Post-Game Talk: Jets beat Habs in OT 5-4

[puck stoppa]

Niku does have work to do finding his check in his own end quicker but that will come. Kid is dynamite on offense, good on coach to put him out there in OT!

If there is, Shakespeare sure didn't write it

Hmmmm.......

Only 2 games isn't a long time to need some breaks. For our part we have two super winnable games at home to boot. I'm not ready to write off the rest of the regular season just yet.

I'm actually having a lot of fun with it. The pressure is off, our depth is glowing through and there is still a little bit to play for. And a Presidents banner hanging from the rafters isn't nothing nor is home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.

 

[kanadalainen]

Shouldn't you be busy penning a poem about this? About a lot of good things happening but not ending tragedy?
Is there even such a poem?

I accept.

Never any Jets team had that many before.....

Nice win

Hope we clean up the D a bit this last 2 games.

Niku will give the Jets offense another element.

 

[Tommigun]

Niku scores on his first NHL shot!

Plus Laine scores inching closer to Rocket..plus Ehlers inches closer to 30.

What a time to be a Jets fan!

I hope Ehhlers doesn’t get to 30 after prioritizing his 30 instead of a team win. Can’t believe he didn’t pass to Laine who had a wide open net with an easy tap in in OT :/

If Niku can have a career like Teppo were are golden on the left side for years

 

[jokesondee]

I'd gladly take another Teppo!

May not have been top-notch hockey, but it yielded top-notch results.

Connor's forced his way into the Calder race consideration for finalist.

1st in Central still possible (although not probable) and 2nd overall still a possibility.

Hope the officiating improves for the playoffs.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

WTF that goalie interference in Florida. HOW THE EFF WAS THE VEGAS PLAY NOT INTERFERENCE!

 

[OldCraig71]

I wish you could have beaten us in regulation time but oh well. Cheers Winnipeg Jets fans, many of us are rooting for you in the playoffs, what a well built talented young team.

I didn't see that but if true, I agree.

 

[DharmaBum]

Jets getting ready for the playoffs; who's up first?

After tonight there is little doubt he is not a NHL player. I'm guessing the organization wanted this look to help inform decisions going forward.

I mean, why not us? 4% is a big number in the grand scheme of thinks. Rolling doubles on a pair of dice twice in a row is only 2.8% and we've all done that too many times to count.

 

[Channelcat]

Is he wrestling Joe Morrow?

 

[Adam da bomb]

Roslo 2 Perrault 0 Mo do the right thing.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I want to see Roslovic paired up with Connor, those two have terrific chemistry. I also saw how good Ehlers is with Connor as well.

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Roslovic-Ehlers

We would have but the ref figured it was garbage time and thought the home fans would appreciate some late game suspense.

 

[puck stoppa]

I didn't see that but if true, I agree.

Laine did have a tap in, but in fairness I think Ehlers used Laine as a decoy hoping Price would cheat over and he almost caught him leaning.

You just... just said the "T" word.
