Snow Misers vs Heat Misers Edition

He's Mister ice hockey,
He's Mister snow
He's Mister traditionalist
He thinks hockey should be played in weather
- no higher than 10 below (that's Celsius!)
They call them Canada's Team
Whatever Buff does touch
Turns to mush in his clutch
They're too much!

He's Mister green playoffs,
He's Mister sun
He's Mister new comer
He's just here to have some fun
They call them Cinderella
Whomever they touch
Gets burned by speed on a rush
They're too much!

Open.

 

[SLAYER]

Time for a bounce back performance.

 

[Sheppy]

4-1 Jets

 

[LasVegasNHL]

Lets go Vegas !!! Super crucial we get the first goal !

 

[jetsforever]

Big game today!
Go Jets!!

 

[Wolf357]

It was 33c here in Manitoba yesterday...but the GDT is still pretty clever
Jets gotta get some production from all 4 lines....may a garbage goal from Ehlers to get him on track...

6-0 Vegas. The reverse jinx is in order!

Same goes for WPG, the defensive shut downs have been too real to give up the early lead. How both teams fare in Vegas will be huge too. Last series Winnipeg played better on the road but Nashville also played worse at home where as Vegas I think has a lot less pressure on them and will be able to consistently play their game on either ice. Only game two but tonight feels very detrimental.

The anticipation level for this game is thru the roof. I think the winner of this game takes the series.

 

[DannyGallivan]

Winnipeg wins. Ehlers is "goal constipated"... when he takes his "scoring touch laxative", about five goals should come out at once.

 

[Osprey]

I predict...

If the Jets score 3 or more, we'll hear that the Knights can't hang with the Jets and don't belong in the series.

If the Jets fail to score at least 3, we'll hear that the Knights can't hang with the Jets and have to play the trap to scrape out any wins.

Disclaimer: Most Jets fans would never say either, but there are a couple who you can bet will say one or the other.

I'd like to see some historical stats on home ice advantage. Curious if it's just this year that it's not that important.

Both these teams are deep enough that while their top lines are clearly going to score more, there's no weak lines to exploit matchups on. I don't think home ice is going to matter at all in this series.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Between the home opener, G1 of R1 and G1 of R2, the Knights have a cumulative goal differential of +8 (9-1) in the first period.

I expect a strong push in front a raucous crowd from the drop of the puck.

The Toronto Sports Network is complete crap.

They only love the Leafs & BlueJays.

91 degrees Fahrenheit for those not yet on the metric system. Took me three tries to spell Fahrenheit; although one was forgetting the capitalization.

Bet365 has the Jets as underdogs at the moment. They're paying 2.10:1 vs 1.76:1 on the Knights. Jets -1.5 are paying 4:1 while the Knights -1.5 are paying 3.25:1. One goal games are getting rarer, time for some profit?

11-2 Vegas

Vegas -4.5 are paying 16.5:1. How certain are you on that score?

 

[CupsOverCash]

Havent been able to watch much of this series. I know the score is tied but is it pretty even so far or is one team carrying the play?

 

[PaperRockChamp]

Yes, Vegas and Ryan Reaves look unbeatable and should finish this up by Sunday.

 

[burnoutberry]

11-2 Vegas

22-4 Winnipeg. Your move.

 

[LasVegasNHL]

Calling it now, Ryan Reaves with the Gordie Howe hat trick. GWG, assist and will knock out Dustin Byfuglien right after the first puck drop

 

[Gnova]

5-2 Jets.
