GDT: Game #19: Canadiens @ Jets | Thu Feb 25 7pm CST | TSN3/TSN2/RDS | "Wait, there's a 7th team now?"

[RetroWinnipeg]

After a pretty successful road trip, the Jets are back home again.

But over in Habs Country, looks like some coaches got the boot.

Will the Jets be able to take advantage of a team in flux, or have the Canadiens regained competency?
(But good for Alex Burrows. Nice to see how far he's come since his Moose years.)
A new opponent emerges for the Jets: how will this outfit handle Mystery Team #6?


Montreal Canadiens 9-5-4 (22 pts; 4th in Scotia North Division)
Winnipeg Jets - 11-6-1 (23 pts; 3rd in Scotia North Division)

Thanks for the GDT @RetroWinnipeg , Jets are just getting warmed up, Dubois, Scheifele and Wheeler are going to have a good game again and be too much for Montreal. This guy represents Montreal's season so far, they started out happy but not so much as they got going.

 

[Jets 31]

Song for tonight is what Chevy sings to Dubois everyday.

 

[Repoman]

Montreal is going to come out like gang busters. We need to start on time and not give up early goals like we did vs. Dedmoton.

 

[leer2006]

I hate the hab’s. come on Jet’s come out hard and kickem in the teeth!

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks, Retro

As I said in the pre-game thread, f*** the new coach mentality that is expected when one is hired.

Everyone has a plan ‘til they get punched in the mouth

time to punch some yaps ....

 

[Jets 31]

As @Aggie204 said Marc looks like a Bee Gee.

Current Jets vs Habs all-time : 7W - 14L

we will see...

One of those losses was in OT.
Give us some credit

 

[JetsUK]

Man thanks for the GDT, ThrowbackRiverCity!

Agree that we're going to have to come out strong and weather the storm on this one, would be nice to score the first few and take 'er from there.

Had planned to wear my brand-new PLD jersey for this one, but my mum screwed up and ordered a Maurice Richard from Monsieur Eaton, so here's hoping those moths get to it quick...

 

[The Blue Baron]

As @Aggie204 said Marc looks like a Bee Gee.

I think he looks terrible!

thanks Retty for the GDT

Thank the lord this guy isn’t our GM. He must had provocative photos of the Molson family to still have a job. + Price is overrated as shit!

PLD sticks it to his name provincial team with 2 goal effort.

5-1 Jets

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Started the morning slipping on some ice and landing right on my back and ass, hard. It was like a full on Charlie Brown kicking the football slip. Now in some pain. I need a Jets win!

 

[Weezeric]

I think the Habs are really going to regret not going hard after PLD. Hopefully, that begins tonight.

 

[SUX2BU]

Why the hell is Thompson rated higher than Lowry?

 

[ryerockarola]

As @Aggie204 said Marc looks like a Bee Gee.

"We have a short season, almost a quarter of the way through already"

18GP, 56 game season. Maybe Bergevin thinks the season's 82 games.

Nice thread RetroWinnipeg! With Habs' new coach, Jets' back at home after a road-trip and having more than 2 days off, let's be ready from the get-go, hopefully get the first goal and beat the Habs! Go Jets!

I saw you. Just kidding, hopefully you aren't hurt too bad.

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @RetroWinnipeg - nice GDT.

Go Jets Go

Because whomever makes those ratings is an idiot

People bashing Bergevin but he's managed to make some pretty shrewd moves and the Habs have quite a bit of young, high end talent.

I think firing the coach is probably a little crazy at this point but he's right in thinking that roster should be performing much better.

They have to play a better offensive game. That's how they jump to an early lead in the North division ....

 

[Jets 31]

Not a word about Dubois? That's ok he's our secret weapon.

 

[JetsFan815]

Maybe the Jets will have more success against the Habs at the MTS Center without the traitors in the building.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Nice GDT Retro

Am I missing something? Didn’t we aquire PLD to gain depth at C? Yet we are not doing that.. Is this Mo being Mo?
Or, have I missed the beat?

Oh, and GJG

 

[kanadalainen]

Not from the stars does Bergevin’s judgment pluck;
As methinks I have covered astronomy,
But he’s here to pump the Hab’s evil luck,
With fancy-assed hairdo, and his new coach’s quality;
But nor can Mo fortune to Pricer’s goaltending tell,
Pointing to beseech his wingers, with pain and wind,
He prances with media princes if it shall go well,
But oft we predict that to hell he’ll descend.
Rally from his eyes - thy PLD’d result is derived,
And, our second line stars, in them they read such art
Pucks fly from clapp’d bombs - we together shall thrive,
Let Lurch shake thou Gallagher, Toffoli and slay their convert;
The well-rested Jets of whom I prognosticate:
Is the seal of Habs’ defenders and forwards doom and date.
