March 30, 20223 yr Svechnikov the only regular Jet who has not caught COVID this season (if you count Hellebuyck who caught it in August).
March 30, 20223 yr Author what about Comrie? ooo I think PLD got sticked in the face...well two groups of scufflers
March 31, 20223 yr Author at long last we win three in a row wait is vegas playing tonight? crap vegas is playing tonight....go Seattle Edited March 31, 20223 yr by iHeart
March 31, 20223 yr 25 minutes of play and Hellebuyck being a brick wall was enough tonight to get two big points. Stats say Buffalo had more giveaways (8-6) but it sure didn’t look that way. But 2 points is 2 points at this time of year.

Nice to get the 2 points, especially with two key contributors out of the lineup.
March 31, 20223 yr I’m a huuuge homer when it comes to the Jets but I can completely understand the frustration Anderson and fans showed after Wheelers ‘filthy’ winning shootout goal. I’m not a fan of how players are almost coming to a complete stop waiting for the goalie to make a move then easily put it away. Doesn’t seem right to me.

If I recall correctly, McDavid (or someone else) used to do something similar on his shootouts for a while. While technically the skater is moving forward, it's a disadvantage for the goalie.

March 31, 20223 yr Wheeler also did this to Freddie Anderson too. Fast forward to 2:55. It was against Laff nation, so anything that gets a W against them is warranted
March 31, 20223 yr The rules have been tweaked to not allow spinoramas, second shots, stopping, puck going backwards, etc. So the refs do watch to see if forward progress stops. Only other thing I could think would be to put a shot clock on, but as long as they feel he was moving forward, goal should be OK. I remember Danny Heatley trying that move against Steve Mason in a Jets year one game in Minnesota. Mason just stood there and Heatley ran out of space and shot it into his pads. Can look great a la Patrick Kane or can look really foolish.

Heads up the game is on Sportsnet and KConn and Schmidt have COVID
