GDT: Jets vs Mighty Ducks (Jan-25th, 9PM) - "Plane Crazy"

[GNP]

Jet's should win this game - I'd say the Sportsbooks have them favored by - 1/2 a goal. They are coming off a great win in San Jose, so I expect them to be pumped.

Chiarot-Myers
Enstrom-Byfuglien

I guess this is the end. We will never see Enstrom-Myers again.

 

[kanadalainen]

How Katy does inform against our D
And sport Chia’s marked revenge! What is a Duck
If their chief good and market of their time
Be but to bleat and sequester in their own zoun?
An aquatic bird, no more.

Soft! The displaced farmleague member may not stay the first line cause,
When his forecheck is not sound enough and continent
To wrest the rubber disc? O, from this time forth
The left wing of the “1st line” be bloody, or be nothing worth!

Sure that the media sugar-coat Kesler with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and sound reason
To elevate his reputation to the subhuman.

Now, whether it be
to drive Dux forwards to their oblivion by the actions of Jets D,
or by some Helle-borne manner
Or thinking too precisely (on the meaning of the Dux team banner),
A thought which, quartered, hath but one part wisdom
And ever three parts sluggard;

Why yet I live to say 'This game's there to win'
The Jets have cause, and will, and strength, and means
To do it.

Where he starts, who he matches up against depends on what line he's on. Playing with Copp means more defensive use, especially at home, which opens up easier matchups for other lines. He's our best defensive RW by a mile right now.

Agree, and as long as PMo is going to stick to the shutdown 3rd line model it makes sense. I'd like to see him getting more offensive opportunities though.

MP, Lowry, Armia would make a good 2 way line. But that is all when Lowry is back. Right now I would like to see Armia with Little and Ehlers or Connor.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Sounds like he is experiencing concussion symptoms then - which means it is a concussion.

Could just be experiencing broken nose symptoms

 

[ocdaddy]

Don't think Connor should have been gifted into the top 6 and don't like Roslo being gifted there either, a guy like Armia may have already earned top 6 minutes yet he never gets promoted! IMO

I hear what your saying but at least we can say farmboy is halfway to 30.

 

[Shazzam]

I must say that for the most part, I'm ok with the way PoMo has been using his players this year. Especially the young uns. Bringing Connor up and putting him in on the top line. That move looked pretty good until recently. Now bringing up Roslo and moving him up to the top line should be interesting.

Using MP on the fourth line was pretty sweet. Gave that line an offensive threat you don't normally get and got all of our lines decent ice time. Putting Wheeler at centre was interesting and kind of worked at the beginning. Not what I would do, but you can't argue our record.
Even giving the press box guys the nod when injuries happened was a pretty good move for overall team moral. I think Dano's played pretty well. Matthias hasn't, but we had to play him to see where he stands.
Still some questionable moves at times, like defensive pairings, but overall I'm not pulling my hair out with his player deployment.

 

[FinJetster]

In every sense of the word the Little line is our top line. They will play more minutes than the Wheeler line. I am not wrong.

So a while ago against the Sabres the Copp line played more minutes than the other lines. So I guess they were our 1st line then?

Sure go with it if you like

The fact that this will be road game #28 vs only 21 home games really gives me alot of hope we might do some serious damage come playoffs , especially if we have home ice advantage . But then again we could also miss the playoffs all together , typical Winnipeg Jets fan

Most statistical models have the Jets 94-97% chance of making the playoffs. It would take a collapse of epic proportions to miss at this point. 15-18 gets us to 95 points

You rock man

Any Jets fans have experience going to Honda Center? We’re staying in Huntington Beach and have a car. Looking for cheap parking wherever (happy to walk as long as we’re not trekking through somewhere scary) and also cheap food and beer.

Thanks JetsBros!

I always have to remind myself of this every time I look at the Central division standings. I guess it's better to play meaningful hockey leading up to the playoffs, but it must be nice knowing you've basically clinched a top 3 finish in your division in January

 

[bustamente]

Games before extended breaks worry me with this team, hope this is not the case tonight. GJG

Zhamnov great GDT once again , Buff as the Bear from Jungle Book is perfect . Would love to see the Jets destroy the Ducks and Corey suckface Perry , the wonderful world of Disney on CBC was something i looked forward to every Sunday night as a little kid . Saturday evening was HNIC and Sunday evening was Disney , what more could you ask for as a little kid .

Great GDT Zhamnov. My thoughts exactly. Disney,Sullivan and Ponderosa, then a bath.

I don't know......
I'm not ready to say we've clinched a top 3 finish just yet. I'm pretty confident that we'll make the playoffs. But the tight fight in the central division kind of makes me nervous. Right now, 57 points can bounce you out of the playoffs. We have 65 pts.
That's only four losses. The margin of error is pretty slim.

 

[jepjepjoo]

based on their play in last month they demoted the wrong winger on the wheeler line to the 4th line.

Laine bashing is really getting out of hand

Definitely.
One of the best players on the ice 2 games ago to benched a game later?
Why hasn't the kid broken Gretzky's records yet?
Lazy punk.

 

[Duke749]

I have been watching him skate in quicksand all year in all 3 zones.

He could have been skating backwards and he’s still been more responsible defensively lately than Connor.

Laine bashing is only a thing if you think people critiquing his play is bashing. Most criticism has been very accurate.
