Managed to snag some tix in 207! I pray to god we don't sit back against the Caps. Despite them being meh, it could be dangerous .

 

[Boreal]

Keep Ovie quiet and the going should be good. As long as we get some quality shots on net, I do not trust their goaltending to be able to steal this one. If we want to make the playoffs, we have to be able to pick up two points against teams that are having their struggles. Big game coming up, and the Jets have been playing like they mean business as of late.

I have a good feeling, so jets lose 6-1

 

[King Woodballs]

All signs point to win.

So you know what that means.....

Just saw that tsn ticker

Fehr is doing well again / I'm both happy and sad...

For the third time in his career he's scoring at top6 rates per icetime while playing on the third line.

He's getting points slower than Ladd, Wheeler and Kane... but faster than Little, Burmistrov and Antropov.
He's getting goals slower than Ladd, Kane and Wheeler... but almost twice as fast as next best Burmistrov and Jokinen.
(names are in order of rates)

Apparently he's on the 2nd line and may get a shot at the 1st line in the future if he keeps it up.

ahh... I was just going by their teams TOI/gp

 

[allan5oh]

That's because he started on the 4th line.

great, so he's doing for them exactly what i hoped he'd do for us last year what a dink

That's where I got it from. This part is interesting:

“It feels great to be healthy again,” Fehr said. “Obviously last year I wasn’t feeling my best and it showed. So I want to show them what I can do definitely. I want to show them that that wasn’t what I was like last year, and if it helps our team win that would be great.

Which is exactly what we thought last year.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

He came back too early for us, his shoulder was still aching I'm sure. He had the summer + the lockout to rest it and he looks so much better. I watched one of their games where he streaked down the boards and wired it in. I was like WHO IS THIS MAN and my heart kinda sank when it was Fehr.

I hoped he would do it here this year too.

 

[garret9]

Imagine, we could have had...

Ladd-Little-Wheeler
Kane-Antropov-Burmistrov
Mittens-Jokinen-Fehr
Wright-Slater-Peluso

... course some shuffling could be done with those lines as the are flexible

OH WELL hind sight is 20/20

 

[GJF]

I was always pro bringin him back for another 1 year contract at minimun since the end of the last season.

Bummer.

 

[King Woodballs]

his shoulder isnt hurt this year.

it was buggered most if not all of last year

 

[Roooski]

The only sure thing is there is no sure thing when it comes to the way the Jets will play.

So "Crosby's Better" doesn't seem fitting again....whats next? "Semin's Better"? "Musta been Semin"?

Glad to see Fehr is back in the groove. Too bad things didn't work out for him here but probably for the better.

 

[Jet]

I was his biggest supporter and I was sure the Jets would give him a shot this year.


When it didn't happen I kinda figured this would happen. Oh well, glad he's healthy and hope he doesn't hurt us this season.

 

[Tintin's Ghost]

Last 6 games have been best hockey I have seen Jets play, including last year. Really enjoy watching the guys out there. Even last game wasn't as pretty as the blood, sweat and tears they showed on the road but they still found a way to win. Winning ugly is a prerequisite to make the playoffs.

Hope they continue the effort and if they look like slugs then hope Pavs keep them in there until Buff decides enough is enough. The way Caps are playing so far, I would like to see Jets dictate pace of game from puck drop. Ovie is great but not nearly the threat he was 2 years ago.

 

[sully1410]

If anyone sees him out and about, just give him a good luck punch to the shoulder

 

[sipowicz]

|Fehr for Tangradi, Wellwood and a 7th round pick.

You forgot antropov too

 

[dcypher]

It took a while for Fehr's shoulder/arm to heal because it is probably one of these, it takes a while to adjust. lol.

I see the Jets winning 2-1

I really want to see Wright get a goal.
