Series Discussion: WCF - Jets vs. Knights - Series tied 0-0

[Cellee]

i think gary will be happy if the jets win the cup - maybe i was looking too much into things, but over the years i thought i would always see a glint in his eye every time he got to present the stanley cup to one of his teams - (all the new teams that came into the nhl after he became commissioner - i called them, gary's teams) - now here's the thing - the jets are one of 'gary's teams' - so if we do win the cup, i think he'll be happy about it - and that just might be what it takes to end the canadian drought over the stanley cup - to get one of 'gary's teams to do it' - go jets go!!! and thank you so much gary!!!

None of this conspiracy garbage. We are better than that crap.

Mike Rupp picked JETS in 6

Kevin Weeks Knights to advance because he said they are super fast has structure and have 4 srcond lines.
4 second lines?

 

[oldunclehue]

Just booked myself for game 5 in Wpg! So friggin excited! But won’t be mad if Jets take it in 4 and I miss out!

Wooooo

I feel like Nik is going to have a HUGE series. This is his type of game, speed and space.

Hope I'm not a curse. I picked Minnesota in 6/7 and then Nashville in 6. Now picking Jets in 5. I've long said that whoever won the Central will win the West, I don't believe than any Pacific team could hang with the best in the Central this year.

Yeah both Minny and Nashville play a tighter checking game. Vegas is very firewagon type hockey. Speed, transition and shot quality. Hopefully Ehlers thrives in this environment. We also need the Lowry line to slow the game down and keep up the cycling they are doing. That's going to be key to winning at home is Lowrys line slowing the game down while the other lines speed it up.

Good god Holden you got to keep doing what you are doing or we will lose. I have sat on the same part of the couch because when I do the Jets win. I will not be the cause of the Jets losing

it's called a joke

I hope CBC and NBC hate us going to the Finals

The weather network likes us. Gives them a national whiteout to talk about.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

I think Liane will have better success against a goalie not of Finnish or Greek/Finnish heritage. They had his number all series.

I've worn the same pair of lucky sox since the start of the POs. I get the couch to myself now.

 

[untouchable21]

The Kings and Sharks were a combined +59. Jets alone were +59. The Golden Knights are in for a treat!

Hope those statistics add up to victories.

I just can’t help being a skeptic especially when that team has defied the odds all season. It’s in my DNA. Guess I enjoy being pleasantly surprised more than heartbroken and let down.

Lets hope, he has saved his time to shine so far!

Vegas is fast, plays fast, good systems. Hard working, they will try to pressure us into mistakes and giveaways. They do play a man on man in the D zone, so with our depth and talent we will get chances, obviously they have a hot clutch goalie as well though. I like our depth and talent more obviously, but the Sharks also had more talent and lost. I think our depth becomes even more key now. Can the Little and Lowry lines take it to the Vegas 3/4 lines and bottom D pair. I think so but we shall see

The beauty of playoffs is guys like him and Laine and anyone who really has not played great yet, can step up and have a big series with some big goals. And they will be remembered for that, not how they play in the previous series which we won

Don’t take the knights lightly. This will probably be tougher than one might expect.

Personally, I would love for us to be the team that brings the VGK dream season to a halt. I’m hoping we completely dominate them and bring it all crashing back down to earth. But I doubt it will go that way...

Gotta agree with you here. Sure Vegas may not have faced a team as strong as the Jets but let’s not discredit what that team has been able to do.

They’re a team with a relentless forecheck and back check. Loads of speed with a tireless work ethic and an elite netminder with his “A” game dialed in.

Bottom line is the Jets need to put more traffic in front of Fleury than they did Rinne. If he can see the puck he’ll stop it and even if he cannot see it, good chance he still stops it. Won’t be any Rinne like specials from Fleury.

 

[SavedByRoy]

Go Jets! I will be rooting for you guys, like I was last night.

I for one am not a fan of Vegas. I like seeing a team building with smart decisions and great drafts over years, and fans suffering through some tough times until they have robust, great team that can contend for years. Just like your Jets.

I was hopped on the bandwagon for the 2015 playoffs and first Jets 2.0 playoff experience. They weren't there yet in goal (Pav, lol) or top forward lines, but still had a lead in every game. What an improved team since that Anaheim series!

I would think the Canadian media would be all over the Jets - the most points of a Canadian team since 2011 Canucks, they have no Marchand/Wilson "villain" players, and they play an exciting kind of hockey. What's not to like?

 

[sipowicz]

This never gets old!

It was 105 F yesterday in Vegas but

 

[Afterburner]

I wonder if we could get Celine to sing Oh Canada and My Heart Will Go On for us in Vegas??

 

[BrokerD]

Why does Kypreos hate the Jets?

At this point I could care less. He adds very little to the convo.

I flip back and forth from CBC/NBC to avoid most of those morons on CBC. NBC has had much nicer things to say about our team anyway; and can pronounce our players correctly. I really enjoy Eddie O as well. I remember meeting him when I was a little kid.. very down to earth guy.

Is it Saturday yet?!?

 

[Pongs21]

So apparently we're too slow, too big, not enough skilled players, our depth doesn't even compete with theirs... I have no ****ing clue what team those other people were watching. Baseball perhaps.

 

[Jet]

He’s due!

I thought he started the playoffs really strong but then got knocked around pretty hard and that seemed to limit his effectiveness. Wonder if he was nursing something significant
