nah I know we got our **** destroyed by Hellebuyck, good series

doesn’t make morrissey good lmfaoooo

Lol ok. U live in that closed mind of paper stats of yours without analyzing anything like defence partners or usage. Have fun in this paper stats world of yours.

Smith was just as good as hellebuyck. They played an equal series. The difference was the jets defence and overall play, the jets were better in that regard. The playoff experience didn’t hurt.

Ah.. I suppose Helle also scored 4-5 goals a night

Don’t care what u think bout Morrissey, haters gotta hate

you- you did not just say that

If you don’t understand what the stats mean then you can’t criticize them. I’ve watched the game I won’t act like I know more than the raw data

Blues accept.

In the series he was. It was a fair battle in the crease. Both goaltenders were amazing. Maybe not just as good because Helly did win the series but still. The say helley won the series for the jets himself is false. The jets outplayed the oilers in their own way. They will never be a possession team but they kept shots to the outside and allowed hellebuyck to see pucks. That last goal of the series is a perfect example of what the jets did all series. They had great sticks in their own zone and kept stuff to the outside. Even when it seems like they were getting dominated they did not lose their d-zone structure. The oilers were outplayed, simple.

I understand just as well what the stats mean and if I don’t know a player, I go off those stats, however, the eye test is much more important and simply going on hockey reference and checking corsi and fenwick doesn’t tell the whole story. It never has.

The oilers outplayed the jets by a good margin. idk what series you watched... oilers outshot them every single game lmao. It was Hellebuyck, make no mistake

of course not, but when what I’m seeing on the ice adds up with what I’m seeing the in the spreadsheets it makes too much sense

Lol, if you are looking at possession and judging jets players, you are already lost. Jets don’t fit that norm cause they are a good team but are a terrible possession team. The oilers dominated possession in that series for a reason, they jets are a brutal possession team. Additionally, the players who are good possession players (ie Copp, morrissey, demelo, pionk) get the toughest matchups. The only players on the jets who are good possession player (our best in the case of ehlers) and don't get tough assignments are ehlers and stastny, and their numbers are stellar (especially in the case of ehelrs). Again I point out, it’s hard to be a good possession team when your d-core consists of morrissey, pionk, a shutdown d in demelo, and 3 3rd pairing guys.

Again, you can’t just look at those numbers. Almost all of morrissey’s minutes are against top lines while being saddled with poolman. This playoffs we saw what he can really do with a capable partner in demelo. The jets defence was simply more effective than the oilers. Yes the oilers had more shots but the jets had more blocks, and more importantly kept shots to the outside. That was the difference in the series. That and the oilers don’t have depth so all the jets d had to do was focus on mcdavid and draisaitl.
