Rangers visit Jets in search of first win on trip

RANGERS (35-28-4) at JETS (30-28-9)

TV: MSG, TSN-JETS
Last 10: New York 4-5-1; Winnipeg 3-3-4

Season series: The Winnipeg Jets defeated the New York Rangers 5-2 at Madison Square Garden on
Dec. 2. Olli Jokinen scored twice for the Jets.

Big story: The Rangers have started their three-game road trip with two losses, including 2-1 to
the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. New York has one goal in each of the two games.

"We just need to find a way to score goals," forward Derick Brassard told MSG Network. "I think
with the group of forwards that we have and everything, we just need to find a way to put the puck
in the net. We're going to face a team [that's] desperate to make the playoffs ... so it's not
going to be easy, especially in that building.

Duh. I'm stupid. I thought about a high draft pick whos name starts with P.

Perlini or Pastrnak?

On topic: Go jets go! I'm never in favour of losing, even if our playoff hopes are miniscule. I'm predicting goals from Kane and Wheeler. Multiple goals.

 

[Romang67]

I dream of Draisaitl.

 

[ICdave]

Plenty of playoff talk still as well as prospect depth, penalties (both for and against), hear from coach Maurice as well as IceCaps coach McCambridge and much more in the Papers.

TBH, I stopped informing myself about the top draft picks this year as soon as I heard Draisaitl will be eligible, which was like immediately after the WJC

 

[JetsFan815]

Hate to say it but wouldn't mind if we lost. More and more I am scoreboard watching and cheering for the likes of Carolina, Nashville, Vancouver, Ottawa to win. 6th overall is easily within grasp

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

Lets get a win for all the kids who are too young to understand tanking. Go Jets Go!

 

[Huffer]

Can't cheer for a loss yet myself. Especially not when we have Dallas on Sunday.

I want the 2 points tonight and a Dallas loss in Calgary (frick), so a win on Sunday puts us at 1 point back (but with two more games played).

 

[CaptainChef]

3 points out of 6th and Nashville has a game in hand Let the Draisaitl watch begin

 

[alchemyindex]

I'm going to be there tonight! I think that the Jets win, with one player scoring a certain number of goals and then the spectators suddenly being without a certain piece of headgear.

 

[peg]

I want the 2 points tonight and a Dallas loss in Calgary (frick), so a win on Sunday puts us at 1 point back (but with two more games played).

Keep in mind that Dallas is already down to a very tough Columbus team 1 - 0 so you can count it as an almost certain loss so we will really be down just 1 point with only one more game played. Then all we have to do is keep pace with the Stars and beat them on the 24th and we are playoff bound

2.3% chance of making the playoffs my ass

 

[RonJon]

I dream of Draisaitl.

Buttons has him at #4 in his March rankings so either he or we have to drop like a rock.

 

[Gm0ney]

lol Brad Richards...

 

[sipowicz]

If Kane and Wheeler can awaken from their scoring coma we may have a chance.

We all know who should be on the 3rd and 4th lines, lets see how Mo does that tonight.

Postma in for Pardy or Ellerby, it's time.

 

[GJF]

Buttons has him at #4 in his March rankings so either he or we have to drop like a rock.

Moving up is the solution

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Dear Jets -
Please kick-start the cold, dead heart of Peg hockey fandom.
Dispassionately yours,
The Fans.

 

[JC Numminen]

I choose playoffs

Rangers coming off a tough loss to the Wild last night, so they may be tired.

4-2 Jets, Kane, Wheeler, Seto and Ladd

GJG

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I have never and will never hope for a loss. GO JETS GO!

 

[bennysflyers16]

Tonight not just a Jets supporter, I m a fan Jets need the win and a Rags loss helps my Flyers

Win tonight and Sunday with a Stars loss tonight and right back in it.
