Post-Game Talk: Kings laugh, Jets win 6-4

[Jets 31]

Not a good game but those are easier to deal with when you win. Now another highlight from Helly .

I never understood why people complain about empty net points, usually if you get them that means you solidified the win for your team.

Also it’s weird that you never hear people complaining about empty net points when it comes to KC even though over the last 3 seasons he has the most empty net goals and points.

I care more about how bad of a game Wheeler had, he wasn't alone but man he gave the puck away and just played bad. The good news out of this game is i haven't seen our bottom 6 play that well in a while.

 

[UFO]

Helle is the man

 

[DRW204]

this reminded me of the later part of 18-19. nice to get a W of course but oof lol

 

[Guardian17]

Not gonna lie, I went to sleep after the second.

Just too busy this week and not impressed with how we were playing.

Woke up this morning and watched the rest of the game.

Hellebuyck stole this win.

Nice goal by Axel.

 

[TS Quint]

Too many issues to list so I won't even try

Helle steals one - again.
Take it and run.

See you all in the little rink tomorrow night - should be interesting

Kinda funny to hear a Jet fan make fun of the size of another team's arena.

Finally there's a new smallest arena in the league haha

 

[TS Quint]

Bit of a stolen game there, but I liked the second.

Hell boy did his job, et voila.

The first period set the bar pretty low but the 2nd was better than the first. The 2nd period was still far from good.

The bottom 6 played pretty well. I think we can attribute that to our coaches which is nice to see.

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Like it when Helly steals one
We needs those wins cause team in front him is not consistent every night
Lemmy hasn’t changed since leaving the Jets

Our bottom 6 has started to produce the last couple games. Def. Nice to see

And Scheifele has been very good so far this year.

Its very nice to see. When the unsung excel, the team will do very well indeed. I really cannot conspire to tie my knickers in a knot when the team comes back to win a game like this.

 

[bustamente]

Just a note we have played 7 games so far this year and our record is 4-3, unless some have seen into the future and know this weekends results

Thankfully the bottom six did play well. I know it's still early in the season and the Jets are doing well all things considered (new coaches, absent head coach, Ehlers out, quality opponents). However, I agree with your comment about Wheeler. To my eye (I have no clue as to how his analytics are looking.), Wheeler is slower, fumbles the puck more, and seems less agile than in the past. I understand that he's traditionally a slow starter but I am concerned. When Ehlers returns, I'd consider a revamping of the top six which might include demotions for Appleton and Wheeler which would mess with the bottom six....maybe not a "bad problem" to have. Of course, it's easy to be critical from, my vantage point (my sofa with a beer in my hand, last night not this morning).

And Scheifele has been very good so far this year.

If Chef keeps playing this way, I can break out My Scheifele Heritage Jersey and wear it again....

I went to bed after the first...

Woke up at 3 am and watched the recording...

Chaotic, but great outcome... Helle is a thief...

Shout out to Jets who played well in spite of possible gaffs that helped put the Jets behind the 8 ball...

Helle of course... Dubois he made up for his repeated noodle stick gaffs... Barron was great all night as was Lurch and Sak Man... Jo Mo was a force in transition... and Flowbee was a constant pest and got an ugly goal...

On to the Mullet Arena...

PS... the Laffs lost to San Jose....

We won't get this opportunity very often so take advantage if it

You don't hear much about KFC's defensive deficiencies either...don't hear much about how many games Ehlers misses due to injury in a season either.

 

[JetsUK]

By the end of the season Helle will be able to open his own leather jacket boutique..

Like dis, mebbe?

It's mid-aft where we are and I'm trying to explain to a colleague what ice hockey looks like with some highlights from last night's game.

Her response: "Why is your team running away?"

 

[DRW204]

i still am a bit concerned of this top-pair for the long run this year, really this team defensively as a whole. samberg also didn't look good this game either. no one really looks good in a game you get out-shot 44-19 though, but thought samberg should've at least been a bit more steady given who the much maligned alternative is. stanley did play relatively well the game prior.

 

[bustamente]

ATM I'm not seeing it with Samberg he is giving me strong Poolman Jr. vibes, maybe needs more playing time and experience. I'm not expecting an offensive explosion but his defending and positioning needs to get much better

Samberg did struggle a bit last night but it can't be easy playing once every 4 games especially for a young defenseman .

Yeah that's something to consider for sure. Especially against a team id consider that plays a quicker puck movement game like the kings. Reminds me of heinola last year getting his that game against FLA after sitting for like 2-3 weeks?

 

[Jets 31]

Jets were down 3-1 on the road and came back to win the game in regulation against a Western Conference team. I love the fact we have a goalie that can win us some games, there are alot of teams that don't .

Yep -- and that was pretty much all she wrote.

I think the pecking order now is pretty clear, but it would be nice to see someone on that 3rd pairing get in a decent run of games. I'm not sure Samberg is 100%, based on some of the difficulty he seemed to have last night with acceleration and some pivots.
