Oh my I have the vapours

 

[AlphaLackey]

Central now sucks. I'm not complaining

It's weird isn't it? They all just.. started falling apart behind us. Really now, only Winnipeg and Nashville are in that upper echelon, and the rest are in that big melee for the #3 and WC spots.

 

[KingBogo]

Good gracious Ignatius, remember when we were in a three-way race with Nashville and Colorado? We're now FOURTEEN points ahead of the wild card line!

Looks like 16 to me

Edit: Sorry I read it as the playoff line.

Yeah no worries we're 16 points up on that line too. I'm shocked at what it feels like to START the season with expectations and have them mostly fulfilled and EVEN THEN still see room for refinement in the last 30 games.

Holy **** Tanev is such a warrior

I really feel like he's started to show more and more skill in his game this year as well. He's no Jim Slater.

Jimmy Slater's greatest moment:



Beauty setup on that one, BTW - Wheels showing what he could become.

Right. If he doesn't have that skill, then they really don't HAVE to take a penalty to haul him down. But if he's a threat with the puck, even if not as a scorer but as a possession machine, it's gonna draw the penalty.

Just got home, what a game! I love this team, so much fun to watch.

A two/five comeback Dostoevsky win. One for the first period.

HF Jets when no Torts freakout:

I thought Torts was gonna flip. Must have smoked up before the presser and mellowed out

Naw, CBJ played a hard game. He can't be that angry with that effort.

He's always angry

 

[Atoyot]

Naw, CBJ played a hard game. He can't be that angry with that effort.

Honestly that is a team with great sticks. Always seemed to be in our lanes.

 

[bennylundholm]

I'd love to get Mark Stone before the deadline. I could envision:
Ehlers Scheifele Wheeler
Connor Copp Laine
Perreault Little Stone
Lemieux Lowry Tanev
Roslovic, Appleton

Err, second line Copp over Roslo being in the line up at all?

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

great victory......very sweet..

for some reason thinking either Mika Zibinejad or Brayden Schenn could really help us..

 

[Derfel]

He's always angry

No - sometimes he's just annoyed.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I liked the aggressive forecheck. Figure if you do that, then you give up more off the rush, but the Jackets seemed to avoid that.

 

[Saintb]

the Jets are getting their swagger back.

 

[Afterburner]

No - sometimes he's just annoyed.

Sometimes? The guy has Hulk rage

 

[kanadalainen]

Nice to see Rosie get the nice goal in the third. CBJ are not an easy team to score PP goals on.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Also MAN are Jackets fans salty about that whistle.

Maybe don't knock the stick out of Tanev's hands in a blatant missed slashing call, and the whistle stays in the ref's pocket



Puck don't lie.

 

[bennylundholm]

Err, second line Copp over Roslo being in the line up at all?

As slick offensively as Roslo is, I believe Copp is far more reliable defensively. If you watch Copp almost every shift he is extremely effective in his own end and I believe would be someone Maurice would trust over Roslo.
