Feeling great and staying for awhile

Though I don't hold out much hope, win today. One game at a time. Vegas won 3 in a row, so can we.

Hellebuyck needs to put the team on his back
Connor needs to find a way to impact the game positively

Dubois has to stay out of the penalty box

We need at least one of 55 or 27 to play.

It's looking bleak but we're not dead yet!

 

[DRW204]

NYI pulled out a 3-2 win last night with Sorokin going 34/36 saves, ~2 goals-saved vs xGA. need that sort of performance from Helle tonight.....along with the goals-for of course.

 

[Buffdog]

At this point you gotta think schief and ehlers play. If their injuries get worse and we lose, they have all summer to heal. If they get worse and we win, we cross that bridge when we need to

All in, empty the tank

Yeah I'm going to be annoying about this but here it is.

No, Helley just needs to provide a quality start. If he wants to go full Hasek mode, fantastic. But at this point in the series and his last 9 playoff games, I'd settle for a quality start.

I got randomly chirped in my DM’s by a HFboard member…haven’t even interacted with @paul-laus before. What a coward.

Edit: Pretty rich that this loser has a Panthers player as his avatar.

Well he's right about something, he's a loser .

 

[jetsforever]

If there was ever a time to play Ehlers and Scheifele at 75% or whatever they are, it's now with the season on the line.

It's probably just me but man Scheifele looks tired.

A couple of posters mentioned that the game is tonight, game is on Thursday
Go Jets

Thanks for the heads up - I just assumed it was tonight. Hopefully another day for Scheifele and Ehlers to get ready, and Perfetti and Morrissey to magically heal

You can't be eliminated if you don't play!

It's probably just me but Schiefele looks to be taking a lot of luggage for just a two night stay in Vegas.

This example of drive-by swinery reflects the classic live-in-Mum's-basement flavour of wanker.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Welp, if you're gonna go down, go down Wheelering.

A split won't do it now, but a win tonight would mean something.

Hopefully we see fewer than 4 goalies in the game and a bit of 55 and 27 and some legit playoff battle from the Quiet Ones in KFC et al.

The series so far has recapitulated the season (to paraphrase Haeckel).

So we're due for a fightback, I'd say. Maybe even a win!

Onwards, you goalie-laden Jerts! I look forward to waking up to good news!

Going to be very difficult to win tonight considering the game is tomorrow...

Not sure why we need 4 goalies. Are we planning on running Brossoit and expect multiple retaliations?

We needed the Game 3 OT win. Now with all of our injuries to key stars, the playing field is just not close to being level. Especially when you look at the miraculous coincidence that their captain comes back from LTIR on the very day of the first playoff game - how convenient for cap management.

Either Helle steals one, or this hill is too steep to climb. F**K Vegas. Bunch of F**KING CHEATERS!!

Go Jets Go!!

THEY HAVE 4 GOALIES SO WE NEED 4 GOALIES

 

[WaveRaven]

Maybe Bones is going to start 2 goalies 1 dman.

It's probably just me but Schiefele looks to be taking a lot of luggage for just a two night stay in Vegas.

That was exactly my thought as well!

Also, you can catch anyone in any situation with an out of context expression while taking a picture.

I hope one of those roller bags isn't holding his golf clubs!

Scheifele is a avid golfer so one of those bags is probably golf clothing and shoes. That and he may be carrying stuff for Ehlers because Ehlers can't lift anything but will be playing tomorrow night, book it.
