Everything starts in the trenches and moves out from there.

If this does end bad, start with the GM first then have them review the coaching/scouting staff from top to bottom.. Chevy has used up all his mulligans imo.

I knew you'd swoop in with a comment like this sooner or later. lol

Oh I’m sure you and I would be schooled by the Jet professionals who would pat us both on the heads and tell us amateurs that nothing changed just bad breaks and bounces a few breakdowns blah blah blah. Just another reminder of being a loyal hardcore Jet fan is a challenging chore but we persevere.

Yup to the casual fan it literally looked like they gave up and abandoned how they were playing up to that point.

It wasn’t an ass kicking until that double minor high sticking penalty in the third when the Avs then scored just over 2 minutes into the penalty. Then the Jets brains and wills broke in two. Overall it was a pretty good road game till then. Very disappointing. Just can’t move from good to great in a progressive and consistent way.

Not for 2 and a bit periods they didn’t. Will be interesting what the Jet coaches and players say about this game.

5 goals in the third. If they roll over on Sunday and lose in 5 or 6 we remain average. I still have hope but at what point does the GM feel the heat?

Ahhh to be a Jet fan. Only down 2-1 but if they roll over on Sunday all eyes on Chevy.

Interesting that they didn’t call the high stick originally but go back to the tape and call it ignoring of course the trip while reviewing the tape. Ffs

Exactly what I was thinking. Happens in the middle of the ice in the offensive zone two refs on the ice no call.

Three obvious things to me: Clean faceoff (clean being the key word) wins by Avs need to stop. We need to make the Avs pay for their aggressive D play. SM needs to finish. Need to treat this like a regular season third period and good things will happen.

Pionk turnstiled by 29. Jets overall came to play. Middle frame ours for the taking.

Great start overall but with a few horrible giveaways. Down by 1 but way better. We’re in this.

Imho the first 5-7 minutes will tell us everything about how this game will go. Im begging the Jets to dictate early and let the Avs know they are not going to enjoy this game. I think Perfetti checks in at some point this series.

But he’s good for hockey, he’s a character, he’s blah blah blah Nope he’s a thug, a marketing gimmick to get money out of knuckle draggers.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Here, compliments of probably the best offensive defenseman in the league right now, a blueprint for a Jet win tonight: "It's just going to have to be getting better at everything we're doing. Making sure that we play to our strengths," Cale Makar said.

The first 10 minutes, heck the first 5 minutes of this game, will tell us if the Jets commit to dictating how this game will be played for their success. If we see the same pattern as we saw from the first two games and Helle is average, ruh roh.

Not that the Jet Nation is innocent when it comes to this (insert me grabbing my pearls) but hey I just really dislike the Leafs. 🙂 Sorry not sorry?

So I assume Utah will be winning the Stanley Cup next year courtesy of Bettman and company? Wait, they're not an expansion team. Forget it.
