The Jets played like I did at the casino today....pretty bad, very disappointed in the results. The team better smarten up or Vegas is going to win this series...

Staying at the Gold Coast here in Vegas and wore my white Jets shirt today and getting many kudos from some of the people staying here. The city isn't quite in a frenzy like back home, but there are signs on businesses saying GO KNIGHTS GO and people are wearing some Knights jerseys and t-shirts. Nothing like back home, but at least they have some support. Just wait until the plane loads of Winnipeg Jets fans arrive. This should be fun!

Jets looked tired mentally and physically. Just not sharp. I wonder if the Preds series is taking a toll. I hope they can recover.

They really need more from Ehlers and Laine. That was a really bad game from Ehlers, again.

I'd like to see Morrow or Kulikov in for Chiarot. Enstrom and Chiarot are no threat on LD in the offensive zone.

I'd consider Roslovic in for Tanev to generate more possession and offense.

A question I have asked myself many times, "Why is John Shannon on TV?" And then quickly change the channel. I'm not sure what qualifies him to break down games and do analysis. :ha::thumbd:

I don't know how many Winnipeggers are heading to Vegas and are attending both game three and four, but that M*********** Marchessault made me pay for game five on top of my Vegas trip! On the bright side, I'm not paying for a hotel and get my mind off work for almost a week.

I saw a young woman at the Shark Club play Roulette for I think her first time. She bought 10 bucks of chips and spread them a bit on the board. Won 35-1 and then put it all on red and won again and then she quit. Some times it's your night. I just watch.

This woman stole all the Jets luck; she must be found and stopped. :laugh:

No because Reaves wasn’t in the lineup game 1. Should be a good series between the two toughest guys in the league

If you are going to post you might actually want to watch the games and check the box scores. You are giving Vegas supporters that actually know and watch hockey a bad name. Dress Reaves every game he is a beaut.:sarcasm:

Somewhere nice
Lets go Schiefele

Take this team to the next level.


You can do it!!




This is the game when Perrault and Little was needed to step up offensively.
Line 1 and 2 wasn't getting the bounces.

Hey, Kudos to Winnipeg transit. I was at the game tonight I have been home for awhile now. Not like the 2 hour adventure from the football stadium.

Cut down on some neutral zone turnovers, protect the puck more, realize this is not Arizona and things will go well.

Some of the Vegas D are treating the puck like a hot potato. It will work out well if this continues. Sbisa and Engelland looked pretty suspect in their own zone.

I might move over to the positivity thread. I am usually a pretty negative nelly but the sky is not falling.

I am wondering about the noise level of BMTSP. In football you would never make so much noise that your offence couldn't communicate. Should we be doing that to our PP?

At least the sweep em in 4 games talk will end.
It started off like a really enjoyable fast game and then it turned into missed passes and blocked passes and shots.
Give Vegas credit, they came in with a good game plan and it worked.
The following players need to step up, in no order...
Laine...you're a goal scorer, score.
Ehlers...has to get into the dirty areas more.
Copp...we could use another goal any time.
Trouba...after 3 or so very strong games, he had a weaker game. Step up and earn those big bucks you want.
To a lesser extent...
Buff, Wheeler and Scheif...This team will follow you. Go out next game and show Vegas what you are made of.

If Kuli is healthy enough to play, he should be playing.

I'd like to see Morrow or Kulikov in the lineup - Toby is not physical enough and get's knocked off the puck. We need someone with a little bit more physicality and sandpaper here.

We also get great scoring from Morrow on the back end, that we don't get with Toby. We should keep our eye on this defensive position --I'd like to see Morrow in, or Kulikov--Toby "out."

I'm going to bet they aren't going to get caught with 4 guys heading to the bench while Vegas breaks in again. Odds are Stastny won't get caught like he did on the first goal either.

Kinda got a sense we wouldn’t get the bounces after Ehlers’ early post and Scheif getting the puck behind Fleury but not over the line. Good games those pucks find ways in. Bad games they don’t.

I don’t know who you’re describing but it ain’t Morrow. Do you not know he is more like Enstrom then Chiarot?
