I’ll have to disagree there. I can see how the W would be important for confidence, but the rest is much more important.More than anything the Jets needed to taste winning again. They absolutely had to get a few games in the win column more than a little rest. They just had 3 full days to rest and practice.
No need to risk injuring players in a game that was completely meaningless standings-wise.
The Oilers just got pounded by the Canucks in their last game, but they didn’t get any injuries. I’m sure they don’t care about that loss at all, and I don’t think it’ll have any effect on how they’ll play tonight.
