Post-Game Talk: Jets 3 - Caps 2 in OT

[kanadalainen]

The entire game was typified by clutch plays by a whack of Jets.

Clutch begets Clutch.

It was an ugly .931. He was fighting it.

It seems like Helle is not as sharpe in his first game back after a game off. He still made some nice saves but that first goal he lost the net.

 

[Aphid]

The Jets got away with one there. The Ehlers goal was a two line pass.

This was THE game to watch and it lived up to the hype. What a snipe by Fly in OT to win it...

I give this game four "Proud Canadians" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against Puddy's Team has been posted for your guesses. Big "Thank you" to @SUX2BU for today's GDT! It has been a slow week at work, so I have been able to come up with some ideas for GDTs, so the next one's on me. See you on Friday! Good night...

Caught The last period. Why were there so many Caps fans in the seats?

Lots of late millennials/early gen z didn't get to grow up with the Jets. As someone in that age bracket everyone's favourite player was either Crosby, Ovi, or Iginla growing up - probably still a lot of Ovi/Washington fans who haven't fully switched allegiances to the Jets

This isn't 1980.

Someone wants likes. Just pretend to be a woman, you can drag that out for months.

What an asshat.

1980 was 20 years ago

Very impressed with Perfetti! I've been hesitant on him for a while due to foot speed and seeming gassed often but he seems like he's found that next gear and getting a lot stronger on the boards. Love to see it!

 

[Weezeric]

Wilson was happy to go hard against Ehlers, but curled into the fetal position against Schenn. Real tough guy..

 

[10Ducky10]

Perfetti's patience with the puck is a thing to behold...

 

[Aggie204]

My favourite part? Ehlers burying it with Wilson on the ice.

Showed flashes of it and creativity during his rookie season. He’s adjusted to the speed of the NHL.

Not only that but you used to fear for his life along the boards, now he actually goes looking for contact and the puck.

 

[jungles]

Maybe Perfetti really could be our 2nd line center. He is really starting to drive out there. I had all but given up on him.

This isn't 1980.

We were lucky to get that one by Don Beaupre...

 

[Hunter368]

Tough game vs the two best teams in the NHL standings, playoff style or feel to it. Very close game for 60 mins, either team could of won it. Lots of players had good games, I'll acknowledged Ehlers & Cole having especially good games IMO.

He took enough crosschecks to kill Kaprizov in the corner there.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Let there be no doubts. That was a playoff game. This team is for real.

But Scheif and Connor kinda no showed. Thank the Good Chevy for granting them depth!!

 

[RabidOne]

Jets needed the win so I picked the Caps to win. The reverse jinx usually works so you are all welcome.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Fantastic atmosphere at the game tonight, I haven't cheered that loudly for awhile. Roof blew off the place when Nik scored the OT winner.

 

[ps241]

Arniel is the most controlled coach the Jets have had in his interviews and he is usually very consistent mood wise. That is as excited as I have seem him after a game. Obviously he loved the quality of that game.
