One of those games where the Jets couldn't accomplish much even though they had some real great looks. Didn't look to interested in the game for the most part. Helle let in some stinkers but also made some really nice saves. Vancouver really wanted the win and needed it and frankly deserved the 2 points. Sad for the Jets fans in attendance.

After taking a nap after work, I stayed up to watch the entire game. Mistake. On to the next one. I give this game two "X-Files" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Coilers has been posted for your guesses. The game against Edmonton is available should you choose to make a GDT, I would appreciate it. See you Thursday! Good night...

I watched the game till 5-2, then stopped to catch up on some other life busywork. Normally I always feel like the Jets can pull off a comeback but wasn't feeling it tonight.

Van is gunning for their playoff lives, Jets weren't nearly so motivated. Well earned loss.

One positive take-away from the partial game I watched though is the 2nd line looks playoff ready. They're really gelling and I'm not worried about Perfetti in the post season, as I was a year ago. I am really excited to see what that line can do come playoffs, when there was every reason to be pessimistic not too long ago (Perfetti being too young/small/soft, Vlad not being a true 2C, Ehlers not being a playoff performer). Thinking that might be different this year.
 
Thoughts...

Glad no one got seriously injured in what turned out to be a bumpy night.

Second, hope the boys had a good time in their trip to Vancouver. Easy to do.

Third, the coaches knew the Canucks would be hungry going on the road for 6 after this. They all said it. Still the Canucks seemed hungrier for the W.

Fourth, the loss of Neal Pionk weakens the Jets defense, showed up in this game.

Fifth, thank you coach for promoting your hard working 4th line wingers . Got you a goal. I don't know how many times I single out Appleton as making the wrong play in a game. With the game close he had a good opportunity to block a shot and the skate through is not playoff hockey.
Wonder if these changes stick.

#6 off night for Helly, should mean a good bounce back.

#7 PP was too cute. Did they get a shot on first 2 PPs

#8 PK is starting to slump...thoughts?

#9 Love the way Ehlers and his line played tonight. Ehlers cutting into the middle against a softer defense is something I hope to see more of. Perfetti sure put the moves on Forbort out there.

#10 Glad that Lowry was on the ice when Morrissey stepped up for the big hit, saved the game from a donnybrook.

#11 I don't mind the idea of 6 Canadian teams making the playoffs. Especially this year.

#12 Whoever is tracking shots on TSN is drinking on the job I think

#13 On to the next one.
