GDT: Game 72 - Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets - Friday, April 8th, 2022 - 7:00pm CDT - TSN3 - CJOB

If the Jets can lose enough down the stretch the #13 draft spot is still in play, and an outside chance at a top 3 pick.

Friday night games are usually good. I guess we'll see who is still playing, and who is packing it in. Hoping Dylan Samberg gets back into the lineup. Would like to see Kyle Connor get the hatty, to get closer to 50.

Embrace the tank!

Hmmmm...Blue Jay's home opener or Jets getting hammered? Decisions decisions.

Avs have first place locked up. Why go all out? They'll be playing to stay healthy for the playoffs. This is a perfectly winnable game for the Jets under the circumstances. Unless they do something dumb to get the Avs really pissed off. Then I can see their coach going...

yeah, classic late season situation right? If you're the Avs, why are you going to kill yourself trying to beat a nothing-burger like us? You've got playoffs to get ready for. Otoh, if you're the Jets you have the whole summer to rest up and maybe you're a little pissy about the way things have gone and want to try and go into golf season with a bit of positive energy so go out and have some fun and play all loose and pad your stats if you can.

Speaking of golf season, I suppose the Jets might also play to avoid injuries that could keep them off the links this summer.

Thanks Mac, nice GDT. My kid just finished Air Force boot camp out in Nova Scotia and he is coming home tonight. There is absolutely nothing this lacklustre hockey team can do to remove the smile from my face.

lol oh for sure - nobody is going to be going all that hard. It's really a question of who wants it the least.

Avalanche are probably gunning for the President’s trophy to secure home ice throughout the playoffs. Florida is still right there with them. Don’t see them taking the night off.

 

[WolfHouse]

Looks like Samberg is playing - hope he's back with Pionk

Not that I'm going to bother watching the game.... sigh.

Wheeler out tonight.

 

[DRW204]

Hopefully they put in a good effort tonight. They got trounced last game and allowed 13 GA in 2 gp against the Avs. They should be playing with some sort of pride at the very least.

 

[None]

Wheeler out tonight.

I wonder if it's a very recent thing or if he's dealt with it for a while? I'd be surprised if it wasn't recent given how much more active he's played in the last 15-20 games compared to the first ~50.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Wheeler out tonight.

DAMMIT! Now we have even less chance of making it!

 

[CorgisPer60]

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally. Didn't expect Samberg to be in the lineup tonight. Maybe there is a reason to watch the game then.

Might end up being 11f 7d if Harkins is also out. If that's the case Samberg probably gets 5 minutes

 

[Jets 31]

Wheeler out tonight.

Wonder why ?

I’ll root against the Jays by scoreboard watching and monitor the Jets on HF while doing more productive things this evening. Win-win!

[SensibleGuy]

Wonder why ?

I think he took a hit or something against detroit and looked like he was favoring a leg at one point...possibly that.

edit - according to Sara O it's upper body

edit again - the post above me already said that.

Nice to hear!

Wish we could put Ducky in!

 

[BrokerD]

His feelings were hurt?




Hoping for a fun run-and-gun game.
