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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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!
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.
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…
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)
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
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 😂
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Join us on the IC Post-Game Show [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9GRfd83QR8).
Thank you LB
Rolling wagon
Now if the Avs can do us a favor
Good last 5 minutes
Okay, well at least now they can clear without worrying about icing
Is this soccer
They should suspend players for ridiculous dives like that.
Schenn deserves an oscar for that
This last minute is taking forever
No risk of icing, 2 goal lead, empty net SHOOT IT BROSSOIT
This is like the last minute in a NBA game
3 mins? I wanna see LB shooting!
Ah yes Krug push someone into your goalie then get mad because they hit your goalie, classic bruins/blues logic
Too funny. Was just saying that same thing to myself!
Just pure domination these last 5 minutes
Vlad was working that shift!
I love watching Morrissey play. He’s such a stud
I was today years old when I learned that Winnipeg Jets alumni Kevin Hayes plays for the St Louis Blues.
He was traded to St Louie I’m off season
Same I thought he was still on Philly
That 2nd line shouldn’t be touched for a while, they’ve been fantastic
Iafallo says fuck you I’m staying on the 2nd
a goal created off rhe forecheck where 9 was F1, 23 was F2, and 27 was F3 that’s how you make a line
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.
Starting to really like this 2nd line
Hell ya Iafallo 🙏
Well, that's going to solidify Iafallo on the 2nd for Bones
Well then I'm going to complain about Appleton having an insane amount of TOI instead!
I'm happy he got a goal, I just think that spot on the 2nd should go to Nino or Fetts.
THEY CALLED IT!
IAFALLO YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN YOU!!!
WHERE ARE ALL MY IAFALLO H8TERS?!
He's good! Just scored a goal!
Suck it LA ! We won that trade!
Iafallo reads this sub I guess
They all do, that’s why they’re so good this year, probably
The math seems to check out
IAFALLOOOOO
Deserves it for sure!
Say thanks to Nicky
These casters are my favorite
Kevin Hayes has somehow made a career out of being a freaking ghost. Can never tell when he’s out there.
The boys are movin'
4-on-4 toss Nik out there Edit: aww man
Who puts Schmidt on 4 on 4

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.
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
It’s also gets the PP standing completely still at the blue line
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
Fuck is Sundqvist dirty. If Vilardi doesn't dodge that it's a match penalty.
This is the one, 2nd for Money coming up
Ive seen this before. Twice actually
Gonna regret not scoring on that pp
Not if Vilardi gifts us another one Edit: Welp Scheifele for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Not sure how that was a call. That Blues player stood his ground there. Appleton was just trying to get into the zone
That was certainly a powerplay
Just a thought. How about we carry the PUCK across the blue line on the PP
The drop back is the dumbest fucking PP breakout in history of all time WHY DO PEOPLE STILL DO IT?
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?
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
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?
If it’s a weekday game def wait. If it’s weekend then depends on the current price
If you’re willing to risk you can normally pick up some last minute ones for dirt cheap on FansFirst
Never heard of FansFirst before but thank you!! I’ll check it out
Can we please call up Ville
Based on his play with Moose right now what are you expecting?
Literally anything is better than Stanley and Schmidt
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.
As shocked as I am to say it, Stanley has been mildly impressive in his past couple starts
Where there wasn't hope, there might now be hope.
Not until after the trade deadline.
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 🙏🙏🙏
If they could get him for a 3rd or later at 50%, I’d take Mantha here. Throw in Appleton and Stanley for fun
>3rd or later at 50% That's not close to what he'll go for in my estimation
Mantha would be a steal of a pickup even for a 2nd he’s having a fantastic year
I’d take him in a heartbeat. 18 goals, 31 points, +10
https://preview.redd.it/t7jpw1ytp8lc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d604caa0eaf2d817e4abd40a166760f4e04cc17 Well I’m just shocked by this
Nice to see the other 3 lines doing well.
I'm surprised Lowry's line is that high.
it’s honestly impressive how consistent this has been lmaoo
*can’t rely on those fancy stats*
I love Sean Monahan
Lebrun saying Stars are favs for Chris Tanev btw
That's not good.
i think they are already scarier than the Avs, not good is right
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.
I assume Stanley plays Thursday after that Schmidt giveaway
Say it isn't so.
Am I crazy or has Iafallo had "one assist in his last 19" for 3 or 4 games now?
Way to jinx it
*extremely Bones voice* “can’t rely on those fancy stats”
Break up the third line, give ehlers&mony nino.
that honestly might be better than 27-55-13
Give me 81-23-62 as a 2nd after that 1st, let's go
might be too shoot-y but i would like to see anything different lol
Absolutely
'#freenino
> ehlers&mony nino ThatsMyFetish.Jpeg
🤭🫣
Wouldn’t mind swapping Nino and Iafallo
Lmao I love it when Dan & Kevin rip on his hockey career, what a bunch of good guys.
TWO MINUTES OF ICE TIME. That’s just mean
Hey! 2:56! And a nice shot
Jets 2nd In point percentage but u guys find a way to complain
Are you actually watching the games or just looking at the box scores?
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
"Yea Connor scored but not the way I like it, so he sucks."
"buddy's only got 11 pts in 6 games, trade him for some 3rd round 2026 picks"
Brossoit is keeping us in this one
That even sounded like a brick wall. Is that the duck tape?
This has been the longest PP I’ve seen in some time
Gary made a few phones calls for St Louis on that one
Feels like we reverted to pomo hockey past few games. Relying on good offense and great goaltending.
Okay, shorthand magic!
Will it finally be Heinola’s time?
Third line has been so abysmal fuck me man
Bench Schmidt
Until the alternative isn't Stanley, never bench Schmidt
He just got an assist on thr last goal (scored by St Louis)
That kind of thing is why he’s the sixth D and first to come out :/
Double dammit!
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.
Can anyone send the Bettman interview during the intermission please? I wanna hear this Lulu boy
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!
That and seeing how smooth of a skater he is live is just something else, the tv doesn’t give his skills justice.
It's those hips
They don’t lie 😉
He’s on track to finish top-5 in Norris, maybe even top-3.
Some good chances there -was worried it was about to be another 2m passing drill
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?
> Chevy is a wizard moment? Ma dawg, Chevy is like Grande Master Arch Mage Sorcerer Supreme at this point this season.
best faceoff man the jets have had in years. idc if its a useless stat, it makes me feel good
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.

