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. 

Jets projected lineup

Kyle Connor -- Mark Scheifele -- Gabriel Vilardi

Nikolaj Ehlers -- Sean Monahan -- Alex Iafallo

Nino Niederreiter -- Adam Lowry -- Mason Appleton

Morgan Barron -- Vladislav Namestnikov -- Cole Perfetti

Josh Morrissey -- Dylan DeMelo

Brenden Dillon -- Neal Pionk

Dylan Samberg -- Nate Schmidt

Connor Hellebuyck

Laurent Brossoit

Scratched: Rasmus Kupari, Logan Stanley, David Gustafsson

Stars projected lineup

Jason Robertson -- Roope Hintz -- Joe Pavelski

Mason Marchment -- Matt Duchene -- Sam Steel

Jamie Benn -- Wyatt Johnston -- Logan Stankoven

Ty Dellandrea -- Radek Faksa -- Craig Smith

Thomas Harley -- Miro Heiskanen

Wonder if Rutger signs and Perfetti is replaced with Iafallo and you get Rutger Monahan Ehlers.  
 

that would be sick. 

Chris Tanev sorting out immigration issues so not available tonight.

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. 

Dallas and Philadelphia have been the two clubs that have beaten the Jets at their own game this year with aggressive forecheck, low danger chance defence, great goaltending, and just enough opportunistic offence. Those teams are the ones I’d want to avoid in the playoffs. Curious to see tonight how each team’s game has evolved since their last meeting in November

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.

I'd have gone in this direction...

That’s amateur send to ahl **** by Perfetti on that goal.

Yeah, let's make fun of JFK getting the back of his head blown off with his brain matter & shattered skull covering his horrified wife. Well done....

Yikes.Kyle Connor just not giving a **** about D play at all. 2 0 Dallas. Should be more. Jets getting owned. 

If Jets need to beat Dallas in the playoffs it ain’t happening. 3 0. 
 

Helle getting zero help. Jets looking like huge pretenders 

every Dallas shot is from 10 feet away or some deflection 

Jets just getting owned  

Dallas is our Daddy

Looks like I'll be seeing the bottom of the rye bottle a bit earlier this game than usual....sigh...

Refs letting everything go. 
 

You know they gonna call the jets on a chincy one

Yup.  Samberg elbowed in the face and gets called for holding.  Pathetic.

Jets have been better since they scored. Refs are interesting to say the least 

Why can't we beat Dallas?

I wonder if Perfetti got credited with an assist on Dallas' first goal since they scored three seconds after he handed them the puck.

I suppose the silver lining to the loss is the fact that we still have four games in hand on Dallas, but it would've been far better to be two point up on them instead of two points behind.

They match up well against our style, and we have never beaten Jake Oettinger in regulation. Funny thing is Dallas can’t beat Colorado, who we have not lost to yet. Whoever gets first place in the division has a big advantage not having to play the other two in the first round (unless of course Edmonton slips back to the wildcard spot and becomes a super dangerous 7 seed). Best case scenario is Jets win the division and face Nashville or even better St. Louis, next best is face LA, third best is finish second in the Central but draw Colorado in Round 1 and hope Dallas gets upset by the wild card team.  

1130am tomorrow. That’s an interesting start time.

Who knows but here’s a Quick Look at our history with them.

If we meet them in the playoffs lets hope we mimic the 2017/2018 season.
