Pre-Game Talk: Wild vs Jets Feb 10 7:00pm

[ICdave]

Coach Maurice scrum: Update on players missing. Has Little regressed in any way? Anything new on Matt Halischuk? Did last night win put an end to post All-Star game lull? Importance of game against Minnesota. On players (Galiardi) finding second opportunities. Talking specifically about Galiardi. On Galiardi finding a role in Winnipeg. Overloading talent on lines. On what Chris Thorburn and Jim Slater bring to the team. Managing Bogosian’s emotions.

Dubynk had a .920 save percentage one year with the Oilers, I believe. He's never been a terrible goaltender, just got a bad rap being with a terrible defensive team and probably shook confidence.

 

[JC Numminen]

Big game here, can really take a bite out of the Wilds playoff chances with a W.

Assuming Hutch gets the start?

 

[pateramus]

Never thought in a million years I would say this, but I hope we don't get Dubnyk.

streaks are made to be broken. I'm fine with either goalie in net. For Minny that is

Why does everyone else always have games in hand on us? Most of this year the Jets have lead the NHL in games played and the same was largely true last year. It's weird.

??

 

[mzappa]

Must win? The real test?

GO JETS GO!

ps - yes, guess the Jets are the games-played leader in the NHL. wonder when the schedule will even out. I sure don't like all those games in had the Wild and others have.

The Wild are tied with us in points - if they were to win their 4 games in hand. It starts tonight and we need this win big time. Can't have our winning streak stopped at 1.

They still have to play those games, AND win all of 'em. I agree with the whole beating them in this upcoming game thing though.

Man, our ROW is pretty depressing lol.

Man, our ROW is pretty depressing lol.

ROW only matters if 2 teams are tied in points.

 

[wpgsilver]

Must win. Go Jerts.

 

[GJF]

fixed

ROW only matters if 2 teams are tied in points.

I know that... Just saying it would be nice to see it a bit higher.

 

[Aavco Cup]

I know that... Just saying it would be nice to see it a bit higher.

As long as it adds up to 94 points or whatever it's gonna take to get a playoff spot, it doesn't matter to me if we win all the rest in shootouts.

That's what I said, but in a more provocative manner. I am attempting to whip everyone up into a frenzy of fear and excitement. Your way keeps everyone just a bit too calm.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Side note: Is Buff more chatty and friendly with the officials the past few games or has he always been this way. Lately they show him yukking it up the ref/linesman and both of them laughing, quite a few times per game.

He seems to have a really good relationship with them.

I think of that gif of him shaking his head with "that's a bad call, man" and he even seemed to be half-smiling at that time. Someone needs to repost that gif to see if I'm out to lunch.

I screen-shot that and examined it for photochops.

Ohh sheeeet, a photochop session of the Wild logo and noone PM'd me!!!??!!

 

[flyingkiwi]

Really hating their games in hand, we need all the points we can get. Time to get things going our way again.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Enough Dubnyk talk, lets talk about the Jets goalie. Thoughts on who will go in net? Hutchinson has 2 wins against them and they were back to back. Pavlec did start against them in the first game vs Wild back in November, was pulled Hutch replaced him only letting in one goal but still taking the L. So go with Hutch as he sports the better track record? Thoughts?

 

[Derfel*]

Hutch should get the start. Long live the rotation!
