Post-Game Talk: S-H-U-T-O-U-T Jets win 5-0.

Still way too many pizzas later in the game. Pav to bail them out. I thought he was shaky at first with that rebound in the slot but as the game progressed, with a 4 goal lead, pav looked a lot more comfortable with some stellar saves at the end. So glad he rebounded back from his last game. Hope he keeps it up!

Did we win a faceoff in the third period? That was a shutout as in "shutout" ... the goalie did it all. Not thrilled with Buff putting it all at risk in a 5-0 game with a few minutes to go.

Weird game ... the best and the worst of the Jets on display but it adds up to the biggest win since the first season. I wonder what Noel will say -- I'll bet he's not 100% happy with this.

Jets' PK continues to shine. Power play is basically a two-minute rest when you can go get some more chips or feed the cat, with confidence that you won't miss anything.

Pavs earned the goose egg tonight - he played like a legitimate #1, and gave up a lot fewer rebounds and was much better with his positioning.

Props to the entire team - play like a team and look what happens. Olli has been getting better with each game this season - maybe we'll see a return to form from him this year. And Buff did a 180 from the other night. Bogo did not have a very good game though, and I wonder if there's maybe a nagging injury we don't know about.

Pardy, and to a lesser extent, Ellerby played decent games tonight. Pretty much a good effort by the entire team.

Great game by the Jets Pavs was surprisingly competent. I'm not planning Vezina parties until I see some consistency from him though

If a 40 save shutout is "surprisingly competent" I'd love to see "good" or just "ok"

Bogo did not have a very good game though, and I wonder if there's maybe a nagging injury we don't know about.

But I thought you were not allowed to play with little nagging injuries on Claude Noel's Jets

 

[Puckschmuck*]

The rollercoaster ride continues. "Going up"

 

[Jimby]

Great to see Buff playing a little snarly and great that he got his first goal! WTG Jets!

Oh, FIRE THE SKATE SHARPENER GUY!

 

[Savagestevo]

Was nice to watch a game where the Jets actually had a bit of a cushion, wasn't as nervewracking.

Some bad giveaways in the game still, but the Predators didn't convert on them and Pavelec was able to stop a couple. Bogosian is having a really poor start to the season, wonder if something is up there injury wise?

 

[DarthMonty]

Apparently only if your name is Evander.

But seriously, Bogosian just seems "off" so far this season. He is not playing like the dominant d-man we saw from last year.

Did Schief play tonight?

Good team effort, one of Joki's better games, he's been good this season.

 

[sipowicz]

Why is Seto holding a mic in the Little interview, oops not him....

 

[garret9]

Well done Pavelec

Cold, rainy and snowy outside. Friday night before a long weekend. Ordered in my favourite pie. Snapped a few wobbly pops. Watched my NHL team win 5-0. It's a good thing!

Edit: Great to see Pavs smile. Bring on the Sharks!

 

[Stej]

Good interview by Pavs. I like that he accepts that the fans have a right to be demanding. Awesome.

Our stick guy is doing a great job, he really knows his knobs.

 

[rehf]

Pavs played a great game. Giving him that rest did wonders I think.

Things started getting sloppy late in though, and all the turn overs and people falling down, gotta try and sort that out.

 

[Andy6]

Pavs all-important save pct bounced up to .911 and GAA down to 2.86.

 

[SensibleGuy]

That was a good night. Got a few monkeys off our back. Strng a couple more wins together and we can start turning this season around...

 

[Puckschmuck*]

Things started getting sloppy late in though, and all the turn overs and people falling down, gotta try and sort that out.

This seems to happen every game though; a "team" effort, which leads to our inconsistency.

 

[jigglysquishy]

We playoffs now

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

I judge Pavs goaling by the raised pucks chart, not very many raised pucks sent to him tonight so his stats are inflated, and he looks like a Vezina candidate.

Not so fast, they took it away and gave it to Tangradi

 

[Gnova]

Lol. The World Championship that some players go to after the season doesn't count as playoffs.
