Pre-Game Talk: Jets @ Coyotes • Sat, Apr 6 @ 9:00 pm CT • CITY, SN360, SNW

[KB1971]

The last night of the season will determine whether we finish in first, second, or third.

While I'd had preferred to be in first place today with a ten point cushion, you've got to hand it to the lucky schedule maker who managed to inject this much suspense and anguish into the final night of the season.

It takes a very calculated number of blown offside calls and non slashing calls, at precisely the right moments to achieve a traffic jam of mediocrity in the Central.

Touche!

And while we're at it, let's go back to using the off-side challenge for just EGREGIOUS errors instead of applying it to someone's heel being 5 cm over the flipping line.

This game means nothing for Arizona.

Jets need to finish this season with a good win and maximum effort.

If the Jets win, at least they're guaranteed 2nd place regardless of what St. Louis does. It's a real shame we only got one point out of last night's game. Had they won that one, at least they'd still have a shot at 1st tomorrow night without the need for Nashville to lose outright or in OT/shootout.

Yeah Vancouver is good for nothing. I can see why I openly cheered against them when they were a powerhouse team a decade ago.

Beat the Coyotes and we are at worst starting the playoffs in the same spot we did last season.

Home Ice, 2 vs 3.

The Canucks players were more concerned with Fortnite than worrying about providing any sort of competition against the Predators. No help coming from them that's for sure.

 

[King Woodballs]

We’ll know the result of the STL game before ours start, and the Nash game by the first intermission.

I wonder if that will impact the urgency of the way we play/line utilization.

Didn’t matter much yesterday. Pretty sure it won’t matter tomorrow

And they are playing Pickard in net. If that doesn't help get the offense flowing nothing will.

Did you say Laine?

 

[DowntownBooster]

Did you say Laine?

Yeah, him too.

 

[Zippity]

When’s the last time Jets had a practice?

Do you see the last 2 flukey goals the Preds scored ... the hockey Gods were in their corner.

 

[Larabee]

Good question. They keep cancelling them in favour of meetings.

Team went from Stanley Cup Contenders and second place overall to Stanley Cup Pretenders and tied for 10th place or worse with a huge collapse in the second half of the season!

Almost mirrors Mo's coaching, in playoffs, out of playoffs, in Finals, out of playoffs, loss in third round, out of playoffs, in playoffs, out of playoffs.....

The drop from Morrissey / Enstrom / Buff to Beaulieu / Chiarot / Myers is pretty steep. Not hard to understand why they don't transition as smoothly or challenge entries better.

 

[untouchable21]

If they do finish first in the central, I do not want to see a stinking central division banner hanging ceremony, because they sure as hell don’t deserve it. This is not how you win a divisional title.

There’s only one banner I care to see hung from the BMTS and right now that’s just a distant fantasy. Keep dreaming, dreamers!!

 

[Guffman]

Craziest combination?

Jets vs. Avs?

- Stars lose last 2
- Avs win
- Jets win (STL result no consequence on Jets' ROW)
- Preds lose or OTL (Jets ROW wins)

Did I get that right?!

Yep, you got that right and it looks like it will still be in play for tomorrow.

 

[FiveHoled]

One game doesn't decide who's best, it's the entire season that defines a team and its worth. So, to me, tomorrow isn't super important but there better be one hell of an effort out there. I also just really want to play Nashville too, regardless of the scores tomorrow. Is that wrong?

 

[Jets2point0]

I get by with a little help from my friends

 

[HannuJ]

i either have a good feeling about tonight's game or it's the first signs of a stroke

 

[Mud Turtle]

Good question. They keep cancelling them in favour of meetings.

I’m 100% in favour of meetings over practices right now.
Practices haven’t solved the problems. It’s in their heads and some good airing out of issues and discussion about playing as a team will go a lot further.

That's alot of playoffs , bet there are fans that would kill to see their team make the playoffs that much , just look at the Oilers or the Sens .

what if they just had Festivus and aired their grievances while holding the metal pole?

Considering we have nothing hanging from the MTS rafters , i don't care how they get one , if we were lucky enough to get one . We are in the playoffs , that's the first thing we have to do before getting the ONLY banner that matters to you .

 

[Jets 31]

If i don't win the 649 lottery the right way , i don't want to win .

 

[Mud Turtle]

great idea
maybe we get a festivus miracle?
