Seeing employees being told to be at arena Wednesday and Friday.  So there’s a clue. 

Tickets on sale tomorrow (Tuesday)  morning at 10am, if you're hoping to get one or two.

I can't see him getting in right now but it's good to know we're getting healthier in case we need the depth. 

Practice for #NHLJets leading into Game 1 vs #mnwild:

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Stastny-Laine
Perreault-Little-Armia
Copp-Lowry-Tanev

Morrissey-Trouba
Morrow-Byfuglien
Chiarot-Myers

Hellebuyck
Mason
 

Who would have ever thought the Jets would field a strong lineup like that...

With a 'fifth line' of Matthias-Hendricks-Roslovic

Sixth line of 'Dano-Petan-Lemieux'

Or that not getting Brassard would be considered 'dodging a bullet'...

Dano was actually paired with Poolman today as the extra D pair

Yep....what a depth chart alright!!

If we HAVE to be picky... and I've liked Morrow thus far.... but D is a tad thin.  But that's being really picky.  

I suspect if we go far, we'll see Tobias Funke Enstrom in over Morrow.   Poolman seems competent enough to be our 7/8 guy.  

Impressive lineup.  

The report on the enemy....

 

I dont see Petan as a member of the Jets organization much longer. Think he's dealt in the summer. 2 many guys have passed him on the depth chart. 

Personally think Appleton would get called up b4 Nic.

Our LHD is pretty thin but man u take Suter away from the Wild and UGLY. Jets should dominate.

Just looked it up.... Soucy (3) and Seeler (22) have a whopping 25 games of NHL experience.  

 

Fun fact: this is the first playoff series in NHL history between a Winnipeg team and Minnesota team.

and the next series will be the first series in history between a Winnipeg team and Tennessee team.  And the one after that...oh wait we've got California off our list....

There's a weekly hockey radio show kfan minneapolis, listened a little the other day.... they seemed concerned that the Jets are too big, tough for the Wild. Pat Micheleti Brenden Mileski, good show.

Surprised me that that seemed to be their top concern, but I missed a lot of the program.

So who is the Wild going to pick to try to get under the skin of Laine?

I pick Tanev and Buff as our agitators. 

That LHD worries me. But chiarot and Morrow have been giving it everything they have.

Charlie Coyle would be the guy I'd be watching my back for. 

Maybe Foligno or Winnik... but I can't see them keeping up with Thorburn, let alone our current FW group.

Chiarot I guarantee will not have a lot of friends on the Wild by the end of the series. He plays that physical game that built for the playoffs.

I think Toby will be back for game 2 or 3 so yeah... Our depth is pretty solid and Morrow and Chiarot have played well.

I'm ok with him going in during game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals and we're up 3-0 in the series and up 8-0 with five minutes left in the third.

Right. I understand you dont like him cuz hes small... But hes a damn good d man who is still better than Morrow and Chiarot. 

Cullen is 41 and Koivu is 35...  they're going to have a hard time keeping up down the middle 

Their playoff D makes ours look 'old'... which is not really what you want

Should be an easy first round for both Jets and unfortunately Nashville...
