First in & with the GDT thread up, the Pre-Game Talk will close soon. May as well bring this over here.

Saw that Perreault may return tonight. If so I'd suggest Maurice will run:

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Stastny-Laine
Perreault Little Roslovic
Copp-Lowry-Tanev

One piece of the optimal forward line-up is missing in Armia. I'd think the best move is to change that one piece of the puzzle.

I've missed a lot of the practice talk. Any insight as to how Maurice ran things the last few days?

ps. A picture of Phoebe Cates from just a few frames later in the movie would have been very nice!

A few frames later and my GDT likely gets taken down... ;)

I woke up this morning and immediately thought. “Is it game time yet!?” Blast this 8:30 start. It’s going to be a looooooong day. So far I’ve either been in attendance or working every home game. First game I’ll get to enjoy from my couch. Yes I’m actually excited. Go Jets Go!

Stellar GDT Zham! I have a feeling Roslo draws out if MP85 is ready to go, hope I'm wrong.

Jets are limited with amount of right shooting forwards they have. With Armia still out, healthy scratching Roslovic would drop the team is down to four right shooting forwards.

Further Jack & Matt play different positions. It's Hendricks that'll be sitting if Frenchie is ready.

No chance Hendricks stays in over Roslovic.
This is a fast series and Hendricks and his walker will be in the press box.
Maybe if Hendricks hadn't had his worst game as a Jet in game 2.
Even the TSN 1290 crew who have avoided criticizing him all year have been dumping on him and talking about how the Jets need to get him out of the lineup.
He hasn't had a single good shift in any of these games.

At least during the season he would have moments.

Great GDT again.

Huge game tonight. I feel like the winner tonight probably wins the series.

I'd really like to see the Jets tighten up the gap in the neutral zone (it got better as game 3 went on), and to pressure a bit more in the D zone. Seems like sometimes the Jets let the Preds skate around without pressure sometimes. Especially when the puck moves to the point. Our forwards don't attack the D, whereas Preds forwards really seem to be on our D much faster.

Also a big key will be to win the puck battles along the wall, and to make sure not to turn pucks over in the neutral zone leading to odd man rushes.

Go Jets Go!

Good job once again Zhamnov , Nick Cage was a A list actor for a little while now not so much . Him and Subban could do a movie together with all the over acting they do . :laugh: Frenchie the vampire will suck whatever life the Preds have left right out of them tonight . :nod:

A win tonight will be huge! It will not only mean who the likely series winner will be but also will mean clearing the president's cup winner away, leaving the way open for us to THE cup as well!

Back them into a corner tonight. If the Preds aren’t thinking it now with what could easily be a 3-0 series deficit, a loss tonight making it 3-1 will surely hurt their mental game into thinking there’s realistically no way they’re going to come back to beat this Jets team.

With that being said, the Jets have to come out tonight with the same momentum and mentality that seen them come back and demolish the Preds lead the other night. Go at the Preds hard and fast, take away their space, finish our checks and use our speed. Get to Rinne early and he’s likely yanked outta the net in no time. I think we’re already in his head. No question in my mind the Preds are coming to play tonight, coming to win and steal this game in Winnipeg and shift home ice back in their favor. Jets have to be ready to shut them down.

Gonna need a big game from Hellebuyck tonight.

It's crazy how much adding perreault changes the bottom six.

Hoping for this tonight:

Copp-Lowry-tanev
Perreault-little-roslovic

Jets beat the kitties with Hendricks in the lineup. Now Matty P replaces him? Sorry Preds fans, not this year.
