I think it's the fact they are missing Bowness. If he's back on Wednesday, I suspect you'll see some improvement. Since we're playing the Avs, we'll get shitkicked, but I think you'll see a much better effort in the middle frame.
The NYR game could have been like this Dallas game. There are some positives though. Not having Bowness behind the bench has probably affected the players and they need that consistent voice telling them to play his way. Anyways next up is the defending champs.
2 games in, really bad 2nd periods. Stars absolutely turned the tide. Not sure what it is, but my hope is that Bowness rights the ship when he's back behind the bench. Jets need to dictate play in the 3rd.
Game 2 At Dallas
Time: 7:30 PM CDT
TV: TSN3
1-0-0 vs. 2-0-0
Jets starting goalie: Connor Hellebuyck
Stars starting goalie: Jake Oettinger
Bowness still has Covid so Arneil back as bench boss. We'll see how the boys perform tonight. Solid win against NYR and 2 days of rest before the start of 3 in 4 nights.
On a side note. This is the same CFL officiating crew that didn't call a single holding penalty against the Riders when they were here on September 30th. This just reeks of incompetence on every level.
