[iHeart]

6:15 start City TV

Great goal by Ehlers.

And Stanley IQ leads to tying goal.

[deepsixemtoboyd]

Yup

[Goalie]

St. Louis anthem singer is a great example of why they should not have anthems before nhl games. Star spangled banner goes hip hop. Just crazy. Sing the song. 

[captaincanuck12]

Amazing how much slower the game appears to be after watching the 4 nations.   Crazy

[captaincanuck12]

Fefe with a good play to Gabe and it's 2-1 Jets.

St Louis doesn't have 10 shots yet.  But they have had quality opportunities 

[Goalie]

2 2 but yes. Jets need to upgrade the D cuz Stanley in top 4 cuz one guy out is ridiculous 

[captaincanuck12]

Pionk stick explodes ..  and then promptly takes a dbl.minor.  this is the game here.

Just like watching regular season after the playoffs.

[captaincanuck12]

And that's game over.  St Louis has another pp.

Yup game over. 

[Goalie]

Nope. Vilardi ties it 

[captaincanuck12]

I stand corrected 

[Goalie]

Pionk ices it tho. This could cost us here. Almost but OT coming up.

Pionk has been awful today.  Stanley needs to get a one-way ticket out of Winnipeg

Pionk not a great last couple of series for him.

Seriously the D needs to be the priority at the deadline. Josh out and we suck. 

Comrie making some saves here. 

[Goalie]

Shootout. 1st of the year for the Jets. 

[captaincanuck12]

Don't like our shootout chances 

[Goalie]

1 point is good. See if Comrie can take the extra one. 
 

KC scores. 
 

Schenn needs to score and he doesn’t. 
 

Jets win.

9 straight victories.   Ugly win.  

[iHeart]

Vilardi helped the jets pull a rabbit out of their asses and we win 4-3 in a shootout

[Goalie]

Not the greatest game. But they won. I’ll give Comrie some props tonight. He was pretty good and is excellent value at his AAV and signed for next year. 
 

D needs major help. With Josh out it’s ugly. Samberg had a game tho. Pionk did not. Stanley is Stanley. Did heinola get 10 minutes? Miller?

3 Stars: 🥇 13 🥈 Thomas 🥉 81

Pionk was today years old when he learned you can get penalized twice on the same play.

Buchnevich? Parayko? How bout getting Thomas!

[TrueBlue4ever]

I don’t think the effort was as lousy as portrayed here. Jets dominated good stretches and it showed in the shots (the double minor late made the shot gap closer than the zone time would suggest). They should have buried another two or three in the third period alone, Hofer and puck luck kept the.Blues in it, then a fluky broken stick leads to the double minor. Jets deserved the win, overcame some bad puck luck IMO. Having said that, I won’t disagree on Pionk’s struggles and Stanley’s usual deficiencies.
