Great post. Blows a hole right through the idea that some people cling to that the only reason Vegas beat us last year was because of Fleury. Bottom line, we had fewer quality scoring chances than Vegas, though we threw a bunch of low quality shots on goal. Guess how you get a goalies SV% up? Throw a bunch of low quality shots on goal. Washington on the other hand used the well known strategy to get traffic in front of Fleury and crash the crease - works every time against Fleury. All you have to do is do it.
Hopefully against Binnington we won't just drift a bunch of easy shots through and then complain about his SV% costing us the series.
I would to see a reduction of shots on our net, to me it has been rather high.
I try to be positive as I can, but today I am just feeling deep skepticism. The way the jets played the last 20 games will catch up with them. I sense a major ass-kicking coming. I have almost zero enthusiasm for these playoffs.
It also maybe better for the franchise if they do lose and change can come. I don't think the status quo will serve us well feel going forward.
I don't think I have ever felt more cynicism and negativity toward the Jets since they returned to the city.
Good teams don't 'flip switches'. That is such a stupid f ****** attitude.

I feel the same as you, feel despondent, it's just not the loss it's the last half of the season combined with the beginning of the series. I'm sure everyone here has taken a class in university where by half way point you knew there's no way you're going to end up with an A or A+, that you just don't have the range for the material to get an A+, the best you can do is a B, a B+ if everything goes right, that's what the feeling is for me with regards to the playoffs. Last season and even in the 2015 season it felt like anything could happen, this year is not the same feeling.
If a genie showed up tomorrow and offered a bargain that we'd get our 1st round pick back in exchange he'd modify the universe to make it so we never made the playoffs I'd be inclined to accept that bargain.
Many people want to put this on easy targets like Maurice or bit players like Myers and Kulikov but I don't think the answer is going to be that simple. During the early seasons of Jets 2.0 the top-6 was great and almost all the problems of the Jets were the goalie, bottom-6 and #6D- all problems that could theoretically be addressed with a good offseason and a couple of good trades. Right now the problem is not the bottom-6 or players at the fringes of the lineup or the goalie, the problem is the star players, something much harder to fix.
I know there are complexities that I might be oversimplifying here but it really is simple:
Jets play their game, they win the series.
In game one the Jets played their game for about 35 minutes. They stopped the aggressive forecheck, they stopped hitting and stopped skating. They have done that too much this year.
Craig Berube is not some friggin genius that came up with some magical counter between the second and third that neutralized us. What happened to us was caused by us. Do people actually think that other teams do not prescout and know EXACTLY what systems and tendencies other teams have and have a plan to counter that BEFORE the game starts? C'mon!
There's also absolutely no ****ing way Paul Maurice told his team to sit back and stand around and be reactionary instead of forcing action on their opponent.
Something about this team is different from last year. I think they think they can just impose their skill on another team and win. They have proven they cannot, without skill.
Consistently good teams find a game plan that suits their team makeup and play that way consistently. The Jets have deviated from that plan far too much this year.
We can win this series (and more) if we play Jets hockey from whistle to whistle. This team has proven incapable of that for long stretches this year which is the worry. We are healthy, we have good goaltending, we need execution.
Is Maurice blameless here? Absolutely not. The coach has to figure out why the team is not playing the style that is successful and find a way to get them playing like that. He's also not fantastic at roster management which is well established. This team has proven that it can do it, and do it for long stretches - so it's not personnel and it's not systems or game strategy.
I just don't think this team has the mental fortitude to all of the sudden wake tf up and play that game all the time.
If the coach can't figure it out, he will have to go, but some of the criticism on him is pretty silly round here.
You are absolutely right. Blake Wheeler, Dustin Byfuglien, Mark Scheifele, Jacob Trouba - these are the men who have to lead the charge, execute, and lead by example.Great point.
Though sometimes. A voice, a voice that lead. People will follow and players will fight harder for.
They seem to freeze in the 3rd.
I dont know i am not in the room, but that close door meeting. It didnt go the why it suppose to be after it, when players would have listen and fight harder. Maybe one rar in one ear out.
Someone need to go out there and take the lead. Make a statement that i am not letting this team lose this game! Any which way players will feel it.
This team has the horses. Otherwise maybe they are not really good enough? But i believe they are.
Go Jets Go
Imo that person was Laine in the first game. He just looked like “f*** this we are going to win “Someone need to go out there and take the lead. Make a statement that i am not letting this team lose this game! Any which way players will feel it.
Go Jets Go
Don't. The problems are easily addressable.
Feel despondent if coach and team do nothing to address the problems in game 2.
