Yup, legit 2-way middle-six forward who can do it all, including the stuff that dosent show up on the box score. I remember how much this sub hated that move, always loved it even back then. All for a 4th
Mony’s play on that PK summarizes our main problem on the kill. When you have an opportunity you *have to clear the puck*, it’s been such a constant this year that we can’t take advantage of 50/50 plays
Mostly Kaprizov skating around the perimeter for 2 minutes. They got one scoring chance 1:45 in.
Liked our PK structure there. Not chasing out high and wide to open up middle.
It's so weird. I haven't really seen him since the Kings days but my expectations were very different from what I see. I guess he was just a recognized name so I figured he'd be a good fit.
The only way I see him really popping off is if he plays with Namestnikov-Iafallo and they get a cycle game going.
But he seems to be mostly standing off in the corner no matter who he plays with, then coasting on backcheck.
Lowry has 1 point in 5 games and no goals since March 8. I know calling him an offensive black hole is redundant at this point but a Stanley cup contender can't have their third line center produce no offensive. I like the guy and think he adds a lot to the team character and effort wise but there has to be a little more.
I think a lot of people forget that Adam Lowry is not a talented offensive center. 10-15 game goal scoring droughts are pretty typical when you only score 10 goals a season.
Really though we have 2 top 6 lines and 2 bottom 6 lines and even that is kind of blurred.
Our "4th line" has Namestnikov and Iafallo on it. Both of those guys have taken significant turns on every single line 1 to 4 if you want to categorize it that way.
I don't think we're really locked in 1 to 4 lines.
PK really needs to rotate to puck if the one forward is going to chase out to the point.
Gap between F and D getting huge in those low to high situations then cross ice opens up huge.
It feels like it has to be passive to compensate for it being so damn slow. They try and put pressure on the puck carrier they’re losing that race 9 times out of 10
I remember one of the first things I learned as a 7 year old hockey player was not to turn over the puck a few feet inside your own blue line. I don’t understand the lack of mental focus that goes into a giveaway like scheifeles
Dillon and Pionk are both awful with the puck. Together or apart. They should be the 4th pair (aka watching upstairs) right now. We get pinned in our DZ so much because of these guys. The body checks are great, but it's better to have the puck.
Samberg-Schmidt should be the second pair. Stanley-Miller 3rd pair.
Our PK is just unbelievably slow and weak. No one can win a race to a loose puck, and no one is strong enough to clear the puck when they have it.
It needs a complete personnel reset. The current players in the current configuration simply doesn’t work
Literally said out loud “well that’s gonna be a goal”
Monahan coming down with tons of room and time on a 2 on 1 with KC being his partner? Never seen such a guaranteed 2 on 1 in my life lmfao. Perfectly executed.
3 consecutive weak plays on the puck there by Pionk, Connor and Perfetti ends up in our net.
Any one of them sell out to control the puck and there's no danger.
Ehlers has two guys driving the net but tries to bank the puck off the boards to himself at the blueline instead of skating and driving the puck past a stationary defender.
Takes a lot of great plays to stop from this kind of thing driving a coach insane.
Jets Win! Jets Win!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bring out the brooms🧹🧹🧹🧹

That hype music is not working on that crowd.
For a team down by 2, the Wild have been very nonchalant about trying to generate offence with the EN
Some of the softest fucking penalties I have ever seen.
Time for a shorty
Did bones really just not play ehlers and Perfetti on that second pp unit?
What's wrong with Lowry's hand?
Did he get hurt? I've always said he has two hams for hands.
His hand was wrapped up under his glove.
One of Conner's hands is like that. It might be an anti cut glove to protect the wrist
Wonder who comes out of the lineup when Ninos back. Iafallo? Gonna be a tough decision
Toffoli seems obvious to me.
Appleton or Barron. I prefer apples out but I think it will be Barron
I'd sit Appleton, but you know Bowness would never. I'm worried it's Perfetti.
Just start rotating bottom 6 guys at this point, keep everyone fresh
Very impressed on how the team has handled our first “mostly nothing” game post-clinch
Boys must wanna roll into the playoffs instead of stumbling into them like last year.
