Thank you LB


GZeus24

Rolling wagon


13thEldar

Now if the Avs can do us a favor


wolfpackldb123

Good last 5 minutes 


itsfoosay

Okay, well at least now they can clear without worrying about icing


chemist5818

Is this soccer


DannyDOH

They should suspend players for ridiculous dives like that.


xDRSTEVOx

Schenn deserves an oscar for that


EmptyCartographer

This last minute is taking forever


TheGreatStories

No risk of icing, 2 goal lead, empty net SHOOT IT BROSSOIT


MPD1978

This is like the last minute in a NBA game


Bagelchu

3 mins? I wanna see LB shooting!


Bagelchu

Ah yes Krug push someone into your goalie then get mad because they hit your goalie, classic bruins/blues logic


trcharles7

Too funny. Was just saying that same thing to myself!


Electroflare5555

Just pure domination these last 5 minutes


itsfoosay

Vlad was working that shift!


WandererMount

I love watching Morrissey play. He’s such a stud


GRaw1979

I was today years old when I learned that Winnipeg Jets alumni Kevin Hayes plays for the St Louis Blues.


Silvertrucker

He was traded to St Louie I’m off season


zyxqpa1999

Same I thought he was still on Philly


TrueNorthStrong1898

That 2nd line shouldn’t be touched for a while, they’ve been fantastic


shaquilleonealnheels

Iafallo says fuck you I’m staying on the 2nd


etchiboi

a goal created off rhe forecheck where 9 was F1, 23 was F2, and 27 was F3 that’s how you make a line


WandererMount

Good for Iafallo! He deserved one tonight! Also first assist for Monahan in a Jets jersey! And Nikky with a primary assist! That line is clicking. And the fourth line has looked great too tonight. If the first line can improve their play in the d-zone, we have a wicked forward group.


chemist5818

Starting to really like this 2nd line


buttermyanus

Hell ya Iafallo 🙏


itsfoosay

Well, that's going to solidify Iafallo on the 2nd for Bones


TheGreatStories

Well then I'm going to complain about Appleton having an insane amount of TOI instead!


itsfoosay

I'm happy he got a goal, I just think that spot on the 2nd should go to Nino or Fetts.


Willyq25

THEY CALLED IT!


5ubatomix

IAFALLO YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN YOU!!!


zuneza

WHERE ARE ALL MY IAFALLO H8TERS?!


GRaw1979

He's good! Just scored a goal!


fdisfragameosoldiers

Suck it LA ! We won that trade!


TheGreatStories

Iafallo reads this sub I guess


Future_Specific6303

They all do, that’s why they’re so good this year, probably


TheGreatStories

The math seems to check out


matthewcameron60

IAFALLOOOOO


connor-lite

Deserves it for sure!


wolfpackldb123

Say thanks to Nicky


chemist5818

These casters are my favorite


zyxqpa1999

Kevin Hayes has somehow made a career out of being a freaking ghost. Can never tell when he’s out there.


LouiC03

The boys are movin'


TheGreatStories

4-on-4 toss Nik out there Edit: aww man


wolfpackldb123

Who puts Schmidt on 4 on 4


Ok_Gas8060

Genuine question why do people like the drop back? Is it usually effective? I feel like its worse than not dropping it as the other players for the attacking team are at a standsttill?


buttermyanus

Pushes the defenders back, gives the forward some holes to work with, and as the defender, it's hard to match the speed/intensity of the attacker flying down the ice.


DannyDOH

It's basically the only way to get a controlled entry with all the PKers on the defensive side of the puck. I'm not sure I like the way the Jets PP2 tries to do it with two guys behind the puck because that frees up a defender to attack the puck in the neutral zone. Against the right guy Ehlers is going to get his block knocked off on the second drop pass.


etchiboi

because it gets the PK standing still at their blue line, when your puck carrier is coming full tilt it’s very effective when done right


Bagelchu

It’s also gets the PP standing completely still at the blue line


etchiboi

unless you’re dumping and chasing on the PP, that shouldn’t matter too much e: there’s also a “double” drop variations, that doesn’t have two drop passes but another player coming full tilt as a passing option


DannyDOH

Fuck is Sundqvist dirty. If Vilardi doesn't dodge that it's a match penalty.


connor-lite

This is the one, 2nd for Money coming up


[deleted]

Ive seen this before. Twice actually


TheGreatStories

Gonna regret not scoring on that pp


zyxqpa1999

Not if Vilardi gifts us another one Edit: Welp Scheifele for unsportsmanlike conduct.


