Pre-Game Talk: Season Opener!!!!Jan 14th Jets Host Flames

[DashingDane]

I have to say, all the games today have been super entertaining so far.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

only reason i want Walt Jr to get into a fight is so he's off the ice for 5 min and so is Thompson

A “win-win” as they say.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Edmonton’s goaltending was and is very suspect.
Such a good team otherwise

 

[Hunter368]

I'm preparing myself for some sloppy defensive plays, poor passing and bad shooting accuracy.............every game players looking very rusty Jets will be no different. Scrimmages vs your teammates isn't the same as games. Patience is going to be required by all NHL fans with their teams play for the first 5-10 games. That Habs - Leafs game was perfect example.

Habs played ok but not great and sucked on the PK. Leafs sucked bad for about 45-50 mins of the game and win in OT......total of 9 goals scored between both teams. Horrible game to watch, mistakes made constantly....Felt bad for both goalies & both coaches (not saying goalies & coaches were perfect either). Tire fire of a game.......NHL fans are going to lose their minds watching that kind of hockey. Yikes

 

[Howard Chuck]

Leafs fans going nuts because Matthews cross-checked Chiarot a couple times in a scrum. Matthews is tough now and not gonna take shit.

They should feel lucky that Ben didn't drop his mitts.

Also saying that they can't wait for Matthews and Laine to fight - I don't think chief wiggum wants that either haha

My first actual LOL in while

 

[FiveHoled]

I think you might have that backwards. My opinion is that the Jets didn't want Hammer this year

Hammer looked a little slow tonight.

Now you've jinx'd us...

I'm going out tonight to start up my snow blower... just to ward off the bad karma you just set...

We will get a couple blizzards in April with this talk...

I still have a boat load of sessions at Golftec I can't use right now due to Covid...

Covid... Cold extreme weather... they both start with Co'...

My reclamation project at Golftec was cut very short too. Hopefully we are good to go here soon with the way case loads are trending and with Christmas and New Years gatherings behind us. That dam new strain is the wild card.

The fact that the Canadian couple that had contact with a person that had it in the U.K and lied about it really pisses me off. You would think by now people might be a little smarter when it comes to Covid and a new strain to boot.

Any chance to talk about the Flames-Jets game on this topic?

Any update or projections about the lines?

yea both games last night were mistake filled. Oilers looked like garbage defensively. Nucks looked ok but with Holtby in net that is not a good look. I didn’t mind the Habs game at all but really bad penalty then a 3 v 5 turned the game around.

leafs looked really sloppy but their stars will carry them this year.

I expect the Jets to be a mess tonight and for our board to get angry and stay angry all season. By setting the bar nice and low I am braced.

I am not going to worry about forward lines until we hear Ehlers status. If the D parings are as projected early in the season with Poolman on the top pairing with Morrissey then I will hope I am am wrong and am missing something because that was closer to a 3rd pair than a 2nd pair last season.

Agreed, I'm preparing for hot mess of hockey for the first 5-10 games due to a lot of rust.

had to go to the bank yesterday. about a 10 min walk from my house.
glanced inside 4 or 5 stores. one was a cheque cashing s-hole. elderly lady in there, no mask. 2 employees, no mask.
Masks have been mandatory since the summer.
walked by a small Greek grocery store. tiny place. maybe 20 x 20 ft? woman working there, no mask.

 

[Jet]

I would love to see that.
Is it because Laine is more attractive that they think a large Scandinavian won't kick his ass?

They honestly both look like porn stars.

They might as well be wearing signs that say "I'm a careless and lazy idiot", on their heads.

Anyways, I'm eager to see the Winnipeg Vesalainens put on a show tonight!!!

Ya , the other day i was in the drive through at a new Wendys , super long line so people were going inside to order and when i finally got near the store i could see one guy standing in line right up against other people and he had no mask on. I could see people looking at him and shaking their heads, just a dumbass .

They honestly both look like porn stars.

Stars? Or the guy that holds open the door for the plumber who's there to fix the sink?

I'm expecting the hockey to be mostly terrible, and the aggression levels high.
