You would think the Canes will be an ornery bunch considering how their last few games have gone.

It would be nice to add to their woes at least for one more game.

Like this line up ...

Jets going streaking now. Jets beat the Jerks earlier so let's do it again but this time in North Cackalacki

Line up looks strong. Don't like Wheeler tho. So slow. Wonder if Dubois ever comes back, they just bump wheels with Barron and Lowry. 

Connor Scheif Nino 

Ehlers namestnikov Dubois 

Barron Lowry Wheeler 

4th line of 3 of the rest. Apples on the RW. So center and LW.

A Ritter shutout would be something eh. 

Would love to see it

Win and we’re in … OK times a few more 😁

[Goalie]

79 points. 67 games. Gotta think 94 96 guarantees you a spot. 

So... 15 games. 30 potential points. Get them all? We really good. That's not gonna happen tho... 

Win 10 of last 15 = 99 points (in for sure) 

Win 9 = 97 points. (Probably should make it)

Win 8 = 95 points.( its close but 96 would be better

Win 7 = 93 (tough to say here)

Less = Probably not 

10 wins guarantee a spot Probably.  Anything less? It's gonna be tight. 

To add to the Canes woes Andrei Svechnikov is done for the year with knee surgery.

Morrissey is apparently a game time decision, but I think the fact that he was on the ice this morning is a good sign.

If we could get at least 1 more point tonight, that would go a long way for the teams confidence, heading back home to face Boston.   

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Looking at final games I would say Nash has the toughest sched remaining(6-12). I have both WPG and CAL roughly the same(9-6) down the stretch but after Florida my blinders are awfully positive

Bad zone exit, bad bounce, 1 nothing.

[captaincanuck12]

Jets looked alright from the bit I saw.  They almost tied the game.  Hopefully they get equalizer in the first part of the 2nd.

 

3-1 now... *Sigh*

Mark Scheifele's line didn't play another shift in the second period after giving up the Jesperi Kotkaniemi goal with 11:45 remaining in the frame. They've been on the ice for all three Hurricanes goals. - Murat

[BomberBall]

D zone turnovers have been the difference.

The Jets have also been on the wrong end of the bounces.  Big time.

[iHeart]

They could have done better

[captaincanuck12]

All things considered... 4 out of 6points on the road isn't too bad.  I thought for sure this team was going to go 0/6.  Got some hope down the stretch run

[BomberBall]

And we have to keep in mind, the team is playing without Morrissey, Dubois and Perfetti.

[blue_gold_84]

A lot of ugly mistakes last night - many by players who should know better at this stage in their professional careers.

It's interesting to see how this team ostensibly expects the goalie to bail them out on the regular. That attitude needs to change.

Nashville remains the team I believe can/will knock the Jets out. It's all on Helle because defense isn't really happening and we're still struggling to score.

If they can make the playoffs having to play these teams(CHI, BUF. STL, CAL, PIT, SEAx2, WPGx2, NYR, TOR, BOS, DAL, VGK, CAR, MIN, COL) to finish off the season then good on them. Only a couple of "gimmies" there.
