Post-Game Talk: Jets 6 - Pens 3

[raideralex99]

Time to let it go …. nobody gives a f*** about Rutger.
Jet fans are going to get a rap as being immature and bad fans which is not true.
Just let it go and stop mentioning his name … winining is the best revenge.

 

[wraithsonwings]

This is a good team. Maybe the league will finally notice it's a good team.

Nah, we're in the wrong province.

 

[KingBogo]

I'm not sure about you guys (yes it's only 1 game this season in) but I like Fleury better than Stanley as our 6th d-man.

Agreed Fleury was much better then Stan was.

Yager will be better anyway. Time for everyone to just let it go with Rutger.

Fun game. They did a great job on the Little tribute! National anthems were excellent as always whenever those boys get the call.

Was very impressed with Sid, EK and Letang. Very easily their three best players. At this rate Sid can play until he’s 50.

Jets have a solid team. I didn’t have anyone to rag on today (which was very strange for me ).

Keep it up!

 

[KingBogo]

Great memory for Little and especially for his daughter seeing Dad skate one more time for a NHL team.

During his interview it appears she never really saw her dad skate in the NHL as she was only 1 1/2 years old when he played his last NHL game.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Sounded alright to me on Friday. A little to loud for my liking because I'm now 50+, though

Or, a little too loud for your liking because it is a little too loud.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Agreed, couldn't hear it either

That's bad.

 

[surixon]

On the Pens side, I thought Glass played well. Would like the see him get his career in track. He still has a lot of skill.

 

[Jet]

good win, stanley with a terrible pass on an easy zone exit gave the pens some momentum but we overcame that and won despite the lineup changes

I thought Miller was pretty jittery with the puck too.

 

[KingBogo]

Just looking through the underlying numbers for the season and Pionk comes out at near the top of every category. The guy is a pending UFA and gets shit on constantly, put he is 29 years old and is playing statistically as our best RHD. I know it is early in the season, but the guy is making a case for a nice extension.

 

[Thechozen1]

This is a good team. Maybe the league will finally notice it's a good team.

If they ever go on a deep playoff run, they’ll get acknowledgment. Consistently getting ousted in 5 games deserves no acknowledgement.

It's funny, some around here think we're a bubble team. It's actually insane to me.

I understand people's angst with him. I feel like he really lets his emotions dictate his play which is unpredictable.

I was on him last year pretty hard but I do love me some Pionk.

Especially when he crinkles his nose on the bench, it's adorbs.

The way we've gone out in the post season the last number of years is a big reason for it imo. They have a deep run this year and the talking heads change their tune pretty quickly.

To be fair, there was only ever going to be one game in Winnipeg this year to bring it up. I don't have a problem with it.

Fair enough. We all consider different variables in our analysis

Agreed, and we used to be known for our chants. It was good to get some of those vibes going again. The atmosphere was real good today.

 

[RetroWinnipeg]

WE’RE THE BEST AROUND

 

[voyageur]

I think it's fitting in a way that all 3 players that drew into the lineup today knew Bryan Little in some way, through training camps, or actually playing on the same team as him (Gustafsson).

Glad the Jets won, but the guys who came in should probably go back out next game.

Lucky for the Jets and their fans we have two elite wingers on different lines, and they also accomplished something together.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think that's 3 o-zone faceoff wins for Adam Lowry now that have gone in the net. Last one for a GWG. Small details, but getting some more offensive time hasn't hurt the team, just another feather in the Cap's hat. Lowry sure did well at negating Crosby. Still think he should win a Selke in his career.

Josh and Neal have done pretty well this year at leading the rush consistently. Getting some secondary scoring from Miller is key too.

It's going to be a sad place when the team eventually loses, but enjoy the ride folks. Scott Arniel deserves some credit for waking them up in the 2nd.

We may not be selling out games but the fans in attendance seem to be having a great time part in parcel to the effort and winning, keep this play up and tickets sales will increase both with walkup and mini packs

Then now is the time to let it die. I don't like what the kid did, and it is starting to look like he is no guarantee to be a difference maker. Bottom line is Chevy got an equal return (IMO) and some where down the line we can evaluate the trade with enough information to know how things worked out.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Jets have had a very easy schedule so far.

In the end him not wanting to come here could be one of the greatest things that happens to this organization. Both players are years away from contributing to either team but that's not a given for either.

Just like he did last time he was in a contract year.

 

[winnipegger]

Well, it was always going to happen. We lost, and it's time to dig deep and

wait

Agreed. Also it's the cheapest seats that aren't selling, which to me is still indicative of the financial hardship many in the middle class are still feeling. I expect we see more of those seats sold as the things continue to improve on that front.
