Series Discussion: Round 1: Jets vs Blues

[LucianoBorsato]

LOl...you're right. I meant Millard.

Both Darrens, though, give or take an R

We’ve turned the switch a few times this year (against Nashville, Vegas). Having Morrissey back should be a big help in the defensive zone. If we play like we can, Blues are child’s play. Far too many people underestimating us on the main boards, but we will see.

Actually you’re right. I was thinking that it’s silly to think we could just turn it on, but we actually have a few times when we had something to prove.

The Jets always seemed to show up when they played Boston and Nashville this year.

They upped their compete level for most of the big teams which included Tampa and Washington.

They can turn it up if they need to.

I have a sick feeling the Blues are gonna setup a trap defense and avoid getting into a run and gun with the Jets. Jets are useless against the trap.

I got that Christmas evening feeling, I wonder if there’s a 12am GDT.

I think that's what hung me up.

Or old age...just dumb-pick one

Can't believe it's almost time!

If they do well as we rush out of our end we purposely pass the puck to their best player on the ice when being up close and then check the living hell out of him...

There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

Get the regular season out of your head

We are at war for the Stanley Cup

Our team saved their bodies for tomorrow night game...

It will be epic...

Have Faith and believe...


Go Go

Hypothetically, IF the Jets were to bow out to the Blues in the the first round, and again I stress hypothetically and IF in the off-season General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff receives a phone call from Bob Murray in Anaheim offering up Sam Steel +Cam Fowler for Patrick Laine, Chevy's response is what?

I don't think even the biggest Laine haters (that are Jets fans at least) would make that trade lol.

Please yes

@AlphaLackey is doing it so I'm sure it'll be great regardless of when it arrives!

Yeah sorry guys it's gonna be an early morning one, I'm afraid. Work has been kicking my ass all week

Chevy counters with 2019 1st, Lindholm, Ritchie, Getzlaf and Steel...

 

[The Blue Baron]

Alpha buddy it’s 12:17 local time where the GDT?

I got a little more free time on my hands now awaiting surgery...

I think and hope the Jets come out ripping out of the gates?

Helle to match Binningtons play at a minimum.

Little of all people will be a force.

GJG from my bed!

There's a 33% chance it arrives on time if 4 out of 7 things happen.

[AlphaLackey]

Well I'm dead tired and this video editing program is humiliating me so since I need to wait for the starting lineups to finish it off, I put the introduction and a little taster in, and reserved some posts for later this morning.

So that you don't need to put your haikus here.

I'm looking at the centre position for the Blues, and outside of O'Reilly who Scheifele can matchup against, they have Sundqvist, Bozak, and Barbashev. Sundqvist and Barbashev can skate, but from 2-4 we're quite a bit better at centre, and you hope it shows. The Blues have some scorers on the right side, it will be interesting to see how we match up against them. I think Morrissey is going to get a lot of shifts against Tarasenko. Perron and Thomas might cause some trouble as both are pretty shifty, and Steen will have the hometown step in his game. I think we are pretty even for top 3 on d. Morrissey is a bit better than Dunn, but we don't know how injured he is. I could see this being a tight and somewhat low scoring series, with the Blues wanting to battle in the trenches with us. I haven't seen Jordan Binnington play, this series will be the first time.

 

[behemolari]

Hopefully Laine wakes up and gets 5 goals on Wednesday

That would be awesome, then this series will escalate fast into Laine vs Tarasenko scoring contest
