Post-Game Talk: Jets 3 - Stars 0

[jungles]

That was one hell of a game by the boys. Pretty much the opposite to which got predicted all day long. I think we have proved we deserved to be considered among the contenders.

When the Jets play with intensity like they did tonight or against New York, they can beat anybody.

Real good 40 minutes or so. Cannot underestimate the value of good goaltending, either.....

 

[Buffdog]

There's lots of room on the bandwagon... come have a seat beside me

 

[Gm0ney]

More like that, please ..

Speaking of Stanley, he had a great game.

They way he has picked up his game has been pretty amazing. He has easily moved into the bottom pairing with his play.

 

[bustamente]

It's been a hell of a broken up road trip 6/6 points

 

[LowLefty]

These Jets have it in them to play really sound hockey -
I wasn't sure what to expect tonight - almost thought they were mailing this one in without Helle
But they played a super structured game that had the Stars mumbling to themselves -
Great effort - and great to see against what I consider the team to beat in the west.

outstanding win, everyone played good, that's how we played them early in the season just didn't get cost by shitty special teams this time, and f*** you coward ref for not giving us that 5on3

 

[roccerfeller]

LOTS to like about that game. This is the Jets we saw play well in December

 

[Do or Die]

Lose 6 in a row
Now 5 game win streak

Okbebedoky.

Agreed. Tonight is the team the are capable of being. And if they can deliver that consistently throughout the playoffs we have a punchers chance at a cup.

Stanley trending upward.......
Pionk should be in purgatory......

And Schitt fired into the Sun...

Leafs lost...

Porn star scores...

Never ending TSN and SN drooling to follow...

 

[Hunter368]

Good game overall, shut them down.

 

[DharmaBum]

Larry Bro still undefeated (In regulation) vs. Dallas, now 3-0-1.
Appleton the leading point getter in this game; 2 assists.
Avoided get swept in the season series.
Played an overall good game, putting together good elements of previous games. Feels like we could be getting on a good roll.

Play like that and we can take down 'Occupied Mexico' in the playoffs.

 

[Orrrules]

Very impressive. When they play hard north south hockey they are really good.

Guys this really isn’t important. AM chase for 70 with Leafs losing will be the talk of the sports world.
God there are days I hate Toronto

Great statement win approaching the finish line. Home ice is within reach!

Home ice is within reach, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a good thing.

It needs to be noted, I think, that since returning in 2011, the Jets home playoff record is, well...awful. They're 7-13 at home, and 10-12 on the road. The White Outs are a lot of fun, but maybe counterproductive for the team.

I am enthused about how they're playing, going into the playoffs, though. From about mid-November to the end of December the Jets were, by quite a wide margin, the best team in the NHL. Then...they weren't.

They seem to be getting it back though, and right now they're more like December's team than January-March's team. If they can keep it up, there's nobody they can't beat. Not saying they will, but they can.

I thought playing Brossoit tonight was brilliant. It's a statement. We can beat the best teams with our backup goalie, which has to give the entire team a boost in confidence, and if it had backfired, they have an excuse - Hellebuyck wasn't playing. Honestly, this was one of Bowness' best psychological moves all season.

And nobody's mentioning Samsonov letting in 6 on 20 shots
That's some playoff goaltending right there
