鈥淲e weren鈥檛 ready to go,鈥� said Jets head coach Scott Arniel. 鈥淚鈥檒l take responsibility for that. We were not ready to go throughout our lineup. Player one to 20 were not ready to go. They got the better of us.鈥�

When pressed on why his team did not match the urgency of the moment, Arniel kept his answer brief.

鈥淒on鈥檛 worry about it. That鈥檚 my (message) to the team. We will talk about that,鈥� a visibly frustrated Arniel said. 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 told them yet. We鈥檒l have our discussion, we鈥檒l go through our review of the game, and then we鈥檒l talk about it when we get to Vegas.鈥�

The Jets saw their once-promising push for the post-season take a devastating hit on Saturday night with the lopsided defeat to the Flyers 鈥� a game they desperately needed to win. With 82 points in 79 games, the Jets (35-32-12) entered the game needing points to keep pace in the Western Conference wild-card race.

Instead, the gap only widened.

Both the Los Angeles Kings, who defeated the Edmonton Oilers 1-0, and the Nashville Predators, who edged the Minnesota Wild 2-1, earned valuable wins. The Jets now sit five points back of the Kings for the final wild-card spot and four points behind the ninth-place Predators.

The frustration was palpable in the Jets鈥� locker room. Defenceman Josh Morrissey didn鈥檛 mince words about the performance in front of a sold-out home crowd.

鈥淭he message is no one wants to lose like that,鈥� Morrissey said. 鈥淚t was embarrassing in our own arena, but at the same time, what are we going to do, sit around and cry about it? We have three games left and a huge back-to-back, a tough road trip. Turn the page, fly there tomorrow, and get yourself ready to go and let鈥檚 bring it to the next game.鈥�

Captain Adam Lowry noted the team was acutely aware of the stakes but simply failed to execute.

鈥淚t鈥檚 one of those ones whether we lost we lost 7-1 or 3-2, it鈥檚 critical points we lost,鈥� Lowry said. 鈥淎nd now we know the situation we鈥檙e in that we pretty much have to pick up every point the rest of the way. Hopefully, we can get some help.鈥�

Despite the magnitude of the moment, Arniel rejected the notion that the intensity of the playoff race caused his team to stumble. The Jets have been playing 鈥渕ust-win鈥� hockey for several weeks trying to claw their way back into the playoff picture.

鈥淚f the intensity caught you or it鈥檚 too much pressure, then you鈥檙e in the wrong business,鈥� the coach said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what this is. This time of the year, and the second half, this is what you play the game for, (to) get into these situations. We鈥檝e handled them extremely well, until today. It just imploded.鈥�

The Jets have three games remaining to pull off what feels like a miracle, starting Monday against the Golden Knights in Vegas. They then face the Utah Mammoth the very next night to conclude a back-to-back on the road, before returning home for the regular-season finale against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.

鈥淲e need our next three games to be our three best of the year,鈥� Lowry said.
