Tokarski in net. Game on TSN. Good night sleep and home cooking. I expect a much better result

I have to go out tomorrow night! Too bad it wasn't last night instead. Hope I miss a good one!

 

[Teemusalami204]

I'm going to this one! Hopefully buff and little are back but I doubt it. I bet they will come back after this home stand

 

[CorgisPer60]

Tokarski, huh? our chances of winning just went up. I'm going to be at the Wheat Kings game tomorrow, so I'll only be able to follow on the NHL app.

@snseanreynolds: Interesting to watch #Canadiens practices vs #NHLJets. Clear the Habs focus on flow while Jets focus on structure. Contrasting styles indeed

After last night, I don't want to hear anything from a Sportsnet personality ever again.

Bergevin must have worked things out with his pal Chevy!

 

[tntkid]

Of all the Canadian teams the Jets can only seem to beat Toronto & Edmonton.

They always seem to have problems with Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal & Vancouver.

It's kind of insulting that we get Tokarski

I'll take it

Edit: I also really dislike losing to the Canadiens, so GJG

I ran into a guy last night who said he was going to be at the Jets game, but was going to be cheering for the Habs. He smelled of strong alcohol, too. I don't want to see him go home happy.

Well, at least he had some redeeming qualities.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Tokarski in eh?


Great...now its a trap game!

A damn dirty trap game!

Yep, really like these kind of insults. Felt good about our chances before; feel better about them now. Be really hopeful if we could get a body or two back into the lineup.

 

[Troubaloobaloop]

Absolutely praying to see Buff or Little return, I'm getting weary of not having them.

I'll settle with just Little, to start. I am really tired of watching too much Slater.

No Harrison/Pardy would also be nice...

Thank you Habs for giving us a chance.

 

[bluefan]

Thank God Price won't play. Habs fast paced style could mean terrible things against that Harrison/Pardy pairing.....

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Should be interesting to watch. The Habs have a terrific style of passing and moving creatively in the danger zone whereas the Jets have an improved and aggressive defensive corps. The Habs do not need to win this game, but they have the talent and direction to score. What the Habs really want is to walk away without anyone injured. So here's the deal, the Habs will pressure the Jets defense but will not score if the Jets pretend the Habs are wearing orange jerseys. But when we meet for the Stanley cup finals the deal is off.

 

[EveryDay]

As a Habs fan I really like the Jets!!!!!! Hopefully this game got in OT so at least 1 points for both team!!!!

 

[Gil Fisher]

Did the Jets not practice today?

 

[KingBogo]

We really do need to start getting some players back. I'd think it would give the team a real jump.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Maurice has said that Little is going to have to have a full contact practice before he can come back, so that would be Chicago at the earliest. Buff was ready to go at one point and then scratched, so not sure what his requirements are.

Slater puts forth 100% effort night in and night out. The problem is that other than faceoffs, playing 3rd line centre on a nightly basis is far too much to expect from a player clearly on the decline.

The Jets are lacking a veteran centre who can play the game. Even when Little is back and Slater on the 4th line that position clearly needs to be upgraded.

Odell seems too soft in his own end.

This team will get a real boost if anyone can ever return from injury.
