Ducky

7-2-1 last 10 or similar. Yup. Dump him. Guess the bashing of the goalie is similar to the QB bashing that's been going on for years here. One simple question tho. What superstar goalie should the jets sign? That's what people don't really get or understand. What elite goalie is available or even average goalie? Name 2 guys really. Just 2.

You can safely say every player on the team, Pavelec included, bailed out a lot of players in this game.
But isn't that the exact point of team games?
You pretty well can point out heroes and bums in every game.
Just a little while ago Slater was a bum...today a contributor, Pavelec was a bum...today, good enough to win.
Harrison is a so-so D man, we all know that, but hey, +3 today.
Like I said, ain't stats fun?
Let's just hope LA get swept away by an Avalanche tonight.

If only they told the whole story - Pavelec and the team bailed out Harrison a number of times, especially in the first period.

He kept us in the game in the 1st period.

Trouba having a pretty brutal game out there today as well.

Good ugly win. Deserved it tho. That last game vs Calgary is gonna decide who gets in tho

Another fast up and down first period. Shades of last 2 games.
 
Looking for Ladd to come through the last couple of games.
 
Tlusty/Frolik? Nice to see goals from those guys.

Harrison has demonstrated multiple times he is a defensive liability in our own zone.
 
Just because a guy isn't good offensively doesn't mean he is good defensively.  Sometimes a guy just isn't that good.  Harrison is a fine 7th D-man but he's not taking anyone's job.

Can we go back to talking about Buff as a Norris Trophy candidate please.

My $.02:
 
Pavelec must have been expecting him to shoot b/c he was giving a lot of space on his glove hand side. He probably thought Kreider didn't have the time or space to make a move like he did. When he did cut back Pavelec was screwed.
 
As a side note, it seems to be Kreider's thing to "accidentally" follow his shot into the net. Him running Price is the biggest reason the Rangers made it to the Finals last season.

Can't say I agree with you. I've been watching a lot of hockey lately between the teams the Jets and the Canucks play and I have to say the Goaltending the Jets have been getting in the last little while has been more stable than not. They've even won a few games because of their G-tending more so than they've lost because of it. So to say Pavs is terrible is a little far far-fetched.
As a matter of fact, you could say Pavelec is a big reason the Jets are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Enstrom didn't have his strongest game either but nobody should be judged by one game.
If Buff hadn't stopped that puck when he pinched and scored, the Hawks have a 2 on 0 or at best a 2 on 1.
You don't pinch at that stage of that game...period. He was playing WAY better D from Jan. 1 to the all star break. He needs to play better D.
Having said that, would I trade him? I would trade ANYBODY on the team if the right trade came along. That includes Trouba, Scheifele, Wheeler, etc...
I agree with TUP that Chevy should try as hard as he can to re-sign him before the season starts. Ladd, too.
For that matter, I would think he should try to re-sign Chiarot, Trouba, Staf, Frolik, Stempniak, and Postma....prolly missing a few, too.
I think most people, having been told where the Jets are in the standings with 6 games to go, would have taken this scenario at the start of the season.
We lost a game to the Hawks, not the end of the world. Tough loss? Arguably the toughest of the season. Season over? Not yet.
 
GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trouba has too much confidence in himself. Tries to stick handle out of situations he shouldn't and gets himself in trouble. I thought he was better last year than he is now.
 
Enstrom played the puck on the 3rd goal like it was a live hand grenade. Stick it between your legs or just lay down on it. Anything but just flipping it away from yourself to the other team. Panic move from a veteran player.

Sharp doing the Buff impression really pissed me off - hey *******, the ref gave you that goal.  Smug prick.

I like the Jets, i think they play a great fun style but... reality is, if you look at the ROW number, we wouldn't be in the playoffs or even in a wild card position, the team is getting better but they aren't there yet, still some glaring weaknesses for sure. I don't blame Pavelec one bit but... goaltending is an issue and it has been for 4 seasons now, 6 or 7 or even 10 good games don't change that, Hutch is just a rookie, one who has struggled recently, goaltending needs to be fixed, penalties is an issue, some are iffy bs calls but they are still an issue, that's not a lack of skill problem, that's a mental one, stuart covering the puck with his glove? That's dumb, Buff elbowing shaw in the head? That's dumb...  there is still some dumbness to the team really lol, they aren't perfect but they are getting better and you know what, can say what you want but they went all in to make the playoffs this year, they still might (probably will) but... if they don't, it's going to be an interesting off-season.
 
Ducky says buff had a good game so we should trade him sarcastically, well... buff only has a year left, who knows what he's thinking really... you do trade him if he doesn't want to sign an extension, personally i think he does sign but if not, you HAVE to trade him, it's not even about wanting too, it's HAVE too or you will lose him for nothing and that would be awful.
 
Really need Little back and playing Perreault on the 4th line over slater was just a bad move, not sure how long it lasted but, didn't like it. 
 
I'll end on this tho, most people when the season started figured this team would be in the mceichel sweepstakes, they aren't, they very well could miss the playoffs or they could sneak in, but... regardless, they have exceeded expectations this season, not gonna pretend they are perfect, they aren't, but... they have definitely exceeded expectations and if they finish with 96 98 points and miss the playoffs, well jesus, what can you say really, most years 96 they say will get you in, Jets sitting at 90 with what? 5 games to go? They could run the table and finish with 100. Who would have thought that at the start of the year? 
 
Really sucks that they have lost 3 games in the last 30 or so seconds now, cuz you make it to ot and instead of 90, you have 93 points right now.. Man, it would suck if they missed by 3 or less, which if they do, it probably will be less than 3 points seperating the 8th and 9th place teams and that will really sting actually. I hope they make it but if they don't, i hope they miss by more than 1 or 2 points cuz yup... that would definitely be tough. 
 
But still, finish with 96 points or so and you miss? what can you say really.

Minny doesn't get out of the 1st round. You heard it here first...

Why would Chevy trade anyone?  This is the best team we've had in a long time.

Chiarot is a very good 3rd pairing D man....Stuart is here for his leadership but I would trade him in the off season.
 
Stafford and Perrault interchangeable????????? Stafford is nowhere near the guy MP is on the PP and MP also has way better hands.

Start scoring

Slater delays the development of a young player....I hope he isn't playing for the Jets next season.

And Little, Perrault (!), Chiarot could be back within the next two games.

Buff is back tonight.

S'later would be a sufficient way of saying that.

I'd say Hutch bailed them out several times last night.  Too bad the rest of the team couldn't return the favour.  I won't say we should have won that game because the Canucks appear to be a good team that deserved the win, but if the Jets team that I saw play the Blues and Caps a few days ago showed up in Vancouver we'd all be praising another Jets win.
 
I hope it's just a case of being fatigued and a bit shorthanded on talent that finally caught up to us.  Getting Little and Buff back would certainly help with that.

Leeman was involved in one of the worst trades in hockey history, being the principle asset that Calgary received in exchange for Doug Gilmour. That trade spelled the final death for the great Calgary run of the eighties.