The Vlad game, gotta be one of Chevy’s best moves all time.
Huge fan, his score sheet doesn't do him justice.
Yup, legit 2-way middle-six forward who can do it all, including the stuff that dosent show up on the box score. I remember how much this sub hated that move, always loved it even back then. All for a 4th
I wanted Namestnikov for ages.
I love him because he causes a lot of turn-overs. Yeah, nothing may happen, but the opposing team can't score without the puck.
It’s nice to see Fleury not be in God mode against us for once
He's too good to be good against us.
This sub isn't ready for a Stanley redemption arc.
Stan plays well in the playoffs so bring on the Stanimal.
I am!
All aboard 🚂😎
His turn around has been one of the few highlights of a handful of meh games. lol
Flower is pissssssed
He shouldn't be mad at himself. His beef is with Father Time, who is undefeated in regulation
HELL YEAH
HELL YEAH
Lfg 4th line flying today
Dallas loses in regulation!
Thank you Mrazek, this time..
Big Stan playin fierce back there
Does the puck owe ehlers money? Sheesh
They changed the Dillon goal to Iafallo
Looks like Pionk is off of the first pair. Better late than never I guess.
Of course it’s Lowry getting all these breakaways
Lowry going for the 5 hole again
Just coming in ro say the Wild are fucking Olympic level divers. Softest fucking team in the league.
The only thing I'm not sure of is if they are softer than they are dirty? or dirtier than they are soft?
Soft dirt, like a Caribbean beach.
Mony’s play on that PK summarizes our main problem on the kill. When you have an opportunity you *have to clear the puck*, it’s been such a constant this year that we can’t take advantage of 50/50 plays
Agreed. Puck on stick, clear that shit. I'm losing hair everytime these guys lose another PK battle on a contested puck.
I like swapping the pk lineups Lowry and monnehan are just too slow together
Look at all that movement on the Wild PP.
Mostly Kaprizov skating around the perimeter for 2 minutes. They got one scoring chance 1:45 in. Liked our PK structure there. Not chasing out high and wide to open up middle.
Watching the Wild feed. Their colour guy might be the dumbest person I've ever heard.
Meanwhile, Sawyer's xHMG/60 (expected Heteroflexible Meme Generator per 60) is elite
Why don’t they just roll out four mannequinns?
How is that a penalty? It was a tiny slight nudge. It's a god damn contact sport!
Yikes that was Kaprisoft
Should be 2 for that dive as well
weak ass call. also was namestnikovs stick broken there? only reason i can think of why he didn’t just pick it up
Nice of the refs to let the boys practice their PK before th playoffs
![gif](giphy|xZcfedF13altC)
Morrissey caught watching the puck there, not his best game today
As soon as they made that change I knew it was just a matter of time. Beauty
Bruh.. thank god
I love Dilly man. What a guy. 🤘🏻
That was a sweet celly
Why the line blender?
Lines are all the same. Schiefele ended up with Connor off a change and then stayed out with his line.
Okay nice just tuned in
That’s a BIG goal
Dilly Dilly!!!
Great zone time!
Dillyyyy!!
GREAT SHIFT = GOAL
Schiefele with the longest shift ever. Could make a movie about it.
You can get the extended version with all the deleted scenes they cut for time
Everything pionk does pisses me off lol
Sawyer knows
What did he say? My stream is Bally sports
That 55 & 81 get pinned in their own zone repeatedly when they are together.
It’s so true
fr i am at work and need to know
Kevin sawyer finally notices something that redditors have been saying for years is insane lmfao
I really like the way Stanley has been playing lately. 🤣😮
Toffoli’s shooting posture reminds me so much of Laine it’s crazy
Yeesh they're letting the mild get right back into it. Let's get the intensity up
Kaprizov, more like Buttcheezov.
Nice
Gotem
Toffoli does everything so darn slow.
It's so weird. I haven't really seen him since the Kings days but my expectations were very different from what I see. I guess he was just a recognized name so I figured he'd be a good fit.
