Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 Canucks 0 - Tacos for Everyone (*offer not valid in Manitoba)
- Thread starter RetroWinnipeg
- Start date
Hmm, but if it was truly backwards, wouldn't it be taCocaT?
(if I could do backwards letters, I would have done that, too...)
You got me on a technicality. To rectify your complaint: TacoCat = tɒƆoɔɒT
So, Wheeler was playing with a cracked rib earlier this year.
Just sit a few games man...

Listening to Stastny, I'd say that rumours of Maurice "losing the room" are greatly exaggerated.
Wait, I thought he was lazy and over the hill.

I was pumped when I got had a decisive ‘statement’ shutout against Montreal and then glad once we got a shutout to break the losing streak against Calgary
Its nice we got a shutout against a garbage team and Braden Holtby - let’s hold off on the Jack Adams for now.

No he is a slow starter...
But hopefully he gets going now.
The more fire power the Jets get going the better the chances they beat the Oilers.
Though IMO i don't want him to line up vs. McDavid's line.
Fun game - didn't participate in the GDT as much as usual as I've been doing a cutover all night....
Hope we see these same Jets show up for the playoffs.
Nice to see CSW refind their game.

Hopefully PLD get more ice time last game so he can get in the flow.
Our big boys (csw) don't need to over extended this last game.
If Matthews playing or Tavares match him up with them.
Lets go coach!!!

I'm unemployed, and there's nothing else that really interests me on TV?
It also doesn't help that I've been very pessimistic lately. For a variety of reasons.
Sorry to hear about your current circumstances. Hang in the battle.

Glad the team had back to back games where they have played pretty well. Losing streaks, even meaningless ones standings wise, are painful to endure but they do come to an end. All that counts now is what kind of run can the team get on. We are catching McDavid on his career season so we are legit prohibitive underdogs but it’s hockey and hockey is weird so I will remain hopeful.

Yeah why the heck would you not pull him out of the lineup to let it heal. Instead we play him big minutes and he pulls his line down.
I know some will treat it as a worrior playing through pain to help the team but he wasn't helping the team with how awful he was playing. Maurice should have pulled him out.

Playing Wheeler with a cracked rib is utterly stupid. He's not so critical to the teams success at this point that he can't miss games when he's injured...especially games early in the regular season. It's nonsense. "Pain tolerance" my ass. I think Mo has a man crush on Wheeler.

Glad to see the switch was flipped this week
That's a couple of good games in a row now which is encouraging. Nice to see flashes of the Wheeler of old, and also great to see Appleton get rewarded for his efforts going to the net. I suppose the real question is that with Vancouver out of the way and Toronto and Edmonton on deck, can they sustain it or was this just a pleasant little break from this team's freefall?

95 posts on the PGT after a 5-0 beat down.
245 posts on the PGT after the loss yesterday in the same time frame.
Our advanced stats suck.

I've gone to 9 different Taco Bells here in Florida for my free Tacos. The last one, the manager shouted 'what the hell is a winner pig?' and called the police on me. I bolted before they could arrive.
Am I being punk'd over these tacos?

Yep. I've posted Wheeler's quote before, but basically he was asking us to believe that if he's "in the lineup, he's 100%." Now we know that he wasn't anywhere near 100%, and was nonetheless in the lineup playing heavy minutes and making the team worse. That strikes me as less heroic than selfish, but whatevs, hockey culture, leadership, etc.
Good fun game, great to see a flat-out rush game without giving away the bank, and should give the lads some confidence heading into the POs.
Thought the top three lines were strong, 4th line def has their shortcomings minus MP85 -- but if Ehlers gets in then MP will be back there anyway to shore them up.
