We need to play our damned game

Also, first

Also, people are still counting us out. Georgiev was bad but I don't think that's the only way we win this series. We can beat em honestly too as long as we play our game

 

[The Blue Baron]

I look for a seriously sweet bounce back game from a D zone systems stand point and Vezina Hellboi return!

A better start in general to pretty please!

Thanks @macmaroon now go to bed eh! You’ll need your rest for tomorrow night 8:30PM CST start!

GO JETS GO


Play as an aggressive unit and we’ll be fine!

Nice one Mac. Also, slick playoff duds. They look quite comfy for catching a few postseason Z's in.

Anticipating the boys will calm down a bit and get back to playing the system. A responsible defensive game would be much appreciated. They outdueled Colorado at gunslinging, now shutdown their top line and start sewing early seeds of doubt. What will help with that immensely, and I said it prior to game 1 - is Helle supplying the Jets with all-world playoff goaltending. He did well to weather an early first period onslaught, played ok.. but ultimately gives up 6. I'm sure he'll want to rectify that tomorrow night, it's time for him to lock in. If he gets into a groove, he makes beating the Jets a tough proposition. Especially when the opposition netminder looks like he learned the trade from reading Goaltending for Dummies. Expect Mad Dog, Ehlers and Cap'n Crunch to drive their respective lines.

All that said, win however you need to. Just win and take it to Colorado with both hands on the wheel.

 

[Jets 31]

Thanks again for the funny GDT @macmaroon . Colorado thought they had a chance with playing a high scoring game but that didn't work very well....

 

[Jets 31]

Music for tonight , lets leave Colorado Wanting and Waiting for a win against the Jets once again....

 

[Jets 31]

And Christina says come on Jets lets beat Colorado for the 5th game in a row this season and win our 10th game in row.

Jets playoff hoodies are sick! up the irons!

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Great thread Mac! Go jets go!

I really don't get it to be honest. I mean yeah, The Avs have some big guns. But still, we've beat them 4 games this season and it's not like we're some team that had their number during the season but just barely squeaked into the post season ourselves. We finished ahead of them in the standings! Even with their pedigree, I don't see how we have worse than even odds in this series...

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @macmaroon

I anticipate that Colorado will come out guns blazing.

But, so will we.

Couple that with the Jets playing D, and ...

The cat's in the bag.

Advance, Jets, into the maelstrom of the white out. Into the breach one more time, dear friends.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our Jetted dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect..



This Henry V quote reminds me summat of Lowry.

Go Jets!!

 

[kanadalainen]

Thy 4k set will show thee how thy beauties wear,
Thy dial how Colorado’s precious minutes waste;
The vacant Bednar leaves thy mind's imprint will bear,
And his limp greas’d locks his forehead may paste.
The wrinkles which this second game will truly show
Of amp’d D, Jets will give thee memory;
Thou by Helly’s shady stealth mayst know
MacK's thievish progress to golfing tee.
Look, what thy memory can not contain
Commit to these white towels, and thou shalt find
Those hopes nursed, deliver'd to thine brain,
To take a new residence of thine mind.
These outcomes, so oft as thou wilt look,
Shall profit us, but leave the Avs wholly shook.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Actually when you think about it, we're really sort of like kryptonite for a team like the Avs. We've been defensively sound most of the season, have the best goalie in the league, and we have decent depth so we can focus on shutting their big guns down and still get scoring from the other lines which takes advantage of their iffy goalies...

Not to say I think we've got this of course. It's still a tough match up. I just don't see why we're being counted out so much.

 

[PhilJets]

Man Jets should really clamp down.
They need to win this game

If not
1-1 and Colorado has the momentum

GO JETS GO

the only band that matters for the only team that matters

i was yelling it all last game from sec 330, "tighten up the NZ!"

 

[The Blue Baron]

Exactly @kanadalainen however the Jets need to match the firepower to!

It seems like the book makers are putting weight on the Avs recent Stanley Cup against the Jets playoff performances. I’m seeing a lot of media personalities giving the series to the Jets.

 

[Stumbledore]

So tonight should be our 10th win in a row. Any of you stats hounds know what our longest winning streak has been? Not interested in last century, just what the record is for the current team.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Would like to see the second line of Tiny Eyes, Electric Ehl and Monorail make some hay this game.

I'd really love to see a convincing 4-0 win where we frustrate the Avs all night and Helle play great but it's not the reason we win

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

LETS f***IN GO!

Get back to playing our game, none of this run and gun stuff please. Helle, lets show them why you're the unanimous Vezina winner this year.

Lets f*** this shit up.

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the GDT @macmaroon !

I'm glad people are counting us out despite winning Game 1.

This series reminds me of when we swept the Oilers.

If we can tighten up defensively we should be fine.

 

[surixon]

So what is the over/under on another 13 goals tonight?

 

[scelaton]

So tonight should be our 10th win in a row. Any of you stats hounds know what our longest winning streak has been? Not interested in last century, just what the record is for the current team.

Regular season win streak is 8 games and point streak is 14. There's more one could say with a bit of digging, but it's not worth the risk of being scorned.

Post-Game Talk: - Jets 7 - Avs 6, Jets lead series 1-0

Odd take, since winning games are what you need to win a series. Guess I just don't understand. I think it was a poor choice of words on his part - and he has been dumped on for it. Something like ...... can't like the style of game they played, in spite of the win, because they won't likely...

This.

Solid, pack-of-wolves type game, with less standing around, falling over, sifting pucks off the dasher onto the tape of Avs players, wish passes up the middle and low-percentage shots from the corners and more of the smart, suffocating, clinical finishing we see when the Jets are on their best game. Frustrate, and finish.

Looking forward to catching up to this one tomorrow night -- thanks for another Hart-worthy GDT, @macmaroon, and looks like sunshine for all you outdoor partygoers this eve! A few of my mates will be there, wish I could be too.

Lets go mountaineering!
