Pre-Game Talk: Montreal @ Winnipeg - Thursday Feb 25/21 - 7 PM - TSN3/2, RDS

[SUX2BU]

And don’t forget Helly has radar ears too..

ears no, eyes definitely

 

[Gnova]

Teams are discovering that the Sens aren't the free win that the Jets made them appear to be.

 

[PhilJets]

Hopefully Habs don't bring the vodoo.
No matter what the Jets do they always lose almost all the time to this Habs team.

Now Jets have 2 french dude playing. Hopefully they jinx it!!


Go Jets Go

...or they come to Wpg having lost 2 games to Ottawa and their confidence isn't great?

The Jets usually tend to be streak busters of teams on a bad run.

I am fully expecting a loss in this game now that Habs have lost 2 straight to the Sens, they will come pissed off esp in the 1st and I don't know if the Jets can match their intensity... only hope is PLD is extra motivated playing in Quebec in the Bell Center other than that I don't see us matching the intensity of a desperate team.

That’s what separates the best teams as the real winners have that desperation to win more than most.

I’d rather face a losing team than a winning team as I usually assume there is a reason they are winning.

 

[FeatherHead]

Habs nation is melting down after last night's loss to Ottawa, if they lose to Ottawa again tonight then they'll come in angry on Thursday and I don't like our chances.

Well, Bob...

 

[Krauser]

Goals scored by the Habs top 4 centres combined, in 18 games each: 8
Goals scored by Mark Scheifele: 10

 

[GNP]

ears no, eyes definitely

If Helle got those big ears flapping, he'd be airborne in no time.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

In my mind the Jets had never won a game at Bell MTS place.
I guess that was just any game I attended.
Their record wasn't as bad as I thought but still quite poor.
Since 2011 we are 3 - 6 - 1 at home vs the Habs
27 goals for and 37 goals against.

Hopefully we can buck that trend this week.

I am worried about our malaise coming off of 3 or 3+ days off and the fact that MTL will be in desperate times with their terrible recent record.

One thing the Jets always seem to be connected to is breaking other teams slumps (be it W/L records or player statistics).

2 of those wins were several years ago. I remember distinctly being in attendance when Price had 0 help and another where Tokarski was just awful and the crowd chanted "We want Carey!" Gotta be at least 2015?

Just checked - these games were 2011 and 2015. Last win for the Jets at home against Montreal was March 2016.

 

[Jets 31]

I think the Jets and Toronto are the top 2 teams in the North, i also think we win on Thursday.

 

[steady]

Montreals going to be hungry, should be a interesting matchup

Yeah we have terrible against MTL. For years they've been the kind of team that we match up worst against. Quick, aggressive forechecking, solid transition play, a goalie that can steal a game. Argh.

 

[HannuJ]

Boom.

Claude Julien was just fired.

 

[Jetsfan79]

Darnit..couldn't they fire Julian AFTER playing the Jets? Just our luck. we will have to fend off the "fired up for new coach " super potion Montreal will be taking .

 

[MardyBum]

Ahhh the timing.

 

[snowkiddin]

Julien fired? Automatic loss incoming (come on, reverse jinx!)

 

[Channelcat]

Boom.

Claude Julien was just fired.

Wish they could have waited a few more days.

 

[Eyeseeing]

We just got to fire ours and all is good to counter

 

[Gnova]

Boom.

Claude Julien was just fired.

It doesn't matter.
The only player/coach under contract for MTL that matters is Price.
If Price is on his game the team wins, if not it loses. He has carried the team on his back for a decade now.

 

[Atoyot]

Boom.

Claude Julien was just fired.

Pretty normal for a team to go on a run after a shakeup like that. We should fire Maurice in response to help our chances.

 

[Jets 31]

Montreal did this because they were scared of getting destroyed by the Jets, not going to matter new coach or not the Jets are just starting to warm up the Dubois train.

 

[SUX2BU]

F*** the new coach mentality that is expected when one is hired.

Just win, baby ........

 

[Do or Die]

Still the same roster. Habs should of fired the GM. Just beat the hell out of them, anyways.
