GDT: Winnipeg Jets @ Nashville p***ycats today at 6pm

[Howard Chuck]

Any indication if Heinola plays tonight?

Nobody in these parts is a Jets fan.

Hockey allegiance is never a deal-breaker when you're staring down 29 in a few months and you've got a baby sister (by 4 years) who has just announced her engagement.

And on that cheering note, time for a grocery run and prep for tonight.

Go Jets!

True, especially considering where you're living now

Honestly, finding the right person takes time. Some of us just get luckier faster than others! (pun intended)

Gotta find yourself a nice local Jets fan and do the long distance Internet dating thing

(I am kidding; I had friends do that and it's not easy, but they're married and still together so it does work out)

Aw, those poor kitties! Even felines are susceptible to heart attacks.

Unsolicited opinion: Went to see "Red One" last night and it's a frenetic ball of stupidity and childish humour. Mind you, my date wasn't much better. I'd advise giving both of them a miss.

Tonight promises to be a huge upgrade, going to see "Wicked" with a different guy. It does mean watching another Jets game on PVR and FF tomorrow but I'll be thinking of Little Eric tonight and wishing him every success in the net.

Go Jets!

Great minds think alike (see post 7)

Cats still suck

Especially those who wear yellow …….

Apparently he is playing with the moose tonight and joins the jets in Minnesota tomorrow.

Yes, I’m talking to myself

 

[winnipegger]

Yeah b2b games are tough and the preds will be fired up to take on the #1 team. However they have yellow jerseys so this gives us a clear fashion advantage. Bookies didn't take that into account did they.

Yellow jersey stand out
We are going to win. Jets only lost to teams that have blue in their jersey.
Wasn’t it Gretzky that said that he didn’t like playing teams that had uniform colors similar to his team. Cause he played so fast that he got confused who were this team mates?
I think it’s okay to compare this Jets edition to how Gretzky played

Betting odds are never about who a sports book thinks is going to win. It is about spitting the action so the built in house advantage guarantees them a profit. Blame the betting public.

Yup. They have it down to a science, which is why you typically don’t see a whole lot of movement from the opening line (I don’t typically see ML deviate more than 10-15 dollars from opening line).

**not a sports gambler, I maybe throw down a bet once every couple years, but I find the “science” and behaviour of sports betting interesting.

At one time in my career I worked along side the gambling industry. Actually part of my job was to teach the front line staff in the industry how it actually worked. Lots of misconceptions around gambling. And I never gamble other than picking up my wife the odd scratch ticket when she asks.

Hmmm.... I wonder if there's a banner for LAST place

Any indication if Heinola plays tonight?

Think his first game will be Minnesota if im not mistaken

 

[SUX2BU]

He’s joining the team in Minnesota

Doubt that he will be slotted in considered our record

 

[Shlep]

Arniel seems eager to get him in and he had no issue taking Fleury out for Stanley when we were undefeated.

I wonder if the Jets are with Helle on a b2b tonight

 

[Hank Chinaski]

I wonder if the Jets are with Helle on a b2b tonight

I wonder that as well. He had a pretty light workload last night.

 

[Do or Die]

Trap, shmap......just go down there and take out the trash...

 

[bustamente]

I wonder that as well. He had a pretty light workload last night.

If the Jets continue to gather points in the first half of the season he will have plenty of time for rest in the last month before the playoffs. Division game put the Predators so far behind they need binoculars to see the Jets

 

[KingBogo]

I wonder if the Jets are with Helle on a b2b tonight

I guess we won't know until warmups?

 

[bustamente]

I guess we won't know until warmups?

Yup no morning skate which usually indicates whose starting

 

[Jets 31]

I thought it was pretty interesting how Vilardi took most of the faceoffs last night out of the blue. He did a really good job too, love the option it looks like we know have. Arniel is doing such a good job with this team.

 

[Jets 31]

Hmmm.... I wonder if there's a banner for LAST place

Or one that says We played the best team in the league and lost.

 

[LowLefty]

That would be my guess and the likelihood of Comrie getting the start on the second night of the B2B might be enough to tip the odds their way.

The Comrie factor is strong (apparently)

 

[Gm0ney]

I'm still trying to figure out why Sid was so pissed... he's the guy who went to initiate contact.

What's considered "dirty" about a "reverse hit"? What's Connor supposed to do, just let Sid hit him?

I believe it's technically interference, although it might fall under the puck battle/body position exemption. They almost never call it...but it's a type of pick.

A “pick” is the action of a player who checks an opponent who is not in possession of the puck and is unaware of the impending check/hit. A player who is aware of an impending hit, not deemed to be a legal “battle for the puck,” may not be interfered with by a player or goalkeeper delivering a “pick.” A player delivering a “pick” is one who moves into an opponent’s path without initially having body position, SECTION 7 – RESTRAINING INFRACTIONSNATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE OFFICIAL RULES 2024-202588thereby taking him out of the play. When this is done, an interference penalty shall be assessed.​

 

[bustamente]

Reverse hits are interference pure and simple.