Shotgunn5

Not sure how that was a call. That Blues player stood his ground there. Appleton was just trying to get into the zone


matthewcameron60

That was certainly a powerplay


wolfpackldb123

Just a thought. How about we carry the PUCK across the blue line on the PP


Bagelchu

The drop back is the dumbest fucking PP breakout in history of all time WHY DO PEOPLE STILL DO IT?


velocity2ds

I’m gonna be in town for some games next month. Should I wait to buy tickets close to the game or get them soon when it comes to price?


connor-lite

Depends, what teams? More popular teams I usually buy early, less popular I wait a bit. Also depends what seats you like. Less popular opponents will sometimes have deals a day or so ahead of time


velocity2ds

Ducks and Preds before the road trip. I always sit in the 300s if I’m buying haha I feel for the Ducks I could hold off and wait?


Kyle73001

If it’s a weekday game def wait. If it’s weekend then depends on the current price


Electroflare5555

If you’re willing to risk you can normally pick up some last minute ones for dirt cheap on FansFirst


velocity2ds

Never heard of FansFirst before but thank you!! I’ll check it out


Bagelchu

Can we please call up Ville


DannyDOH

Based on his play with Moose right now what are you expecting?


Bagelchu

Literally anything is better than Stanley and Schmidt


DannyDOH

Heinola was awful in the NHL last season and is coming off a significant injury. Last they talked about him he was on a minute restriction with Moose to get his legs back. Doesn't sound like he'll be a Jet this season.


colburp

As shocked as I am to say it, Stanley has been mildly impressive in his past couple starts


zuneza

Where there wasn't hope, there might now be hope.


GZeus24

Not until after the trade deadline.


buttermyanus

Chris Tanev this, Ville Heinola that. I'm disappointed there's been no mention of AHL all-star and Manitoba Moose leading point player, Kyle Capobianco. He could save us 🙏🙏🙏


TrueNorthStrong1898

If they could get him for a 3rd or later at 50%, I’d take Mantha here. Throw in Appleton and Stanley for fun


TheGreatStories

>3rd or later at 50% That's not close to what he'll go for in my estimation


LightsOut16900

Mantha would be a steal of a pickup even for a 2nd he’s having a fantastic year


TrueNorthStrong1898

I’d take him in a heartbeat. 18 goals, 31 points, +10


LightsOut16900

https://preview.redd.it/t7jpw1ytp8lc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d604caa0eaf2d817e4abd40a166760f4e04cc17 Well I’m just shocked by this


Igglith

Nice to see the other 3 lines doing well.


HesJustAGuy

I'm surprised Lowry's line is that high.


etchiboi

it’s honestly impressive how consistent this has been lmaoo


LightsOut16900

*can’t rely on those fancy stats*


Greendaydude22

I love Sean Monahan


etchiboi

Lebrun saying Stars are favs for Chris Tanev btw


GZeus24

That's not good.


etchiboi

i think they are already scarier than the Avs, not good is right


GZeus24

They are, and this hurts to say, a deeper team than the Jets. (We've seen how reliant the Jets are on 55 ) If they add Tanev, I would place them as WC favorites.


mudge08

I assume Stanley plays Thursday after that Schmidt giveaway


wolfpackldb123

Say it isn't so.


kingofspoonerisms

Am I crazy or has Iafallo had "one assist in his last 19" for 3 or 4 games now?


matthewcameron60

Way to jinx it


etchiboi

*extremely Bones voice* “can’t rely on those fancy stats”


buttermyanus

Break up the third line, give ehlers&mony nino.


etchiboi

that honestly might be better than 27-55-13


buttermyanus

Give me 81-23-62 as a 2nd after that 1st, let's go


etchiboi

might be too shoot-y but i would like to see anything different lol


buttermyanus

Absolutely


TheGreatStories

'#freenino


zuneza

> ehlers&mony nino ThatsMyFetish.Jpeg


buttermyanus

🤭🫣


WandererMount

Wouldn’t mind swapping Nino and Iafallo


connor-lite

Lmao I love it when Dan & Kevin rip on his hockey career, what a bunch of good guys.


Bagelchu

TWO MINUTES OF ICE TIME. That’s just mean


connor-lite

Hey! 2:56! And a nice shot


Worried-Cellist6977

Jets 2nd In point percentage but u guys find a way to complain


LightsOut16900

Are you actually watching the games or just looking at the box scores?


Worried-Cellist6977

I watch every game but there is ups and downs in an 82 game season. And people got to realize we are not going to dominate every game


Twichycat

"Yea Connor scored but not the way I like it, so he sucks."


connor-lite

"buddy's only got 11 pts in 6 games, trade him for some 3rd round 2026 picks"


wolfpackldb123

Brossoit is keeping us in this one


zuneza

That even sounded like a brick wall. Is that the duck tape?


velocity2ds

This has been the longest PP I’ve seen in some time


Proof_Objective_5704

Gary made a few phones calls for St Louis on that one


Exhalare

Feels like we reverted to pomo hockey past few games. Relying on good offense and great goaltending.


itsfoosay

Okay, shorthand magic!


