Nice work frosty.  Although the game is Thursday and you put Tuesday.

[BomberBall.]

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Ehlers-Namestnikov-Perfetti
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Anderson Dolan-Barron-Tanev

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Miller
Fleury-Stanley

Comrie
Hellebuyck
 

Not sure why they feel the need to get Anderson-Dolan in the lineup, but I’m glad to see they put the 2nd line back together.  Appleton and Lowry just don’t have the offensive skill.  Ehlers was doing all the work, offensively.

Schenn is a game time decision.  Hopefully Stanley has his head out of his ass, after his worst gaffe of the season.  But I guess it doesn’t really matter what he does… He plays.

2 points would be huge tonight.

Finishing first, home ice advantage with an ideal first round match-up is great but EOD as long as they're ready to go, prepped and focused come play-off time I'm less concerned with winning the remaining seven games and more focused on what they need to tinker with to get ready (PP, PK, Faceoffs, gearing up for a physical grind etc etc). Obviously if they lose out the remaining games in convincing ways this less concern becomes great concern.

You know. Playing Minnesota would be preferred to Colorado or St. Louis right now.

Well, I hope comrie has a bounce back effort after that game against the Sabres.  Pylon Giraffe needs to touch the puck as minimal as possible. 

Going to be a tough game.

[BomberBall.]

Super weak call on Miller.  If that’s the bar the refs are setting, there’s going to be a parade of players to the box.  But we know they are anything but consistent.

I guess I haven’t….. no idea what that means.

Sweet play by Iafallo.  Jets on the board.

[Goalie]

Scheifele scores. Iafallo bringing it. Props to Dolan and the 4th line tho bringing it also. 

Uh oh. Ehlers definitely hurt there. But still on bench. Blocked a shot.

A Lowsy goal. 2 0. 

[BomberBall.]

That was a real good period by the Jets.  Rinse and repeat boys.

[captaincanuck12]

Excellent first period.   Keep it rolling!

[Goalie]

Miller…… the big boom. 3 0.

Eric comrie coming up clutch.   He played like garbage against Buffalo and is lights out right now

[iHeart]

dammit Ehlers is down....again!

[iHeart]

this was a miracle night, this is the first time we've beat Vegas in quite some time like not since the 2023 playoffs.

[captaincanuck12]

Perfs ices it.

Comrie played unbelievable tonight. Made up for that Buffalo game in spades

And even more importantly, keeping the cushion between us and the stars

Great game boys!! Gives me hope for the playoffs!

3 Stars: 🥇 1 🥈 55 🥉 17

The Jets are one victory from breaking the franchise record. Their 52 wins tied the mark set last season and in 2017-18.

[HardCoreBlue]

Nice to see EC get the shut out. If CH continues his struggles in the playoffs ( a BIG hope not), wonder if EC gets a look? Probably not and hopefully it never comes to having this discussion.
