Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest before the puck drops or before we figure out what exactly Trump's plan is, whichever comes first...

Dam some pretty darn low expectations of these Jets tonight.
You guys know we still have a 4 point lead in the West and are 1st overall right? lol
I’ll agree the eye ball test is suffering lately and they have got to get there shit together.
I like to think it starts tonight!

This is seriously misleading. They have a game in hand, and play Nashville tonight. And we gotta play Vegas who we almost never beat.

Misleading? Oh whine me a river.

 

[AnonoJet]

Hopefully Stanley learnt from his mistake last game....

Ya, just like he learned from the countless other ones

Misleading? Oh whine me a river.

No problem

I wish we would have played them with our best possible lineup including Bucky and given ourselves our best chance. Seems more often than not we play them with our backup or on second of back to back and wonder why our record against these douchebags is bad.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Ehlers back with fetts and names makes me happy, I was literally thinking about it late last night and I was gonna be all pissy if they didn't make that change

I'm not sure that taking 1st in the division and going into round 1 with a tired Helle is better or worse than finishing 2nd and having him well rested

 

[Jets 31]

Hey just over 4 hours until game time, i hate these late games....

 

[Do or Die]

But is he 6' 7"?

If he was......he would be a lifer.

Maybe don’t the same exactly thing, going into the playoffs, as last year with Hellsboi .

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

looks like fraggle rock, but without the dog.

Go Jets Go! -

WE ARE THE MEASURING STICK THAT KNOCKS!!!

 

[voyageur]

So it seems like Arniel gave up on his line 2 and 3 winger swap.

Hopefully the third line gets it going

Also sounds like the PP got an overhaul too, with Perfetti on the top unit, and Scheifele playing the inside bumper position vacated by Valardi's injuries. Jets have to find a way to get things working again with limited resources to choose from.

I believe it is when you end up playing Colorado, instead of Minnesota!!

 

[Blasto]

Please be a sign of a KFC hat trick....

I

Maybe the fact that in the regular season the Jets are 0-8 vs Vegas over the last 3 seasons... and 0-2 this season

And if we include the playoffs over the last 3 seasons... Jets are 1-12

Thanks for doing the math. I knew it was really ugly but it’s hilarious how much these guys have owned us.

Common boys let’s make it 2-12 We are beyond overdue.

 

[ps241]

Gonna find out if the Jets are gearing up for a playoff run or getting ready for golf season!?

Last season didn’t we win the last 8 in a row (gearing up) for the playoffs just to get crushed in the first round? I’m not sure this final stretch says anything about being ready for game 83.

Interesting. Hard to keep your hottest player off of the 1st unit. I was interested to see how they'd do it, moving Mark to the bumper could work. I wonder who between him and Fly gwt the hb slot.

You are correct regarding last year. The Jets were literally firing on all cylinders, except for a terrible PP, heading into last years playoffs. 8 wins in a row to end the regular season. I really don’t like that our current PP is suddenly bad now!

Hopefully it's Cole - that spot should suit him.
As for this game, they'll need Helle at this best and the guys keep it simple -

I've had a tradition of reading these out loud for good luck every time we have a GDT. This one made my mouth dry

That’s fantastic - thanks - makes me feel that all those pre- breakfast sessions are worthwhile.

from what I recall, Game 84-87 are typically the problem

hoping that doesn’t happen this year.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Well @Guardian17, at least I'm not the only one who has watched this series...

That makes the two of you!

 

[King Woodballs]

I guess the jets don’t care about 1st place with starting Comrie tonight.
