55, 81 and 13 had like no shots on net until the half way through the 2nd. Jets not get Larry enough starts to qualify for the Jennings isn’t a great look. Almost as bad a scratching Gus for the first games in his rookie year then playing him the game after his parents left for Sweden.
The key to that game was scoring first the Jets trailed the Stars in every other game and made them chase the game. This teams deficiencies are magnified when they play from behind players that already want to cheat for offense do so even more. I agree find the whole we are on a winning streak and beat the best team argument funny – they looked horrible against the Preds and the Stars game easily could go a different direction if they don't get on the board first. The team is basically in the same spot after beating the Ranger. They beat a good playoff team, now the hard part bring that level of energy, focus and effort every game. Looking at the playoffs last year they dominated the Knights in that first game and never found that level of execution the rest of the series – finding consistency seems to be a problem for this team.
The positive my eyes saw was a Jets team that looked like the team that played well before Xmas. Limiting the other team's chances and taking advantage of their opportunities. The coaching is too suborn to sit Pionk or play the line combo's that the analytics show, so our only chance is for the team to play the same format going forward as we saw tonight

At least 81 and 55 didn't get scored on lol
Don't forget when playing Vegas, we lost our best players to injury during the series.
