Pre-Game Talk: ROUND 1 GAME 5 JETS vs WILD APR 20 6:30 CST - MOVIE NIGHT!

[GeorgeJETson]

Not that early. Be in your seat aprx 5 minutes before 6

Thanks again!

Looking forward when we punch our ticket to the 2nd round on Friday

 

[Neuf]

The real test?

 

[ICdave]

Coach Maurice scrum topics: What stands out to him from last night’s game the day after? On his experience that he can share with his team on closing out a series. The importance of scoring first. Time spent playing with a lead. Is he surprised that Josh Morrissey got a hearing and would he be surprised if he was suspended? If Morrissey was suspended, more reliance on the Jets depth defencemen. On the new look of the Jets power play. On whether Niku would be recalled. Is Enstrom skating? Does he expect him to skate tomorrow? The impact of Morrissey and what the lineup could look without him. The Wild without Parise. Does he like having two days between games? Update on Dmitry Kulikov?

Street party opens at 4:30 I have getting there for the opening hanging out a hour then heading in, the street party should be rocking on Friday.

Getting through to round 2 is my personal line in the sand as far as qualifying this season as a solid success. Getting booted in rd 1 would have felt like a real disappointment (especially now with the 3-1 series lead) so please win game 5 and I can relax and just enjoy the ride for the remainder how ever far it goes...

 

[Jet]

What a pathetic bunch the Wild have turned out to be. I don't think the Jets have nearly hit their stride and the only game the mild managed to win was largely by luck and an off game by our goalie.

Will be so satisfying to put clowns like Foligno and Winnik out to pasture.

Awesome - that last one cracked me up

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I think the extra off days has got to help the Wild more than jets.

Dumba needs the rest, spergeon gets healthier.

 

[Aggie204]

Man, Friday can’t come fast enough. Finally we are building some bad blood instead of a “forced regional rivalry”. Next years games are gonna be good.

I love my beef extra salty.

Same here. A round 2 appearance was my expectation on this season. If we get there it's all bonus round from there.

Did Maurice say anything about injured players returning for Friday? It’s time to start speculating on defensive pairings...

Reporters asked. He said "are you coming tomorrow?" they replied yes. He said "ask me tomorrow.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Best guess would be

Chiarot Trouba
Morrow Buff
Niku Poolman

or

Chiarot Trouba
Morrow Buff
Poolman Myers

Maurice is a bit of a lovable smartass!

How bizarre is it that I just typed Chiarot on a top pairing and I still believe our team can win?

 

[Aavco Cup]

HNIC panel just stated they have heard the Tyler Myers is good to go Friday

hope he makes it through the game. I cannot help but feel he is a bit wobbly still.

 

[Weezeric]

The wild have no offence with parise out, they're a one line team. At home, with the match ups, The Lowry line should be able to shutdown their top line and allow our top 6 to score. I'm not worried about this game at all. Pomo should be able to have trouba or buff on the ice whenever necessary.

 

[Ducky10]

I hope Myers and Enstrom are both back, just so we can say "depth assholes, suck it".

 

[PhilJets]

Wow that left side

That's top even the top 3 and looks ok now.

Chairot and Morrow are ok for now.
Only Niku is the unknown as this is a playoff game.

Though i think if Myers is in. Which i hope
Poolman slides into the leftside.

No word on Enstrom?

 

[PhilJets]

Hope

Connor
Little
Ehlers
Score next game to get them going......

Jets killer instinct 1st test. 1st close out game.

If Jets dominate the 1st period this will over and Wilds will waive the flag.

Im hoping a 3 goal lead at end of 1st period.

 

[Ducky10]

Trouba Chiarot
Buff Morrow
Myers Poolman

Not so bad, easier to manage at home.

 

[Aavco Cup]

I heard Boudreau is a little less cranky now. He just got fed but needs burping. Any volunteers?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Brilliant job Muddy buddy

I enjoyed Lowry as Frankenstein

No JoMo but I think Niku will surprise some!

Jets will be out for blood Friday

GO JETS GO
