GDT: Jets vs Blues November 24 - "Is it a one or a two?" - Sat Nov 24, 6PM - Sportsnet

[GNP]

I think the Jets win this game by quite a big margin. They've now blown 2 goal leads against the Oilers, Toronto, and now the Wild, ansd will be pissed right off, and come out smoking mad, and play hard for all 3 periods.

These 3 games we've given up with 2 Goal leads, would have resulted in 6 extra points, had we held on to win them--maybe first place. You'll rarely see the Predadors giving up 3rd period leads.

Key for this game= start Brossoit !!! I'd run him for the next 2 games and sit Helle.

Awesome GDT, Zhammers!

Let's move on from yesterday's stinker and show St. Louis what the blues really are!

And since it looks like we're resurrecting some old superstitions in this thread...

C'mon Jim, do the voodoo that you do so well... for the good guys, of corsi...

 

[surixon]

Does anybody remember if Maurice has ever coached an even spread of ice time for his lines in any of the teams he's coached over the years?

Would be nice to see that starting say, from this game against the Blues! Seeing as we supposedly have a cup contender roster and a lot of quality players.

The 4 game home stand he did a good job of it imo. When he is on the road he tends to focus much more on matchups and thus he gets back into overplaying certain players. Both the fourth and second line have proven they can handle the odd shift against the other teams best players so he shouldn't need to be as rigid on the road. This team is talented enough that he really shouldn't need to have a different coaching philosophy for when the team is on the road. He just needs to let his guys go out there and play.

This is a big game, we need the two points to salvage a .500 road trip.

I'm hoping for a more equitable distribution of ice time tonight, it is a back to back and I doubt it is in the teams best interest to have Scheifele and Wheeler north of 22 minutes a piece.

Edit:

Also free Niku, the bottom pairing has had more then enough chances to turn it around.

 

[Eyeseeing]

With the amount of penalties this team is taking this year there is not a coach in the league that would be spreading the ice time evenly, the guys that PK will always get more minutes.

This is the correct answer

Spoiler Free NHL Highlights

Haven't seen alot of talk about Chiarot, I guess the 3rd pairing is taking the lion's share of the heat but my god, that play at 0.50 really exemplifies his horridness. Just put Niku in, can't be any worse

WARNING, Just don’t read this thread while eating! Especially the Dano turd.

Must win today I’m afraid.

Maurice rides 2 guys so hard each and every game, it's like the he believes we have limited talent beyond 2 players. He is a coach who keeps proving over and over that he can't get the best out of the roster he has been given. He doesn't utilize the teams strengths to maximize our probability of success. Paul Maurice, you are the weakest link!

He rides two guys that aren’t as productive as the Little line. Just looking at the situational play Maurice is leaving his most potent offense on the bench at the oddest time and sending exhausted players out. I haven’t been a big detractor of the coach but he was awful last night.

CLL is you scoring line right now. Play them.

And start benching players who take lazy or stupid penalties. As fans we can bitch about the refs all we like but we deserved most of what we took last night and got away with a bunch more.

Maurice has the ability to change all of this.

 

[one other person]

This is the correct answer

If these dudes can’t stay out of the penalty box then Mo better find or develop some players other than Wheeler and Scheif that he can trust on the PK, stat!

Well he had better start because when we get to the playoffs you can only go so far with a one line team. We’ve seen proof of that.

The butthole of Canada vs the butthole of the States.

I kid, I kid. Let’s go Jets.

 

[PhilJets]

No, only against the VGK in the playoffs IIRC.

This little streak has me feeling like Markku Peltola in "The Man Without a Past", or perhaps Sam Rockwell in "Moon".


Thanks Zham for the creative input!

I thought so...

Reason i keep feeling Jets were not going to lose to Vegas.

Specially 3 in a row.

I waaaaassss wrong!

It is no secret that Maurice has a man crush on Scheifele and Wheeler.

He plays them until they have to crawl back to the bench.

"Crap"tastic GDT Zhamnov! Dano was hilarious and the "trough" brought back some memories of the old barn...

Yesterday's game wasn't "crappy" until the Wild turned things around in the "turd" period.

The Jets need to get "going" in order to make more Stanley Cup "runs" in the future!

Come on guys, let's "flush" them B"loo"s away tonight! Go Jets Go!

Here's hoping we see Croissant in net today. This image also kinda looks like Mr Hankey, so it fits with the GDT

At first I thought this was a turd instead of a croissant with a goalie glove and that it was going to be a Hellebuyck joke.
lol

He is playing them -
Is there a certain instance that he didn't that is bothering you?

The difference in minutes between 2nd and 3rd is mainly PK time - do you want Laine and Connor on the PK more? Probably not.

Do you want want Wheels and Scheif on less? If so, who replaces them. Do you think our 4th line is ready to PK?

With the number of penalties we take, how important is the PK on this team?

What's your plan - this is getting brought up almost every post yet.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

I like a GDT that is both educational and disgusting.
If the Jets lose tonight, it's time for...

GJG

 

[Board Bard]

After the beat down by the Flames some said that the really good teams never have that happen to them and pointed towards the Predators, well they got it handed to them last night by the Blues last night, who we very aggressive with them, expect the same tonight against the Jets who better be ready, that being said I think the Jets come back with a real good game and win provided they don't spend the majority of the game in the penalty box and M&M play is at least decent.

That's a lot to ask for all at once from the Jets. Maybe one or the other, for a period or two at a time. I'd hate to see them strain themselves trying to be professional.

 

[garret9]

Everyone is asking who would PK and I’ve always thought that both Connor and Perreault would be good penalty kill options...

Heck many “prospect” people thought during Connor’s USHL and NCAA years he would develop into a PP2, PK1 Player...

 

[Board Bard]

With the amount of penalties this team is taking this year there is not a coach in the league that would be spreading the ice time evenly, the guys that PK will always get more minutes.

That might be true superficially but the degree to which Maurice takes it is asinine. Practically every game he watches Wheeler getting bagged. All last year he watched it, and over the year had the chance to watch the cumulative effect all of those single baggings had on Wheeler (and to a lesser extent Scheifele). His solution for this year? Be even more asinine. It's like he's blind, though Occam might suggest that, no, not blind, just stupid.

He has the authority to change it. I doubt he has the ability.

It's his version of S&M.

 

[PG Canuck]

Has Brossoit been confirmed to start?

 

[bustamente]

[Ukkosenjumala]

The most frustrating part of being the second most penalized team in the league is that the bulk of the PIM is in the hands of a few players. The top 5 of Chiarot, Myers, Lemieux, Tanev and Buff combine for roughly 50 % of the PIM on the team. Scheifele, Trouba and Wheeler arent far off but atleast they're major contributors to the team. You take a look at that Top 5 and ask yourself if outside of Buff, any of those players are worth the trouble.

 

[Derfel]

This game is going to overtime but I don't know who will win it.
