After missing all of training camp, Jets associate coach Jamie Kompon will return to the bench for this evening's season opener at the Honda Center. Kompon's wife Tina continues her battle with cancer and this morning the coaching staff wore jackets that had a logo that included a pink ribbon and the initials TK.

it's only game 1 they have plenty of time to gain their footing

[M.O.A.B.]

someone need to wakeup Helle

[HardCoreBlue]

For fecks sake. Overall dominating but down 2-0. Gibson’s positioning so far is lights out.

[captaincanuck12]

Anaheim fortunate with their chances.  Still lots of hockey, but Jets need to get the next goal.

[HardCoreBlue]

Did I hear right that Mason Mactavish played in a senior men’s league last year? Nice he gets his first NHL goal against us although upon further review the whistle did indeed go prior to him tapping it in. Not sure what they meant by the puck was in motion as the whistle  went so good goal? 

[HardCoreBlue]

McTavish first period interview not what the interviewee probably thought it would go after McTavish saying he found out he was playing tonight while going to the washroom. McTavish thought that was a funny story. Yup he’s 18. Lol.

Kconn puts us on the board

[Goalie]

Jets with lots of turnovers and altho not spending lots of time in own zone... need work big time. Defensively our forwards need to help out more still. 

Also don't get Pionk being our shooter on the pp so much... just doesn't have a good enough shot. 

I'd strongly look at switching Perfetti with Copp tho 

[TrueBlue4ever]

Power play doing everything but scoring. Chance #4 coming up. 

[Goalie]

Pionks shots wouldn't kill a pigeon. Neither would wheelers 

[Goalie]

I hated these games as a goaltender.  5 6 7 minutes with no shots against.  Tough. Seriously easier with a shot every minute or multiple than one every 6 or 7 minutes 

26 is such a liability on line 1. Yeesh. 

Bad lazy penalty 

[Goalie]

And bad penalties cost u goals. 

Time for me to check out. 

[Noeller]

Thank Christ there's an Oilers game to watch. Jets look awful tonight. 

[Goalie]

Jets looked great until Anaheim scored. Then downhill. Wheeler should be benched for his giveaways and selfish penalties.  Just 1 game but... 10 15 more like this and bye bye Maurice. Jets expectations very high... very very high. Maurice either gets the job done or he's gone. I'll guess if Jets outside playoffs by US Thanksgiving he's gone

What a shock. 40 minutes into the season and you want Maurice and Wheeler gone. What, did they steal your lunch money in grade school?

Expectations are high. I don't want either gone... why get butthurt for stating facts... Maurice Is done If Jets fail this season.  Wheeler doesn't belong on line 1 anymore. 

Meh.. how bout another 10 years with no winning? I mean pretty obvious Maurices ass is on the line this season

You’ve had Maurice’s ass on the line since 2017. And you’ve had Wheeler as washed up for about the same time. You totally want them gone. It’s your refrain every year. 

[blue_gold_84]

Brutal showing last night. Nobody really stood out and the Jets were mostly awful in their own end without the puck. Powerplay was the only real bright spot, IMO. Gibson made sure there was no damage done, though.

The hyperbole and panic over one game is a bit much. Remember 2017-18 when this team started out the gate poorly? There are 81 games left to play. On to San Jose.

[bustamente]

Just a reminder that the Bolts lost their home opener to a team missing two of the best players in the world, not saying the Jets are Stanley Cup champions or even contenders but they will win more than they lose this year, last night was just one of those games.

[BomberBall]

Yup, no need to lose our minds over the 1st game… It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t very good.  Wheeler assisted on Connor’s goal, but other than that he was terrible.  I thought Stanley and Copp also had poor showings.  Ehlers looked good and should get more ice.  Dillon had some solid hits… Hopefully that kind of play runs off on Stanley.  On to SJ.

[Goalie]

I think outside of a tiny sample last year vs not so good cdn teams... copp can't keep up with Dubois and Ehlers.  Don't get the hesitation to put Perfetti with them and copp back with Lowry 

CSW 

PDE 

Stastny Lowry copp

Harkins Nash Svech/ves 

 

Little more balance imo
