How did the dog die then?

Jets salt away their 11th straight win with Scheifele’s empty netter. Honestly, not their best performance tonight, got caught running around on their d zone at times, missed offensive opportunities despite Ottawa giving them a bunch of odd man rushes. And the power play has suddenly gone cold. But a workmanlike 3rd period limiting shots. Hopefully this non-taxing game gives them a better shot tomorrow against the banner boys.

Even if part of it is in French, at least there will be no anthem booing tonight.

We can blame Buck for the ridiculous Grey Cup scheme that used the league MOP as a decoy rather than actually run the ball. Was quietly very happy when BC scooped him up to be the head coach. I put a lot of the last Cup loss on Pierce’s game plan.

Thank you @Mark H.

Wondering if a mod could pin this topic for the time being, as updates will occur daily.

With any kind of win tonight, Jets guarantee that they will finish ahead of San Jose in the standings this year (has been a foregone conclusion for months, but tonight would make it official).

Jets 1.0 had a nine game winning streak (and combining the playoffs, a 15 game undefeated streak) back in 1984-85, but for the Thrashers/Jets2.0 franchise, 9 is the record. They had 8 to open this season and 8 to close last season (technically a 16 game win streak spanning two seasons, but the league does not regard that as one streak) and another 7 gamer this year.

I don’t think the effort was as lousy as portrayed here. Jets dominated good stretches and it showed in the shots (the double minor late made the shot gap closer than the zone time would suggest). They should have buried another two or three in the third period alone, Hofer and puck luck kept the.Blues in it, then a fluky broken stick leads to the double minor. Jets deserved the win, overcame some bad puck luck IMO. Having said that, I won’t disagree on Pionk’s struggles and Stanley’s usual deficiencies.

No problem! If one of the mods wants to pin this topic I will update it daily without the need for bumping it

Depends on the match-up. Despite their flaws, Jets have had some brutal first round pairings the last few years (St. Louis who were on a heater and won the Cup, Edmonton who we swept, Vegas who won the Cup, and our reward for a 110 point season last year was playing the 106 point Avs who were two years removed from winning the Cup). No one seems to factor that in when considering our ouster each year. Hopefully we see Vancouver, Calgary, or even Minnesota in round one this year.

I hope Helle plays well, but God I want Canada to shut this crowd up.

Just heard Chantal Kreviasiuk sing Oh Canada, and after that I never want to hear whining about how bad Stacy Nattress is again.

13:29 left in the 3rd. Shortly after Ford’s goal. Faceoff in the Bruins’ end and on the left side of the screen a fan has words and gets shoved down in the aisle by another, jumps up and starts wrestling, and a few punches are thrown, drawing a crowd and security.

Jets will be the top team in the. NHL going into their match with the Caps on Saturday.

KFC with the empty net shorty wraps it up. Beantown beatdown indeed with another 3rd period onslaught Bruin fans saying boo-urns to their team. Couldn’t happen to a better fanbase.

Yep. Scuffle between a couple of fans caught on camera. Empty net up by 3. Does Helle feel lucky?

The Rat gets an early shower for whining.

And the Bruin fans are fighting each other in the stands now.

Parker Ford can’t lose…..but he can score!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a short-handed goal ties it up, The NHL’s second leading goal scorer (who will NOT be playing i. The 4 Nations Cup, BTW), answers right back. And Eglers goes bang-bang and the Jets are back up by 2!

Tip in by Scheifele on the floater from Pionk and the Jets do go up by 2. FYI speaking of a redux, in the last game against Boston (8-1 win), Namestnikov scored the opener on a tap-in into an open cage on the power play, And Scheifele also scored for a 2-0 first period lead.

Bullet shot by JoMo but Perfetti offside by a foot wipes out a quick 2-0 lead.
