I hope Kyle Connor's injury is simply day to day. I hope Strome gets a good suspension.
A few other differences - they had a police officer sitting mid-row by the glass. The attendant checksJust back to the hotel after seeing the game in Anaheim. Great to see the boys come back and get the two points! Really hope KFC is going to be ok.
A few thoughts on seeing a game in Anaheim:
- it was a thin crowd this evening... The rink felt only 2/3 full. I got my tickets from Ticketmaster (not resale) for 19 bucks - that is waaay cheaper than the cheapest Jets tickets. I know circumstances are different everywhere, but I really think people need to stop obsessing over the Jets games attendance. Lots of teams have trouble filling their rinks at various points in time.
- there were lots of other Jets fans at the game. It was a blast cheering with my fellow Winnipeggers in California.
-Anaheim fans were all friendly and polite. Even after we went ahead and then won the game. Classy fans!
Can't wait to see the Jets take on the Kings on Wednesday!
Booooo PLD Booooo
GJG!

I'd like to see either of these 2 guys called up. My preference would be Lambert, but Chibrikov is OK with me. Their both good, and "fast."
- Yeah I was surprised how little the 50/50 was! I guess people who go to Ducks games aren't the gambling type.A few other differences - they had a police officer sitting mid-row by the glass. The attendant checks
A few other game notes:
They had a police officer sitting mid-row against the glass in my section.
An attendant was going seat to seat checking that everyone was sitting in the correct spot. Decent parking for $10 with a 7 minute walk (unlike LA where parking is crazy expensive, sold-out, or far away).
Based upon comments I heard in the crowd (ex: why is the goalie leaving the net), there were some fans who've never been to a game.
Intermission included 2 kids teams competing in a shootout contest (some very nice goals). There was a contest between 2 rows to see which could pass a duck seat to seat from one end of the row to the other.
50/50 was $9000 (4500 for winner)
Music was at a reasonable level.
Wide corridors.
Agree, I think it is unlikely the Jets call up one of the kids. We have a deep enough forward group that they will continue with the development plan on the Moose. It would be a nice reward for Malott to get some NHL paychecks, for all the work he has done down on the farm. Saying that any callup is likely seeing mostly PB duty on a team that has been humming along and is now first in the Central. Axel will play and Iafallo will be slotted in the top 6 somewhere, though I'd like to see Vilardi on the 1st with Scheifele and Ehlers.I would love to see Chibrikov but I think it will be Jeff Malott. He has been the best veteran on the Moose. I just think Winnipeg is not one to rush someone like Lambert or Chibrikov to the NHL. It would be more likely if Bowness feels reshuffling the lines would be harmful though.
Nice view of the standings this morning.
Thanks @Krauser, this information is very specific.It looks like a simple hyperextension injury to me.
The knee-to-knee contact is head on. Connor's knee hyperextends without much rotational force. There's no significant lateral deformity of the joint as he's flying through the air or when he's lying on his side.
A hyperextension mechanism of injury often results in a PCL sprain/tear. PCL injuries feel immediately unstable, which would fit with Connor holding his knee still lying on the ice and not trying to get up until helped.
The injury could of course be more complicated, but he didn't seem to be in that much pain as you might expect with a fracture (to the tibia or patella) or from a multiligament injury.
Uncomplicated PCL injuries don't necessarily require surgery. Recovery is usually 2-3 months.
Now why can't they do that in Winnipeg? Always hated going to Jets games and having to wait til the play was started before I could talk to the other guys or hear them.A few other game notes:

That would be nice to see, but imagine trying to enforce that criteria on one of the superstars like McDavid or Matthews if they happen to intentionally injure a player (every player can lose their cool) and they have to be suspended for possibly months? That's not good for business and that's why they will never have a rule like that.Stupid plays like that should result in the player who takes a penalty, gets suspended until the player who was injured returns. Not sure how guys will learn that plays like that don't belong in the game.
Yup. In the speed of the game with how competitive it is stuff happens. I'm a very clean player but I've accidentally stuck my leg out before. You feel terrible and you never mean to hurt someone.One thing I know from sports replays is that in slow motion everything looks kind of intentional. But in the heat of the moment it's a bit more blurry. Sometimes what looks like an attempt to injure can just be someone reaching to finish a hit or another guy kind of unexpectedly moving out of the way. So I dunno, benefit of the doubt from me I guess.
I checked out a game at the Honda Center late last season and I found it pretty average at best. It's a nice 90s rink but with very little atmosphere which is to be expected given that the Ducks are not a contender at all... in some ways it's a glimpse at what CLC would be like if the Jets decided to go through a legit rebuild, haha. I do agree that people need to chill with the attendance freak-outs, the NHL isn't going to revoke the franchise because it's not sold out every night. Anaheim plays to maybe a 2/3 full arena most nights and no one in Orange County gets too worked up about it.Agree with the comments above. I've been to a few games in Anaheim and it's always great.

That's not to say it's never done intentionally, and any of the really dangerous plays need to be punished regardless of intent (knee on knee, slewfoot, hitting from behind, primary contact with head).

JoMo was out there driving offense as they chased the game and he was also the lead minute guy on the PP (which was a significant portion of the game) - he was going to take most of the minutes regardless of who Samberg was teamed with.You mean two wins despite big Stan... Samberg is stifled because we don't have a talented partner for him so he plays 12 mins a game.
I think because of the 5 and a game misconduct he doesn't get suspended.
Look at the picture again. No player skates with his feet spread apart.One thing I know from sports replays is that in slow motion everything looks kind of intentional.
