GDT: Jets vs Blues October 4th Season Opener - "Random Things"

[Neuf]

How long do you guys think the Ehlers on the fourth line experiment lasts?

Honestly, I think they just get more ice time of they produce. Probably get some of little line minutes of they are really good

 

[Eyeseeing]

What's the over/under on how many minutes into the game we get the first "bad coaching" comment?

Or Little, Myers or “insert player name “ here suck

 

[AlphaLackey]

Me at 10:38 am: "okay, relax, you've got some work to do before the game starts, you really need to get that cleared off before you get too hyped for opening day."

Me at 10:39 am:

... yeah it's gonna be a long morning.

 

[Skidooboy]

How long do you guys think the Ehlers on the fourth line experiment lasts?

I hope it lasts all season. It's hardly a forth line more like a 2B line playing against other teams plugs.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Today I didn't think about hoping Laine gets a rocket, or Jets besting last season, or anything like that.

Cup this year, by any means!

6 in 5 everybody

Six in five, six in five
Six in five, six in five
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Six in five, six in five
Always read 6 in 5 this way in my head. No cracks about what that means, eh.

Works with:
Cup this time, cup this time too.

Yes it will be a long day today. I keep trying to bring up hockey with colleagues and they are like "winnipegger I don't like hockey" and I am like oh cool did you know Maurice might play Myers left side lolz omg really I know right.

 

[JohnStaymoose]

Lets go boys lets start the season off with a big W. Bring the A-Game and we will be just fine. Go Jets Go!

 

[Guardian17]

Biggest game of the season!


Go! Go!

 

[Aggie204]

New look Blues, same results. Time to crush em’.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I hope it lasts all season. It's hardly a forth line more like a 2B line playing against other teams plugs.

It is, and I realize that. But there's only so many minutes to go around. CSW is gonna get a lot of minutes, and so is CLT. Add in PP and PK time, and even a strong 2B line is going to see the ice quite a bit less than the Scheifele and Lowry lines.

 

[Hobble]

Must win.

 

[GNP]

You would think with our "stacked" forward lines -- we should average 4 goals per game. I don't think there's another team with the scoring power we have with the forward lines, and even our defenseman.

All these guys will score quite a few goals this year

Scheif, Laine, Wheeler, Connor, Ehlers, Roslovic, Buff and Myers. Those are our prolific scorers, and the other guys are great as well - Little,Lowry-Perrault etc.

The Jets have to be viewed as an intimidating team to play against with the firepower they have.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Must win.

Biggest test of the year!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

They all count from now on! 1/82, let's get 2 points tonight!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Biggest test of the year!

You could even say this is the real test.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

The lady with the third jersey killed me. Which one you may ask?

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Wait, is Kulikov a healthy scratch in favour of Morrow / Chiarot? Or is he injured??

 

[SoCalJetsFan]

Thanks for the GDT! Well done as usual.

Thing's I'm hoping for:

• A win
• Solid outing from Helly
• A goal from the ERV line
• A Buff smashy-smash
• A postgame post from the professor with some quotes that can be used the rest of the season!

 

[blues10]

Wait, is Kulikov a healthy scratch in favour of Morrow / Chiarot? Or is he injured??

A few days ago media was saying he was going to be healthy scratched. Reasoned if he was hurt he would have been placed on IR. Take it for what its worth.

 

[DarthMonty]

Was this the longest off-season ever?

A win tonight would be a good start to the expected 82-0 season.

 

[Jets 31]

I really , really hope Morrow is with Buff not Charoit , Charoit should not get that much ice time . Charoit is a decent 6th defenseman and Morrow a 5 .

 

[Jets 31]

Was this the longest off-season ever?

A win tonight would be a good start to the expected 82-0 season.

Yes and the Jets season didn't end until the end of May , go figure .

 

[Mud Turtle]

Great GDT Zham!

When I look at the schedule I say to myself “wow, that’s a good team” and “why do we have to play all these great teams in a row?”
And then I realize...

Last year we were better than all of them except one!

After so many middle of the road years, or worse, it’s hard getting used to the fact that the Winnipeg Jets are likely THE BEST HOCKEY TEAM IN THE WORLD!
Let that sink in for a moment.

Butler-Schmaltz sounds like a very uncomfortable nether-regions malady, I hope there is a cure for this.
