howard Chuck]

I think first he needs more minutes.

Nobody is worth that much who will play so Little.

He’s not playing his game. He’s sitting and and cold and has most of his creativity and confidence squashed. He was a much better player 3 years ago before the nhl.

Now they want him to be something he’s not.

Reflects the coach.

 

[tntkid]

And Matthews for that matter.

Matthews grinds and he is good at anticipating where the puck is going to be.

He does whatever it takes to score.

It is a case of Laine being straight up lazy to be honest and waiting to pick cherries.

He is better than that.

I don't know. Maybe it is. Or maybe it's just the strategy. He can't just move around on his own because of the position he occupies, he'd need someone to replace him. Obviously there's no coordination there, at the moment, perhaps by design.

Go back To Toronto and stop derailing this thread!

I’ll bet he’s doing what he’s told.

I hate games like this, not because the Jets lost. When the refs decide they are going to put on a show it just kills it. The first 15 minutes was exciting back and forth hockey and had the makings of a great game. But the refs decide "nah, let's turn this into sludge". Disgraceful to the league.

One positive, the penalty killing was pretty great.

 

[Derfel]

Refs were bad, but the Jets couldn't score.

4 games in so there is a lot of time to correct the way he is currently playing.

The rest of the team also needs to figure out how to score too and not just rely on Hellebuyck to save their ass every night.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

How are you supposed to score when you spend an entire goddamn period killing penalties? They looked gassed in the third, who wouldn't be.

 

[Atoyot]

Wheeler led, Jets continued the goonery. The original penalty he took was unwarranted. Would have been better off setting a calming tone to the game.

Honestly I think the team played great overall. It's hard to win a game that goes like that.

Playing the whole second period short handed took a lot out of the Jets gas tank for sure.

Agreed. Laine stands out as the major case when it comes to not scoring, because of his goal scorer status, but there are a lot of other guys who haven't opened up scoring.

You expect a little something from Ehlers, Little, Perreault, and even the defensemen like Buff, Trouba, Myers.

 

[Jetster231]

Nashville can't be too pleased with that... 0 for 9 on the PP... That's absolutely horrendous. Jets PK stellar

 

[PhilJets]

Matthews grinds and he is good at anticipating where the puck is going to be.

He doesnt hit

 

[Howard Chuck]

Laine is the first to cover for a roving d. The first one to get back to back check. Sits on the bench. Stays on his side on the pp.

He’s not doing this on his own. He’s doing what he’s told.

Yeah it's a good take away, our PK was outstanding

That was a monumentally stupid penalty by wheeler.

That’s the same game they play every time, The players are mad for some reason?

The chemistry off the team is off right now.
We were a 4 line team last year with a good goalie.

When the Jets figure out their rhythm and start to gel the other team's net will be full of pucks.

 

[snowkiddin]

Refs are definitely partly to blame. Hard to win when short handed for an entire period. In addition, Nashville was getting away with murder all game.

Still, no excuses: we are better than Nashville and have to overcome that.
