Interesting to note that they are showing every game in condensed form on 202 before the game starts. Game 1 on currently.

[White Out]

really hard to believe this team can get past Helley to a game 6.

[Goalie]

They could win tonight but I think it’s unlikely they win in Dallas. Haven’t won away from whiteout since 2023 apparently

[Goalie]

Hopefully we get a lead and score like I dunno. 3 goals. 
 

it’s crazy cuz they could win big or implode like previous jets playoff teams.

Score early.  Score often.  Dictate the pace.  No more slow.starts. do or die boys.

[BomberBall.]

An interference call on the Jets is rich.  Dallas has been setting picks constantly.  Especially Benn.  Not as bad as the Blues, but it’s a lot.

All 3 calls in the game have been soft as hell.  But of course Dallas has the advantage.

[iHeart]

No score after 1

[AB BomberFan]

Would be nice if we had some shooting accuracy. Need to bury one, seem to always just miss the net.

[iHeart]

Scheif puts us on the board

[BomberBall.]

Okay, we got a greasy one…. Now let’s put another one on top of it and start rolling.

[captaincanuck12]

Got one.  Need another.  Keep pressing.  

[BomberBall.]

Perfetti gets dumped in front of their net, but of course that’s not a penalty. 

[Piggy 1]

Jets being seriously out coached. WTF is Barron not on second line?

[iHeart]

no change in the scoring but at least we're still leading

[BomberBall.]

Why no review on the puck off of Scheifele’s wrist??  I don’t think it was a goal, but it absolutely should’ve been looked at.

[iHeart]

 

[Goalie]

There’s 3 

[iHeart]

oh look another FIGHT!!!!

How they got the PP I'll never understand

Jets kinda dummying Dallas tonight. So you’re saying there’s a chance. 

Why not a road win in Dallas. 

[BomberBall.]

Benn is such a dirty POS.  And they get a PP.  how on earth can you justify that?

[Goalie]

Stars kinda soft and don’t like getting owned. Jets have owned them twice now. They a bit salty. Poor losers. After 3 0 I’m keeping 55 on the bench tho. Just saying. Can’t get hurt in meaningless garbage time.

[iHeart]

4-0 that should do it

[Goalie]

There’s 4. 
 

this game feels eerily similar to game 2. Another “must win” for the Jets. 

Jets show heart and dominate Dallas and win 4 0. These guys have grown. I’m not sure they win this game 5 years ago. Adversity is a theme this season.
