Must win game. Win tonight and we are back in the drivers seat since I expect we will win at least one game in St. Louis. But a loss tonight will be devastating and mean the series is over.

I wouldn't mind seeing Laine moved to the top line tonight with Wheeler and Scheifele.

Excellent work as usual Zham!
Do or do not tonight Jets, there is no try. (I know that's Empire, but it just fits).

since Scheif and wheeler wont be split.. ideally we'd go with..
Laine - Scheif - Wheels (Bozak)
Connor - Hayes - Ehlers (Barbashev)
Copp - Lowry - Tanev (ROR)
Perreault - Little - Lindholm (Sundqvist))
CLT takes on the ROR line. Hayes and the speedy wingers take on the Barbashev line which really frees them up but limits their ice time 5v5. Scheif and Wheels go after Bozak and Little's line is tasked with shutting down Sundqvist, Perron and Schwartz
Why wait?
This team gives off a vibe like "the house hasn't burned down yet so don't run just because the house is on fire."

If we're going to go with that configuration Roslovic would make more sense over Lindholm.
But I don't see Mo changing the lines (outside of the Tanev return) unless we get down by 2 or more.

I more meant I don't see Maurice making any big switches just yet. Not that he shouldn't make them.
I don’t really like Lindholm in favour of Roslovic, but if they put that line out against O’Reilly, I can at least see the argument for it. I doubt Maurice decides to keep Scheifele away from O’Reilly, though and then we end up with the shutdown line out there against a line that ultimately isn’t very threatening.
I don't really think our issue was all matchups. We played perhaps the most energetic 40 minutes of hockey we have seen from this squad this year. They looked absolutely gassed in the 3rd. The hits stopped, they couldn't get out cleanly. When your gassed the brain just shuts down and you go into "going through the motions" mode. We have to come out hard but pace ourselves. Plus we just need to convert on some more of our chances. Binnington was a wall last game. We need to solve him.
Awesome work, as always, @Zhamnov5GoalGame .
Also, Return of the Jedi is my all-time fav Star Wars movie, so this is extra excellent!!

Why is Darren Millard doing Jets TV? I understood he left Sportsnet for other opportunities, but this seems like a massive demotion.
More conservative coaching by Moe. A game after only being able to score only a single goal and not generate a crazy amount of chances our coach elects to take out a more talented offensive player for a player with absolutely zero offense.
I'm wondering if the Jets will give Lowry that much ice-time to match up against the Blues' top line. In that case, which line gets shorted on the ice-time? Hayes? Little?
It seems that they have a weird roster composition now. Another option would have been to put a solid defensive LW with Scheifele/Wheeler and run them against ROR's line...
Something like this:
9-55-26
85-18-29
81-12-27
13-17-28
That would give the Jets speed and punch throughout the line-up, and they could have a main match-up of Scheifele vs. ROR with Copp on LW.
Another option is to reunite CLT and try to shut down ROR that way.

HaHa love this! But Helly needs to outplay him. We can't be out-goalied to have any hope.
Not blaming Helly for game 1 but he needs to stand on his head and make a couple like the Binnington on Scheif save. Steal at least one goal away from the Blues because in one goal games that's the difference.
It was just a matter of time.

I still can't believe we went into Game 83 with the coach tinkering with the forward lines. We should have our go to combinations by now. Oh well, what can we do. We have Maurice so we have to live with it.
Go Jets Go!
Go Jets Go!

Wow, are they mad that snow is white as well?
I'm disappointed that Rey didn't choose the dark side, would have been much more interesting episode IX

I've been wondering this also. I'm thinking he didn't leave Sportsnet quite so willingly (perhaps they couldn't come to an agreement on a new contract?). He's probably doing JetsTV just as something to keep busy IMO, and not as a long-term gig.
