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

[Ducky10]

Different scenarios as that hit took place in the playoffs and Evans had to be stretchered off

Which is what player safety in the NHL is all about, degrees of injury or perceived injury. You can’t set a standard or set of rules on a floating scale of consequences. Illegal and predatory hits need to be severely punished regardless of whether someone is injured or not. It’s part of the reason players flop around like someone shot them, it guarantees a harsher punishment. If Evans had popped back up and kept playing, no way Scheifele gets 4 games, and that in itself is wrong if you believe what he did warranted a suspension.
The NHL DOPS is a complete clown show.

Good take by knuckles Nilan. Evason was a complete clown sending Reaves on.

Unbelievable, man i miss Buff so much, to see Buff light up Hartman with a good clean hit would be priceless.

Seeing Buff absolutely BLOW UP some schmuck warms my heart.

Switch engaged!

Apparently Carbonite causes shrinkage...

Compare the switch to the rest of the body. If that's the "after shrinkage" photo, I'd hate to encounter the before version. Classic too much of a good thing.

Man...this is going to be a tough first round. It really would have been nice not to have dropped to a WC spot in the second half of the season.

I honestly don’t think there is an easy opponent in the playoffs so why not go at the best right off the bat.

And that's exactly why smoke should have went down like he was shot last night, despite the fact that I hate it

Opponent is either Vegas or Edmonton, I expect it to start early next week.

Jets home game on Friday or Saturday. Saturday might be an afternoon game. SN won't want it in prime time unless the Jets play Edmonton.

In 2010 it was 1 million per playoff game.

Chipman doesn't get all the gate revenue but that $1 million is only 66 dollars per seat.

Congrats to the Jets for getting it done in the last 5 games. I would have lost my shit if they choked so it’s only fair that I give it up for them flicking a switch of some sort. They have looked really solid over the last 5 games or so.

Looking forward to attending the white out!!

Let’s go boys its a new season!!

That was the number I heard before the Jets came back for how much a playoff game was worth to a franchise.

And if you beat a top seed in the first round? The only thing people fear more than a giant is a giant-slayer.

 

[Avocado Coolranch]

The voiceover for the exchange between the coaches was hilarious. Names laughing at bowness too

 

[raideralex99]

Hartman suspended 1 game for actions in Wild game

 

[Carl Hungus]

I'm not a fan of either team. However, if the hit from Reaves on Demelo is so bad, how come I just went through 14 pages here and no one has posted it? I want to see what the Jets are referring to as the cause of all of the excitement in this game. I would also like to see the hit by Ehlers on Kaprizov. As an impartial observer, it is hard to assess this situation without any video.

As another impartial observer, that hit on Ehlers is absolute trash and is reason enough for everything that came next. I watched the game and Min had a handful of dirty plays throughout. Including an obvious board from Reaves, along with another dirtbag play later in the game. The only cheap shot from the Jets all game was the crosscheck at the end, when I assume they'd had enough of the BS.

Min fans are being absolutely delusional here

It's like a brick!




Guess that's why he's called...

Hand Solo!

I know it's Han

I'll left myself out.

From now on, everything is possible. Let's get it done!

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Fabulous story, thanks. I hope the bar staff recognized that you probably doubled their sales for that evening.

Thanks! For sure, putting on the game was like a bat signal to hockey fans. Who tend to know how to throw em back.

The NHL DOPS is a complete clown show.

See which, the Boston / StL cup final years before, where Krug and Thomas get tied up, and Krug chases DIRECTLY after him the whole length of the ice and ignores the puck at all times just to play Thomas out.

Thomas would even miss the rest of the series, but because he got up at the time and played a bit more? Not even a minor penalty.

DOPS is a f***ing joke now.

Even Boston is back to zero when the playoffs start.