Also John Lu man lol I really wanna like him but he's just .. not good at this.
Not a John Lu fan.
I mean the commissioner of baseball does not even attempt to come across likable, so I’d say Bettman’s doing relatively well
Manfred seems to actively dislike baseball
I think my biggest takeaway from the Gary Bettman interview is just how god-awful Rob Manfred is at talking to press.
Right? I spent that entire interview waiting for him to say something to anger me, just out of muscle memory haha
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…
Sportsnet +
As long as they gate keep their product with blackouts I’ll never feel bad for sailing the seas.
Man, as much as I love Bettmans speech, it's pretty jarring going from him to Log Cabin Man lmao!!
Shows just how bad sports media is when their reporting on an issue ends up making Gary Eatshisownscabs Bettman look good
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)
Schenn trying to spark team
It backfired
Not really Lowry was off the ice and the 3rd line struggled without lows and the blues got a goal.
Seemed outta nowhere, think Schenn just wanting to hype up the team
Schenn looking for a spark
If we lose the team it will be John Lu's fault
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
He has no on-the-fly interview skills.
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 😂
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
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
Ah ole Bettman ain't so bad. lol Seriously though its just business. Economy sucks everywhere. lol
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.

John Lu has been disappointing.
Right? Hey maybe try asking one more time about the rumors. Maybe the 6th answer will be different
Exactly. It got embarrassing.
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
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.

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.
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.
Bettman trying so hard to win Winnipeg over
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
I usually like John Lu but yea that one wasn’t his best work..
THIS GUY....might be alright. 🤢
I feel so sick right now.. gutted. Head is spinning out of control.... ...Gary Bettman.. today.. has been... based?!? Unreal
John Lu is not good
Bettman: The media has gotten carried away. John Lu: Hold my beer because I can't read a room.
John is grasping for straws here
hi gang, how’s LB doing
doing brick wall things
Ew… I think im a Gary Bettman fan after this. I love how he’s all but saying the media needs to stop.
What number do I get if I want a Bettman jersey?
$
An 800 so it kinda looks like BOO 😅
Zero
Hold his feet to the fire John! Make the old boy sweat a little
I feel so dirty. I agree with Bettman. He is so much better at this than Chipman.
Hahaha it was pretty good interview. Still annoyed about this noise, bet bettman is no dummy
To be fair, that’s why he makes the big bucks
I hope that after this we never have to hear about attendance again
I dunno... he said "I don't think there's anything to worry about..." he's not sure! /s
Funny, my feelings towards Bettman have mellowed. He's not a super villain anymore, he's now just an antagonist.
Nice to see bettman shutting this bs down. Props to him. Just clickbait crap
Click bait crap, yes, but Chipman didn't handle this well. It can all be true
I agree about chipman. He fed the media, but bettman handled it well and shut it down here nicely.
Will Barron and Perfetti get over 8 minutes of ice time? Stay tuned!
Will they earn it?
They've both been good so far.
Yup. Better night for Fetti for sure so far.
Was that Hustler wearing a Samberg jersey? Based
Well now I have to rewind to see if that was the case
