Time : Saturday 930, CBC

Stats : 37-28-6 @ 36-27-7

 

fLames are terrible. Jets in 3. People worried about Tkachuk....don't. Just ignore him and he goes away. Their goaltending is also highly suspect. Jets SHOULDN'T have any trouble with these guys. I'm still calling Jets/Oilers WCF, but we'll see what happens starting Saturday, I suppose...

I feel like such a fanatic. Part of me thinks the D is too small/weak and we will score the #1 draft pick. The other part thinks the same as Noeller.

too many people think it's still the 1970s.... size is important but speed and puck movement trumps size every time... I'd take a small, good skating puck mover over a big bruiser any day... although, I'd rather have a guy that's both (Byfuglien 😥)

Even to have a guy like Chiarot on the back end would be nice. That physical presence is nice to have in situations where the netfront needs to be cleared to prevent a goal like the one Roussel scored the other night.

One for one sure, but it's nice to have a mix of both in the group.

Winnipeg has a hybrid team. There's some size, but there's also speed. They're not the team from a couple years ago that was massive and would check teams into submission, but they still have some size for sure. A lot of the talking heads are putting too much stock into the fact that Pionk had a rough outing vs Van. He was a really really nice addition for the team this year, and once they shake off the rust, he's going to be just fine.

STL averaged 6'4" winning their cup. Not many Jets D can push a guy away from Helle.

I'm pumped for hockey to return.  Jets should take this series.  Hopefully the rust wears off quicker than Calgary.  And let's hope we get Cuthbert calling the games.  Bombers won the Grey Cup with him calling the game...perhaps the Jets get that same magic

Scheif is down!

WHEELS IS MAD

Copp opens the scoring for the jets

Edited August 2, 20205 yr by iHeart

Ffs.  Schiefele going down is just brutal.  Calgary got some life after that PP.  Hopefully the boys regroup.  

$%^! Have to pay $15 for SportsNet.

Pretty good 1st period. Mostly Jets.

Man Tkachuk's skate hit Scheif's achillies maybe.

 

Edited August 2, 20205 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

Wow. Calgary stepping up the pressure.  Jets look slow.  Outshot 20-11

and there goes our lead

 

COME ON GUYS THIS IS A BEST OF 3 SERIES

It's a best of 5.  Scheifs injury has deflated this entire team.  Pp anemic and they look lost.

I meant to say that, 

Ugh.  Ffs.   We have no push. This game is pretty much over.

Great. Back to being frustrated.

Flames 3-1 Jets after 2

Whose the #1 draft pick again?
