3 bad games in Winnipeg with 1 win
3 good games in Nashville with 2 wins
Take the Jets, folks

The Jets have played better in Nashville that's for sure.
If we can score first, we can beat them.

A pint of dark matter, please.
I'm so into these games. Maybe too much?
Nah.
I like the Jets' chances - especially if they lay down a solid game, and keep the Preds to the periphery.
Embarrassed at home, and the Jets have two days to stew about it. Mark Messier semi-famously made the point that the loser of game 6 always feels the most urgency in game 7.
We've got this, folks!

Win or lose it has been a solid year, expectations exceeded! Having said that one more would be nice.

I predicted a 7 game series, but I did not predict how we would get here.
I really thought the Jets would win their 3 home games and the Preds would win their 3 home games and we would be 3-3. I know it is the same as what we have and we are in the same place, but I would be more happy to have sat thru 3 wins at home instead of what we got.
Going in to the series most people thought all we had to do was win one game in Nashville... but now we are looking at having to win 3 games in Nashville... this is a big ask.
It is 50-50 IMO, but it's amazing how this last game is going to come down to who can score first. Jets score first then the Preds have to open it up and that helps the Jets. Preds score first and shut it down and it appears we have no solution for that.

Nothing to worry about here. We've won every odd numbered game this series - Game 7 (odd) is ours.
White Out 902
I'm usually right.
So I'm fairly confident going into this one, all things considered. Normally a game 7 on the road after blowing the 6th game is a bad sign/omen, but, the fact is home teams have stunk so far in this series. This to me is at least a coin flip.
I'm already feeling a little nervous and anxious, can't imagine how I'll feel Thursday. I feel like pressure will squarely be back on Nashville and that should give us a boost.
Oh and for god sakes can we leave Hendricks in Manitoba?

Am also of the belief the the Jets have been feeling the pressure when playing in front of the home crowd (essentially 25k-35K). The only consistency I've seen in the series is that we've come out flat in the 1st period in all 6 previous games. Game 7 will not be the time to continue this trend. Looking for the positives, Nashville will feel the pressure far more than the Jets on Thursday. If we can just play well in the 1st and get that first goal.. Nashville will play scared the rest of the game and I think we can beat them.

I don't like the idea of having to score first -- because I think all great teams should be able to come from behind and win. Teams with will and character can do this.
With that being said--it certainly appears in this series, whoever scores first, has a very big advantage. I guess we're going to have to score first, and hope Helle has a "lights out" game, and we could be OK --and win this game.
This is going to be a very fast and gritty game, and will be won within 1 goal IMO. The Jet's can beat these guys.
I'd very much like to see Maurice develop some strategies for their defensive "trap game"--in the event Nashville scores first. This is critical, as we had 3 power plays in the 1st period, and hardly got a shot on net. Something should be done about this.

3 PP gifts in a 1-0 game has to result in something better than a 4-0 game

Player audio from today's availability: Stastny, Perreault and Hellebuyck.
Coach Maurice scrum topics: What kind of wisdom does he impart on his team for game 7? Is there any difference in preparation for a game 7? What is his experience in game 7s? How much pressure is on him to come up with a winning combination? How much does youth/experience factor into game 7? What does Nikolaj Ehlers have to do to get going in this series? Feeling “juice” as they approach game 7? Why has home ice not been an advantage to either team? Considering how close these two teams are what is gonna be the difference on Thursday? How do the players maintain focus? On how they got to game 7. Why has it been so different? Why has there been no momentum? Does he get the sense that anyone needs “picking up” today? On Connor Hellebuyck’s fierce competitiveness.

Even though I'm not superstitious I recall this guy bringing us luck this season when he was posted in Pre-GTs and GDTs so I figure what the heck...
Anybody else remember other things that brought us good luck or our opponent bad luck? Feel free to post them...

Predicting the Jets to lose doesn't make you a realist.Hmm, seem to have a lot of these in this poll.
Come on, people. Commit! It's not like anyone is going to shoot your dog (0r cat) if you're wrong. Let's see if you're an optimist or a realist.

A couple of things to keep in mind for Thursday's game in Nashville. 1) The Jets only finished 3 points behind the Predators at the end of the season. Those that believe Nashville is so much stronger because they finished 1st overall may have overlooked how close the Jets came to finishing 1st themselves. 2) Although the Predators made it to the Stanley Cup finals last year, let's remember that they were the last team to qualify for the playoffs in the Western conference. The Predators are no more deserving to advance past the 2nd round this year than the Jets are.
The Jets don't need to take a back seat to Nashville just because some members of the Predators think they deserve to advance based on their hard work and experience. Winnipeg had an awesome season this year and has earned the right to be one of the final four and moreso than Nashville did last year.
