Disagree completely, I think how poorly he played is being blown out of proportion. He is a much better option that Chiarot and Morrow, especially at home. He can be better but the Jets need his game much more than what the other two provide. They need to ride with Enstrom, he's their best option against a fast team like Nashville.
Lol, all the talk about how bad Enstrom was and no talk of the Myers clown show.
The high event crowd is out in full force.
Lowry came across a bad case of Little-itis. Its happened before with other players.Out third period was our best period of the series so far. Partly because they sat back and played 6 goalies, Jets style. But we looked gassed and worn out in overtime. I think we are a lot more banged up then the Preds, not even counting who is sitting out for us, I just mean in lineup. Hoping the guys can keep pushing. Wheels is clearly hurt and has been so so, Laine is hurt we know he missed practices and he looks either a nagging injury or just completely out of gas. Lowry has been weak since the start of the Wild series. And seems to be getting worse game by game. Not sure if Connor is hurt or just struggling. We are still hanging in and look good, but we need some guys to step up. Connor, Ehlers, Little are 3 big ones for me. Buff (for most part) Tanev, Helly and Scheif are carrying us so far this series. But that double overtime was a first for us, that Preds team has had to push through
Games like that a lot the past couple years. Learning experience of what it takes for us

He needs his optimum linemates, Copp and Tanev, you wouldn't play Lanie with Roslo and Little and ask him to play his best.I'm not sure why people are slagging on Little. He has 4 points in 7 playoff games in more of a depth role. Hard to complain too much with those results. I think Lowry needs to own his own play.
He has?...Like when?It's the playoffs man high events count for a lot. I'm not overly upset with Toby but I certainly think we wouldn't be losing a whole lot with Morrow in. I'd keep him in.
Myers hasn't been great with the puck breaking out either but in our own end he's been really good
I think for the most part without the Johansen play, people are having a different conversation. He was barely a topic of conversation after game 1, didn't play much different really.I don't think its been that blown out of proportion. He seems a step slower to me which is impacting his ability to defend like he can. More favorable matchups at home should help a bit.

The decline is real because he got beat 1v1 against a very good player? Seriously? Enstrom has declined over the years in aspects of his game but this is complete hyperbole. Jomo got completely walked by Arvidsson, I assume that's also inexcusable? Probably not, because Helle made a save.I always defend Enstrom because he does so many subtle things that don't get credit. But him getting completely undressed by (I forget who) was inexcusable and unusual to see. He has always been so good with his stick defending the rush. The decline is real.
Having said that, he's still better than Morrow that's for sure. Morrow looks good when he's bombing the puck but make sure to avert your eyes when he's relieving pressure in the D zone. Enstrom is a wizard at breaking out the puck.
It's interesting I had never really heard the name Johanson that much except for in the last 2 years. Is he a superstar? As I am familar with names like Seguin, and Crosby, Ovie, Malkin but the name Johansen doesn't really ring any bells till now that we are playing Nashville. Is it because Nashville is too small of a market to get as much media attention?The decline is real because he got beat 1v1 against a very good player? Seriously?

This just in, the NHL has a lot of really skilled forwards who are really, really good with the puck and are capable of beating defenders 1v1. Not sure how getting beat by a guy of Johansen's calibre qualifies as "inexcusable". I'll also add, it would benefit most people to watch that entire play again, Enstrom was put in a terrible position to defend that by Scheifele, he was completely caught against the flow of play, had to try to re-establish his gap and come halfway across the ice because Buff got caught moving forward by the Scheifele play as well.
Scheifele knew what he did, he wasn't pissed on the bench after the goal because Enstrom got burned.
The reason it stands out for Enstrom is because defending with his long stick is one of the two things he is supposed to be able to do really well. In this case, he needs to make that play or what is he bringing to the table. Morrow can get walked the same way or maybe just maybe he can physically impede him.The decline is real because he got beat 1v1 against a very good player? Seriously?

Absolutely JoMo brings more, no question. Enstrom is one of the best Jets defenders between the blue lines, doesn't mean he's perfect. Anyway, people keep focusing on the same thing, so much more happened on that play but scapegoats are easier.

Jomo got walked, yes, but he brings so much more. This I think we can agree on.