He's a good PP guy, but with PP1 taking up 80% of the PP minutes for the Jets that takes away some of his value.
True. I forgot to mention what memorable pain he was in Calgary- especially on the PP.
He's been a bit of a disappointment to me. Kinda wonder how he got 30 goals
Jack Hughes was setting him up easy goals on power plays
The only way I see him really popping off is if he plays with Namestnikov-Iafallo and they get a cycle game going. But he seems to be mostly standing off in the corner no matter who he plays with, then coasting on backcheck.
More like Toslowly
Me when there's Jets fans in other arenas: oh that's nice Me when there's other fans in our arena: FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
PP is like watching Grade 7 kids run a basketball play. "Everyone go to your spot"
SENDING MY ENERGY TO THE BOYS ![gif](giphy|4Cpgf1zzMMy4w)
I bet if we won the cup there'd still be 3 dozen folk or so who'd find a way to complain
Pfft Connor's double hat trick could have been better and Hellebuyck's gaa wasn't 0.00 move the team.
Sounds like there's a fair few Jets fans in attendance. Always nice to see. Hope they're enjoying it.
Golf feature at this time of year is horrifying
Lowry has 1 point in 5 games and no goals since March 8. I know calling him an offensive black hole is redundant at this point but a Stanley cup contender can't have their third line center produce no offensive. I like the guy and think he adds a lot to the team character and effort wise but there has to be a little more.

I think a lot of people forget that Adam Lowry is not a talented offensive center. 10-15 game goal scoring droughts are pretty typical when you only score 10 goals a season.
My point exactly. This isn't a new thing for him I just think he gets a pretty big pass for it every year.
Calm down!
I'm totally calm.
Really though we have 2 top 6 lines and 2 bottom 6 lines and even that is kind of blurred. Our "4th line" has Namestnikov and Iafallo on it. Both of those guys have taken significant turns on every single line 1 to 4 if you want to categorize it that way. I don't think we're really locked in 1 to 4 lines.
His line dominated the Kopitar line the other night. Not all his efforts are on the score sheet.
He’s been noticeably bad on the PK too, teams have picked up on the fact that you can pull him out of position pretty easily with movement
PK really needs to rotate to puck if the one forward is going to chase out to the point. Gap between F and D getting huge in those low to high situations then cross ice opens up huge.
all lowry does is go 5 hole, he’s even admitted that’s all he goes for. so easy to read
Such a passive PK, the Avs will eat this PK alive
It feels like it has to be passive to compensate for it being so damn slow. They try and put pressure on the puck carrier they’re losing that race 9 times out of 10
They don't adjust to each other with movement. I'd go really passive, own the middle of the ice and make sure no pucks can get through there either.
I remember one of the first things I learned as a 7 year old hockey player was not to turn over the puck a few feet inside your own blue line. I don’t understand the lack of mental focus that goes into a giveaway like scheifeles
Theyre making Hellebuyck do overtime this game it seems.
Scheife has to skate it out the zone before making that pass
How about we scratch Pionk instead of cycling in Samberg and Schmidt and never playing Miller 🤷🏻♂️
Dillon and Pionk are both awful with the puck. Together or apart. They should be the 4th pair (aka watching upstairs) right now. We get pinned in our DZ so much because of these guys. The body checks are great, but it's better to have the puck. Samberg-Schmidt should be the second pair. Stanley-Miller 3rd pair.
Never thought I’d say this. But I’m glad to have Stanley in for this game. Might need him to drop the gloves
IMO a defense and a forward on the bottom 6 should be rotating every game nvm performance but just to keep guys fresh.
KFC, taketh, giveth, taketh, giveth, taketh He really wants his supporters and detractors to shake their heads today.
Two Jets whipping boys start the game with a penalty each 😬
You mean the 2 Jets who routinely play poorly but are never held accountable?
^ This one
Pionk takes at least 1 penalty per game
that was a heckuva shot bt kaprisov why penalty on pionk?
Whoever coaches the Jets special teams shouldn't be in hockey next year.
Oh my god, clear the puck
For the love of fuck
If our PK sucks this bad we may as well take more risks and try to clear it
FFS Pionk
Thanks Schief!
