Is JT second line material or is that wishful thinking? I guess we will find out tonight.

I’m not sure we find out tonight. It’s not like 1 game gonna say much. I’d honestly give JT 20 games before I start looking at things maybe even more. He’s gonna need time. Tonight I’ll be checking out Nyquist koepke and Pearson.

and Chicken scores the first of the season for the jets....I'm hungry

I am having PTSD from the playoffs watching this game right now.  Probably shouldn't have re-watched all the Dallas-Winnipeg playoff games I still have on my PVR the past few days...

Refs are pathetic.

ref u suck

Game 1 ,and already the officiating is determining the Jets season .LMAO....

Think this is a bad combination of the Jets aren't as good as they have been, and Dallas is a very good team this year. That was tough to watch but hopefully gets better as the Jets get healthier...

Jets D is a mess. Pionk fleury and Schenn and Stanley were just a mess. Didn’t mind JT, he looked good. But still a 1 line team. 

and chicken gets the first hat trick of the season

1 line team. There’s potential there I think but need samberg back. Perfetti also. I might be shopping for a LHD tho who can play with pionk then drop to 3rd pairing. Cuz fleury and Stanley ain’t it.

Attendance 15,225

🥇 81 🥈 Rant 🥉 Robertson

Lot of hate for Stanley/Shenn but +/- was 0. Now Fleury/Pionk...

Plus minus just means ppl were changing. Like you watch them play and they are slow and make stupid plays. Plus minus is irrelevant in this, honestly how it works is let’s say CSV on ice, V goes to change and the other team scores the moment V changes and Nino lets say gets on the ice, well Nino gets the minus eventho he literally just stepped on the ice.
