Clearly the Jets are worried about this one. Sending out their big guns, unlike everybody else.

Don't think you have much to worry about. Well, maybe other than the last 10 minutes of the game. But by then I expect the Jets have put the game already in their pockets.

Dang, I was hoping we'd get Eric Comrie tonight.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Having watched a lot of Jets games the last few years (Hellebuyck has been my favorite active goalie since he came into the league), my biggest hope is that the Jets occasionally have "brain fart" games against lesser opponents.

What's in the box of chocolates tonight?

 

[Fuhrious]

I predict that they have absolutely zero answers for Connor-Scheifele-Villardi and stand around watching while the above score 3-5 goals.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Let's f***ing go nuts - two goals tonight from Oleksiak, one goal from Schwartz, and an empty-netter by Joey F. Daccord for the 4-2 victory over a stunned crowd at the Canada Life Centre.

Dude. It’s why hockey is so great. It’s the ultimate team game, and depending on the night the worst team can beat the best. Parity is what makes the league great.

I have def got to get to Seattle for a game. The atmosphere there looks electric, the arena looks amazing and the fans are amazing!

Plus - jerseys are sick.

Anyways. Goodluck tonite, hope it’s a fun game!

He’ll be knackered, that Dack-erd.

I fully expect the Kraken to come out flying and dominate the warmups.

 

[Fuhrious]

Ok start so far, Jets marking aggressively so Kraken feel a bit chaotic but still managing some decent chances

PP felt especially chaotic imo but a couple decent shots at least

 

[Fuhrious]

Really nice touch by Kakko on that flip pass by Schwartz

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Benny ! (And the Jets?)

 

[Fuhrious]

Schwartz-Beniers-Kakko look great so far

*McCann mishandles the puck twice trying to cross the blue line, then just falls down*

What the hell happened to him?

 

[Fuhrious]

Dack-erd seems up for it tonight

 

[Fuhrious]

Evans closes down Perfetti 1-on-1 perfectly and then gives him a little shove to the ice after.

Yeeeeeesssssssssss

 

[Kevinsane]

This team. No faulting the effort so far, but man, where would they be in the standings if they played like this more consistently?

 

[Carbooja]

Benny ! (And the Jets?)

Benny (Winnipeg Jets)

Benny was the mascot of the original Winnipeg Jets, and today is the secondary mascot of the current incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets. He was named in honour of both Ben Hatskin, the first owner of the Jets, and Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets." He wore a B on the front of his jersey, in the...

That’s for sure.

 

[Fuhrious]

Ok…I’m not counting any chickens…but that was an entertaining period at least?

At the end of the day that’s why we watch (I’d presume). Well played hockey is entertaining. That was a more riveting twenty minutes than I expected, to be honest.

 

[Fuhrious]

Oh sure, I guess more to imply that I’m very aware they could come out and play like cats on skates for the next two periods and it wouldn’t exactly surprise me either.
