Post-Game Talk: CAPS 4 jets 1

[sipowicz]

At the Legion... drinking Irish Whiskey...

Couldn't really watch the game...

The Jets had a great run to this point... things look good... much better than last year...

Talk to you after the Christmas break...

I'll pray for you all... especially Sip'...

Love you all... be good...

Thanks, but the question is are you drinking Catholic or Protestant Irish Whiskey?

 

[DRW204]

preying perfetti is a minor ailment.

Yeah hopefully.
If he's back next week, you only have a couple weeks before ehlers, Appleton then wheeler come back. They're still comfortably in a PO spot. These were tough L's but the team has bounced back this year more times than not.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I do miss Laine. He would instantly make our Jets score a whole lot more.

Our Jets, I thought you were a philly’s fan?

It's six. Backstrom, Wilson, Oshie, Fehervary, Brown, Hagelin, all regulars.

And Jets are missing 7 regulars.

Jameson's...

My heritage is Protestant from Ireland...

My palette is Catholic apparently...

Though I know the Bushmills vs Jameson's is a tangled web and isn't straight forward...

I just like good Whiskey and Jameson's is a weakness of mine... also...

I'm a Prairie Boy...

I identify as Western Canadian...

Or otherwise Not/Them...

 

[sipowicz]

This is what happens when you cram so many games in such a small period and have 2 teams play a b2b with travel.

The NHL doesnt have a clue. I've seen better Jr b games

Not just that, a west coast swing followed by an east coast swing, anyone still think the NHL gives two hoots about the Jets!?

Good answer!

the Kirkland Irish is pretty good, triple distilled and supposedly from Bushmills!

I kind of like MacGregors Proper 12, a little watery but smooth

what's even more weird is we had to play the first b2b vs cancuks/kraken 22 hours apart

TSN barely gives 2 shits about the Jets.

4 of them don't even have profile pictures . They've got 4 regulars out, the Jets have 6. Even if you include Connor Brown for the Caps, it's not close to "way more" as you said.

I'm glad the Caps didn't have Joe Snively Whiplash in their lineup tonight, we would have really gotten railroaded.

 

[tbcwpg]

It's six. Backstrom, Wilson, Oshie, Fehervary, Brown, Hagelin, all regulars.

Well I'm not sure how impactful Fehevary is but for the guy to say the Caps have "way more" injuries than the Jets is false.

 

[macmaroon]

The Prediction Contest has now been posted for the game against the Wild with an updated leaderboard...

Yes indeed, it has happened again x 2! Congratulations to both @Grannyjetfan and @Thechozen1 who are the latest HFJets posters to get the winning team, correct score, and player who scored the game opener for the trifecta and eight points! Way to go!

Don't forget to sign up for a GDT! There are plenty of games still available, including the one against Minnesota...

 

[None]

Well I'm not sure how impactful Fehevary is but for the guy to say the Caps have "way more" injuries than the Jets is false.

They have more man games lost but overall impact is within 10-15% of the Jets injuries apparently (based on Man-Games Lost's points in standings metric).

Similar enough injury impact that I'd just call it a wash and probably not an excuse for either team.

 

[ThinIce61]

So what is your estimate on the cost to acquire Garland?

It's fairly cheap at WalMart and in multiple colors.

Has Laine even scored since his team played the Jets 2-3 weeks ago?

Maybe in the bedroom.

 

[DRW204]

The dick measuring contest of who is more injured is hilarious as if that's a great thing for your team.

[jungles]

Have the Jets beat a good team this December?

 

[bustamente]

Injuries effect team differently, some teams have players they can slot into the lineup and still compete, the Jets resorted to waiver wire pick ups and players from the AHL who would of never been called up otherwise.

 

[snowkiddin]

Way too many injuries, bad reffing, and a shitass schedule. Not surprising we’ve fallen off lately. We desperately need our wounded back.

 

[tbcwpg]

It's not an excuse for either team. It also shouldn't be a criticism of the Jets that the other team is somehow way more injured so whyd the Jets lose, when that's untrue.

 

[raideralex99]

Agreed we need forward help. And many are advocating a trade, so who do people see as options? Teams will want to unload salary on us and steal from our future. So what are Chevy's options?

It’s too early to make a trade unless you are getting someone for nothing. If Hellebuyck goes down or there’s more injuries you wasted a trade. Jets will be fine and they should make the playoffs unless they get more major injuries.

Nice to get a break and regroup for the Jets and our board.

All the best kids, Hope everyone spends some time with friends and family if they can.

In my previous life I moved all the time, worked in the industry where we only took Christmas Day off. I never lived close to family so I improvised and the entire holiday season boiled down to one day with coworkers and Christmas dinner and I always thought it was fun.

Hope you folks find piece and a little bit of happiness if you can.

I think it's safe to say that Blake Wheeler is the most injured. I just hope he has the testicular fortitude to come back and play balls to the wall like was before his injury.

 

[winnipegger]

Remember everyone. You can expect 10% of the games to be terrible in any given year. Jets have a winning record still. Ovechkin still looks like a pug dog with a drinking problem. Good player though.

 

[The don godfather]

Bruins fan here just wanted to say that was a class act by the jets for handshakes with ovi. I tip my hat. Well done.

 

[DannyGallivan]

I know it's a sensitive topic in a market with a strong Ukrainian community but any politics posts will end up with warnings and/or thread bans. This is not the place.

If you can't talk about Ovechkin without resorting to discussing the invasion then just don't post about him.

Or don’t post about him anyways… go to the Capital forum if you feel compelled to mention that name. This is the Jets forum.
