Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Leafs 2

[AlphaLackey]

Exact who do we need to beat to prove we are number 1?

I’d say the only one would be Vegas. We beat them, we can win anytime anywhere.

I'd agree with that. Of all the teams on our heels between us and the finals, they're the ones I worry about the most. Plus the ghosts of two 4-1 series losses hang over us. A solid five-versus-less-than-five thumping of them would feel good.

I know I know. They must over come and the Jets have the talent and grit to do it. They need the best game plan to go and execute. The refs will be against us but we have the troops to beat them.

Just in case anyone is wondering that's 25 wins 51 points and yes that's really really good

 

[AlphaLackey]

I thought maybe the Jets were going to mail this one in but they proved me wrong and I feel shame and an sorry

No shame in eating crow after the Jets exceed expectations. A bit like me and pepper spray -- you get rejected enough with it and you kind of appreciate the taste.

Play teams even at 5-on-5 chances. And not only do we have the goaltending ace in the sleeve, but this year our special teams are actually extremely good. It's so nice to be able to see a game plan that can work for any game.

Morrissey with his usual great play, Pionk also outstanding today.

Pionk was f***ing brilliant

Luckily I don't have to deal with that. Both my family and my wife's family are all true die hard Jets fans. Everyone on the same page and all will be thrilled with the start of the season.

That's okay I like the fight and give as good as I get, got a little help with my pops and a couple of cousins. It will be a glorious couple of days

 

[KingBogo]

Just went back and watched the replays for today. A lot of really nice plays, that came out of hard work and skill.

 

[Fatdrunk]

Missed the first period due to errands Caught the last two in a very well played road game.

Merry Christmas to all and see you on Saturday.

The dreaded day to day

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

This should put all the Debbie Downers to bed … good night and Merry Christmas.

The Jets could have easily mailed this one in and did not. This changes my impression of them big time but I still reserve the right to be a realist!

Yep, they will avoid this PGT.

I am here win or lose! Happy the beat the dreaded leafs, hope Fleury is ok, saw a few too many failed puck clearing attempts by the Jets but the Toronto's were a turnover machine in that thrid period. They mailed it in when the Jets had every reason to do that!

 

[Jets 31]

Merry Christmas to everyone on here and your family and hopefully you get everything you want for Christmas......

Missed most of the game because, darn it, I had to work! Still followed along with all of you on HFJets, so I guess I wasn't working too hard. Great to see the Jets beat the Laffs, can't get enough of that! Even better to see Jets Nation invade Scotiabank Arena and show them what it's like. I give the game four "crying Laffs fans" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against Ottawa has been posted for your guesses. I tabulated the points and do you know what?

Yes indeed, not just one but two trifectas today! Congratulations to @TheHead and @LowLefty for correctly predicting that the Jets would win 5-2 and that Kyle Connor would score the first goal of the game. Way to go you two!

The Jets don't play until Saturday, and that game is available if you would like to make a GDT. I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and I will see you all on the weekend! Good night...

I’m hard to buy for, but going into the break like this is all I wanted.

I was with you. Thought they would pull a Canada Post type strike and not deliver the mail but damn was I wrong and pleasantly surprised.
Helly looked very poised and to finish the game with 5 dmen was a great accomplishment. Showed true grit and determination unlike vs ANH and SJ where they may have let the SUN 'n'moms get to the best of them!

The dreaded day to day

No the dreaded Stanley might play.

No the dreaded Stanley might play.

Isn't Samberg just about ready to return?

 

[bustamente]

You think Fefe is a little pissed about not being named to the Canadian team for the 4 nations tourney.

Teams like this don't happen often, you should let yourself be way more positive about the Jets this season. They really can't do much better so far than they have.

Isn't Samberg just about ready to return?

Shit i forgot. I feel even better now.

 

[Romang67]

Isn't Samberg just about ready to return?

He's ready to start skating soon after Christmas, but I think we're ways away from him actually returning.

 

[bustamente]

Isn't Samberg just about ready to return?

Last telecast they said he might start skating soon so we will have to wait for a bit still, hope it all goes well and he gets back on the ice sooner rather than later.

 

[Hobble]

Jets could take no more sh*t from the Leafs this year.

 

[KingBogo]

Selfishly (I guess) I'd prefer as many of our players not play as possible. It is just a pretend little meaningless tournament that will keep players that are in it, from getting the rest and healing time of the players not playing.

Yup wish Helle wasn't going either but he deserves the chance to represent his country and also in a way the Jets.

The jacket exchange never gets old. Great bonding ritual.
