The red wings are a hockey team, that's about all you can say about em. 7-21-3, -58 goal differential. I don't care what people say about parity in the league, you need to win these two games.

Agree - but that means you can't take them for granted - parity y'know. Show up to play like they were your closest rival and take both games cleanly.

 

[The Blue Baron]

4 points are needed here!

These guys are chumps and we cannot lay more eggs ala Vs Kings.

Croissant has got to be motivated for the first game no doubt.

Spirited effort would be appreciated.

 

[SUX2BU]

Don’t take Detroit for granted ..... they’ll play this team tough

 

[Shazzam]

I'm predicting a split, just because that's what we generally seem to do. Hoping I'm wrong and we win both.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Remember when playing Detroit meant a guaranteed loss for the Jets? How the mighty have fallen.

 

[10Ducky10]

Two dominant wins by the Jets would suit me just fine.

Like in the mid 90s during the twilight of Jets 1.0?

Jets 2.0 are 8-4-1 vs. Detroit...

2 wins period will do me just fine . Detroit is still a NHL hockey team and can still win any game just not very many .

Yzerman has them tanking in the right season...

Yes, that’s the era I’m talking about. Wasn’t pretty with Fedorov, Yzerman, Datsyuk, Lidstrom, etc clowning us regularly.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

This sums up the Red Wings so far this season...

Amazing sound FX. Reminds me of the Schmockey Night they use to do in Winnipeg!

 

[ocdaddy]

Will be good to face the Red Wings without Comrie between the pipes.

 

[Ducky10]

What’s with these goofy home and home series? Especially with a non divisional opponent? What’s the point of that?

Make sure the Dead Things stay dead Jets. Desperate teams are extra trappy, beware.

The balance of power can change in a heartbeat. Colorado was an automatic win a couple of years ago.

I’m sure he’ll start one of these games.

 

[Neuf]

I thought Jets gave them like a quarter of their wins that year

 

[Ducky10]

Will reopen this thread tomorrow for the Dec 12 game. GDT is up for tonight.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Open

 

[jefferoni]

Okay, onto home-and-home part deux!

Agreed. Zero excuse not to get the two points, IF the Jets keep playing like they have. They proved yesterday that they can take half a game off and still trounce the Red Wings.
