I guess choosing Toninato over Harkins paid off. Fire PoMo!

I can't believe we are winning against Edmonton, I expected the worst from this

Mine Smith with a poor decision to head off and we have our first shot since the Toninato goal. 

And another one past the invisible goalie!

******* eh!!!!! 4-1 Jets and Game 1 in the books!!!!

'Above average goaltending'

Can I get a twice baked potato to go along with the crow I'm about to eat?

Well, for one game at least a one-man team does not mean more than 4 line depth.  
 

And although I would not recommend 9 minutes of zero shots and dump outs after taking the lead, I will take the result. And just a casual observance, but the Jets showed some determination tonight, no? 😉

68 hits, 19 blocks, 60% FO.... keep that s**t up

They let me down with only 4 goals. But, a win is a win. 

Did not expect that.  Gritty win, to say the least.  Helle was very solid.

Just the kind of game PLD would have been in beast mode for

 

 

Got to say I am enjoying the shock on the faces of the taking heads at Sportsnet (mainly the Sports Central desk) who can’t believe that the Jets were even competitive, much less won and shut down McDavid and Draiseitl. 

These sports netwok has a bias for Matthews vs McDavid for the next round because they think it will garner more viewership.

I hope the Jets will crush their dreams.

Ridiculous defensive play on the empty netter by Wheeler. He would have probably scored with the goalie in there. 

A road win is great but seems less significant this year knowing we don’t have the whiteout at home waiting to carry the Jets and suck the life out of the Oilers.

I think they covered the seats in white?

 

Helle stole one.... Team played generally well defensively. At some point McJesus is gonna take over and this is gonna be a long series, but Goddamit this was fun to watch. I'd hoped for OT... 7 games of multiple OTs is what these two great teams deserve.... But it was a fun game. Refs kept the whistles tucked... Just how I like it. Playoff hockey... Great goaltending on both sides. Bounces went Jets way tonight. 

When the Jets scored the go-ahead goal with about 11 minutes to go, I fully expected McDavid to be on the ice for about 9 of those minutes. Don't think I was too far off.

the short answer is you can't......you just have to try and limit him as much as possible. And be disciplined...don't give him any extra chances.

Ahhh we just did. (Fingers crossed no jinx.) 🙂

Cherry on the top would be the Habs taking the Leafs. 🙂

Wondering what tone the Refs will set? Will they let them play or will they call 2 minutes for looking at McDavid inappropriately? 

One of the best reffed games I've seen for a while. They let them play. I hope this continues.

damn you Josh Archibald

As much as I hate the Oilers, that was a solid clean hit. Textbook. As Howie Meeker would say, now that's hockey.

Oiler with puck. Oiler in front of Helle alone

Love it when the Jets shut up the naysayers. Solid performance last night and a big statement win, IMO.

First one to four wins. Hopefully we get there first.
