I have tickets, but I decided to give them to the kids. They will get to experience a playoff home game for the first time... I've been to lots. The hype is crazy and it should be a beauty.

Rockstar shit right there...

Yup and we had our playoff draft yesterday and i have 7 Jets out of my 10 picks, kinda putting my money where my mouth is.

I've got 5!

Debating if I watch the game on ESPN2 or Sportsnet

Rums and fancy scotches are all very well, but what I'm looking forward to is handmade pizza. Thick, saucy meat-laden, mushroom-coated pizza. It's the playoffs, to hell with calories! I'm going to celebrate every goal with more pizza!

Homemade pizzas here as well today. My far better half has already banished me from the kitchen as she gets things organized. She always has a surprise pizza for us to try when she does this.

Going to take the dogs out and let them run amuck for awhile while I coat my stomach lining with barley so they'll be too pooped later on to mooch.

So excited/nervous. I love playoffs and especially when I feel like there is a good chance for the Jets to do well. Go jets!!!!!!

 

[SensibleGuy]

Really hoping for something extra special this year! For me, not getting past the first round would be a real dissappointment. I pretty much need some second round action at the least. But like I said, really hoping for something extra special this year.

Series could go either way but leaning more towards the Jets based on who they can be when they play correctly with limiting easily avoidable mistakes. If they play to their abilities, they'll win.

The issue I am having is people making out Mackinnon to be this unstoppable force no matter what. He got a lot of points this year because Colorado plays an offensive game. He's on their top line so he'll get lots of points over an 82 game season. He will score some goals and get assists this series because you're not going to shut out a team four games in a row. Problem is people talk like he is McDavid or prime Crosby/Ovechkin which he is not. He doesn't concern me as long as the Jets play how their team and systems are built for.

I feel the same way about Mac. Don’t get me wrong he had an incredible regular season, but to put all the offense on the first lines shoulders is gonna be too much. Top heavy teams have trouble in the playoffs.

I loved that secondary logo.

Here's a good picture showing how much I love homemade pizza -

Am I allowed to listen on the radio though?

As far as I know.

You've jinx talked yourself into a corner. If you watch and they lose, you will be confirming the superstition. Sooner or later you need to watch a win. Maybe go to a game live. The white-out party might even be OK.

You should have watched the last game. Nice as the win was, we could have absorbed the loss. It might have been your best shot at breaking the string. Unless we had lost of course.

Good news


Bad news. Bartlett's fine, Galley sucks.

When things aren’t going optimally, Galley is even more insufferable.

 

[KingBogo]

Got the whiteout gear on. Just about to walk out the door. Will check out a bit of the street party before making my way into Canada Life Centre for the game. See you all back here afterwards to celebrate the victory!

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

Taking one for the team!



Whachu talkin bout?

i was talking about ads; they suck balls lol

 

[TheDeuce]

Jets must still be getting action with the bookies. They're down to paying +112 from the +115 I got when I bet on them earlier in the week.

Odds for todays game:

Jets are teeny tiny favourites. Think I'll take the Jets -1.5 and hope for a repeat of the last game we played against Colorado. Jets -2.5 pays 4.85:1.
