I’m interested to know what Jets team we’ll see come out against the Blurs tomorrow night. They’re as formidable an opponent as they could have to play

Hi folks,
I'm in Winnipeg as of today to visit relatives for a week. Then back to Montreal. First time back in Winnipeg since 2012. I bought tickets to the Jets/Blues game for my myself my mother ( who never seen a NHL game )
The last time I seen the Jets and Blues play in the rink was in the early 90s when my dad was still alive.
Looking forward to seeing for the first time this supposedly loud Bell MTS center.
Cheers

Great story love it!!

BellMTS centre is not loud anymore. Still a fun venue to watch live hockey though so enjoy the game.

Blues then the Blues. I don’t watch afternoon games on TV anymore but I might try to catch the game tomorrow night.

Blues have a 6 game win streak going so hopefully Hellebuyck can put an end to that. Our team has had three days to let that putrid excuse of an effort against the Habs eat at their souls. I expect a solid effort tomorrow night.

Blues got better since last year adding Falk.

The Jets...

 

[PhilJets]

Time for the Jets 2.0 longest winning streak...

 

[voyageur]

This is an important series. And a measuring stick for the Jets, against the Champs. If they don't get 2 points out of it, they could find themselves on the outside of the playoff race again. Friday night games are the best, hopefully there is a festive spirit in the crowd. I am amazed how quiet our crowds have become.

 

[jetsforever]

Would be nice to beat the Blues, GJG!

Hoping the boys get a little redemption in St. Lou tomorrow afternoon. It's a matinee game so that should bode well for us, right? Aren't we something like 6-0 in afternoon games this season?

EDIT: Can confirm...
Nov 10 1:00 PM vs Dallas 3-2 OTW
Nov 16 3:00 PM @ Tampa Bay 4-3 W
Nov 29 3:00 PM @ Anaheim 3-0 W
Dec 8 2:00 PM vs Anaheim 3-2 W
Dec 15 4:00 PM vs Philadelphia 7-3 W
Dec 21 1:00 PM @ Minnesota 6-0 W

Hellebunk usually does not play like garbage in back to back games.

Hopefully he only lets in 2 goals this time and gives the team a chance to win.

 

[ffh]

Blues got better since last year adding Falk.

The Jets...

They dont have Chevy as gm.

The Jets...

Jets have no Copp, Little ,Perreault or Byfuglien and still took the Stanley Cup Chumpions to overtime.

If 37 did not play like garbage the Jets win in regulation.

 

[Jets 31]

They dont have Chevy as gm.

Chevy made a great trade with Pionk which freed up cap space to sign Laine and Connor this past off season . Then when Chevy's number 1 defenseman went MIA he was able to get Sbisa for nothing which has helped our defense while basically having no cap space . Don't know what GM could have done a better job really .
