Pre-Game Talk: Jets vs. Rangers

[Hank Chinaski]

Chance to leapfrog the Rangers into a playoff spot. Another complete performance similar to last night would be swell.

Please show up with the same game as last night. Thx.

That's the question. Has this team matured to the point where they can bring the A game night after night?

I hope so. I'm really tired of the rollercoaster. I'd like it if my confidence in the team doesn't take a nose dive in the next couple weeks.

No.

I really hope so but I don't believe (or belief, if you're from COG) they've reached that point yet. Plus I'll be at the game. After going 7-4 last year I'm 1-3 this year.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Got my tickets, first game for me this season. The boys better play good and keep my perfect home record in tact

 

[KingBogo]

No.

Yeah my record at home is not nearly as good as last year. So far this year I'm 2-5, after going 10-4-2 last year. But no worries I don't have another game until the 22nd so they are free to go on a run

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Last year I was 0-3-1 at home somehow, this year I'm a whole 1-0-0. Aw yes.

 

[Grind]

I'm telling you guys, give me your tickets, 4 -0!

 

[cbcwpg]

Other than the 2 points I hope we get... getting the opportunity to watch John Tortorella's head explode after losing is pure entertainment.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[King Woodballs]

please come out with the same effort as last night, and win.

I want to see torturella pop his cork

 

[shatner_rules]

Jamie Wright with his first goal as a Jet. Book it. (or I'll just keep posting this until he does). Even my wife who doesn't watch much hockey wants him to get a goal already.

Can you do the anthem Shakey? Please.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

The Jets faithful need to level out our emotions and expectations. Sometime in the next week or two we are likely to lay an egg. What we know is that the Jets are a strange creature and you NEVER know what you'll get. World beater to rec league chumps from one game to the next. But if we can scratch and claw our way to just enough points then the elusive dream of playoff hockey could become a reality.

I would play Burmi on Thursday to see how he responds and give Cormier more time to adjust to his surroundings before throwing him in there (unless it's for Sniper).

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Can you do the anthem Shakey? Please.

Haha I'm just a fan, if Shakey was signing the anthem I'd easily drop concert ticket prices just to see that

The game itself would be the gravy.

 

[winterpeg]

Since the Rangers are a real team, I think the Jets will show up. 4 - 2 with an EN. Burmi is back in, and scores.

 

[Flair Hay]

I'd be surprised if we didn't keep the same lineup as last game minus Cormier for Slater. Wellwood looks much better the last couple games and Antro seems to be feelin it as well.

Rangers have been very weak offensively, so as long as we focus on playing defense first (and Pavs shows up again) we should have the scoring to outlast them. The Rangers just got ripped by Torts so we'll need to match their intensity for 50 mins.

Crowd was huge against Leafs, more of that would help as well.

Forget that dude, I'm busy planning the Jets Stanley Cup parade right now. After last night, I'm starting it in Toronto so they can at least see what the cup looks like.

But yeah, Jekyll or Hyde? Who shows up?

 

[garret9]

Unlike TOR this isn't a terrible team that's record doesn't reflect how terrible they are.

Come out strong Jets!

Man, you're harsh. Love it. I think you've been crossed off of many holiday card lists in Toronto.

Me too. Would really like it to be at home.

 

[wpgJetsfan]

We really need to win the tie breaker tonight with the Rangers to give us a shot of squeaking in if we end up tied with them in points at season end. SO WIN ONE FOR THE FANS TONIGHT JETS!

 

[Lynk]

I'm getting ready to be disappointed with the Jets and their lack of showing the same emotion from the Leafs game.

Hopefully they can still find a way to come out with a 6-1 victory.
