Heads up the game is on Sportsnet and KConn and Schmidt have COVID
 

 

Svechnikov the only regular Jet who has not caught COVID this season (if you count Hellebuyck who caught it in August).

25 minutes of play and Hellebuyck being a brick wall was enough tonight to get two big points. Stats say Buffalo had more giveaways (8-6) but it sure didn’t look that way. But 2 points is 2 points at this time of year. 

Wow... 3 wins in a row.    Is this a dream?

Seems like forever since November and a multiverse since the 4 in October.

8-6 definitely seems off… Wheeler had 6 on his own.

Nice to get the 2 points, especially with two key contributors out of the lineup.

I’m a huuuge homer when it comes to the Jets but I can completely understand the frustration Anderson and fans showed after Wheelers ‘filthy’ winning shootout goal. I’m not a fan of how players are almost coming to a complete stop waiting for the goalie to make a move then easily put it away. Doesn’t seem right to me.

If I recall correctly,  McDavid (or someone else) used to do something similar on his shootouts for a while.  While technically the skater is moving forward, it's a disadvantage for the goalie.

Huge disadvantage and you don’t have to be a professional hockey coach/player to make that assertion. 

Wheeler also did this to Freddie Anderson too.  Fast forward to 2:55.  It was against Laff nation, so anything that gets a W against them is warranted

 

The rules have been tweaked to not allow spinoramas, second shots, stopping, puck going backwards, etc. So the refs do watch to see if forward progress stops. Only other thing I could think would be to put a shot clock on, but as long as they feel he was moving forward, goal should be OK. I remember Danny Heatley trying that move against Steve Mason in a Jets year one game in Minnesota. Mason just stood there and Heatley ran out of space and shot it into his pads. Can look great a la Patrick Kane or can look really foolish.

Oh yea I’m with you on that. Anything that beats the sucky leafs, all good.

It's totally a Patrick Kane move. He does it all the time.
