What the actual fuck...?
I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the assault.

Cautiously optimistic here.
As long as we're realistic as to what he's bringing to the table. Bottom six, who brings leadership, experience, and is a face-off specialist. Then as the season rolls along, we reassess his spot in the lineup.

I will say this, Bouchard had a point that he got called for a retaliatory penalty, and it didn't go the other way later. Even I was like "retaliatory, right?" And then it didn't happen

I don't have a problem with America, the leadership that a majority of them voted in... There's the problem.

There's a name I haven't seen in a while. I had... Medium hopes for him, shame it didn't work out. Young (at the time) speedster with a semi-decent shot, and a not small frame. Lol

Broken record time
And I know this flies in the face of the fact that the current top line put up so many points this season.l
But:
KFC, Scheif, Fly
UFA/homegrown, Vilardi, Fetts
Easier to find a top six wing than a centre these days. Fly gets his top line opportunity, and Vilardi pivots. Thoughts?

I've always been a middle six type of guy.
My favs on the Jets have been
Kyle Wellwood
Matty Perreault
Adam Lowry
To hear he wants to stay and be a lifer, warms my lil hockey heart

While I agree, it makes that kicking motion goal that much more annoying. Yeah, I'm still not over it.

Personally I think a little Hurricane hockey is necessary here. Go for quantity of shots, and when they're shell shocked, then find your quality snipe.
And repeat.
Lol

I Love the guy, he's my goalie, but he's got a playoff monkey on his back. Too many flailing saves, he's playing way inside his crease, and he's getting beat on shots that are usually saves for him. He needs to put the team on his Helly-Back, and steal a few.
comment in response to
post
I've been a Helly apologist, but he's got to get this playoff monkey off his back. The team in front of him is playing, and yeah, the goals aren't there, but every goal he lets in just saps the energy out of everybody. Big and boring is more like shook and (other team) scoring.

Who's to say the outcome of the game afterward, but that goal shouldn't have counted in that instance. It's a bad look considering the rule that was very quickly found.

If he's hurt in a way that's diminishing his play; he should sit or he should switch sports with AI.

He's playing Rantanen like he played McDavid in the playoffs a few years back. He neutralized him pretty well, looks like it can work on different players, I approve.

Side note:
Fetts needs Stone Cold Steve Austin's music for goals now.
"CAUSE STONE COLE 0:1.6 SAYS I JUST KICKED YOUR ASS! AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, CAUSE STONE COLE SAYS SO!"

Now that the celebration is done, it's back to the lab. Personally, if the Jets could play every game like the 2nd, 3rd, and x2 OT periods, they'll be world beaters. They flipped the script on the Blues and put the pressure on them, because of that we had the puck more and consequently more shots.

The reference and the pun!?

I mean, yeah, but we're also playing like steaming hot garbage, so...

Throughout the season I've maintained that as long as you keep to your systems and happen to lose, I'm fine with that. Against these Blues, they're losing structure, and chasing the game.
Fair play to the Blues
But this is disappointing play by the Jets.
Helly has to steal a game too, subpar.

I mean, at least call them both. Make it less one sided. Lol

For every series. Officiating has been consistently inconsistent.
comment in response to

Weak call, followed up by a non-call on Buch for hitting Pionk after the whistle...neat. Good officiating, top notch.
comment in response to

Good no challenge, gotta clear him out earlier though. Make them pay for being in there.

Remember when he was teased as a trade piece?
Glad that didn't happen.
Hope it doesn't happen in the future.
The kid is a beauty.

Even on his offside with Schenn would be nice
comment in response to

I'm torn, you can go with what has worked all season, on the top line, moving AI down.
Or hear me out, you keep the top line as is, they've been getting points.
Move Gabe to centre the second line, with Fetts and Vlad
Nino reunites with Apples and Lows
Pushing Tanev to 4th line, with Bear and JAD

KFC - Scheif - Vilardi
Perfetti - Vladdy- AI
Apples - Lows - Nino
Tanev - Barron - JAD
Or
KFC - Scheif - AI
Vladdy - Vilardi - Perfetti
Apples - Lows - Nino
Tanev - Barron - JAD
Mo - Smoke
Samby - Pionk
Miller - Schenn (yeah, offside for Miller but we need that shot)
Helly

Vilardi will help
Get more bodies in the crease
Make the Blues pay for being in our crease
PP1 shoot more
If you're going to block a shot, block the shot
Those are small adjustments they can make, but don't change the defense first mentality that got us here
Oh and, blue collar it, don't play cute

I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't the way we lost these two games...
...And by that I mean...
...By a lot
comment in response to

Dare I say, I think he would. He'd be that guy in the crease at the right time to get us those goals. Suddenly we're not chasing the game.
#wishfulthinking

Most of those goals are because they're letting the Blues camp out in the crease. Firstly, don't let them do that, and second, if they are there, make it a very uncomfortable place to be.
Also, Binner has let some rebounds hit the ice around him, and the Jets aren't there to grease it in.
comment in response to
post
Personally I thought it should have, but I wasn't offended when they upheld the call on the ice.
Now officiating (both ways) in general, not the greatest. I haven't complained about it all season, because it hasn't been bad, but the officiating during the playoffs, game management at its "finest".
comment in response to

Firstly: I liked your post, not because of the content, but because you're a good dude, who deserves the engagement
Secondly: now that we showed how not to play hockey, let's move on from this debacle, regroup, and re-engage for the next game.

This has been the year when I finally got comfortable with Helly going to get/play the puck.
Lately though... Not so much.

"game management" has returned I see.
comment in response to

Fix your defensive pairings, make those small changes that you do, but don't abandon how you play. If we lose this game, but we lose it playing our game, I'm fine with that, because in a seven game series, we come out on top, as long as we stick to our systems.

There are three defenseman you don't want to see in the press box, Smoke is one of them.
comment in response to
post
I don't mind the contract per se, RHD's are actually hard to come by, but I do think it was a bit of an overpay. In the two extensions he's gotten here, his play always rises during a contract year, and then begins to dip. I truly hope this doesn't tie our hands with Nik and Samby extensions.

Man, I wish that was more the norm.

What a weird trip they took us on.
Overpassing on the 5 on 3
Out shooting the Ducks heavily in the first period.
Wide shot after wide shot all game
Shades of try Harding (which isn't how they play)
Capped by a phenomenal defensive play and offense finish in ot.
Frustrating to satisfying
comment in response to

I will forever loathe "looking for the perfect pass"
Blue collar city, Blue collar team, there were bodies in front of the net, fire the puck.
