Disappointing effort. Looks like that game where we outclassed Detroit had more to do with them being on the tail end of a long road trip and tired than the Jets dominating them.
Bigger problems on this team than goaltending as evidenced by the performance tonight. Chicago dominated in puck possession and seemed to have the puck in our end 60% of the night.
We're in a stretch of tough games right now and it's pretty apparent that the Jets can't win games against the top teams in the division. Compete for the most part, yes, but win?..NO, at least not yet. I' m curious to see how we can do against the Eastern Conference, particularly the weaker teams....
which is why I don't understand why people here are blaming the coach entirely for the poor play of the team and want him fired. Let's see how this plays out once the Jets have gone through all the teams in the NHL. Maybe they boost their record above .500...
And it's not Noel's fault that the players show a lack of awareness particularly Wheeler turning the puck over in his own zone resulting in a goal and Buff picking yet another awful time to pinch on the left side of the ice, caught out of position and allowing Sharp to go in alone on goal and score.
What's with the outcry about Kane?! Maybe he wasn't ready to play. Guy thought he was ready, but the coaches felt different. Oh, let's blame Noel for that too because Kane would have made such a huge difference tonight!
Honestly, I love the groupthink or rather groupblame in these Jet forums. I've noticed even the mods are getting in the act too. Blame Noel for not playing Montoya so he plays Montoya and now everyone blames Noel for the lack of awareness and poor decision-making of players on the team!
Maybe, just maybe, this collection of players isn't good enough yet and it's not the coach's fault. Maybe, just maybe we should wait until the Jets face a few more teams before we fire Noel - like at least half the season.
