Pre-Game Talk: RD1 GM3 - Jets vs Wild - Sun Apr 15 6:00pm CT

[jokesondee]

Not happy with these developments at all

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Good thing the Jets are clearly the superior team, otherwise these developments might be worrisome

Let's not get overly cocky. Minnesota lost six games at home all season.

Really hoping we win game three. I'll feel a lot better being up 3-0 in this series.

 

[Neuf]

Not ideal. But oh well

 

[Neuf]

Break their will in St.Paul.
Next celly I want to see:

I was at this one and was screaming

Can't I be a little cocky, please?

I really do believe in this team!

 

[Jets 31]

Well now we have a excuse if we don't play well , just like The Wild would be kicking our butts if they had Suter in their lineup .

 

[King Woodballs]

They couldn’t land. Had to turn around. Now need to fly on a game day.
Which is really bull shit in my opinion.

They need to postpone the game play Monday Wednesday Friday instead of Sunday Tuesday Friday.

This isn’t game 22 of the regular season. It’s the bloody playoffs ffs

Another poster in another thread stated quite a few inaccuracies about how the Jets travel.

The flights the Jets use don't use a gate at MSP. They use a general aviation ramp where buses and luggage trucks can pull right up to the plane for swift deplaning. They don't need to wait for a gate there.

Flights are never prevented from landing at an alternate airport. Safety is always number one priority . Not sure where he got that one from.

It will be Monday Tuesday if postponed IMO

Lost 14 home games actually. Just earned the loser point for 8 of them.

 

[Repoman]

You can land at an alternate for sure but I'm pretty sure that the transborder rules would prevent the Jets from deplaning in Duluth (except for emergency). They would either have to carry on to MSP where their flight plan indicated or return to YWG.

Probably advantageous for the Jets given the Wild are relying heavily on a few players.

Is this supposed to be something other than fact?

 

[Guardian17]

Talked with a friend of mine who is a pilot.

The Jets may not have been able to leave last night because their charter aircraft may not have been available.

Charter aircraft are used by multiple customers.

With all the bad weather, most of the hotels would be filled and it is unlikely the Jets could find one with enough empty rooms.

It sucks, but, we can deal with it.

I was looking at the icetime from game 2, they rolled 4 lines more than I was expecting. They do overplay their top 3 D, but so do we so that's a wash.

 

[JetsFan815]

I think at this point it's best if the game is postponed. As much as I want to see a Jets game tomorrow, there is no point rushing the players around in suboptimal conditions.

The Jets should have asked the Wild if they can hitch a ride on their plane if their charter was not available. It would have been awkward but who cares.

I have a need to point out the obvious

Actually there is nothing preventing it. They had already cleared customs in Winnipeg. Even if they hadn't there is customs service at Duluth.

Air Canada would try to discourage them though because they don't have a base there and everything needed to accomplish that air stairs baggage handling parking etc....would cost the airline money.

Seat Tanev next to Winnik, and Seeler next to Chiarot?

You can’t be serious..

 

[Cellee]

The Mild can get a bee in their bonnet about chirping between benches and tensions late in the game. That is all irrelevant and does not impact what has happened or will happen in this series.

They were grasping at lack of experience, no playoff wins, and being the underdog before the series.

That did not work, so now it is on to "back on home ice", fired up at the end of the game, been down in 2-0 in 5/6 years (apparently a point of pride", yadda yadda.

The Wild need all these external hopes for a tangible impact on the game. The Jets just need to keep playing the exact same way and not rely on wish and hope.

 

[jefferoni]

Or just cut to the chase and sit Buff between Seeler and Winnik...

Fun fact.....when the ice caps played Texas in the Calder Cup, the teams actually shared a charter between cities to save money. Must have been a bit awkward no?

Also they will only postpone the game if they really have to. So far that is not the case.

Wild fly in a small plane....friend sent me a pick of their plane at the airport...I was surprised it was so small TBH

They fly in a 757.... it's a pretty large aircraft
