Post-Game Talk: ALL ABOARD THE PLAYOFF BUS!!! Jets 3 - Wild 1

Jets are living rent free in the heads of Wild fans, they have been whining and bitching about the Jets all season long.

 

[Potential]

The Jets should "never" trade away Brendan Dillon or Lowry. These are 2 big tough guys. and if you don't have guys like that, you'll get pushed around and intimidated. Both guys stood up for the other players tonight. Great now, we're in the playoffs.

I wish Dillon would do so more - we let way too much of that go on our stars. If the refs aren't going to do their job to protect the players, then we have to do it ourselves.

 

[bustamente]

Watch the league punk us and assign this two incompetent refs for our first playoff game.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Ok. $64,000 Question. Who or what....pulled the switch, resulting in a earned playoff berth?

The whole team..

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Interesting that the worst reffed games I've watched this year have basically all been in the NHL when I've watched so much low-level hockey this year.

There's been a couple MJ games that I had major issues with this season (Refs set a loose standard for hitting from behind, and it gets out of hand), but nothing nearly as dangerous as what went down tonight.

I assume this is because either reffing NHL games is way harder, or NHL referees are more cowardly than junior, or Junior referees have more license to protect players.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

No. I'm saying that there are 2 versions of this team and I'm not sure which one shows up, I think they could do damage if the right version shows up but if that version doesn't show up, they will be gone. All I'm really saying is I don't know which Jets team will show up.

Who is ready for some playoffs ... the white out has arrived.

LOOOOL THE TIMBERWOLVES LOSE AS WELL AFTER BEING UP BIG!

f***ing hilarious game.

I like that he picks his spots but I would like to see him lay some big hits more often

 

[Puckatron 3000]

All 5’10” of him.

Well, I'm 5'10, and I could probably take Bowness.

You are insulting about half the people on this forum tho - be a nicer celebration if you weren't doing that. Making fun of people's height/weight/whatever physical attribute usually has a lot of collatoral damage to everyone else who matches that description.

Playoffs baby, here we come.

True, but Reaves is in a cage all by himself.
Sorry, a class all by himself.

I would say Lucic is pretty close 2nd.

Reaves is a better skater, I'd say he's the best pound for pound hitter in the NHL now with Buff retired. Evason let him go over the edge tonight, I'm just glad that a veteran coach like Bowness called Lowry out to end the nonsense, when the refs played to the crowd.

I doubt these two teams meet again until next season, and it's going to continue to be a bad blood rivalry as long as Evason is coaching the Wild. Even before him there was bad blood. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Guerin brought Reaves back for another year. The Wild aren't as tough without him.

I'll be surprised if the Wild get out of the 1st round though, if this game was a playoff preview.

LOOOOL THE TIMBERWOLVES LOSE AS WELL AFTER BEING UP BIG!

f***ing hilarious game.

I was hoping Lakers would lose but it is a bit funny that it's another Minnesota team

 

[tbcwpg]

LOOOOL THE TIMBERWOLVES LOSE AS WELL AFTER BEING UP BIG!

f***ing hilarious game.

Both teams did what they could to lose. The Timberwolves collapse was funny but the funniest moment of the game was AD's ridiculous decision to foul Conley at the end of regulation.

Good game by the Jets compared to their usual over the past couple of months but Hellebuyck dragged the team into the playoffs tonight so he doesn't have to play on Thursday. This was an L with Rittich in goal.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Sorry I doubted you Jets. Now make some noise in the playoffs!

Oh and please…not Vegas! I still have ptsd from the WCF. Maybe another sweep of the Oilers?

 

[Frendlygiant]

Man all this needs is the breaking glass and Steve Auston soundtrack.

"LURCH 3:16 SAYS I JUST KICKED YOUR ASS!"

SAWYER, "bah gawd! BAH GAWD! HE JUST RIPPED REAVES IN HALF!"

 

[ps241]

I have no issue with Pionk going after one of their star players.

That is, and I've always believed this, the only way you stop a team from going after your stars. Going after the guy who is doing the gooning does absolutely nothing.

100% this ^

The goon is the distraction you leave alone you absolutely retaliate against one of their best small players. I have no issue with Lowry answering the bell with the goon but that is playing into their hands. Hartman’s cheap shot on our small skilled player begets a cheap shot back on one of their small skilled players. That is an eye for an eye. That is how you send the message that you don’t target our little guys.

 

[Duke749]

Just finished the game. f*** the Mild and their cavemen mentality. Why the f*** is Reaves even in the league anymore? Oh! I know! Because half the coaches are from a meat head era and can’t let go of the past! Hartman gets 2, Reaves gets nothing, and Pionk gets 5. Yeh, that doesn’t look like fixing or anything.

 

[Jets 31]

Hartman has no heart , he, Reeves and the Minnesota coach can all f*** right off . Great game by Helly and our 3rd line again and now we boogie-woogie right into the playoffs.

Not bad eh? Must have been a pleasant moment when checking the score.

Swing that tool belt!

 

[King Woodballs]

Crazy to see the jets have one less point than the Lightning do.
Playoffs should be pretty good.

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

The boys should feel good about winning our way in

I also enjoyed Dillon rag dolling Hartman. Too bad he laid up with class in the end.
