Wow impressive. I think he leads bone headed plays also.

I hope he’s starting tonight so that his feelings don’t get hurt.

 

[Zippity]

It will be a shame if Rangers go the distance and Wheeler doesn’t get his name on the cup

 

[Wedgeden]

Just asking for a little success tonight.

He qualifies.

today is the beginning of the legend that is the 2024 Winnipeg Jets. This team has an opportunity to not only change the script on how everyone perceives their careers, but to become legends ala Winnipeg Falcons Olympic Champions. 13 years since return. Teemu was number 13. Teemu won a Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup was won by the Winnipeg Victorias 3 times. 3+13 is 16. Josh Morrissey was 16 when the Jets returned 13 years ago. 16-13 is 3. 3 is how many games the Jets need to win in a row. #theprophecy

Throw me a fricken bone, indeed. Gonna need all the bones to have this one play out.

Loved that movie

 

[Eyeseeing]

He qualifies.

The Rangers will not win the cup, it will be a Western Conference team

Anybody notice in the Stars game how the stars got their goals?
Throwing the puck at the net … no slap shots just a quick wrist shot from any angle and sending players to net looking for rebounds. One went off the mask, one off a shoulder and the other was a rebound. That’s what you have to do in the playoffs to score goals.
I made a point of watching how many slap shots were used in the 3rd period. I counted only 2 … one was when no one was in front of the net and the other missed the net, hit the boards and came out of the zone and killed the momentum.
Hopefully the Jets D watched and noticed too you don’t have to blast the puck at the net.

Full blender out, hope if they go out they go out with a fight this year.

 

[DRW204]

Really hoping for a W but really not confident based on this series so far. The Jets just seem so out matched with the Avs speed and puck moving. Just please show up at the minimum I guess, unlike few of the previous elimination games (Vegas and STL come to mind)

 

[tbcwpg]

I've got big Kevin Hayes vibes from Toffoli, doesn't seem to want to be here. His effort level moved him to the 4th line just like Hayes.

Ha, I completely got the lines right tonight.

They are combinations that have worked well, hopefully they replicate that success.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Lineup changes done right, just in time for an elimination game. And it only took injuries to Names, Barron and Dillon to make it happen.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Love the changes to the lineup! I've wanted a Schmidt/Miller pairing since trading deadline.

 

[Do or Die]

Be nice to see some pushback, and reward the White Out

And the coach getting called out by his players and the press.

For the record, if you go back in the last game's PGT, those are EXACTLY the forward lines I said I'd run lol

See everyone? It's not that hard to get Bones to do what you want

 

[The Blue Baron]

Full blender out, hope if they go out they go out with a fight this year.

good to see Perfhetti out there!

 

[abax44]

No Perfhetti! WTF

Look again.

Edit - looks like you looked again

 

[Pongs21]

1 Game at a time

 

[Inanna]

I don't believe any of them live in this city year round

Lowry does. Hellebuyck does. Probably some others who I haven't seen on TV.

I saw Dillion here in town at events in July and August.

 

[Weezeric]

Jets win tonight. 5-2. Perfetti and Ehlers each with two points.

 

[Gordon112358]

I don't even know what to say about this game so let's just keep it simple and recall the scene from Rocky 2

 

[raideralex99]

This is going to be a fun game to watch hopefully Ehlers gets the monkey of his back and scores the game winner and Perfetti shows he is ready for the big show.
I can see a few jokes in the future if the Jets win.
Scheifele calls out the coaches so Bones comes back with I'm taking Connor off your line and putting Ehlers on it ... who's laughing now.
