How bout a blow out win tonight to infuse some confidence back into this team?

If we get taken to the woodshed again or even just lose a tight one to this team player only meetings might not be what we need.

Well we draw first blood... But man Jets look like they are in quicksand against Buffalo.  Badly outshot and now going on the penalty kill for a second time.

Outshot 14-6 and Buffalo scores on the pp.

[captaincanuck12]

Pearson scores on a breakaway.

Lowry stopped on a penalty shot.

Shots are more even this period. But Buffalo still dictating a lot of play.

Of note the second period... This was the first time in a while that the Jets actually won the middle frame. Two goals. Even shots.  Perhaps a tide is turning?

The fourth line led the charge last night.   Now we just need that second line going

The 4th line is the 2nd line now

Going to need to take Namestnikov and Toews off there to make that happen.
