It's hard to project a lot of metrics from regular season to playoff hockey. The Jets have a really good goalie and a lot of talent. That's a good start.

Ok so bizzaro world begins today. I have “ZERO” idea what is going to happen

I could see us sweeping.......getting swept....and everything in between.

We have possibly the best goalie in hockey ( hope he plays that way) and definitely the worst 2nd line center in the playoffs.

Welcome to the Thunerdome.......two teams enter, one team leaves.

Alright, here we go!
It would suck to wait this long and lose in 3 so hopefully we don't get swept
GJG!

So it starts today?! Oh man I’ve been mostly out of the loop. I also didn’t want to get myself all wound up but oh man shit gets real today huh? Idk if my emotions can handle this honestly. Lol

One thing I know for sure, nobody's getting swept tonight! Try to win every shift, we win. Go Jets Go!

Goaltending is everything in the playoffs and we have one of the best , i wouldn't feel very confident about winning games if we had Talbot in net .

the Jets serve up pizzas in their own zone and advanced stats make the Jets look like a crappy team. That's a good continuation

 

[Eyeseeing]

Let my people go.

We can thank Atlanta for both teams in tonight's game. Should be a barnburner.

I think Glendale city council deserves a lot of credit for this matchup.

Jets were such a mess from an analytics point of view this year that of course the Flames are ahead in most metrics. the playoffs are a different ball game though and we shall see if being healthy and playing more aggressively through the NZ will pay off.

I was getting some of the 2017 Penguins vibes watching the systems we played in the exhibition game. Imo this is the way we have to play with are below average dcore and high octane forwards.

Anyhow I am quite excited for this to get up and running tomorrow.

Jets are among the teams with scoring and goaltending skill that overcomes deficits in shot metrics. When they fix their problems on D that can prevent high danger shots against, and generate more, they would be very tough to beat.

Agreed. I'm not too concerned.

How r u feeling about the "Not too concerned emotion" now?
Day after game 1 and Flames built momentum. If CGY continues in the same vain, and a couple of Wpgs top-guns don't finish on chances or, like KC about 4 times broke to the net turned away and no play completed! Just shoot and at least better your chance to score!!
Cgy definitely started to get to Helle and if they bring it they way they did half ofGame1, without Scheifele and Laine, Jets are against the big wall with mole hill supplies!

Jets were the better team at 5 on 5, we need to sort out our special teams quickly though.

I'll wait to see how they perform next game but they will need to be better at converting their chances.
