If you watch this video and then compare their play to the past few games, you will notice that the playing style of the jets have changed. If you watch hockey psychology on YouTube daily, you’ll see that every team is trying to copy Florida.

jets have been going to zone in their own end. You’ll notice Washington’s d-men were taking liberty shots all night on comerie. They were unchallenged all night long.
-
ehlers leaving left a hole on the pp1 with less options for zone entry and regular 5 on 5
-
200 ft ice, defensive pressure seems to be non existent from last year, they seem to be rushing back to just play zone. We do have 4 new guys in the lineup so it might be an adjustment period
-
a lot of guys seem to be out of breath (Toews and jomo) at the end of their shifts. Either age or conditioning problems which explains all the 2 on 1 scoring chances lately
I think the big gamble is to sneak into the playoffs and use paul Maurice hockey system of KISS (keep it simple stupid) hockey and wait for turnovers to make a deep playoff run while relying on helllybuck to keep us in the game but i’d rather see us go down playing bones hockey system.

I really can’t take people seriously when they talk about missing ehlers entries on the powerplay
I think the league all studied the president trophy winners of last year. The jets were really unstoppable and were #1 all season. They got very closely examined in the offseason, and now are emulated and countered.
We have some star players but the things the jets did aren’t things that other teams can’t do… better. I think its safe to say the brand of hockey the jets played last season had them punching above their weight class regularly, and the game will adapt to that.
As soon as one team finds a Crack in your system, they all have it. Our dmen are suuuper pressured in the ozone.
It’s gotten better recently but we were so bad behind our own net with all 3 of fleury schenn and Stanley in the line up. Salo made a couple mistakes but he is better than fleury and schenn for sure I hope he sticks around frankly.
But I agree and it’s a pet peeve of mine, I can tell when the jets are going to get eaten alive because there is a lot of “fake” pressure on the puck. It’s not real pressure it’s like performative, and the whole team seems to call it in like that sometimes.
the problems this team has are the same ones they had last season just amplified because players have got worse/ haven’t got any better and because ehlers is gone which has tanked a whole line of production. iafallo needs to be on the 4th line, nino needs to be on a 4th line. pearson needs to be overseas.
