Post-Game Talk: Preseason game 5 = win

[bustamente]

Best preseason game so far, Lambert is going to start with the Moose, I don't think Heinola and Snerg did enough to unseat Stanley

I like it

Good game, Perfetti and Lambert not getting a chance to do much 5v5, still shows how they(Perfetti since Lambert is AHL bound) need a quality C to make plays available, though the breakouts were something. Toninato scored a goal but I can't recall hearing his name after that lol.

Bottom 6 needs an injection of finishing.

The regular season will address this...

Kind of a quiet game from Perfetti and Lambert. I was hoping for some magic with those two guys together.

 

[Guardian17]

The Jets special teams are definitely better.

Gagne with some smart plays.

I like how the Jets limited the Flames attempts to carry the puck in our zone.

Big Save Dave made some great saves!

Both guys that want the puck...

Not a good match possibly...

 

[gojetsgo]

so does harkins get claimed?

 

[rehf]

Game probably should have been closer than it was, but our special teams prevailed tonight (and Rittich was solid).

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

There was a lot to like there. Dynamically, this is a much improved team. I saw far less risky possession against us, lower risk on breakouts/breakaways and zero goals against (across six powerplays). Lambert and Perfetti were 3rd line I think, maybe not the best match. Stan didn't look fantastic, Rittich was great, and Scheifele legitimately impressed me. KFC & Ehlers being their usual selves. Great game.

 

[Jetabre]

too easy

 

[Atoyot]

Highly doubt he's going on waivers.

 

[bustamente]

Bottom 6 is going to be much improved this year, scoring goals should be no problem for out top 6. Looks like Bones has them playing hard top to bottom.

 

[JetsFan815]

Solid game against a mostly veteran lineup.

Scheifele, Ehlers, Connor looking in good form.

Seems like Gagner could provide some X-factor on the PP. I am all for keeping this unit with him together as the #1 PP unit to start the season and have PLD/Wheeler on the 2nd unit.

Stanley not impressing.

I would be surprised. Harkins plays hard, but he's inconsistent. There are so many guys out there like that - pretty much every organization has a few.

 

[Truenorthducky]

We did pretty good against the so-called best defence in the entire league.

 

[surixon]

Well this game showed that this team is still absolutely carried by the drivers. All of the top.line and top pairing were excellent today and drove the bus. Have to keep this up in the regular season.

Cole wasn't as noticeable with the puck tonight but still flashed some skill. What was impressive is that in a game were he didn't generate much he was good a trustworthy away from the puck. He got it out of his end smartly, was in good position and turned pucks over in both zones. At his age he isn't going to have his A offensive game every night bit if you can play off the puck you will still help the team win.

Lambert had some flashes early but faded as the game went on. He got caught running around a bit at times and over handling the puck. He showed very well this preseason but needs some more development time. Likely Moose bound now.

Gus is just not doing much and can't keep up. It's too bad as I like him as a prospect.

Stanley was ok but his puck management needs to really improve. Even when he had time he wasn't making good plays.

I thought Heinola was quite strong all around tonight. I'd have him in the lineup for game 1.

Samberg was also solid but not spectacular.

Hard calling that open d spot as Noone really has claimed it outright.

Barron with a solid game.

 

[MardyBum]

I take solace in the fact they played with the likely 5C. Perfetti at least will get a huge upgrade at wing and C. Lambert showed again he needs to play in the AHL. His issues are the same as Ehlers were when he was young. NHL Ehlers young. Trying to do too much, one on one, that spin shot right out over the goal and into the netting gave me flashbacks .

Work on the small things, I don't want him dangling through 17 year old scrubs all year.

This game made me very happy that Paul Edmonds does radio and not TV broadcasts

Agreed.

Gagner looks to have pretty good hockey IQ, and can read plays as they develop. We don't have a lot of those outside of our elite players.

Stanley, oh boy... I think you have to commit to Heinola and let him develop his defense and confidence. I'm sure Bones can set him straight over the season.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

The thing that impressed me the most was watching the PK. We haven't had that kind of PK in ages. It's the kind of PK I saw other teams implementing and wished the Jets would do something similar for the past several seasons.

Really hoping that's how they'll play this season.

 

[heretik27]

Am I the only one who wanted to see Meanie-lainen drop the gloves there? That stare down had my hopes up, but nothing happened

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This is going to sound sacrilegious, but I think Perfetti needs Wheeler or Connor. At least for now. They just 'get' it for some reason. Stastny probably would've been a good match too, but he's a traitor.

Nah, Stastny is our inside man when we meet Colorado in the playoffs. Just you wait!

 

[Mud Turtle]

I really like Barron’s game. He’s big and quick and looked very good on the penalty kill as well. Especially for his first game of the season.
Out of everyone so far in pre season, I think he’s the best fit for that 3rd line.
Connor and Ehlers together is magic.
Scheifele showing a lot of hustle tonight.

The Jets forecheck never allowed Calgary to wind up as a group and attack. Calgary players were under constant pressure from the Jets. THIS is the way this team needs to play yo he a contender.
Keep it up boys!

Oh, and Mr. Bowness, thank you for bringing back hope for us Jets fans!
