Only if its the last game. If Trouba gets the game winner in game 6 ... all is forgiven. Helle gets a shutout in game 7 ... nobody cares about one bad game.In a playoff series, crapping the bed in one game is the difference between being on the verge of elimination vs being on the verge of moving on to the next round.
The sad part is even if he had frozen the puck for a faceoff ... the Blues owe the Jets on faceoffs.
You cannot blame one player for the loss ... the Blues wanted the game more than the Jets and it showed at the end.
It seems every time its a close game ... one Jet mistake and its in the back of the net.
**** happens we are all pissed over that loss ... hell I could not even sleep last night.Actually I'm not even blaming Trouba for the loss, I'm really blaming him for not getting the game into Overtime. And even if we had gotten to Overtime, the Jets very easily still could have lost. Trouba's attempt to freeze the puck cost us the chance to reorganize and come out differently in the Overtime.

Binnington had a bad game 3 right?
Since the shot was in process and would have been on net and Buff was responsible for Sundqvist knocking the net off the moorings, it's a goal.
63.6 Awarded Goal - In the event that the goal post is displaced, either deliberately or accidentally, by a defending player or goalkeeper, prior to the puck crossing the goal line between the normal position of the goalposts, the Referee may award a goal.
In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have been displaced by the actions a defending player or goalkeeper, the puck must have been shot (or the player must be in the act of shooting) at the goal prior to the goal post being displaced, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts.
Binni had a rough game 3, yes. A lot of that was because the Jets made him very uncomfortable. He folds when pressured with bodies and pucks. For some reason, the Jets often default back to a dump and chase, perimeter shot game that makes his life very comfortable and easy. If we do that in Game 6, it's over.
This is not true -
Trouba rarely gets called out - as would be expected.
Myers, Chia, Kuli, Morrow, etc get called out on a regular basis around here.
But it just so happens Trouba had a coupel of tough spots last night that arguably cost us the game.
Trouba was bad last night at the end but he was pretty good up to that point. He was probably our best D last night until the last 20 seconds of the game. And yet, numerous people are now happy to run him out of town.
seriously?Our nhl record number of blown 2 goal leads in a single season increases

I know I'm a Blues fan in a Jet's forum but I want to disagree with your Binnington assessment. Yes, he gave up 6 (most goalies would have been pulled after 4) but, other than the Buff goal, those were not ones I would put on Binnington but on a crappy playing team in front of him.
1st goal. Hayes through traffic right after he stopped point blank shots from Little and Perrault
2nd goal. Laine by himself in the slot.
3rd goal. Connor PP goal from the circle on a cross ice pass.
4th goal. Tanev on a skate blade deflection
5th goal. Buff off the head.
6th goal. Connor again. I don't remember that one but I don't think it was on Binnington.
I thought we could use a little good news today, the Jets ECHL affiliate was able to hold on to a 3rd period lead last night!

He doesn't get paid in the playoffs. Coincidence?Ehlers is as useful as a bag of ice in the Arctic whenever the playoffs roll around. How do we justify paying that guy $6 million? If the Jets want to pay someone $73,000/game to skate around, get no points and no hits, then I will be more than happy to get that job.
Funny, I tried to look up Doughty highlights in the playoffs for the last three years and I can only find one season's worth in which they got swept. What happened there? (Though if I'm being honest, he had a respectable CF% but an atrocious xGF% along with the rest of the team.)
I'm not hellbent to tell a story. If anything I'm the one trying to provide the context by trying to bring in the other thousands of minutes of Trouba's play to your few!
This is about to turn into Gardiner situation real quickly. We've already lost Enstrom and are still feeling the aftereffects. I dare you to tell me we would be a significantly better team without Jacob Trouba logging heavy minutes on the blueline and instead have Myers, or Niku, or Poolman taking that available ice time. But I guess we'll find out next year since he's a for sure goner eh?
Beyond ****ing stupid. He had almost 2 seconds to do ANYTHING else with it.
Another case as to why stats are bull**** most of the time in the hands of people hellbent to tell a story.
