Interesting to note:

1st goal) Brilliance of Wheeler again, creating so much time and space for Laine to snipe one. Just sucking everyone to the corner (they chose death by Laine this time). Also, it's so deceiving to watch Laine just stand there but he is there because he wants Blake to have that passing lane open, and immediately flips a switch to become terminator once the pass is executed.

2nd goal) LOL @ Laine appreciating the pass. Don't need a lip-reader for that one. 5v3 are pretty much automatic with these guys.

3rd goal) Corsica xGoals model is gonna love that again. Wrister from 190 feet :D. Laine ain't gonna miss that one for sure.

For such a horrible team we are only tied for 2nd in the NHL

It was exactly the same last season, believe we held a 7-3-3 record thru 13, for 17 points. Many concerned posters last season as well, we are winning but.....

Good teams do this, win when they are not hitting on all cylinders. We amassed 114 points last season, an amazing record. To improve even slightly on that would be another amazing season.

If you watch any of the top teams in the league, every game like you watch our Jets, you will see exactly the same problems, winning thru sub par games, goalies covering mistakes. They get points, they continue improving, and by Feb - April, their team games improve and by playoffs they are playing their best hockey.

Say what now? I'm not sure if you are kidding, but I'm fairly sure the Panthers are not gonna give Laine goals just because :laugh:.

In the pre-game thread here, some posters were pontificating about trading Laine for Barkov, in the corresponding thread on the Panthers board, some of their fans seem sick of Barkov and think they can't win with him. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side...

Wheeler really needs to pick up his 5v5 play, but so does our whole team. No one has been particularly good 5v5.

That said, the PP runs through him and you have to respect what he does there. He is dynamite at creating opportunities and making the right play from the half-wall.

Laine needs to work harder if he wants to score 4 goals today. Did you see that weak effort on the opening face-off?

There is currently so many articles and interviews (in Finnish) in the net I couldn't find the one where it was told (based on interview) that both Laine and Barkov were some kind of "shock state" or mezmerized by the appearance of Selänne they both screwed whole thing... :D
