Pre-Game Talk: PLAYOFFS! at vegas tuesday thursday

[sixty minute hockey]

Whiteout street party ticket sale was a joke once again. Fairly quickly got to the ticket sale page for Saturday’s game but it would immediately time out.

Wear a F*** Vegas jersey on top of the Jets jersey?

Wear an oversized Jets jersey with absolutely nothing underneath? They're not gonna let you go in naked.

No they’re certainly not. People in Las Vegas pay good money to obtain a license to display their anatomical wares.
It’s not free, unlike in Portland where all you need is a Harley.

Experts' predictions: First-round playoff picks

Our experts weigh in with their predictions for the first round of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs.

www.espn.com

5 of 13 ESPN analysts picked the Jets, including Pierre Lebrun.

I can't find the TSN record of their 2015 playoff predictions but I remember it as being similar to Sportsnet.

Thanks for this. I do remember O’Neil picking us to win the Cup but didn’t remember the rest. I remember, of course, hoping for an upset but figuring it wasn’t very likely.

As a side note, not sure what these analysts were thinking. Everyone knows the Ducks under Boudreau would choke in the third runs, not the first.

 

[Jets 31]

I’m honestly worried about how our 2nd line with Names-Wheeler will shape up in the playoffs. Wonder if Bones reconsiders moving Scheif back, and maybe getting Connor/Dubois/Ehlers back together.

I wouldn't change a thing unless we play bad , then ya move guys around. I like Dubois, Connor and Scheifele on the wing , if Connor starts scoring that's a line that can match up with any line in the league.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Honestly I’m pretty negative about the Jets and I picked Vegas to win in five in my pool, but with Hellebuyck in net anything is possible. Split the first two in Vegas and we’re in good shape.

Famous last words, but I’ll take playing Brossoit.

Very cool analytical take.
It may even make you some money..
But this homey will vote with his right hemisphere and project thoughts of a Jets win out into the universe.

Well said! Until game time tomorrow anything is possible. After that we are dependent on the unfolding of events, to alter our reality.

Okay, there has to be an interesting story (or several) behind that. I could speculate about what a reverse stripper actually is or does but instead I'll ask for more details. Can you elaborate, please?

Wild guess: people paid him money to keep his clothes on

Nice to see Ehlers in the regular jersey.

Would love to get Perfetti back this series.

Last time there was a lot of hype around the 8th seeded Jets maybe upsetting the top seed in the West, they were swept in 4.

Yes, they were swept in 4 games. But don’t forget, over the 4 games COMBINED, Anaheim led the games for a grand total of 13 minutes. It was a much closer series than the 4 game sweep showed….

 

[Jet]

I really love T Mobile Arena, the amenities and that it's on the strip. Great place to take in a game

Also, f*** Vegas

I am ok with Gus over Stenlund

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Which team will climb to the top?

Schiefele is winning the climbing race

Must be all that practice with his goats ........

Gustafsson does nothing for me, i'd rather have Stenlund. Bigger body and atleast he contributes offensively every once in a while.

 

[Stumbledore]

i remember that stl game he came in relief for hutch. saved 19/20, with the GA being a shot from center ice. from that point on he went 9-3-1 with a 950 sv% with 4 SOs lol.

I remember that shot. It was really high, came from over near the benches and Pav said he lost it against the background of the crowd in their seats. A pretty mediocre goalie with occassional bursts of amazing brilliance.

This is really it. Predictions and hype are all fluctuant.

Lack of offence is biggest knock on Gus, yes
But he’s good defensively which would help against Vegas depth

Maybe Stenlund gets back in before puck drop?

 

[Thechozen1]

I’ve liked Stenlund on the PK. Very solid signing this past summer.

unfortunately, it was the 13 minutes that mattered most, lol.

Painfully true!!!

It's exactly what it sounds like. Google is your friend.

It's not my friend. When I google reverse stripping it takes me to PornHub. No thanks.

 

[Atoyot]

Gustafsson does nothing for me, i'd rather have Stenlund. Bigger body and atleast he contributes offensively every once in a while.

The offensive difference is 3 points in 8 more games. Per 60 they're pretty close. Expected numbers puts Stenlund as the worst on the team, lower than Maenalanen even. Main difference is Stenlund has been able to finish but when we're looking at such small production over a large sample of games it can be chalked up to being a little luckier a couple more times. Also Stenlund's defensive numbers are bad and even ignoring who might have been more lucky Gustafsson's defensive game is worth more than those extra 3 points.

 

[surixon]

Perfetti 10 days to two weeks away so game 5 or 6 maybe.
