GDT: Game 65 - Minnesota Wild @ Winnipeg Jets - Wednesday, March 8th, 2023 - 6:30pm - Sportsnet - CJOB/Power 97

We just need the same effort they put in on Monday, with even a little puck luck and we take it tonight. As been mentioned stay patient with the Wild's trapping. It will be a low event game.

hopefully hellebuyck can cover the puck. too soon too soon.

I just hope Hellebuyck can get back to his really play where he was in the Vezina conversation. He's been quite ordinary lately.

Wonder how long it will be before Doobie's nagging lower body issue morphs into day-to-day and beyond.

Agree, and now with slumping since January, we've lost the buffer to most likely let him rest a bit down the stretch if needed.

 

[Ossific]

Ugggghhhh

 

[MardyBum]

I thought for a sec Samberg and Capo would be third pair.

 

[Jets 31]

I thought for a sec Samberg and Capo would be third pair.

We needed Chevy to have traded Stanley and Schmidt then Samberg and Capo would be playing. Please play good Stanley and Schmidt that's all we ask.

Right. "Chevy's order" as though Bowness hasn't been rotating him in all on his own.

 

[TheJadePipe]

Omg nooooooo…
Stanley is clearly a step down!! Why is bones continually putting him in over Samberg

If we can actually have a decent PP that will help too . Move around a little tonight boys.

Agreed. This is the single most important thing we need for the stretch run.

 

[Jets 31]

Yup Helly and a decent PP and we are golden.

What exactly does this mean? I'm assuming you want to be above the line on all metrics shown?

Edit - I guess the ones "against" you'd want lower.

Jets 2.0 have never had an answer for the wilds trap.... i dont expect that to change tonight

Hoping 1-0 jets

You'd want them above. Flat would be no impact, below negative impact, above positive impact.

@WolfHouse, who do you have scoring the first goal of the game?

 

[WolfHouse]

No we won when they were our third pairing so no sense keeping that pairing together

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

how in f***ing hell is every game on sportsnet now?

 

[abax44]

You'd want them above. Flat would be no impact, below negative impact, above positive impact.

Even on the xGA/60?

Interesting.

Oh to be a fly on the dasher for that Samberg chat:

BONES: Okay, kid. You've played well. Maybe too well. The analytics, the old eye test. But we've asked you to hit that 6'7", and you're nowhere near. Heck, we'd even take 6'5" during a tough playoff stretch. Maybe even 6'4", and you fight.

SBERG: Okay, but I can't just...grow. What about my solid boxouts and smart counters, and my smooth transitional play? How bout those panic-free retrievals, among the best in the league?

BONES: Yeah, kid. You've played great. But not 6'7" great. 6'2". What the heck use is that? You can barely see over Colton Parayko. This team needs that eye in the sky if we're gonna get er done.

SBERG: I gotta say, I'm disappointed.

BONES: That's the good ol hockey game, kid. Squeaky wheel gets the icetime. Especially if that wheel is 6 foot --

SBERG: 7 inches. I know. Hey, Schmitty! Can you toss me my phone? It'll be my agent.

I just wonder when the last time taking Samberg out for Stanley won the Jets a game? Coach should be under some scrutiny if this decision fails.

Wild have 18 points in there last 10 games, Jets have 6, so it's a tale of two cities, and getting hot at the right time.

This is a game I wanted to attend, because it should be intense. We'll see how much fight is left in the dogs.

This is going to be an issue with Samberg soon. Anyone can see he's fully eclipsed Logan but I guess the org for whatever reason wants to keep Logan happy. He really should have been punted at the deadline.
