Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs Penguins Jan 27 6:00PM

[Aavco Cup]

Start Hutch?
Activate Perreault?
No Crosby Malkin Letang?

I believe the franchise record for consecutive wins is 6. Current win streak is 5.

The Jets have a practice scheduled for 1:00PM tomorrow in Pittsburgh. They must have an early flight out tomorrow.

Byfuglien spending the night in Columbus then fly straight and meet the team I guess.

 

[Repoman]

Yeah they are leaving early. I can't remember what time but I was surprised when it came across my email. I assume a lot of guys that went out of town will be making their own way to PIT?

Does that include Atlanta?

Does that include Atlanta?

Yes.

 

[Jetabre]

Finally NHL hockey! It's been too long.

 

[seasontixholder*]

Yes.

What is a league normal for wins in a row? I don't know.

92/93 Penguins won 17 in a row (NHL record)

That had nothing to do with Mario did it?

I just looked up that roster. They had 5 players that had over 30 goals and 4 over 100 points. Wow that's a lot of talent.

 

[Jets4Life]

Crosby and Malkin are unlikely for Tuesdays game against the Jets. I like our chances. Hope Hutch gets the start, and Perreault returns.

"Unlikely"? I thought missing the ASG meant you have to miss the next game. No grey area.

Sid is definitely not playing as he's ineligible. He missed the ASG so he has to miss at least one regular season game.

Same with Malkin. Sid has been playing with a nagging injury all of January and Malkin got hurt against Philthy.

Jets Struggled against Minny after the Christmas break. Hope they come out stronger this time.

fingers crossed to keep this winning streak going, I think they can.

Malkin likely won't play because of his injury. He didn't finish the game in Philly so he won't face the same suspension that Sid does. So in theory he could play.

Read differently on Pens twitter. Either way Malkins not playing. Still have yet to see him play live. So glad I didn't get tickets

 

[Jets4Life]

Wow. I never knew there was some kind of injury-type rule, in regards to the All-Star Game. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[HannuJ]

need to talk about the snowstorm heading Pittsburgh's way.
i wonder how it will affect the Jets' ability to get to and leave Pitts

Philly is just a train ride away if need be, at least I think.

 

[allan5oh]

If Perreault returns something has to happen to the roater. Trade, waivers, or injured reserve.

 

[HannuJ]

yeah, but there's a risk of game cancelation.
think they're calling for up to 2 feet of snow in some areas.
looks like Phila's gonna get it worse than Pitts.

 

[Huffer]

Jets are getting the Penguins at a good time. Not often you get to play them without Crosby, Malkin, and Letang (I'm guessing he's out too).

Edit:

Looking at the Penguins GDT, their injured players are:

Dupuis
Maataa
Comeau
Hornqvist
Malkin
Crosby
Letang

It's almost like we're playing Wilkes-Barre Scranton..

If the game gets postponed due to weather, I'll be pissed. Philly is neither here nor there, but Pittsburgh without half their roster is a huge advantage to lose. Winter, my eternal adversary.

If the snow is expected tonight and tomorrow, this game is more likely than the Philly one to be rescheduled actually. They can say it's unsafe just to get the players to the arena even if they're in the city already or that they wouldn't expect fans to show up under such conditions.

 

[Positive]

Hope the game is on.

Jets need to win this against a depleted Pens roster. Foot on the gas from the beginning.

A playoff team would win this.
