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

Must win game.

 

[Jetabre]

Probably the real test too.

 

[Repoman]

This game will tell us a lot I think... Last year we were in a similar spot and went into Florida that was basically icing their AHL team and we got smoked. These are games we must show up for. Go out hard and don't let up until they are destroyed.

 

[Positive]

Yeah. I'm nervous about this one. Every game is a 'show me/prove it' game now to me.

Translation: This, is the real test

I don't know about real test or whatever but I don't have a bad feeling at all.

Jets win 3-1 with Hutch in net.

If the rotation continues we will see Pav

If the rotation continues we will see Pav

Pavs has incredibly bad numbers vs the Pens. Could easily be the worst numbers for a goaltender in the NHL vs. another franchise right now.

He has to play Hutchinson and give Pavs the start in Philly (which he has good numbers against actually).

I have a feeling we'll see Hutch tonight, for the reasons you mention.

Agree with you GJF. A bunch of Nervous Nellies around here. What are people going to do when we ride into the playoffs?

 

[KingBogo]

Agreed. Maurice will continue some sort of rotation but it won't be an exact split. He will likely to continue favouring Hutch something like 60-40.

That will be the real test.

Like this, but... Testier.

That will be the real test.

Imagine playing the SCF. It's gonna be testiest!

Now I'm feeling pumped. Wouldn't it be great to make a run at a top 3 position, rather then be worried about holding onto a wildcard spot.

Yep. And as long as performances continue as they are, it will gradually shift more to Hutch.

I think he'll start Hutch in both Penn games and Pav v Dallas on Saturday.
