Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Panthers 4

[kanadalainen]

Nothing like a fish up side the head …..

Sometimes fortuitous events are difficult to discern from violent collisions with activated contractile slime-coated balls of cuteness.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I just like the fact that we are generating a lot of good scoring chances on all 4 lines so far. I feel like anyone of them can score at any time and we haven't had that since our conference final run. The Butcher of Barrie is back and playing with a vengeance. Really loving the 1st line playing great all over the ice. Vilardi is so good on the boards in the D zone and in the O zone, I am seeing that he is freeing Scheif and Connor both up and they are really taking advantage of it.

Ill put the brakes on Kupari just a bit. Good useful player just like Barron is but I am not sure if he can be consistent with his scoring just because like Barron he doesn't have a knack for it. But honestly he is a pretty great upgrade on the 4th line and it will pay dividends for us going forward.

Looking forward to hearing this one.

You are welcome.

 

[Do or Die]

Think the PLD trade not only improves our depth.... but has provided a much needed roster "shakeup"

I've watched the JoMo handoff now about a dozen times on TSN... lovely stuff.

I am guilty as charged of still passing the dumb guy test. It’s not just my chuckling at the slapstick humour of a wave/fish combo knocking over a reporter on the scene of the storm with no audio.

It’s the fact I can’t can’t stop laughing that really cements my status. It was funny the first time PS but I’m not sure you should still be chuckling uncontrollably after the 6th replay.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

You are welcome.

Truly awful.

 

[Jets 31]

If i was a Jets player this would be my goal song.If i was a Jets goalie it would be this.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Early on it’s always best to enjoy any win. Lots of good signs, hopefully we’ll become a little tougher to score on as we go.

 

[SCP Guy]

2 games in and 2 well played games in the books.....Keep it up and we will win our fair share of games IF we stay healthy.....

Great bit, but it was the "wicked wolf" in the red riding hood sketch that kept me from breathing I was laughing so hard.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Pionk on for the last 2 goals against and then gives Tkachuk a shorthanded breakaway. Why is he viewed as a player that should be on the ice when we're down a man or defending a lead is beyond me.

Pionk has been trash for years. There are all these rumors of the Jets trying to move a D man. Hope it's Pionk.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Wow. I guess we have to go into - just be happy to have a team - mode. It could end soon.

Look at the bright side. We had a contender window of 1 year in 2017-18. Every other year, Chevy got a free pass because 'the cupboards were bare' or because 'Byf's ankle'. With an NHL franchise now worth $1B, I don't know how long the owners will be willing to subsidize the team. Hope things pick up fast - maybe it was because it was an afternoon game.

Without having the numbers in front of me to crunch, I wonder if the increased revenue from the new lounge seating options offset a couple of thousand unsold regular seats.

As others have said, TNSE is not solely reliant on gate revenue. For those that forgot, the reason the last jets moved wasn't a revenue issue - it was the lease agreement with Winnipeg Enterprises Corporaiton.

Lots of teams play in front of half full barns regularly and find a way to stay afloat. Even with 2000 unsold tickets, CLC was at 87% capacity

Hope you are right.

I think back to the botched Forever Winnipeg campaign that read like a threat to the fan base. And I always assumed a Winnipeg Jets home opener would be a sellout. Never ass u me is the lesson for me.

Always trust the marketing folks are telling the truth without any spin or angle.

As long as Arizona is in the league, we will be fine...

I think we're all still scarred from losing 1.0 to some degree and that campaign stirred up some anxiety

The org has to win back the goodwill it has lost over the last number of years. That takes time. We have a perfect case study with the Bombers. They were inept for decades and had lulls in attendance. Now they are well run and a powerhouse and fans can't stay away.

If this team continues to play as well and entertaining as it has the first two games then the fans will return. But the last two years probably left a real bad taste in many's mouth.

I'm not really surprised after the second half collapse and the game 5 drama that fans are a bit hesitant.

 

[Gil Fisher]

i can honestly say, I've never noticed a goal song in my life.