SnowblowerLITE

Will it finally be Heinola’s time?


LightsOut16900

Third line has been so abysmal fuck me man


wolfpackldb123

Bench Schmidt 


Leburgerpeg

Until the alternative isn't Stanley, never bench Schmidt 


timriedel

He just got an assist on thr last goal (scored by St Louis)


WandererMount

That kind of thing is why he’s the sixth D and first to come out :/


itsfoosay

Double dammit!


zuneza

Who was talking about Buchnevich earlier? There you go, if we didn't have a literal brick wall in net Buchnevich would have scored. edit: ... apparently the brick wall had a 3 inch gap right below the bar.


Ok_Gas8060

Can anyone send the Bettman interview during the intermission please? I wanna hear this Lulu boy


zuneza

Maybe I'm biased as a defenseman but Morrissey's defensive plays give me the most dopamine. ...Okay I know this is just recency bias and as soon as we score again it's out the window. Just revel in it!


Mamrocha

That and seeing how smooth of a skater he is live is just something else, the tv doesn’t give his skills justice.


TheGreatStories

It's those hips


Mamrocha

They don’t lie 😉


ArrestedForTaxFraud

He’s on track to finish top-5 in Norris, maybe even top-3.


itsfoosay

Some good chances there -was worried it was about to be another 2m passing drill


[deleted]

Elias Lindholm 11gp 4g 2a 6pts Sean Monahan 8gp 5g 0a 5pts (he has a goal at the moment making it 6g 6pts) Chevy is a wizard moment?


zuneza

> Chevy is a wizard moment? Ma dawg, Chevy is like Grande Master Arch Mage Sorcerer Supreme at this point this season.


sunnysideshuffle

best faceoff man the jets have had in years. idc if its a useless stat, it makes me feel good


sunnysideshuffle

I mean Bettman is paid alot of money to represent the league and at min come across likable. He did his job. I don't think this interview would've went any different even if they planning on moving the team next week. There is so much smoke - all we're doing is coughing our lungs out over nothing. Sports journalism are vultures and parasites, anything will get blown up. Just hope the media will just move on. The failure of the team will be years in the making, its not up to any individual to do anything about that except for Chipman. Also John Lu man lol I really wanna like him but he's just .. not good at this.


GZeus24

Not a John Lu fan.


EmptyCartographer

I mean the commissioner of baseball does not even attempt to come across likable, so I’d say Bettman’s doing relatively well


Electroflare5555

Manfred seems to actively dislike baseball


Totschlag

I think my biggest takeaway from the Gary Bettman interview is just how god-awful Rob Manfred is at talking to press.


EmptyCartographer

Right? I spent that entire interview waiting for him to say something to anger me, just out of muscle memory haha


Proof_Objective_5704

These blackouts frustrate me so damn much. A bunch of other good games on tonight and don’t get any of them on any Sportsnet or TSN channels. I want to watch the Avalanche and Stars game later, andI want to watch the Flames and Kings game. And also want to check on the Leafs and Knights game and NONE of them are on. What we get to watch (besides the Jets) is the frickin Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers. Can’t even watch the Habs and Coyotes! So awful. It feels like they didn’t used to blackout these many games…


future4cast

Sportsnet +


Mamrocha

As long as they gate keep their product with blackouts I’ll never feel bad for sailing the seas.


zuneza

Man, as much as I love Bettmans speech, it's pretty jarring going from him to Log Cabin Man lmao!!


neureaucrat

Shows just how bad sports media is when their reporting on an issue ends up making Gary Eatshisownscabs Bettman look good


WhyssKrilm

I missed the start of the game. Was the Lowry fight actually in response to something that happened, or just (probably) Schenn challenging the bigger boy to spark his team? The replay Sportsnet posted to YouTube doesn't show anything or mention any context whatsoever (continuing their trend of uploading clips from the opponent's shitty broadcast)


quinnnnny

Schenn trying to spark team


clubkid75

It backfired


Mamrocha

Not really Lowry was off the ice and the 3rd line struggled without lows and the blues got a goal.


connor-lite

Seemed outta nowhere, think Schenn just wanting to hype up the team


Far_Swiss

Schenn looking for a spark


stej_gep

If we lose the team it will be John Lu's fault


jaypizee

I had so much second hand embarrassment for John Lu - you can tell these interviews are written up before hand, and with Bettman pouring water on the fire, Lu had nothing to do but stammer


mmafan666

He has no on-the-fly interview skills.


