Status report
The Blues had a full practice Saturday and an optional Sunday. Kyrou and Snuggerud swapped spots on the first and second lines Saturday; Montgomery said it was “just getting a different look.” … Scheifele, a center, skated on his own Saturday and will be a game-time decision. He missed a 5-2 loss in Game 6 on Friday.

If the Jet players can't be motivated by this by putting everything on the line taking it to the Blues for the majority of 60 minutes to let MS know they got this then nothing will.

This one especially important game for Chevy in terms of putting a contender together.

They way Morgan Barron has been playing, surprised a bit he hasn't been elevated to top line, especially with how physical the Blues have been playing our first line.

Its stupid decisions like that ,is why were in this mess. Barron should be 1st line center.

There's a better chance of Appleton being sent to the 4th line and we all know that's not happening.

I think it's going to be a super tight game and the jets lose... Maybe in OT.

I’ve never liked you.

Maybe we finally rattle Binnington and we score 4 in 5 minutes.

 

No Scheifele really hurts. Just historically they can’t win in the playoffs without him. Doesn’t mean they won’t just means odds likely not on their side. Dude misses 2 games cuz of a hit and no suspension just says it all meanwhile Schenn scores goal 3 last game. Just really not good.

BS has left his feet at least twice this series to hit one of our guys but nothing to see here.

If I’m a betting man I’m putting my money on the blues. Without Scheifele, I just don’t think they can win. I’m not sure they can get 20 shots. Helle needs to let in 1 or less. Impossible situation for Helle tonight. Need some goal scoring. Need Kyle Connor to step up without 55. Never mind Helle, need KC gabe Ehlers to seriously step up.

And I think the only way this happens is if the jets allow like 15 shots. If the blues are able to get like 30+ shots, I feel like Helle is giving up at least 3 or 4.

It’s the quality of shots they giving up. Top 5 in high danger chances given up this playoffs. Meaning they giving up tons of quality chances they weren’t giving up in the regular season.  

Win or lose. It’s a beautiful spring day. Plus 28 degrees. Downtown gonna be packed with people. Gotta enjoy the moments. After all they are grown men playing a kids game. Not meant to be so serious is it. With that said, you gotta believe. Go Jets Go. 

Dallas did it without Robertson and Heiskanen. We can do this without Scheifele. I just dislike the line combos. 

Have a feeling Ehlers and Vilardi will cash in. Positive vibes 🙂 

Large part of me hopes the Jets are working the Blues and 55 will play last minute.

I wish I still had all the prescription bags I got last year

Just put Barron line 1 and put the other lines back together. Why is a dude who played most the season in the A play over Gus. Crazy. 

Jets behind the game already with Stacey singing.

Jets are already scared.  St. Louis, just playing keep away

Man are the Blues a big physical team.

Omfg

Hellesuck 

Well it's possible to lose a game 7 in the first 8 minutes of the game.  One f****** shot on that for us.  Morrissey is now hurt.  Hella suck is in fine form.  U******** believable.

When do we see Comrie-? OMFG

Choker Hellebuyck

Another goal by Blue might end the night for him.

Well, another early exit in the playoffs after a fantastic season.  Means Jack s***.  

Hey we got two more wins this year than we are used to getting. Small things.
