GDT: Jets vs Torts Bargain Flyers 6:00 pm CT - TV: Sportsnet; Radio: 680 CJOB/Power 97

[kanadalainen]

Its game day! Wake up and take a libation.

PEG CITY, Vast Central Plains, Northern Hemisphere, Third Rock (molten core), Revolving around a common G2V star, Local galactic group (M31 andromeda, NGC 300, M33), Virgo Supercluster - The Winnipeg Coelacanths continue to hammer their way upstream and find themselves in the midst of a three-game home stretch against the much despised Tortorellian-influenced Flyers.

WIthout data from the morning swim, we plebians can only guess at the line ups. Whats more I have little to no information on who's platooning on D, and will rely solely on you lot for line changes and new stories as they come available.


Game Notes

The Jets are somehow 8-5-0 in January for a 0.615 points percentage, which is tied for 10th in the NHL. All this beat writer can assume is that Bones has got something up his sleeve vs the Flyers because Hooooo Doggies that Buffalo game was marked with a stubborn desire to have a nice nap.

The Jets have scored four goals or more in 24 games this season (22-2-0), which is tied for fifth in the NHL.

Here comes the fine print: the Jets have been held to two goals or less in five of their past seven games.

Pound some goals home you prevaricating pusillanimous pulsating purile panty-waisted bastards!

Perfecto had his three-game point streak end on Thursday, but he's still second among NHL rookies in scoring with 29 points (7G, 22A) in 45 games. His 22 assists lead all rookies.

Lineups

Plain Jane: "I think we're done here sir".
Red Leader: "Roger that, Jane... good work. Go Jets Go."

[Jets 31]

Thanks @kanadalainen for the GDT . Now lets stop this little fall we are having and play 60 minutes, oh and hit the net on a couple of our shots tonight.

 

[Jets 31]

How about Saku's goal song tonight, might be the only time we hear it.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Oh wow it is the world famous @kanadalainen we sure will be lucky kiddies today!

In the name of John McLean can we get a better effort tonight!

But I look forward to many of your hilarious posts Jets fans!

Lets see a famous Torts meltdown at games conclusion, yah?

GO JETS GO

 

[kanadalainen]

But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Make war upon this bloody tyrant, Torts?
And fortify yourself to pummel Hayes
With shots slick to yield Flyers’ undress’d shorts?
Now stand you at the peak of your happy hours,
And many untipp’d ales yet undrunk
With virtuous wish would wield Jets’ burgeoning power,
And choose Bones rather than thoughts left unthunk:
So should 4th line regain life that rest repair,
Which this, Bone's pencil, or my pupil pen,
Schuffles skate, Fly rocket to O-zones outward fair,
KFC immolate thine chicken before the eyes of men.
To summon thyself and keep thyself not still,
And you must live, drawn by your own sweet skill.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Looks like it will be a nice evening to put on shorts and a tee shirt, pour a cold beer, and watch the game outside beside the pool.

Spoken like a true Pegger.

Looking forward tonight. Going to the game with old friend I use to work with. Meet early for a couple drinks and supper. I think we see a real nice bounce back game. The trend this season seems to follow up a bad stretch with inspired play and I’m looking for that tonight.

 

[Guardian17]

thanks for the GDT @kanadalainen !!

Just like the last time we met I expect the Flyers to come out throwing their weight around.

Hopefully the Jets find their legs and out skate them.

I admire your optimism. I'm starting to think it will take some all star break R&R for the boys to flush out the system...

Where you going pre game? I recommend “Local” Pub and Eatery

 

[tbcwpg]

Hope for a good one tonight. Bank some points with these next two going into the break.

The team is still a good team, they're going through a mediocre stretch after a long road trip. They'll pull it together.

Going to the Yellow Dog, but I will remember to try out the Local.

 

[LowLefty]

Next couple are important in getting us back on track - starting tonight
I see a big rebound game comin' witih our top 6 leading the charge - and giving our D (and Helle) a bit of a breather (they need it).
Multi point nights for Ehlers, Sheif, KC, Perfetti, and JoMo - book it.

 

[Thechozen1]

A quick peek at the prediction thread on the Flyers board so far has 100% predicting a Jets win.

I STILL can’t “like” my lord JC HFBoards, WTH!

Anyways major “LOVE” here @kanadalainen

 

[The Blue Baron]

Going to the Yellow Dog, but I will remember to try out the Local.

Yup never been but my Uncle Gerry brings up the Yellow Dog constantly apparently best club house in Winnipeg!

 

[Hobble]

Jets better smarten up and win a damn game.

 

[KingBogo]

So no morning skate today. Apparently Bones will address the media at 3:30 PM, so we should get confirmation on the lineup then.

 

[SUX2BU]

Thanks @kanadalainen

Hope Torts’ canoe gets flipped

 

[Heldig]

Just win and play a solid game please.

 

[Stumbledore]

I hope that Bones has motivated the team to make a solid effort and focus on two things: more shots on net and not passing directly to a Flyer in our own end.

If the talent on this team shows up and plays up to their abilities, we've got this one.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

When you hit the bottom there is no where to go but up. Question is have we hit our bottom yet?
Please make Tortz have a melt down.
I love me some “angry Fonzie”.

 

[Fatdrunk]

There was no morning skate today which proves to me that the Jets are doing nothing seriously to address their on ice problems such as puck management, defence and communication. There should be no excuse of fatigue for they been playing an average of 20 minutes of hockey every other day.

They had a practice yesterday, which is much more important to work on any concerns than a morning skate.
