GDT: Jets @ Leafs • Tue, Feb 21 • 630PM CT • TSN3

[DanyHeatley]

I will actually be cheering for your team to win tonight, despite the injuries you've costed Ottawa. I want the Jets to make it to the playoffs. Oh and also Laine >>>>> Matthews. Respect

 

[Ducky10]

Hard to imagine the league letting Matthews lose to the Jets twice. Looking for some ref shenanigans, the ACC should be good for influencing two crucial Jet penalties.

Every bone in my body hates the Laffes, I loathe them. Please don't lose Jets.

GJG!

Last toronto game was the happiest Ive ever been as a Jets fan.

Agreed, and my Stanley Cup would be the Jets beating the Leafs twice.

Go! Jets! Go!

 

[SensibleGuy]

If we can bring the heavy game evident the last few games tonight and (sans our #1 D man) pull off a victory, I might actually feel a slight tingle of optimism that a miracle might be brewing for the remainder of this season. C'mon Jets! Gimme a slight tingle pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!

This is a statement game for the Jets.

With Trouba out, everyone needs to concentrate on their defensive responsibilities.

Hellebuyck needs to be a wall.



Go! Go!

 

[kunekune]

Apparently Melchiori slots in to 2nd pair and Stafford takes Tanevs place in 4th line. Otherwise same as last game.

Stafford over Dano is fantastic news!!!!...... If you are a Leafs fan

And what statement would that be?

It's been about 2 years since any Jets fan has been happy to see Druseless Stafford in the lineup...

 

[untouchable21]

Lots of optimism here, but with no Trouba, Enstrom and Myers, my prediction is ...

Leafs 4
Jets 2

Unfortunately for the Jets I've been pretty bang on with my predictions since the Tampa game.

Jets come out with a DUD of a game tonight. TSN anoints Matthews the greatest of all-time for what he does versus AHL level defensemen.

Glad I'll be working and will miss this one. My tv will avoid damage.

[Babooch]

I like the Jets physical play of late and hope both teams come out unscathed. When HF whines excessively about hitting I feel bad for hockey.

 

[abax44]

This is what Illegalcurve had:

Ehlers-Little-Wheeler
Perreault-Scheifele-Laine
Matthias-Lowry-Armia
Tanev-Petan-Thorburn

D lines are still in flux as Jacob Trouba was skating this morning.

Hellebuyck & Hutchinson

Edit - didn't see Aavco's post above.

 

[kunekune]

I saw Melchiot <-> Trouba , Stafford <-> Tanev in dailyfaceoff. They are usually reliable so don't know if they just made a quess.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Ok. If this is not a jinx on their part...

At first glance I missed the little T. Read it as SPATS. Whaaat?

 

[Duke749]

Dano probably won't come back till after the break. He'll be a nice addition to the line up.

They might have got that from Lawless' twitter reporting. I tried to question him on it but got no response.

 

[Lempo]

three take-aways:

1. god, those are f'ing ugly

No, they are beautiful.

Come on - let's not resort to conspiracy theories.

Amen to this!

My little 6-year-old hockey fan is so pumped for this game. He's a big Laine fan, whereas one of his buddies is a big Leafs/Matthews fan. So my son keeps asking me to confirm that Laine is better, than the Jets are sure to win tonight... I mean as soon as he learns to type he'll fit right in on the main boards!

Glad? Personally I'm festering on that agreeging to do my buddy's morning shift tomorrow after having an evening shift today may have been an extremely silly move.

I'll probs wake at three at night to Kessel-like feeling that there's something I should be doing.

My plan is to wake up at 4 AM, check the score from my phone and continue my sleep if i don't like what i'm seeing.

 

[Huffer]

Wow. Just need to add Strait for completeness.

 

[Ducky10]

Nah, just being a cynic, and priming the excuse pump. We can't have the Leafs just win for no good reason .
