I don't know about this ?? -- I think Vegas and the Preds play pretty much the same type of game playing with speed--"fast transition" kind of game. At this point in time, I'd say that Vegas has way better Goaltending ( Fluery) than the Preds have--so I think Vegas is the better of the 2.
Really Fleury has been the big difference maker for Vegas--"he's been fantastic."
If jets lose it's not to an expansion team but to MAF. How often does an expansion team land a golie of that calibre? Took us 7 years to get a playoff golie!!

Players: Byfuglien & Stastny. Lowry & Laine. (they do it from the podium so they are combined scrums).
Coach Maurice scrum topics: What is it about the makeup of this team that has allowed them to handle adversity well? How do they make life difficult for Fleury? Jets turnovers and whether his team trying to do too much with the puck? On Hellebuyck’s confidence. What went into the decision to use Tanev on the 2nd line? Did he consider using Perreault on that line late in the game down a goal? How do they produce with a more balanced attack? On the speed of the Vegas team with respect to the Jets turnovers. Does he expect his team to look different down 2-1 in the series? On the Jets playing game 98 of the season. On Nikolaj Ehlers status.

Vegas is not even remotely as good as Nashville. Im sorry but this is just so far out there im not sure if your serious. Goal tending sure, as of "right now." We have hit a wack of posts and missed some empty nets as seen some squeekers with out results. They are luckier thats for sure. But better? No.
I don’t think Vegas is better than Nashville. The two times we have shown up (first game and last period) we have owned them. It’s totally up to the jets themselves if they win or lose. They are the far better team talent wise, they just haven’t felt the need to play with any passion for 5 periods.
They need to figure it out.

They might not be better on paper but they play better hockey at the moment.

Don't care if it's Laine/Stastney, MattyP /Little, or Copp/ Lowry someone has to get going and score some goals and give the Knights something else to have to defend.

And what the **** is wrong with this site, loading is painful and slow since last night,
Last night third period when we were playing our game finally, every jet on the ice could have scored at some point. Same as the first game. But if we let Vegas dictate how the game is going to go then scoring is only accomplished by our top line.
If Vegas tries to trap we have to simply skate with speed right into their zone a full speed. We either gain the zone or they take a penalty.

Guys, the series is 2-1. You are acting as if we lost the series. Every team will at some point have to come back from behind. Can’t win them all.

Finally, Jets are facing a bit of adversity. Rarely happens that a Cup winner goes through a Cup run without facing some. This is good. Character building. I thought we'd lose game 2 and 3. And I thought we basically played well. Eliminate bad line changes and this series looks a bit different.
I think we can win this series even if we do go down 3-1. But I think we should bounce back tomorrow.

And I really liked the Little line. Rosie is very dangerous. If Ehlers comes back, I hope it's straight in for Tanev and they leave Rosie where he is. WE need every ounce of skill we've got to beat Fleury right now.

Well-I don't know how you can believe this, and state that Folix -let's take a look
Jets played Vegas 3 times in regular season-- Vegas wins 2- 1
Jets played Vegas 3 times in the "playoffs" -- Vegas is up 2-1
Totals for regular season and playoffs-- Vegas leads 4 games to 2 ( 4-2)_
__________________________________________________________
Vegas just blew out the Kings--4-0 and the Sharks 4-2
One of the big problems is the fans and Jet's team, have never taken these guys seriously--they do now--"so we'll see who's better" They are very close to each other.

Funny how we all came to almost the same conclusion about the last game third period...
Our Winnipeg Jets in that last third period finally came back to the team they were most of the season but even better...
The Preds changed our game...
Rightly so for those changes helped us win the last series...
Now after that last third period our Jets are now back in the drivers seat...
We know now what our team needs to do as well they also know it now...
It was required learning on our Jets part and I firmly believe that they all know one cough up of the puck and its probably ends up as a goal...
We have to play fast and furious and if we have to give up the puck pass it back and regroup...
Its a game of keep away where the puck must stay on our sticks and not theirs...
We needed this learning curve and our Jets also needed to fall behind by one game...
I firmly believe we cause Vegas to ice the puck for the majority of the next game...
We Are The Better Team...

There is no evidence of this.

JUST SCORE FIRST then IMPOSE YOUR WILL
We win simple as that!
The only thing that concerns me is energy levels playing every other night for quite a while.

We are three wins away from playing for the Stanley Cup...
That is all the motivation our Jets need...

They just need to constantly remind themselves. Even the young guys who don’t even realize the magnitude of where they are. THEY. CAN. DO. THIS.