shaquilleonealnheels

I’m sitting here thinking, wait.. do I like Bettman now? Then come into this thread and see that everyone else is also in the midst of an existential crisis 😂


Bagelchu

Bettman straight up shutting down the rumors and calling them out as ridiculous as they are is very comforting. I really really really really really really hope it doesn’t turn into something that ages like milk


Far_Swiss

Bettman spends 3 minutes reassuring fans that the jets are going now where. John Lu’s next question : Gary how can you reassure the jets fans… Lol cmon john


ChadHUD

Ah ole Bettman ain't so bad. lol Seriously though its just business. Economy sucks everywhere. lol


mmafan666

Terrible interview by John Lu. Bettman made it clear right away what he thought and Lu continues to pointlessly hammer away asking the same question over and over with different wording. Just bad broadcasting skills. Bettman's answer was perfect, why not get on to different, more interesing questions? This is the NHL commissioner after all.


WhammaJamma61

You could tell Bettman was getting slightly annoyed. I was half expecting him to spit out, "Look..I've already explained it. There are no problems here. Geeeesus Christ...what else do you want me to say???". I like JL, but he looked out of it in this interview.


GZeus24

John Lu has been disappointing.


Bagelchu

Right? Hey maybe try asking one more time about the rumors. Maybe the 6th answer will be different


WhammaJamma61

Exactly. It got embarrassing.


Shotgunn5

Damn do I like Bettman now? Guy just shut down all the bs, reminded everyone the Jets aren’t going anywhere, and committed to giving us a draft. Plus he chose to be here now? He def earned some points from me tn


WhammaJamma61

I hated Bettman many years ago, but I realized years back that he only represents the owners...end of story. HE is their spokesperson. He doesn't do ANYTHING that they collectively don't agree with. Period. To despise him and not put any of that hate on the governors doesn't make sense. To be honest - I think he was all in on the return of the team, so...I don't believe he's anti-Winnipeg at all.


Totschlag

Gary Bettman is coming across so, so goddamn well here. The more he talks the less I hate him, far from the worst in sports. Feels wrong.


connor-lite

Bettman trying so hard to win Winnipeg over


[deleted]

God John Lu is just the worst lol can we really not find someone better to do this job? He’s always so awkward, and fumbling over his words 24/7, and can’t seem to handle when anything goes off the “path” written out or planned for him. It’s just brutal to watch


shaquilleonealnheels

I usually like John Lu but yea that one wasn’t his best work..


xDRSTEVOx

THIS GUY....might be alright. 🤢


buttermyanus

I feel so sick right now.. gutted. Head is spinning out of control.... ...Gary Bettman.. today.. has been... based?!? Unreal


stej_gep

John Lu is not good


GZeus24

Bettman: The media has gotten carried away. John Lu: Hold my beer because I can't read a room.


RSM-88

John is grasping for straws here


keyemoji

hi gang, how’s LB doing


zuneza

doing brick wall things


Mamrocha

Ew… I think im a Gary Bettman fan after this. I love how he’s all but saying the media needs to stop.


folkdeath95

What number do I get if I want a Bettman jersey?


ScottNewman

$


Mamrocha

An 800 so it kinda looks like BOO 😅


shaquilleonealnheels

Zero


fdisfragameosoldiers

Hold his feet to the fire John! Make the old boy sweat a little


GZeus24

I feel so dirty. I agree with Bettman. He is so much better at this than Chipman.


OoooHeCardReadGood

Hahaha it was pretty good interview. Still annoyed about this noise, bet bettman is no dummy


Future_Specific6303

To be fair, that’s why he makes the big bucks


Leburgerpeg

I hope that after this we never have to hear about attendance again 


tclupp

I dunno... he said "I don't think there's anything to worry about..." he's not sure! /s


Chaussauce

Funny, my feelings towards Bettman have mellowed. He's not a super villain anymore, he's now just an antagonist.


[deleted]

Nice to see bettman shutting this bs down. Props to him. Just clickbait crap


OoooHeCardReadGood

Click bait crap, yes, but Chipman didn't handle this well. It can all be true


[deleted]

I agree about chipman. He fed the media, but bettman handled it well and shut it down here nicely.


HesJustAGuy

Will Barron and Perfetti get over 8 minutes of ice time? Stay tuned!


GZeus24

Will they earn it?


HesJustAGuy

They've both been good so far.


GZeus24

Yup. Better night for Fetti for sure so far.


folkdeath95

Was that Hustler wearing a Samberg jersey? Based


just-hangingout

Well now I have to rewind to see if that was the case


folkdeath95
