That was a weak goal by Helle.  

And now the late power play against. Hold your breath. 

Jets’ flu vs Seattle’s back-to-back fatigue: which takes hold first?
To be fair Jets have carried the play and shot chances are almost 2:1, but Seattle’s transition odd-man rushes are killing us tonight. 

Jets playing well in the o zone but giving up more odd man rushes this game against.  It’s kinda seems every missed shot or Seattle save leads to 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 or breakaways. 

Seconded. 🙂

@FrostyWinnipeg love the thread title, I am making my pitch right now for Friday’s re-match thread to be titled “From SEA to shining SEA”

What TSN says is he never fumbled and never lost one. It does not mention turnovers on downs. And I know for a fact those stats are not completely accurate. In his one game as a Bomber rushing he failed on a 3rd and goal QB sneak attempt against Hamilton, and after that Dru Brown became the short yardage QB until they brought Prukop back and cut Pigrome. Once in Ottawa he failed on two more 3rd and short attempts. His most infamous gaffe was in a   3 point loss to the Ti-Cats where he had 3 cracks from the Hamilton 1 yard line to punch it in and got zero yards each time (in fact he fumbled the 2nd down play but his teammate recovered it). 

Just a reminder that Perfetti just turned 22 at the start of the year. This is his second full season and third overall. He had 8 goals, 22 assists last year for 30 points in 51 games, is 14-16-30 this year with a quarter season to go (on pace for 19-22-41). Scheifele by comparison at 22 was in his 4th season (2nd full) and had 15 goals, 33 assists, 49 points in a full 82 game season, and in his third year was 13 goals. 21 assists, 34 points in 63 games. So fairly comparable numbers, Scheifele a bit ahead. Way too early to call for a trade IMO.

Splitting hairs. He was also sued for assault that same night against a camera man, and was in an "altercation" with a woman afterwards. He just innocently walked over to the wrong house, went in, got cozy on the couch next to the female resident with no ill intentions. Not buying it. He traumatized this poor woman. He was charged with 1st degree criminal trespass which is a felony offence. This was later plea bargained down to a 2nd degree which made it a misdemeanor but that is likely the function of having an NFL player calibre lawyer.

Didn’t think there was any sexual component to it. He was drunk after a team party and walked into the wrong house. Got beaten up by the husband with a vacuum cleaner hose for sitting on their couch and rambling incoherently. Plead guilty to misdemeanour trespass. But hasn’t been convicted for being a sexual predator, AFAIK. 

Every once in a while, I like to gauge the intelligence level of the posters with an esoteric title to see how they respond. Thankfully, I won’t have to resort to knock knock jokes for the rest of the thread. Lol. 

For one possible answer, see the general (but not universal)  difference in reaction to Andrew Harris’ failed drug test and the justification that it was a tainted sample/useless old school steroid no one would take/so minimal in reading it was effectively useless and the corresponding response to Leonard’s test refusal (and therefore unknown what if anything he was on) in Saskatchewan and all the PED Leonard comments.

Good. Dallas owns the Jets so tanev not being available yet helps I liked tanev more 5 years ago. 10 years ago even. More. Did he not play for the moose? Vancouver’s farm team. So he’s been around a while. Veteran for sure. 
 We  stylistically don’t match well against Dallas for some reason tho. 
Dead Kennedys a solid punk band tho so not too soon at all. 

Game time - 7:00 pm, TSN 3
At stake - outright first in Central by night’s end
Side note - a Jets win and they will guarantee a better season record than the Blackhawks with 24 games still to go. 

Chris Tanev sorting out immigration issues so not available tonight. 

If you break down the clip, Whitney said it’s a player on a current playoff team, so it wouldn’t be Minny. Also, Biz asked “is this a team they could meet…” and Whitney answered “yes” before Biz finished with “in the first round” so it could be any current playoff team. Now, some more likely suspects arise, like Evander Kane in Edmonton (because I could see him running his mouth), or PLD in LA due to recent history with the club, but maybe it’s one of the Stars, since they have handled Winnipeg’s game well this year, or a Canuck after they arguably outplayed the Jets but lost last week and someone is bitter. But honestly the Jets seem OK playing a run and gun (like this past week where they have been scoring) or lock down defence (basically all of December and January) to win 2-1. And if healthy they can roll 4 lines and play either goalie with confidence, so I’d say they are well-built for the playoffs, and their special teams are now coming around with the addition of Monahan. But West is wide open this year, with any of 6 teams honestly not being a surprise if they make the Finals (and even LA has an outside shot of they re-discover their November swagger). Two very very good teams are going to get bounced in round one guaranteed based on the 2 vs 3 match-ups whatever they are. 

IIRC he never seemed to have his head in the game when he was here. I seem to remember one game where he (I’m pretty sure it was him and not another receiver) caught a pass in the flat about 5 yards from the sideline and then “let his momentum” take it out of bounds uncontested to avoid taking a hit, when he had about 30 yards of real estate in front of him before he would have encountered any would-be tacklers had he simply turned it upfield which he should have easily been able to do had he just looked up. That play received more boos than any drop (and there were several of those too) as it showed where his mental game was at. 

Ya done messed up, Ay-ay-ron. 🤣 Insubordinate…….and churlish.
