Series Discussion: Winnipeg Jets vs Calgary Flames

[raideralex99]

Sorry boyz, don't share the enthusiasm, no hockey played for 2 months now, boys will need a couple weeks to get back in game shape, first round in mid June, second round end of June and then into July, kinda hard to get too enthused at this point, I for one won't be sitting inside watching hockey in our very short summer!

Short summer?
What you never heard of global warming ... no more winters.

Sip doesn't watch hockey, he listens to it on his Realistic transistor radio

No, he hears the results from a friend who was at the arena.

We have a rule, no TV at the lake in the summer, so weekend games are out for me.

Can’t have too fun now, can we? I also tried it once, it was awful and I hated it

 

[ERYX]

With injuries/rest a non factor, and lots of rust all around, I think goaltending will be even more important than usual. Rittich is good but Hellebuyck is better. Also, Schief and Wheels being well rested will neutralize the negatives of their overuse so I think that bodes well for us also.

It will be a tough, tight series, but I think Jets win in 4 or 5 games.

You guys are gonna love summer hockey.

Nope lots of fun, fishing, waterskiing/wakeboarding etc, evenings spent drinking around a fire with neighbors, that’s summer in Manitoba for me.

 

[Jet]

So pumped - a pretty solid format but they absolutely have to reseed after the play in. No way a team like Montreal should play team 4 if they beat the pens.

I'll be watching every second.

Would be great to get an update on Little...

I would love Little back but i was really starting to like Eakin's game, i would have Eakin our 2nd center at least to start the playoffs . Helly will be the difference for us in every series the Jets play because goaltending is the most important position in hockey.

 

[Jets 31]

Also we have a pretty good coach........ let the yelling at me start.

 

[Gotaf7]

I thought Maurice made a statement a while back that Little would be available if play resumed.

 

[Jets 31]

Can't wait to be able to use this gif again.

 

[Jets 31]

Would've rathered seen the Flames play the Oilers.

I want to see the Jets knock out Calgary then kick the shit out of the Oilers .

 

[puck stoppa]

Jets lines?
Connor Scheif Wheels
Ehlers Eakin Laine
Copp Lowry Perreault
Harkins/Apples Little Roslo

Jmo Demelo
Kulikov Pionk
Beaulieu Poolman

Helly

That’s a solid roster up and down. No worries about road matchups.
Next year add Heinola, Samberg, Gus, KVes to this group and we’re looking good for years to come!

I think they play the Blues if the beat the Flames.
I would like to see them play Vegas.

 

[puck stoppa]

Could you imagine if the jets actually won the cup......with no fans or games in Winnipeg

 

[rubikscube]

Flames I fear:
Tkatchuk
Gaudreau
Actually Lucic come playoff time. Guy could truck people out there if he's on.
Gio

Do not fear at all:
Rittich/Talbot

Flames should fear:
HELLE

Scheif
Connor
Laine
Wheeler

This should be a good series

I agree with you on Eakin and I would like to see Little on the wing with Copp and Lowry. I think they could shut down any top line in the league.

Damn I want hockey back. I messaged my brother at the end of March that the best part about the shutdown could be watching playoff hockey on his deck in July.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Very hard to predict any series because of rust factors. There may be a lot of rusty players being injured.

But - If Jets can pick up where they left off only healthier, they should take Flames in 3 games.

I think the play in teams will be in a better position because they will be playing meaningful hockey.

 

[Romang67]

Goaltending will be interesting to watch in these playoffs, as will the performance of certain players who tend to be slow starters. If we can get past Calgary, I feel like the fact that Scheifele and Wheeler should be rested coming into this will be good.

Well, the others will have seeding as a prize. Lacks the same urgency though. I agree, the play-in teams will get a bit of an advantage. I'm concerned with injuries though. Hard to say if that will be a problem or not. Going full out when a little out of shape could be risky.

Mel Brooks looks like Bettman, lol

Hey Calgary......

I'd find a way to live with it. Probably also save ST holders $5,000 - $10,000 each.
