Winnipeg Jets vs. Chicago Blackhawks
The How the Jets spent their winter vacations edition!

HFBoards has acquired a digital camera belonging to beloved mascot Benny, who happened to join the Jets players on their vacations. Lets take a look...

JMO and Helle were All-Stars! But the jerseys were wack.

Nik wasn't invited to the All-Star game but he went to Florida anyway.

AJF, Spaghetti, and Snerg went for coffee with friends!

Scheif and his best buddy met their favourite celebrity!

Pierre-Luc did some work with his foundation.

You know where KFC went.

and Blake's family went to Disney World, but he stayed behind to ball with a friend.

Very good first GDT @hockeyarena . Holey shit there is a Jets game tonight, well it's so late it's almost tomorrow but yay a Jets game again. Ok Jets come out flying and take no prisoners.

 

[Jets 31]

Music for tonight It's about time our Jets are back.

 

[Jets 31]

Jets player goal song for tonight is fitting too, Samberg's goal song.

 

[SensibleGuy]

What is this strange thing of which we speak? A "game" "day???"

 

[AlphaLackey]

Awesome GDT; the incision.. err, inclusion, of Dr. Jay was epic. I saw that picture and I laughed even before I read it. The mark of a quality visual gag

Plus, oh yeah, nice to be playing again. Maybe once Timo Meier sees that we're still playing games, he'll come over for a spell.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Thank you @hockeyarena Wheezer ball had me laughing hard!

Hope everyone used there time off well…

Great Job on the GDT @hockeyarena !

It's been awhile since we had a game to watch.

Not only did the schedule maker screw us with a 9pm start, but, the Hawks have already played 2 games!

Hope the Jets can survive the 1st period and find their legs cause we need this win.

 

[macmaroon]

Bravo @hockeyarena, that was one fantastic GDT! Yeah, I have to agree, including Dr. Jay with Wheeler was le pièce de résistance! Let's hope the Jets can come out and beat the Hackcoughs handily tonight and that I can stay awake... Here's hoping...

A little music to get us going...



Go Jets Go!

Yup, Hawks played last night went into over time and then had to fly in, meanwhile the Jets have been applying aloe to their tans. If we can get thru the first period we'll hopefully pulls this one out.

Jesus...a bottom feeder that played an OT game last night and then flew in to face us in our barn??? We are well and truly toast.

Like Hopefully the Jets kick ass like Optimus but but don’t die later on.

Really nice to se the Wild and the Avalanche kept losing while Jets were laying it up! Very healthy in comfy second place!

So much panic that the Jets would be in wild card spots after the break without realizing that the other teams chasing actually have to win their games as well.

 

[John Agar]

Some musings on this soon to be over HFJets pause...

Who gets paid to make the Jets schedule FFS... ?

Now 30 games in 62 days... ?

WTF...

 

[surixon]

So much panic that the Jets would be in wild card spots after the break without realizing that the other teams chasing actually have to win their games as well.

Exactly, all teams go on streaks good and bad.

Finally the Jets are back in action. They just need to take care of business the last 30 games.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks Dr evil

Mini me would be proud of you ……

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

A big win on Saturday in the wee hours of the night and a Tampa shit kicking of the Stars and all will be right in the world.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thank you @hockeyarena Wheezer ball had me laughing hard!

I see you need more dancing lessons from Dancing Gabe……..

 

[Jets 31]

Jets are winning big tonight, book it. They will take anything Chicago throws at us and return the favor.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

For the first time (with fans), the Jets play a 9pm home game. Jets After Dark.

There was originally supposed to be a 9pm home game during the 2012-13 season, but the lockout scrapped that original schedule (remember that the Jets would only play Eastern Conference opponents in that shortened season).

From Illegal Curve's Dave:

Skate news:

As per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets the game tonight will indeed see the return of Mason Appleton to the lineup. He provides the lines and D pairs below. Also he noted that Dylan DeMelo skated in a non-contact uniform while David Gustafsson skated on his own before morning skate.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Connor-Dubois-Perfetti
Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Barron-Lowry-Kuhlman
Maenalanen-Stenlund-Appleton

Morrissey-Pionk
Dillon-Samberg
Stanley-Schmidt

Hellebuyck
Rittich

Was waiting to see what roster moves are made to get Appleton in the lineup. With De Melo in a non contact, pretty sure he will get placed on IR sometime today, not sure how far back you can go on retro IR.
