awesome night coming up tomorrow

First Jets and then the Oscars.

Coach Maurice scrum from practice today - Did he like practice today? There seems to be a swoon post a break associated with this team, what do they have to do to get away from that? What is the key to having success against Colorado? What is the biggest difference in games that come after All-Star break? What was it about the 3rd period last night that stood out for him? Different mode of attack employed last night by Chicago.

Play like they did against the Hawks and we'll be OK.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'm going to this one. Looking forward to a win!

 

[Jetabre]

They're getting back to their game, so I have a good feeling about this one.

 

[Derfel*]

Agreed - both in Vancouver and against Chicago we saw some of the play that got them into the Wildcard spot in the first place. I think we see a clean two-point game come out of this one tomorrow.

If the Jets can't win this one, it will be their 7th straight loss. Even a pee wee hockey team hasn't seen this kind of embarassment

The Leafs have lost 11 in a row...

Wow perreault's beardstache is gone

 

[SCP Guy]

Beat the rockies!!

 

[tbcwpg]

Put in Hutch? If he gets 2 of every 3 you put him in here and give Pavs the Wild, so Hutch can go in Nashville

But they got points in their last 2 and would beat most teams with an effort like last nights. It not like they are the Leafs or the Sabres.

You're referring to the Leafs as a pee wee hickey team?

They'd beat most teams going entire periods with basically no scoring chances? Don't know about that. Both teams last night played real tense.

But at the same time the limited one of the truly elite teams in the league to even fewer good chances. IMO that is how the Jets were successful earlier this year, and how they will be successful down the stretch.

 

[Jet]

The Avs have somehow crept back into the discussion. We need to crush their dreams tomorrow afternoon with 2 clean points.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

The Leafs have lost 11 in a row...

Oh yeah I forgot about them

 

[StronGeer]

The Leafs have lost 11 in a row...

epic jinx.

 

[razorsedge]

Must win.

Must, MUST WIN this game.

 

[Libertyhaze]

I'm going to the game tomorrow, sitting in the 3rd row. It feels like christmas eve for me right now lol. 1-0 at mts centre so far

 

[KingBogo]

Oh yeah I forgot about them

How can a Habs fan forget about the Leafs ineptitude? Shouldn't you revel in every misfortune

 

[ocdaddy]

The Jets will win tomorrow = end the losing streak = starting a new streak of points in 3 consecutive games. Then they can build on this such was the case before the all star break. Then we can start arguing about the white vs. blue at the play-off games again.

And if you're at the game- be loud!

Go Jets Go!!

No Buff on D, the Jets lose again.

The move of Buff to D was the catalyst for all the success the Jets had. It also catapulted him in a legit Norris candidate by playing less than half his games in that position. To me it is lunacy not to go back a formula that was working and winning.

I agree that D is where Buff is at his best, but with him at D the Jets are 13-9-4. With him at Forward, the Jets are 13-9-6. I don't see the direct correlation between where he plays and team success so far, just that we seem to be in lower scoring games when he's up front.
