Round 1 : Game 6 - @Cruisin' for a Bluesin'

[iHeart]

I'll give Comrie this, at least he didn't let any more goals in.

[HardCoreBlue]

Believe in my guys who got us here, our best players, goalie, grinders against their best in game 7 versus you ain’t producing at the level we pay you, you ain’t playing.

The tough gig as a professional head coach.

Just for funsies, what if we had started Comrie in St. Louis and Helle at home, still tied 3-3? Again just for funsies knowing it’s not reality.

The only goal that should have been stopped was the 3rd one by Schenn.

The first goal was kinda 50/50.  It looked like interference... but it was also a total fluke.

2nd goal -- defence doesn't mark anyone and Walker is left alone.

4th goal - screen 

5th goal -- Demelo just gives up on the puck , leads to a turnover, which then causes traffic, which leads to another screened goal.

3rd goal was the back breaker imo.  Helle absolutely needs to stop that.   That keeps the momentum.  After that goal, guys just gave up.   

Comrie maybe stops the 3rd goal.   But honestly, I think he might have gotten lit up had he played.

Winner take all game 7.

Helle was a man by himself in the first. 8 2 shots after 1. And of those 7 8 shots he made 5 or 6 10 bell saves. St. Louis is exposing our small slow D. I think goal 3 was tough but the other 4, no chance really. You can’t give pucks away in the slot and expect to win. Stanley alone did that 3 4 times. Demelo was mentioned, ended up in the back of the net. Luke Schenn is cooked. I can see why he was actually on waivers and sent down not long ago. He’s being exposed badly. Without 55 we can’t win tho and honestly I thought the boys generally played hard but imploded for 10 minutes. Honestly. Once it was 3 1 it was over cuz who was scoring 3 more to win for us. Appleton being offside by 5 feet was my turning point.

The score indicates that yes they are being blown out.  

You aren’t watching the games then. They weren’t blown out last night at all.

That’s cuz St. Louis only had 4 shots and stopped trying hard. But ironically Comrie is number 2 in the playoffs in goals against average. It’s irrelevant cuz we get blown out games 3 and 4 with him in net Also. People who are blaming Helle are showing a serious lack of hockey knowledge. It’s not him. People lack memories cuz this same **** that happens in St. Louis happened in Colorado last year. Our tiny slow D is being owned. That’s that simple. We are small. There’s this narrative that the jets are big and heavy. Outside of Lowry and a 6 foot 8 d man who really isn’t ready for playoffs and never will be cuz bro isn’t a good skater, who exactly is big and heavy? Kyle Connor who actively tries to avoid contact? Cmon. We small and that’s the problem. Our D can’t move people out of our goalies way. 1 bad goal? Sure but when you losing in St. Louis by 3 every game, 1 bad goal don’t matter.

You could make the case in St. Louis we are being out coached Also but in St. Louis we don’t get the last change so that’s part of it. Part of it also is having no scoring depth on the road, we get gabe back game 5 in Winnipeg only to lose mark game 5 but get Ehlers back game 6. Always something. Keep it close. Maybe those last line changes are making the difference cuz different series in St. Louis than Winnipeg. I think there’s a real possibility of whoever winning this series wins the cup.

St. Louis has been very successful in creating havoc by getting bodies, pucks, sticks to the net which is a perfect formula against Helle. Take his sight lines away. Pretty simple yet effective hockey strategy. It’s also helps been given lots of latitude in how they get at our top players along with an odd soft puck luck goal allowed. 
I’m hoping it’s our turn game seven to score 3 or 4 in a fairly short period of time to put the game away. A nice lop sided score for the first time in this series for us  to end it.

Why not us?

I wasn't aware that when a score indicated 5 - 1 that this is a close game and not being blown out?   That's a blow out.    You can't pick assess a game purely on the parts that a team does well... you have to factor in the full game.      Constantly on these boards people rag on Trevor Harris for putting up "garbage time stats" and that they don't count... how come when the Jets collapse and give up a tonne of goals that we can ignore that?   The end result of this last game was that we got our ass kicked badly.

A blowout is the other team controlling the play all game. That was not the case last night. Jets had a bad 10 minutes that cost them. The other 50 ******* minutes tho was pretty even. But sure. You are always correct. Forever and always. Johnny Augustine was a star bro and the jets got dominated last night. For sure.

The Jets had no chance to win, for a good portion of that game. Various semantics could be applied.

[Noeller]

There was a two minute span where things were ugly. Outside of that, it wasn't a bad game. 

[FrostyWinnipeg]

How I feel about the last game.

But good vibes for tomorrow. Win or lose, we riot!

Yet certain narcissists will argue otherwise.

I’d say 12 minutes span but agreed.

lol. How are you alive bro. You be jumping off bridges every goal. 

[Brandon]

It's odd... throughout the season at no point did anyone write we were lucky that we won a game by 4 goals... most games that had such a vast lead we were jubilant about how much we kicked butt and how great it was.   Yet when it happens to us... bad luck / it doesn't count.  

I'd feel way more confident for game 7 and further on if our losses were by a single goal + empty netter or something where the score was close.   Nobody can be confident when you get blasted three times in a row on the road and outscored 17  - 5.    The delusional fans who think that this stat is misleading are in fantasy land.  Very concerning and not the showing of a #1 team.   

 

[HardCoreBlue]

A small win it was our best 10 minute start to the game of the series thus far. We dictated the game. Just have to keep it up for another 50 minutes.

Another reminder the playoffs is a completely different breed, just have to make sure you make it, doesn’t matter by how much.
