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

[Farmboy Patty]

I think them running our guys is because we were running their guys. that's the way it works. so buff lands a solid clean hit on foligno like you say is that going to change his mind and make him let up when he is about to smash Morrissey into the glass next time. stop running around looking for trouble and just finish your hits that's all and skate them into the ground and out skill them. if they revert back to how they had to prove they were tougher then the ducks they will lose this series too.

I doubt that the stuff that Foligno was up to was a consequence of our guys playing hard but clean. He went after Troubas head (who recently suffered a concussion) and Myers legs (who's been dealing with knee and hip problems afaik) to take them off or out of the game. That was going to happen no regardless of how hard or soft the Jets played the game before, because it was a strategic, malicious move to even out the playfield on defense.

It's call hooking, slashing, roughing ... if the ref does not call it great but if he does give the Wild penalties ... you know the refs will even out the calls.
Before the 4th Wild goal Wheeler was tripped but the refs were not going to give the Jets 3 straight PPs.
It's only one game ... the Wild are playing with fire if they think they can win the series playing like this.

It is completely out of any teams hands to be able to force a referee to call any penalty

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

Agreed, the non call on Chiarot and then when he was penalized for a lesser version of the same play has to be extremely frustrating.

Sure he could have shown more restraint but essentially he was "told" that play was not worth a penalty call. Clearly a bad sequence for the refs and the Lowry call was another really bad decision by the refs.

Not a good game by the Jets by any means but still some slanted calls that had too much influence.

It's the same coach as when we played the Ducks , this is how Spanky wants them to play or the Wild are done . And who here doesn't think Spanky's job isn't on the line if the Wild lose this series , i do .

Hey guys, gotta take the blame for this loss. Forgot to pick up the most Canadian beer from my st louis grocery store. 2-0 when I have it, 0-1 without.

Won't make that mistake again, sorry

 

[Ducky10]

I don't think you mean what I think this means

Hmmm, perhaps some better phrasing is in order.

 

[Ducky10]

Must win game?

Lol, no.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Lol, no.

It is must win..... for the Wild

 

[Ducky10]

It is must win..... for the Wild

It's a best of 5?

 

[Ducky10]

The way Zucker went down like Lowry knifed him or something was pathetic.

 

[Do or Die]

Jets just have to get out there and make it a fast transition game. A better PP would help back off the Wild, as well....

 

[MrGrinch]

Sorry I didn’t want to start a whole new thread for this. Is anybody hearing anything on start time for Game 5 now that we are assured another game in Winnipeg?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think we could chant 'Nick is better' to Marcus Foligno.

 

[Aavco Cup]

It's a best of 5?

You think they can beat us three straight after falling behind 3-1?

I think you’ll hear something after tonight’s games. Two of those series also have potential game 5’s on friday

If anybody has an update on Tyler's Myer's injury-please quote my post, and post the answer, as I'd really like to know.

I'm hoping it's a bruised knee bone from hitting the boards, but I guess it also could be a strained knee ligament, or something of that nature. We really need his scoring in my opinion, and we'll miss him-- I know I will.

Note-The Jet's likely won't say--they'll just say lower body-- but if they say--day to day or 4-7 days--at least we'll have an idea.

I know, I don't disagree, but when you see what the ref is calling you should be extra careful of what you are doing.

Exactly....I've lived it.

I was only kidding, different team, different time. Just pointing out it's not a must win until you've lost 3.

 

[Eyeseeing]

I think both teams play a very disciplined game tomorrow.
The Jets have to keep their emotions in check & try to replicate game 1 & 2 in which they totally dominated the Wild.
Dubynk is the lipstick on the pig for those 2 games.
I'm thinking 2-1 Jets.... ( ok hoping )

Yes one should bit it was such a drastic change from the previous games and it’s quite likely Chiarot assumed a play like that was not crossing the line since a Wild player had just done the same thing to him with no repercussions

I believe it is though. They lose and they are not coming back. A win is a dagger in their heart

It is the birthright of the Winnipeg Jets to disappoint. Do any of y'alls remember the 80s and 90s? This is what the Winnipeg Jets do. They lose. They briefly raise your hopes. Then they lose. The Winnipeg Jets that lost last night are the real Winnipeg Jets, the Jets that will show up, when push comes to shove, again and again, time after time, across decades, across generations, it's in their blood, in their DNA, their destiny, their fate, it's cosmic, it's bigger than Patrik Laine, it's bigger than Teemu Selanne, it's bigger than Dale Hawerchuk, it is the way of things, it is just so. The Winnipeg Jets will lose. Never lose sight of that.

You picked Auston Matthews to win the Vezina, so...
