Post-Game Talk: Jets 4 - Kraken 3

[Jet]

I don't think it's important enough to not give some guys a bit of a break.

So, why don't we do both?

Question ? Does Samberg stop a sure goal every game ? Man is he turning into a very solid defenseman .

Yeah he's really impressive to watch

Hopefully Vancouver has the same outlook and we win the AHL game.

Difference is we can scratch like 4 top guys and still have all nhl players.

I'd scratch:

Pionk and Morrissey
Schiefele and Connor

 

[Jet]

Only watched the last 10 minutes. Was Stanley-Pionk a pairing all game?

No, I think Bones was trying to insulate Pionk tbh, either that or Dillon threatened mutiny.

Pionk better get his mind right. If he struggles in game one I'd be dressing miller or Schmidt over him. I'm hoping we see playoff pionk and he gives Mack the McD treatment

 

[WaveRaven]

845 starts what a @#$&ING joke. Won't be watching those live.

Fans need to start pushing back on these times. Games should never start later than 8 pm local.

 

[JetsUK]

Way to get it done.

I am on team rest some players. If you give us 50/50 odds of winning each series and Vancouver 50/50 odds of winning each series the odds we even play them are: (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) = 1/16 or 6.25%.

That small of a chance isn't worth risking injury/not giving rest to some of the guys. Hell, give Lambert/Heinola/Chib a NHL game as a reward for a great AHL season.

Agree -- JMo needs a break, we know there are a few forwards including Eels and Monahan who have had maintenance days of late. But Bones seems to want to run headlong into the POs.

No reason we can't run Pionk as the 11th and 12th FW and 2nd and 3rd RD.

Would be nice to see Croissant also. Not sure why they couldn't have given him the Kraken game. On season's form it's a coin toss, and he deserves his name on the Jennings if the Jets win it.

I'm less bullish on home ice advantage than some, but good for the gate and hope you folks get the heat back before Game 1 -- which I see will function as the matinee performance to follow the crucial Leafs scheduled loss.

The game to get Bro in was last night. It's bad enough that there's going to be a 4 day gap between games, Helle has shown he's not very sharp on extended rest and you really don't want to give the Avs momentum in the first game of he has a shaky start.

A couple of stretches where it seemed like the Jets got a little loose and away from their game. Hopefully just a little bit of a mental letdown after the 2 big games with Dallas and Colorado.

I have to admit that I held my breath for a minute when JoMo took the hit behind the net.

Yeah that was an oh f*** moment for sure

11:45 is optimistic. I think I'd be looking at closer to 1:00 am.

I guess I'll just sleep through the game and head straight to work afterwards...

 

[Inanna]

I read this as all HFJets get to watch the playoffs from his cottage

Sounds great, how close is it to a lake?

 

[Jets 31]

@Aggie204 said it was really close and we were all to bring our bathing suits.

[Stumbledore]

On the one hand, this makes a lot of sense.

On the other hand, the Jennings dosn't seem to be a priority.

 

[GNP]

Good to know Barron is. day to day with his injury. He's an ideal playoff type player, being big, and very fast, and doesn't mind the rough going. I'd love to see him in the lineup, and he's a decent scorer.

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Jets are in a tight spot statistically speaking.
Winners of 7 straight they are faced with a conundrum.
You want to go into the playoffs feeling good so winning vs Vancouver would be good.
But that would be 8 wins in a row.
The chances of 9 in a row etc... seems harder and harder.

I know that has nothing to do with the actual outcomes but in our heads it's a bit worrisome.

Great! Seems like the perfect place to get the BF into the new speedo I plan to give him.

The neighbors will love us!

 

[ps241]

Agreed. Totally disrespectful to the Jets fans in Winnipeg to screw with our starting time with the home ice advantage we earned.

100% agree its total f***ing bullshit. Let us start at 7:00 and let the chips fall where they may. We are not a Pacific team, nor are we playing a Pacific team FFS. If we are in Colorado I care less but this is in Winnipeg. Have the West fill those late time slots for the first round.

Thong-back banana hammock?

Seems very straight forward and simple to us but Toronto Sportsnet not so much. How about we play at 6pm and Toronto plays at 9pm , heads would explode in Toronto.

I'll go out and get a speedo too and try to get a tan.

Everyone around will talk about the beached whale on the shore.

 

[Dirtbag151]

Thong-back banana hammock?

wear it backwards and call it the "flying squirrel'

Thong-back banana hammock?

To be honest, I haven't really thought that far ahead.

When Mr. Wonderful found out that I'd sorted through my bikinis to catch a few rays on the balcony a few weeks ago (anyone remember when we actually broke 20C back in March?) he asked about a thong swimsuit and I told him I didn't have one. (Which was a lie; long story.) So when he announced he would gift me one and started teasing about what it would look like, it was a nice relief from his frequent topic that I give up my academic ambitions, move in with him and get a "real" job.

I went along with the joking until it appeared he was getting serious and wanted us to go try some suits on. That's when I suggested that if he wanted me to wear a thong bikini for him, he would have to wear a speedo for me. It stopped him in his tracks for a few days but it's beginning to look like he might agree to my conditions. So that's what was in the back of my mind when I suggested showing up at someone's lakeside cottage with my BF in his new speedo.

And yet once again, I'm going to tell myself to stop flipping quickly between my Facebook, my Instagram, my texting, and my spur-of-the-moment comments in here and think before I post in front of a much older crowd.

I had a very plump friend in my sophomore year. She claimed to have a large grey maillot but complained that when she tanned at the beach, she always had Greenpeace types rushing up to say "If we get it back in the water we can save it."

According to my older sister, that friend is now married to a Surrey dentist and expecting her first. And probably still using the same classic joke.

I don't think it's a case of being straight forward. Someone earlier explained that Sportsnet has a contract with the TML which specifies an exclusive window for their games. I don't recall most of the details, sorry, but I expect someone here has them at her fingertips.

EDIT: his fingertips.
