GDT: Jets vs Preds Round 2 - Game 6 - May 7th, 8:30pm - "Fire on Ice"

[John Agar]

Just wow...

This team knows how to prolong things...

Just wow...

 

[Ducky10]

Same people going to blame the crowd again?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

He was on fire Saturday too.

Meh. It's still hilarious. A guy can be a ghost for who knows how many games, then have two good games and people will go "WHY AREN'T THE REST OF OUR PLAYERS LIKE THAT GUY?".

 

[KingBogo]

Literally only Jet to show up tonight.

I'd throw Scheif and Wheeler in there as well.

 

[kanadalainen]

**** me this stings. This was suppose to be our night. Our party. Unfortunately everyone except the players showed up.

Yes, this was difficult!
Hockey is such a strange sport. Thursday, I like our chances.

All I said was he was the only one to show up tonight. Is that false?

 

[Whodey204]

This has been a team effort. Lots of no shows

 

[BigZ65]

Two, actually. But let's face it: Laine has been horrific.

Should this lead hold, we would have coughed up THREE leads in one playoff series. Inexcusable.

Laine just wants to shoot, he doesn't want the puck otherwise. I can't count how many times his flown by the puck at our blue line or in the neutral zone and watch a Pred take it the other way. He's really developing into a one-dimensional player.

 

[Daximus]

Sometimes your best just isn't enough.

I don't think this was our best.

 

[surixon]

Its games like this that are the reason I was thinking more next year then this year. You need to learn how to put teams away.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Nashville with low expectations is dangerous. I think they confronted losing this series and now have nothing to lose really. I felt like they played like a team that was feeling the expectations in games 1-3 and since they've calmed down. I expect to get pumped (again) in game 7. So many missed opportunities for the Jets in this series, really could have been up 3-0 and then blew 2 home games.

I think this is one of those series where no one holds any momentum. Both teams followed up big wins with stinkers. Anything and everything is on the table later this week. It's a coin flip really. Nashville will feel pressure at home though..no doubt at all...it will be big.

 

[ATLbound]

I'd throw Scheif and Wheeler in there as well.

Scheif had moments but I don't know, looked pretty casual/lazy to me a lot of the night

 

[Derfel]

Next game is next game. We'll see both teams at their best.

 

[Hobble]

Hard to think about how we have had several PP, and no PK and still no goal.

 

[Daximus]

I'd throw Scheif and Wheeler in there as well.

Haven't seen anything I've liked from either of them. But they aren't far behind. Ehlers, Laine and most of the bottom 6 has been useless.

 

[GNP]

Helle has played really good -- big positive for the next game. I think it's good if the Jet's lose like this--so they know they have to give 110% the next game-"no overconfidence"

 

[John Agar]

Sometimes your best just isn't enough.

That was so far from our best...

But I like your outlook...

 

[bumblebeeman]

I blame Chevy for drafting Trouba over Forsberg

 

[Jets2point0]

Joke of an effort. I am so pissed right now. No focus and just playing plain stupid.

This warm Winnipeg weather has them thinking golf

 

[KingBogo]

I don't buy it, we haven't converted our chances but other than that the Preds aren't doing anything special. Yet again they generate very little offense, but get a break and then score on one of their few chances.

Agreed, some bad luck and then things drifted away. Anyone who think the Jets don't have a chance in game 7 haven't been paying attention this season.

 

[Derfel]

Laine just wants to shoot, he doesn't want the puck otherwise. I can't count how many times his flown by the puck at our blue line or in the neutral zone and watch a Pred take it the other way. He's really developing into a one-dimensional player.

Clearly playing with a rib injury, can't breathe right and hurts to hit straight on. All his hits he leads with his backend.

 

[Deif]

Just wait until Maurice draws Hendricks into the game 7 lineup to spark the team.

 

[Hockeyholic]

That first Preds goal and failed pps set the tone. That may ultimately be what costs them. But as I've said, this team has played better on the road this series Now the pressure is all on the Preds. As weird as it is to say, I'd rather them be on the road in game 7 than home.

 

[Maukkis]

Laine just wants to shoot, he doesn't want the puck otherwise. I can't count how many times his flown by the puck at our blue line or in the neutral zone and watch a Pred take it the other way. He's really developing into a one-dimensional player.

I can look at his S% and be optimistic, but when the guy is mostly floating around and shows little urgency and movement, I cannot accept that. At all.
