Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs Leafs - Sat Mar 31 - 6:00pm CT

[Aavco Cup]

- Leafs play tonight so they will be on the second night of a B2B. One could argue the Jets will be well rested after taking last night off
- HNIC game on CBC involving Canada's two playoff teams. Not much buzz or hype for this one
- another chapter in the Laine vs Matthews hype train
- revenge game after the stinker of the season opener
- the return of Trouba? Who sits?
- #freeRoslovic? Who sits?

This should be a fun game to watch. We are playing exciting hockey (before yesterday) but it would be nice to see the team GAA go down,lots of high scoring games lately, I'll take a few boring 3-1 wins in the next few.

 

[PerryPooley]

It would be really sweet to beat the surging Leafs. The world will be watching this one.

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

This is the one last game on our schedule with meaning to it, one that would be nice win. I know these two organizations are competing to be the first Canadian team to end the 24 year cup drought, and are realistically the front runners for it.
I think we will be up for this one, and they will as well. Expecting Laine to have an impact, looking forward to this one!

I predict that all of Canada will witness the reawakening of #29... Jets 7 - Leaves 1

(Kadri, I DARE you to pull on Patty's beard!)

 

[Ducky10]

I can't emphasize enough how important beating the Leafs is to the enjoyment of my Easter weekend.

If they lose my kids are going to be real mad about all their broken Easter bunnies.

 

[MardyBum]

Win for the sanity of the mainboard

 

[Channelcat]

This should be kinda huge, hopefully

 

[ps241]

This game is meaningless when it comes to what counts which is the playoffs but the fans will be amped. HFBoards mods will be busy with the usual back and forth between Laine Matthews fans and this will get way too much hype for a garbage time game but hey its all entertainment isn't it? I will be tuned in and hope to see a good game.

 

[Ducky10]

Time to let Trouba play.

 

[untouchable21]

What if Morrissey hits and injures Matthews? How would Bruins’ fans feel then?

Right now they’re wanting Morrissey put on death row. Would be an interesting thread to read.

 

[sipowicz]

Lets see if they pot a few goals in TO which they couldn't even do against the Hawks emergency goalie whose claim to fame was as a 3rd string college netminder for Western Michigan until the Winnipeg Jets came to town!

This team usually follows up a poor performance with a good one.

 

[Swiftt]

Really looking forward to this one. Need redemption from our season opener stinker.
Leafs are playing really well at home, but I think we are going to come out strong against them.

Laine gets 2 and Trouba is a +3. Book it.

They would be cheering in the streets if it meant Matthews was out for the playoffs

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hellebuyck must start, while I'd also like to see Roslovic get inserted in the line-up, would say over Tanev.

Morrissey skating very quickly past Matthews might injure him.

Patrik with hatrick, mark my words

I wonder if any Jets will go see the Yankees - Blue Jays today?

I vaguely remember an MTS Centre chant of “let’s go blue jays” while playing the Leafs a few seasons back

Is my memory good or am I imagining that?

It's happened a couple of times at Leafs games that I was at.
Maybe update that to a "Let's Go Raptors" chant

 

[Critical Mass]

Hellebuyck must start, while I'd also like to see Roslovic get inserted in the line-up, would say over Tanev.

I struggle with what to do with Roslovic for this game. I think he should get some game time. But with Lowry back in the lineup, the Copp-Lowry-Tanev line is a really effective unit. I don't know if Roslovic instead of Tanev is a net benefit to the team.

Given Perrault's struggling game, Roslovic in for Perreault may be a better approach in the context of this one game.

I anticipate Poolman out for Trouba.

 

[EpicGingy]

Win for the sanity of the mainboard

Implying the mainboard can ever approach anything other than sheer lunacy.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Must win. For my own sanity.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

If we lose....the Stanley Cup is the only thing that can make things better again.
