Most important thing for me tonight, another flat and deflated 1st period against a team that destroyed us will be very telling. With 4 days off, the guys better have the pedal to the floor and come out strong with speed and physicality.
Perrault, Little and Buff are out. Ekblad is back in. I'd feel a lot better with LU in net but Ellis has been decent so far. I was listening to "JETS LUNCH radio" today and the main guy had Billy on. I agree with everything he said about how "we didn't capitalize on our chances to catch/overtake Boston" and not relying on the easy "we've had a lot of injuries".
Billy also talked about the 96 team beating Jagr and the CHARACTER of that team was unreal. He also added Thornton "has been a real positive vibe in the room for the young guys". I really like Billy and wish they would reverse his and Potivn's role. Give the 1st intermission to Potvin and the "in-between bench" gig.
I'm excited for this game, hoping and praying for a stellar 1st period. NEED 2 pts and a TBL win in regulation. Welcome back #5.
, I'm rocking Jameson whiskey tonight!
