Tanev-Barron-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Fleury-Miller

Hellebuyck

No Schenn??

[Jesse]

No Schenn??

It's Miller time.

[Pigskin]

Complete game. NE27 looks like he is finally up to speed. Helle was excellent. AL17 a true leader.

[Jesse]

Best game of the play-offs so far.

Great to see all of our players back in the line-up. Hopefully we're just getting started now.

[theaardvark]

When this team can ice its full lineup and its lines are back together, it is a juggernaut.

First game this post season they've done that, and BOOM.

[Jockitch]

Can't stop grinning when I reflect on the excitement that occurs with a Jet victory
We got a few bounces, hustled to the puck, broke up many a Star effort and created some terrific offensive chances
No doubt that HellB was on top of his game and that our Dmen were playing smart and bravely

[Pigskin]

Sloppy D-zone play, and our bread and butter all season the PP was terrible.

[Jockitch]

Yes sloppy many times, compounded with our lack of any control in the middle of the ice and voila —- no cigars today

[Pigskin]

Might be time to bring back a little muscle on D. A couple of Stars players taking some liberties.

[dd]

Agree. We picked up Schenn for a reason, play him!!

[Pigskin]

Little disappointed in a couple of delays in the game yesterday. Refs took to long to figure a decision on the Duchene puck over the glass call. And then the marathon to figure the kicked puck goal. These two calls added up to about 15 minutes in delays. Really not a good look for the NHL.

The rules don't seem matter come the playoffs. According the rulebook (49.2), that third Stars goal should've been called back. Pretty bad look to not only review it for 10 minutes but then to get it wrong... Comical.

Jets gotta win tonight. They gotta crack that goose egg and win a road game.

[theaardvark]

I hate the kicked goal.

Its not illegal to kick the puck to yourself, or another player.

Helly literally pushed the puck into his own net. A "self goal".

Last offensive player to touch the puck gets the goal.

Last action of that player was a distinct kicking motion towards the net.

Kick the puck at the net and get credit for the goal.

In this case, I see the point, and I hate it.

If it had bounced off Helly and in, no goal, I'm sure that's the call.

Helly put the puck in the net.  Good goal.

Sad, but true.

But it shouldn't take 10 minutes to get there.

[blue_gold_84]

Seems like 49.2(ii) covers it but was not considered/applied. I can't figure it out but it doesn't matter now, anyway.

[blue_gold_84]

Looks like the same lines/D pairings for tonight as last game:

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Namestnikov-Perfetti
Niederrieter-Lowry-Appleton
Tanev-Barron-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Fleury-Miller

Hellebuyck

I hope they've been working on the powerplay, which has been pretty craptacular this post-season.
