Pretty good road win over a good Rangers team. Only bad part of the game for the Jets was faceoffs.

[Jesse]

This is just getting ridiculous.

This is just getting ridiculous.

In the best way.

15-1! Some absolutely filthy goals last night.

Not worried about Stanley, odd how confident I am in our D corps this year, after losing one of our best D in Dillion.  Pionk fully healed seems to be on a tear, and the 3rd pairing is more than holding its own. be it Stanley (who was on the roster for every one of our loss) or Fleury (undefeated with him in the lineup).

The team doesn't quit, they are hard after the puck, they are working together seamlessly.  No roster shakeups or line blendering, they have found their dynamic. 

And CH37 has been outstanding, and EC30 undefeated in a backup role, yikes.

On pace for a 76 win season...  not bad.

Hellebuyck shines at MSG...

And last night was no exception once again.

I didn't realize how much another Jet shines at MSG: Scheifele.
In 19 games at the iconic venue, he has 15 goals, including four multi-goal games (one last night) and one hat trick, and 5 assists - good for 20 points. Elite through and through. To say nothing about his linemates who are also tearing it up the last couple of weeks.

This team is a juggernaut.

[Jockitch]

No doubt that yesterday the weakness was faceoffs
Jets lost 15 more than they won and that's terrible
Otherwise, simply a hustling, finish on the chances success

Felt Fleury stepped in and played very well

[Jockitch]

Tampa smartly brought it and Comrie was our best player

[Pigskin]

I have only seen the highlights of this game. But, I did hear that Tampa looked much faster then us and kepted us off balance all night. PP was also not VG.

[theaardvark]

Not the best game, against an opponent on 6 days rest playing at home.

Was hopeful, Comrie was undefeated this year...h well.

[Jesse]

Panthers tonight. Big test.

[Jockitch]

Gotta flush those Florida road games.   Pionk just might get a game for that decent but low hip check 

[bluengold204]

Jets falling back to earth in a tailspin

[Pigskin]

Gotta flush those Florida road games.   Pionk just might get a game for that decent but low hip check 

$5K for clipping.
