Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 Game 4 Jets-Wild

[JetsFan815]

Let's move on from the last game.

The Jets have won the Corsi and xGoals battle in every single game this series at 5 on 5. That points to good things to come but my stomach is in knots.

Is Perreault traveling with the team?

Will Toby be healthy enough to get back into the lineup? (He is travelling with the team).

I am surprised that no one has espoused the conspiracy theory that Chipman had the Jets throw this game to play the extra game or two at home to get that almighty playoff ticket $$$$

The Wild had pretty much every bounce go their way last night. The guys need to remember how to play hard without taking penalties, because that's the only chance the Wild have in this series.

Someone laughed at me when i said that Minny has a chance to come back. His reasoning was that he doesnt see the Jets suddenly taking their foot off the gas pedal....yeaah. We did beat them handedly in the first two games but its still the playoffs and if you fall asleep you'll lose.

Because that takes a special level of stupid to think that.

Mn can certainly still take this.

 

[cbcwpg]

First Kulikov, then Enstrom, now maybe Myers.... we are getting a bit thin on the defensive side of the ledger.

 

[suihkukone]

At least Koivu still looked banged up fro game 2. Get back to that physical game.

Staal crying in the refs ear every f***ing stoppage is reminding me of the eighties and a certain Oiler player.

He has that annoying suck face as well, I want to plow him.

 

[KidShowtime]

Jets can't sleep on minny. They're a team that can absolutely play the upset.

Let's hope things go better tomorrow. A game 4 win will throw this city in to a frenzy on Friday.

Can't say I've got much respect for him. That little piece SN did didn't help either. He spent years pouting in Carolina cuz he didn't get his way?. Boo hoo.

 

[Jets 31]

The Wild finished 3rd in the best division in hockey , they are a good team and i didn't think we would sweep them . They are almost as good at home as us , we win game 4 and look out , if they win game 4 it's a best of 3 and we have 2 at home , we are still looking good .

 

[Jets 31]

If the Wild keep hurting our D , they will play right into our secret weapon Niku .

 

[Ducky10]

I think the Jets will be more prepard for Foligno running around like a lunatic tomorrow night. They'll have more poise and hopefully exploit how hopelessly out of position he was putting himself on most of his hits.

Buff planting him would be great too.

It’s sickening to read fans wishing for players to get hurt. Wishing it and that fan’s team is not even playing the Jets. I’m staying off HF until after the playoffs.

And nothing go our way, minus Wheeler goal. But there were so many other chances that just missed as well. Connor just missed top shelf when the game was 3-2 right after we scored the second goal. That could have changed the whole game.

Chariot with his stupid penalties, as weak as they were, it was clear with the penalties on Min that the game was going to be called close, so why even test it.

Three iceplex practices coming up.........

Post of the year...cannot be improved on.

every team has a theoretical chance to come back.
i still see the jets in 5.

Chiarot himself was cross checked worse than the penalty he took just before he got called. I think like everything the issue I have with reffing is consistency.

Also the 5 on 3 really pissed me off because they basically gave Minny a goal. That was the most BS call of the whole night.

Here's the analytical view

 

[Gotaf7]

I never expected them to sweep the Wild, we have been one of the hottest teams in the league in the last month, eventually a poor performance will come along. I fully expect Winnipeg Jets hockey on Tuesday night.

Ok, see ya. It's a contact sport and players have been self-policing since the beginning of time. I don't approve injuring players seriously, but I'm all for making players pay for cheap shots and make the opposition think twice about pulling **** stuff like that.

 

[Deedog99]

Must win game?

 

[Aavco Cup]

7:00ct start for this game

Agree , no one wants anyone hurt but when guys are deliberately trying to hurt guys with dirty crap like Foligno was doing , you want him to pay for that crap . Foligno went at Trouba's head and then Myers's knee almost like his coach showed him where these guys were hurt before . Conspiracy theory maybe , but i don't put anything by Spanky .

 

[Huffer]

Credit to the Wild for winning a game they really needed.

Fully expecting a closer game in game 4. I'd like to see the Jets play a little faster, work harder on moving traffic in front of Helle, get more traffic in front of Duby, and tighten some gaps so that our D doesn't need to collapse so far into our zone on the Wild rush.
