Jets go into Denver and score a massive 4-2 win against the best team in the NHL with the best home record in the NHL. Hellebuyck rock solid, Toews and Vilardi among the best Jets. Super impressive. No quit in this bunch.
Another horrendous PP for the #NHLJets. The same vanilla entry every time. Teams are well prepared for this slow and unimaginative strategy. Stood up at the line, no one retrieves puck chipped low, rinse and repeat.
Disappointed with result. But #NHLJets Connor Hellebuyck has ended all this “can’t win the big game” narrative.
He was the difference in the Team USA win.
I’d put Vilardi at the bumper and Lowry net front. Teams would have to respect the point shot (they don’t now, at all) and 17 could create chaos. Vilardi creativity would be nice at the bumper. The odd time you could swap out 44 for 6 or 4 and blast a couple to keep em honest.
Not sure how #NHLJets expect success on PP. Its far too slow and predictable. Perimeter passes ending with bad angle shots hoping that 55 and 81 can somehow find magic. Teams have taken away 13 in front. No one net front and we can’t make use of bumper guy at all it seems. Yawn.
This #NHLJets game not helping me stay up to midnight…..much of the period played a foot from the boards. Can’t get it anywhere close to danger areas. Guess I’ll watch WJC where D is always an afterthought