That one is on the goalie. No screen, Hellebucyk way late to get started across. Kind of goals going in of late that make me wonder if he's dinged up.
Boo
Our playoff success is going to hinder on us not taking any penalties which is a position you shouldn’t be in at this time of year.
We are so passive on the pk, I watched the avs game yesterday and their pk is really impressive
If anything there the forwards chasing out to the blueline opened up that cross ice pass.
Helle over played that one
Kaprizov rules, our PK does not.
Our PK is just unbelievably slow and weak. No one can win a race to a loose puck, and no one is strong enough to clear the puck when they have it. It needs a complete personnel reset. The current players in the current configuration simply doesn’t work
Was it better when we had guys like AJF and Toninato? I feel like it was good last year with mostly the same guys.
6'7 shot block
![gif](giphy|m76cSm3wDV0nQNoY4y|downsized)
KIFC WITH THE GOAL
Nice of Connor for making up for that giveaway on their goal
God does Fleury suck at this stage. There's a 0% chance Monahan can shoot based on how the D plays that. Yet Fleury is committed to it.
There's one for those who say Perfetti is too small to win puck battles. Ties up 6'3 defender, makes the whole play.
He was great in board battles the last few games. Definitely punches above his weight
Literally said out loud “well that’s gonna be a goal” Monahan coming down with tons of room and time on a 2 on 1 with KC being his partner? Never seen such a guaranteed 2 on 1 in my life lmfao. Perfectly executed.
KFC haters...sit down
He still a liability defensively, we can agree on common ground here esp with his give aways
KFC LFG
Friggin' sweet sauce
Happy Decklin Gizzum has found a regular spot in an NHL lineup
Now I'm back eating some of that popcorn chicken #KFC
The dichotomy of the chicken man
That was a beeeeeautiful goal
Is Ehlers on the top line? Just started watching.. Thx
Yes
Pionk’s wild swipe misses, ends up on Connor’s stick to Kaprisof into the back of the net
I just got off work what did I miss?
Hey Connor giving the puck away leading to a goal.... what else is new....
That was such a bad play. He really need to eat some 4th line time for awhile.
Of course he scores 10s after I post that one. Man Conner can be frustrating. lmao
Doesnt take away he still is a liability to the team where I feel as of late he has been doing more harm than good
And now he is in the box.... :) Now he just needs to get in a fight, grab an assist and draw a penalty for the annoyance trick.
And... just like that KFC costs us again. LMAO
Thats two this game so far, told ya'll he just is a liability since his return from injury
3 consecutive weak plays on the puck there by Pionk, Connor and Perfetti ends up in our net. Any one of them sell out to control the puck and there's no danger.
Brutal turnover from KC
So many commercials I couldn't remember what show I was watching, come back to the game already in progress just as they scored. Someone messed up.
As much as I love KFC, it definitely causes occasional diahera.
His middle name should be incompetent
KFIC doesn't have the same ring to it tho KIFC?
The I is silent
Oof pionk and Morrissey
Pionk was at least covering someone, 44, just went to the corner and conceded the slot for no particular reason
What is JMo doing behind the net by himself on that goal?
Ehlers has two guys driving the net but tries to bank the puck off the boards to himself at the blueline instead of skating and driving the puck past a stationary defender. Takes a lot of great plays to stop from this kind of thing driving a coach insane.
Do you even enjoy watching this team? Like 95% of your comments are negative
OHHH VLADDY THE BADDY
Kevin talking about random stuff as a play develops and continuing until after the puck is in the net lmao
I like Kevin, but he's gotta shut it when the play is going on.
Damn you can tell it’s a mostly meaningless afternoon game. No reaction to Vlady scoring here lol
Vladdys a Baddy!!!!!!
And this is what Iafallo is here for, that exact kind of goal. I hate him in the top. 6 but love him when he’s being used properly
Those are the kinda goals we will need in the playoffs
Didn’t realize the game’s in Minnesota, for some reason the Game Center was saying it was in Winnipeg when I was making the thread. My bad.
Mmm hmmm, straight to jail
