Post-Game Talk: Laffs 1 Jets 0 in OT

[LowLefty]

There's lot of players like that in the nhl. He just joins the list of the rest of the mid (or worse) 4th liners. He started the season showing promise but were 20 games in now 0g 1a. On the basis that the PLD trade was supposed to supply additional scoring depth, 2/3s of the players from it really ain't doing much.

Yup - I'm not saying he's great - just like the player and hope he can figure it out.
I don't get too attached to players so it's not like this is a love affair - but there still might still be something there and I'd like to see it happen.
It's a long shot - can't argue with the results

We played great, just needed an early goal. Needed to bury those chances. Scoring early on samsonov is key because he's not the most confident goalie.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

We could not score one goal against the worst goalie in the NHL. The power play failed again. The offense on this team is not deep.

This is an odd take.

Samsonov was fanastic tonight. Bro too.

 

[Atoyot]

Meh. Best game the Jets have played in awhile. Bad luck not to win it.

 

[Jets 31]

It's a few games. Overall this season, he is the worst. See goals above expected.

The offense is averaging around 1.5 goals per game since Scheif went down 7 games ago. Morrissey just went down this game and vilardi a couple games ago. This is not a very deep team offensively.

Whenever Scheifele has been out our offense dries up , not only this season. But this is a very good team defensively, in past seasons without Scheifele, one of our top wingers , our best offensive defenseman and our backup goalie in net we would have lost 7-3 .

this post is satire right?

Oh its just the usual tripe we see when the Jets lose.

Yeah, Pionk blew the pass up the ice, Ehlers was winding up, and chaos.

Pionk had to step out and take a couple of strides before making that pass. Too easy to pick off in that situation

 

[Jet]

I see Leafs fans in here trolling wth emojis.

They should be planning their hydration routine for when they're in tears after being bounced in the first round again.

 

[Jets 31]

We play a great team the other night in Boston and can talk back and forth with their board and have alot of fun, Toronto no such luck.

Now that guy is DMing people, wow get a life.

Report the conversation and we'll get that rectified.

Yes you did - and I don't think or didn't say he was horrible tonight.
Over all, it was a good team game - and that's how I'm measuring our team right now.

It's pretty obvious that Bones wants to come out of this injury glut with the team staying on message - so I'm looking for the effort that each of them are putting in to do that. I think Cole has more to give - it's not a shot at him but more of an ask that he ramps up his game a bit when things get tough and I don't know if he does much of that - probably a learning curve thing. He'll learn from these experiences - and if he wants to be an impact player, he'll go out there and lead by example regardless of who he is saddled with - I think that'll come.

He didn't make any mistakes, and I think he worked hard all night tonight, he also created a few offensive chances and flashed some skill a few times. Hard to be an impact player with 13 mins of ice, no PP time and no OT ice, all while playing with 21 and 9.

I agree you should be able to play well with any one regardless of 4th liner or 1st liner, however it is much harder to produce and look good when you are playing with lower players in the lineup. I guarantee you Scheif, KFC, Fly etc wouldn't look as good if they were playing with those guys as opposed to each other and playing the minutes they were.

Agreed, we saw how Fly looked in a similar situation when he was marooned with Thor around the same age Cole is now. It wasn't pretty.

At the end of the day there are 4 other players on the ice with you and caliber of teammates as well as deployment has a big impact on production and how well someone looks.

Missed the game - on the bright side our power play didn't lose us the game...

What happened to Morrissey

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Lots of hot takes in this thread. Jets missing their 1C 1G 1D and top winger. Still stuck to their structure and could have easily won. Step off the ledge.

And even if we had shut them out, so what? The SN graphic tomorrow would have read “if you don’t count the times that the Leafs scored zero goals, they haven’t been shut out since the days that they had to wait for the horse to drop the puck”.

It's like they're playing against cardboard cutouts. Every single thing that happens is either the result of incredible Leaf talent or of an inexplicable Leaf mistake.

 

[Andy6]

It is kind of amazing that the Leafs are now further from their most recent Stanley Cup than the Rangers were when their rival fans used to taunt them with the "1940!" chant. Not to mention that the Rangers are already 30 years into their next cupless streak. (Admittedly, Winnipeg's last Stanley Cup was in 1902, but the Avco Cups were almost as good.)

When JoMo did that to Wheeler, he missed 5 weeks.

Posters should be happy with the way the Jets played. They outplayed the Leafs, and only allowed 1 goal without their 3 best players. Also Brossoit is proving to be as good as any starting Goalie in the NHL right now, which is huge.

You will win "far more games " than you will lose, only allowing 2 goals against on average. As soon as our regulars are back in the lineup, the goals will come. We're in great shape.

Be great if Chevy could trade for a scoring 2nd line center, before the trade deadline, that will really make this club great.

 

[snowkiddin]

Honestly happy with the effort considering how many guys down we are

 

[WolfHouse]

Can't say sportsnet is biased... three jets stories on page one including the lead article!!! We've finally made the big time!!!

Honestly happy with the effort considering how many guys down we are

Hey cmon the Leafs are struggling without key players like Murray, muzzin and klingberg

 

[macmaroon]

I made a few errors last night in tabulating the Prediction Contest standings, and they have now been fixed. Please check your guesses from last night's game to make sure that I have given you the correct amount of points... I am sorry for the problems this has caused...

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Another takeaway for me is that, as much as Namestnikov is not a 2C, he's also not a 1C.

Who should be the 1C with Scheifele out? They do not have one. Chevy knows what must be done but can it be?

 

[Jets 31]

With 3 of our best players out, down to 5 defenseman almost the entire game and our backup goalie in net how can anyone be upset with that game other than the officiating . Yes we aren't a offensive machine but we are one of the best defensively in the NHL and a 30-11-5 record. Get our players back, figure out the PP and we are looking pretty damn good. 7-2-1 in our last 10 games, mostly without Scheifele, and a plus 41 goal differencial that is second best in the entire NHL . Oh and in 1st place in our division with games in hand on Colorado and Dallas.
