Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Flames 2

[Xavier Laflamme]

This game rates a full motorboat

arneil does not think lowry will be back before the break

That's to bad he was really coming on, well at least we are still winning but we really could've used him on this road trip

I'm seeing less and less posts mocking the people that said the jets were fatigue so that's probably a good sign

It's a classic "if/then" scenario...

Many of us pointed to the travel and schedule as a factor in their poor play at the time. I believe I asked at least one poster "if they begin playing well again after this stretch of the schedule is over, would you admit that maybe you're wrong and it does, indeed affect them?'

Of course it could just be a coincidence that their stretch of poor play was at the same time as that stretch of games, but I think it's unlikely

3 game win streak. 5 goal game. A goal difference of 56. Doing it without the captain. Brad Lauer in the wintess protection program. Finally a W for Bricky. Jets tied with Washington for most points in the NHL (albeit with more games played) and an 8 point gap over Dallas in the Central. Oh yeah, and what an opening goal from Kyle Connor.

We happy?

If anything, I thought this game was closer than the game we lost to the Flames last time, except they didn't have a goaltender stealing the game. Another total ass kicking.

I think Calmree stole the game early for the Jets but then got run support.
Pp was lethal but my picking the Flames was key. You are all welcome

Last night against the Wild he got a nice goal but then he did this super weird skate over to the boards and stare at a Wild fan in what was so cringe. Then I found out it’s his thing like a death stare. The hilarious part is it’s very awkward and nobody even knows WTF he is doing. Obviously trying for the heel prosona but he doesn’t need gimmicks because his face even a mother couldn’t love is all he needs.

I thought it was pretty funny - so did that Wild fan he was death-staring at...

What a goal by Connor, takes it from his own blueline and then givers the rest of the way. I tell ya, even Nietzsche would be happy watching this goal.

Boy, those refs are gonna be in trouble!

It was a beauty that was for sure. Probably the play of the week.

I can never remember; is that "north-south" hockey or "east-west" hockey?

It makes most sense to bring him back after the 4 nations if he is ready. That ends up being a good long stretch.

The puck never touched the back of the net lol... it went roof then straight down

Being able to elevate the backhand like that makes that move almost unstoppable. Even if the goalie doesn't bite and tracks properly, there's gonna be a little gap up over his shoulder

Everything about that goal was beautiful

This road trip could be really ugly or great but only game that matters is vs Wsh. Keep ovi and PlD off the scoreboard !!

You in Lowe Farm, or McGregor?

Nice to see Comrie get the win, he deserves better than his record would indicate. Beauty goals by Connor and Vilardi! I give this game four "Re-Runs" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Habnots has been posted for your guesses. What's that...

Yes indeed, it has been awhile, but we have not one but two trifectas tonight. Congratulations to @Mortimer Snerd and @TheHead for correctly picking the winning team (one point), the correct final score (two points), and the player who scored the opening goal of the game (three points). They each received an extra two points for hitting the trifecta, way to go both of you!

A big round of applause to @Section 325 for another great GDT, thank you so much! The next game is available for anyone willing to take the challenge. See you all Tuesday. Good night...

 

[kanadalainen]

Probably a bit early for Clutch...

But this one is for Eric Clutch Comrie.

Boy turning dubois into a 30 goal winger and a good 3rd line center looks better and better. Vilardi is quite the player.

Chevy has pulled off some masterful trades during his tenure.

It is not and was not the travel. it is and was playing against certain teams that forecheck the Jets, clog the middle and keep the forwards to the outside. No doubt the Jets are playing well enough to win the past few games without the captain. It is still going to come down to playoff matchups at the end of the day.
