Round 1 - Game 1 : @ Edmonton

[HardCoreBlue]

Wondering what tone the Refs will set? Will they let them play or will they call 2 minutes for looking at McDavid inappropriately?

McDavid is going to get his calls; that much you can count on.

All good as long as they're legit.

Do not put a force field around him.

[Noeller]

McDavid calls come from him being so much faster than even the next fastest guy in the league. Ends up drawing a lot of hooks, trips, slashes and interference... He also takes a ton of abuse that doesn't get called. He's just much less of a whiner than Crosby.

No PLD or no Ehlers.      Ehlers is tough to replace, so hopefully the top line is on fire tonight.

PLD hasn't been that impactful of a player, but I have noticed that he plays a much more physical game.  I see him hitting most chances he gets.  I agree that the jets need to be more physical and that's the key to slowing McDavid down.

8pm start... GO JETS GO

Copp looked very good and scored quite a bit last while....

They need to Perrault to match up with McDavid and hope he can be distracted.

Wait...youre not matching Scheif against McDavid?

Let's give those Oilers something to be afraid of

[BomberBall]

If we can keep the Oilers at 0 shots, I think we have a chance.

[iHeart]

damn you Josh Archibald

[iHeart]

No score and considering that we are up against the Oilers, I'll take it

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Good, really good first period.

[captaincanuck12]

thank you poolman

Jets slower and not hitting in the 2nd. Simple plays not being made to get out of their zone. But Mike Smith having trouble controlling high shots and it leads to the rebound goal by Poolman.

what a stressful remainder of the second

Yeah, that was a poor period by the Jets.  Glad we tied it up, but man, got to be better in the 3rd.  Need some sustained O zone time.

[HardCoreBlue]

If this play by play guy says time and space once more my head is going to pop off my shoulders.

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Tied after 2 will take it. Just hope its not another late 3rd period goal.

[TrueBlue4ever]

All year the 2nd period was by far the Jets’ worst against the Oilers. On average for the 9 games they were outshot 14-9. Tonight was 16-8 Oil. The good news is that the 3rd period was typically the Jets’ best on average with an 11-8 shot advantage. Now they just need to find a way to win a close one going into the 3rd. 

[TrueBlue4ever]

If the refs aren’t going to call that McDavid hook on Wheeler I don’t see them getting an even up power play this game. But we have a phantom goal!!!!!

[MOBomberFan]

Stanley!!! What a cannon blast

[iHeart]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KEEP THIS LEAD!!!
