Game 3 is going to be a big one. I like our chances.

 

[one other person]

Probably tough to get closer to zero percent chance of winning the cup in October than we did.

Edit: all teams have a zero percent chance of winning the cup in October

BTW practice is scheduled for the iceplex today at noon. It might be just an optional variety.

 

[PhilJets]

Ok
Got to shut down the Wilds in the 1st 5 minutes.

Im expecting

Tanev to score on them!

Must win.

We shouldn't take these guys lightly, we have our foot on their throat right now--it's time to go for the kill, and keep the pedal down--right to the metal. If we let up, and they win the next 2, it could turn out to be a dog fight. Let's end this early !!!

Any idea when the team is scheduled to fly out? Wondering because some commercial flights scheduled to depart early this evening are apparently already being cancelled.

Oh, and I expect our boys to keep up the pace and domination in tomorrow's game. Hoping that we don't lose any players to injuries caused by Boudreau's silly antics.

Normally it would be a couple hours after practice. They could always decide to overnight in Winnipeg and fly in tomorrow (obviously not ideal)

Why are flights being cancelled?

 

[Neuf]

One of the best home teams. It's up to Lowry and co to bust this one open.

Very fitting that this is currently what it looks like from the skycam in St Paul.

And no. That is not a frozen screen. That is a WHITEOUT.

Thx, I thought weather here, looked fine. Now I see.

Jets were scheduled to leave at 2 this afternoon, but it looks like that has been bumped up to 12 noon

Good call, no need for a skate today, rest up that body and get into Minny today!

In all 8 playoff series wild have been in they have started of 0-2 in 6 or 7 of them.

How many jets fans can we expect in the building?

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Minnie played for the first two periods a tight checking game, very conservative with clutching and grabbing, after being down 2-0 they opened up in the third to increase their scoring chances, you don't open up in the third period against the Jets! They got burned and frankly they were lucky it wasn't 8-1 rather than 4-1.
My gut tells me that Minnie will try and open game 3 with long passing and fast skating.

 

[Guerzy]

How fitting is it that Minneapolis is experiencing a whiteout the day the Jets fly in?

Agreed. They stretched the neutral zone game one to try to stop our aggressive forecheck. They had way more odd man rushes that game and I wasn't impressed with how we looked a good chunk of that game. They will go back to that.

I know of myself and 5 others personally. I’m gunna bet a fair amount. Should be fun!

 

[bustamente]

Jets game plan should be exactly the same, come out skating and hitting take the lead and more of the same, more pressure on Dumba and Brodin, Dumba didn't handle the extra minutes last night very well and the rest of the Wild D with the exception of Spurgeon who is still injured is AHL quality.

You guys better beat the weather! Enjoy!

Planning on waiting out the weather. Supposed to let up tonight. We are leaving EARLY tomorrow. We should make it 70% of the way before we hit where the storm was. And one thing about Merica is they know how to keep their roads clear. Fingers crossed. Go Jets Go!
