Post-Game Talk: We Win Finally Jets 7 Oilers 5

[bustamente]

Canucks doing to the Leafs what every team should do to them, hit, hit, hit. Doesn't matter who the Leafs added they are still pillowy soft

 

[Stumbledore]

Mr Ehlers . , did you play tonight lol


Yes. Calgary is the only team really preventing us right now from a playoff spot

Look at how many games Nashville has in hand over us.

All this positive talk about the defence is weird. We let in 5 goals!

Entertaining game, though. I will actually take this over the boring slog of February.

 

[White Out 902]

Winning is funner than losing. I'm all for tanking if we suck. But I dont want to suck.

Edmonton has a good PP , 5 on 5 i thought our defense played well .

 

[The Blue Baron]

Oh crap, I missed a classic eh! Certainly relieved we won!

Gotta watch that when I get back from Brandon.

Great news this morning though!!!

 

[Jets 31]

We are 6 points up on Nashville, they have 3 games in hand but they have to win those 3 games and i think we have the tie breaker too .

 

[Potrzebie]

I think it was Maenalanens leg position when he hit him but I think that was more about his approach angle and getting beside him to make the hit legal.

Justice was served on that play because fighting because your player was legally hit is about the stupidest f***ing thing in the nhl today.

Oilers got punished for it and the Jets made them pay.

Can you imagine having that Nurse contract dragging your team down? Besides being impressed that he caught up to Connor on a partial breakaway I didn't see anything that would even suggest he's worth near that much.

Imagine having Campbell's contract on top of Nurse's

Edmonton has a good PP , 5 on 5 i thought our defense played well .

Their PP is insane. Good luck in the POs when those penalties stop getting called though

Look at their roster.

Actually i probably should have used this gif instead.

The thing about games in hand means you are playing a lot games in a short period of time at the end of the season which is a bad thing.

 

[Jets 31]

Morrissey played so well we should play his happy uplifting goal song.

 

[DRW204]

NSH has had a bit of a softer schedule lately that allowed them to make some ground. Vancouver, SJS, Zona and Chicago in 4 of the past 6 gp. Saros could certainly carry that team. But given the rosters I'd give us the upper hand

One of the challenges Nashville will face is they have had to get points in 9 strait games just to kind of get somewhat into the hunt. There are always ebbs and flows to seasons but they are due to cool off and Winnipeg is due to warm up.

Unless we go on another losing streak and Nashville doesn't...

Loved the game . We continued to fight and answer goals from edm.

We played with emotion and I was proud of our guys .

Loved the hit on mcdavid. I don’t mind having to fight after a clean hit . Players knowing they will have to potentially fight after hitting a star player opens up more space for the stars. As it will scare players away from big hits on them. It’s just part of the politics of hockey that needs to be there imo .

Bottom 6 is scoring well for a short period and we need it to continue.

I love watching ehlers skate around but it never amounts to a goal. At the end of the game he didn’t seem as happy as everyone else . Looks like he feels he isn’t contributing as he wants too.

Let’s keep it going

Sorry I missed this one - but I did win some HNIC swag at least...

Good luck to them ... Nashville has 5 B2B games coming up plus 15 games are against playoffs teams so if they can win them they deserve to be in the playoffs.

There also my be a very small incentive for NSH to lose maybe 1 or 2 more games and pick a few positions higher in a deep draft.

Not sure how they'll play it. Maybe play like hell for as long as they're in it, and then Blues their way to a better draft slot?

The players don't care about draft spots.

I was thinking more of who gets on the ice.

 

[raideralex99]

Don't forget the draft is in Nashville this year ... some say that's one of the reason the Preds were sellers along with a new GM who wants to build his team.

 

[tbcwpg]

I think with who is left, this is as tanky as it gets for Nashville. They're limited to 4 callups now anyway.

 

[DRW204]

For the year all 3 of WPG NSH and CGY are pretty close in goals for per game.

But who do you trust the most down the stretch? Helle, Markstrom or Saros? Think it's Helle even with a rougher past 2ish months.

Saros can certainly get hot and carry the team. But without ekholm and nino their worse off, and Johansen gone for the year.

I think we're pretty safe.
