FWIW

After 80 games...

2017/18   50-20-10 = 110pts (Jets won 9 of last 10)

2018/19   46-30-4 = 96pts (.500 since Xmas)

Edited April 3, 20196 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

and one more game on TSN3

The Jets would clinch the title tonight if they win and Nashville loses in regulation and St. Louis loses in any fashion. They would clinch no worse than second place, which means home-ice advantage in the first round at least — if they win and one of Nashville or St. Louis loses — either the Predators in regulation or the Blues in any fashion.

Blues lost in OT last night.

tonight needs to be a statement game for the Jets. Game 81, you can't be having these huge internal issues. Go out there and lay a beating down....

If they come out flat, we are done - you can’t have a 25 min team meeting and then a team building day and then not have any fire

I agree, however I would think an element to the Jets woes of late is other teams have found a useful blueprint in how to play us.

Therefore, added to the players/coaches responsibility of team unity/cohesion is the coaches ability to come up with a blueprint of their own to stay ahead of the oppositions approach.

That doesn’t explain the late game collapses and the lack of backchecking

Totally agree on the blueprint comment.  Our passive defensive approach and difficulty counteracting an aggressive forechecking team, is definitely on the coaches to find answers.

It doesn't?  It certainly could explain some of it.

Brandon Tanev is not on the ice and we will see what kind of update #NHLJets HC Paul Maurice provides. In other news, Connor Hellebuyck just shattered his goal stick on the post

 

Forwards in blue: Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler, Lindholm/Hendricks-Lowry-Roslovic. Forwards in white: Copp and Hayes at C, wingers are Laine, Little, Perreault and Ehlers but not sure who is going with whom just yet

 

No line rushes for #NHLJets this morning so the combos (at least for groups wearing white) remain a mystery at least for now. Not certain but guessing HC Paul Maurice will tell me to show up for the warm up if I want to know the combos but we shall see (or hear) shortly

#NHLJets F Par Lindholm isn’t staying on for extra work so it looks like he will draw in for Brandon Tanev tonight

Yup didnt absolve players responsibility as I mentioned but I'm guessing it's not the only thing that ails this team of late. Winning or losing in stretches of time usually, not always, has to do with a variety of things going on that need to be addressed.

I’d actually feel way better about this lineup with Lemieux Copp Appleton as our fourth line

Why?  The entire lineup would benefit from the 6 minutes they usually got?

I liked that line too, but Perreault, Copp, Roslovic, have been very good.

Perrault and Roslo deserve to be in the top six... Copp too actually

They're the only ones that are trying really - Tanev and Lowry too

In theory, this looks like a really really good roster (...aside from Comrie...)

Is Comrie the guy everyone is piling on now?

There might be some confusion here. The pucks behind him are piling up

After the first period...Blues beating Flyers 5-3,  Canucks beating Preds 2-0

5-3 after one period? WTF!

I'm watching the Avs over the top pregame show on their telecast. For the love of goodness please break out of this funk and annihilate them.
