Game 1: Jets @ Oilers

Season opener against the Stanley Cup Runner Ups

Not really much else to say, other than the Jets better be ready.  This will be a next to impossible game to win.  Edmonton's home opener, McDavid and Draisaitl have a bad taste in their mouth from last season.

Arneil's first game as official HC.

Hockey is back!

Last 3 seasons we won the first game against the Oilers so why not make it 4 in a row.

I know its not how you start but how you finish but securing a Jet W tonight would be a nice Thursday morning present for me to share blissfully with my Oiler fan colleagues here in Edmonton. 🙂

I'm going out on a limb here...win tonight, top of division at Xmas, then darkness, trade Nik at deadline, make playoffs, win 1st game, lose next 4.

Motivational speaker you are not dear sir.

I think you need 10-15 games before you can make an assessment of how the team will fare overall.   We pretty much have the same lineup as last year.  The one issue I have is not retaining Monahan.   We don't have a clear cut 2C.  I'll reserve judgement on Perfetti.

Why? Namestnikov is 2 C. He started out there last year also. Monahan didn’t arrive until 2 weeks or so b4 the trade deadline.

Nope, if they lose tonight, season over, blow it up as I will have to feel the pain of gross Oiler fans tomorrow morning mapping out their Stanley Cup Parade route I'm sure. 🙂

I like Namestnikov, but I don’t see him as a 2C.

I’ll agree with this. Could have went 3 scoring lines this year but jets gonna jets. 

man since the playoffs went so long I am still used to the playoff game speed.  These guys all look like they are standing still in comparison to the tempo of the playoffs.  At this speed the Jets have a chance to have a good year, it's when things get 2x faster that they always seem totally bewildered.

Captain Lowry opens the scoring for the Jets

Lowry makes it 1 0. 

Nino just misses an empty net moments later. 

55 just took a 2 minute shift. Yeesh dude. 

Apples. 2 0 

Apples makes it 2-0

and the Jets go BANG BANG!!

3rd line has shown up. Scheifele has but nobody else in the top 6 have yet. Scheifele solid defensively. KC coasting.  Vilardi non existent   
2nd line is a no show Also  KC 55 gabe get caved defensively tho

No respect for Winnipeg among these broadcasters. They should show this intermission broadcast prior to every game this year in the dressing room.

I drafted the entire top line last night in my pool (against my better judgement) so the lack of scoring is my fault....

Hopefully this improves as the season goes on.

Kupari makes it 3-0

Bang frickin bang 4-0 Samberg

KConn makes it 5-0 guess who's ready to come out and play

 

KC sets a record scoring in 7 straight season openers. He’s number 1. 

sigh Fleury took a puck to the face
