And of course Friesen finds a way to poo-poo on this current Jets' campaign: https://winnipegsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets/reckoning-coming-for-jets

So, he's whining that the team has had a handful of bad games (nay, periods) against some of the better competition in the league. And yet, the team's taken care of business otherwise, particularly against the bottom feeders.

WTF

We can discuss the finer points of the Jets and how they arent perfect but you arent the, what 5th best team in the league (with games in hand on those above you) after 30 games by accident.  It means you're good.  Undeniably good players + a top 5 record = you're a good team.

We can debate whether they are a cup calibre team right now.  But no one can debate they arent very good.

league has a lot more parity than people want to admit right now. No easy nights anywhere.

Might be only game 31 but this is a big test. The Oil are back people. Just like VGK.

[Noeller]

these games are brutal for me to watch..... have my Trouba jersey tee under my McDavid jersey today. I just hope for a 1-0 in a SO game and no injuries...

Keep McDavid off the scoreboard you'll win 9/10.

Sure but they still suck. Sorry it's hard being a hardcore Jet fan living in Oiler land. It brings me joy when they lose knowing it annoys some Oiler fans here and some posters on this board. They had their time in the 80's and 90's with no mercy on us Jet fans. It's our time now. They can wait their turn say another 20 years. Any grammar mistakes my apologies in advance.

I'd be fine with sweeping them four straight in Round One...

Dammit Helle wake up

EDM stupid for pulling goalie for extra guy with 3 seconds left in period IMHO.

Still EDM>WPG so far.

I'd say they look pretty evenly matched...  Jets fell asleep for a bit and Oil got some lucky bounces

[Noeller]

This is two of the best teams in the league right now. **** everything to do with the fLames and may they die like dogs in the street and their fans be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels.

Yeah... oilers aren't actually in the Jets' league sorry - Oiler are good enough under Hitch to squeak into the wild card... that's it.

Myers and Kulikov looking good - Myers really has got his act together since Morrow got hurt...

[FrostyWinnipeg]

OT

McDavid...oh shi...DING!

Morrissey...

thank you Morrissey for saving our butts

[Floyd]

Talbot salvages a point for Edmonton...  Jets are starting to really gel

Think I like the Perrault-Lowry-Tanev line better than the TLC line...

Gotta get me a new goat... Myers is on fire

 

[Floyd]

The only good thing about Jim Bender is that I read his tweets in Bender's voice...

Jets took over in the third period and didn't really look back. Morrissey's OT winner was a beauty.
