Jets started out great.

Aves pushed back but the Jets didn't fold.

Jets end it with a bang!

Thank you Heather Locklear!

Quadruple like!

 

[Atoyot]

Not sure how Giorgiev has such a poor angle there that Pionk can hit the far corner as a right hand shot. Like, it was a great shot don't get me wrong but it really shouldn't go in.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Yes Hives... good good... more...

Further to the getting Pionk'd...

Only because you posted a song about an exploding pocketwatch, I need to post the only other song I know of that features that as a motif. And yes, this is the song that taught me that "steampunk" isn't just a fashion disaster, it's a musical genre.

 

[kanadalainen]

This calls for some Clutch.

Bear with me folks. I love me some Clutch.




And for the sing-a-long

Well I crashed a Cadillac through the Gates Of Hell
And returned with a Fist Full Of Dollars
And Evel Knievel, like Virgil
Was a gentleman as well as a scholar
I fly like a Retro-glide buckshot
And you know I hang like a hex on a barn
Grind the guardrail like a nail on a file
Above and beyond the hole nine yards
Well I rolled Jesse Helms like a cigarette
And smoked him higher than the highest of the minarets
Jesse James couldn't even handle it
Started looking at me like I was Sanskrit
'Cause in the Great Shining Path of the Great Monster Trucks
There's no such thing as beginner's luck
I'm the Dirty Dozen for the price of one
Get it while it's hot, going, going, going, gone
It's about time you started learning
Started learning to come to where the flavor is
Flavor is
It's about time you started learning
You started learning to come to Where the Flavor Is
Flavor is
The skies are always sunny in the heart of Flavor Country
Where the washer's stuffed with money are growing like grass
Junk bondage racks never cut you slack
But that's the way the racket goes when rounding up green backs
Don't hate me just because I'm beautiful
You'll find that it's really not unusual
When you're raised with The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
A holy trinity in Flavor Country
It's about time you started learning
Started learning to come to Where the Flavor Is
Flavor is
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
And you are my happy trail
You are my happy trail
You are my happy trail
You are my happy trail

That's why backups are backups

 

[GNP]

Holy shit, before I could even finish bitching about Pionk / Lowry / Appleton to start overtime.. damn.

After my adrenalin dies down, I'll use the opportunity to cite this as evidence of the massive variance in 3v3 OT

Outright shocking, considering Lowry scores 6 goals per year, and Appleton, not many more. Yet they win the game -- it is shocking, but great for the Jets. I would have never started those guys in overtime.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Despite the win I'm not a fan of playing not to lose in OT.

There was a game against the Paul Maclean coached Sens (I think), where the Jets started Buff, Scheifele, and Wheeler I think it was against what was essentially their 3rd line. It went pretty much exactly as you'd expect. I think the Jets ended it in like 30 seconds.

May have even just been Connor, Scheifele, Wheeler

How does a team defend at 3 on 3?

 

[Atoyot]

That's why backups are backups

Fortunately for the rest of the league, that's their starter.

 

[jgimp]

I missed the game as I was up at the Owen Sound/London game. I was able to listen to the 3rd on the way home and it sounds like they played well. I’ve been a pretty hardcore follower of Stanley but I’m glad Slamberg went in for him, how did Samberg fare against the Avs and how did the new pairings work out. Good to see Perfetti coming on and for Pionk to show all the haters
Looking ahead to the draft, Barlow is good at hockey!

 

[Potential]

Avs will be a lot better once Landeskog returns. However by that time, so will we.

 

[AlphaLackey]

I'm assuming it was some kind of "Sneak them out, trying to steal home ice, hoping that Bednar just rolls out his top line and doesn't notice he ran them into our best defensive trio". I've run that scam in fantasy replay leagues more often than I can recount. It also had the good fortune for us scoring against their top 3 but that's the best answer I have as to why.

 

[Buffdog]

As a goalie who's lost his angle many times...

Handedness isn't the factor per se. It's where the puck is

 

[AlphaLackey]

wait, what?

Samberg was solid. Our defense was much more mobile with him in there.

Yes it will be their undoing in a quest to repeat

I always have a tough time reconciling your love of Shakespeare and Clutch lol.

Did we clone Landeskog and no one told me?

 

[GNP]

The Jets look like they have a real winner in Perfetti, and have done such a great job on their drafting. If Lambert works out, they will be hugely strong upfront. The thing they will have to do is rebuild that defence, with some size, and puck moving guys, that can skate.

You mean it was over in a flash?

 

[DRW204]

Third pair LD had been such a problem that samberg with a pretty unremarkable game was a welcomed sight

 

[Howard Chuck]

Great game, but as a small tweak, Heinola would fix our PP.

Man I can't wait for Lambert - you can just tell he has crazy finishing skill. Reminds me of Kyle Connor.

Okay Big Save Dave you're up
