Game story so far

 -Tuesday every team the Jets don't want to win won including the Leafs

 -Sens lost to Minn so this is their 2nd game in as many days

 -Hutch to start(well we hope)

 -Stempniak to play on 3rd line with Lowry & Wheels

 -Jets looking to close out this 4 game homestand with 7/8pts

 

In other news...

 -Hockey News has us winning the cup in 2019

 -Sports betting site Bodog has us at 33:1 to win the cup, Hutch 19-2 to win the Calder and no mention of Buff

 

Note: Game time is 6:30 but due to Canadian Forces Appreciation ceremonies start could be closer to 6:45

 

See you in the Chat room. Yeah up there...click it...we don't bite!

I like this set up (Ottawa back to back nights) but in the past this has been a perfect trap game for the Jets. No longer, this team is much better than any team we saw in the past three seasons. We win this and go to 78 points!

I've seen speculation that Pavs would start which would surprise me

God, I hope this isn't the case.  Talk about a momentum killer.  Pavs is 5-9 in his career vs. Ottawa, with a 3.27 GAA and a .905 SV%.

 

Don't fix what isn't broken.  Start Hutch and continue to ride him like Minnesota's been doing with Dubnyk.

Early #NHLJets rushes: Ladd-Little-Frolik, Tlusty-Scheifele-Stafford, Stempniak-Lowry-Wheeler, Thorburn-Slater-Peluso

#NHLJets D pairs: Harrison-Byfuglien, Enstrom-Myers, Stuart-Trouba and Pardy-Postma looks like the extra pair of D, Galiardi the extra F

To be fair, he has numbers like that against most of the other teams too...

I miss Beyak. Randorf makes the game seem boring as hell.

Sportsnet west became sportsnet Ottawa now. OTTAWA this that etc. Such crap announcing

Really not a fan of games on Sportsnet. Buff done now too. Looked like a shoulder

Frolik, Myers best of a bad lot. Stempy not too bad. Whither Tlusty.

Bad lot? Don't think they played badly, outside of a few minutes in the 2nd.

Out hit them, out shot them by a large margin and won the face off battle. Bad result, obviously, but not really a bad game... Just couldn't finish on their opportunities.

Not good.

Not bad tho. Jets Dominated. Ran in to a hot goalie

What happened to buff

What happened to buff

He went into a corner with some guy, nothing that said OOOOH and next think u know his right arm is hanging.

Separated shoulder maybe

Jets owned the sens tho. Props to Hammond. He stood on his head

How last night went down is punishment for trading Klingberg

Even from the start of the game last night, Jets didn't come out with much energy (certainly didn't play with the same intensity as they did their previous game).   The intensity and desperation just weren't there (if that makes sense) .. and once they got down, Ottawa did one helluva job taking away space around the front of their net .. they played a great game.

Ottawa stole this plain and simple, with a hot goalie and hanging on (kinda like the Dallas game with Pavelec a few months back). The Sens had 3 shots in the 3rd period ...

Didn't the sens have something like 4 shots on Pavelec all game long, well, since he came in the net half way through the second? Jets dominated. Not gonna jump off bridges or worry about anything, keep playing that way and the Jets will win and win more than they lose. 

Gotta keep perspective as a fan, I'd be quite satisfied if the Jets dominated the rest of the games like that. The breaks will come and they'll pop some of those chances. Last night they faced a guy who, while playing well in Goal, also had a horseshoe up his butt and doesn't know the difference between Alfred E. Newman and the Hamburglar.

They also shot the puck directly at it most times, he maybe made 3 or 4 really good saves, the rest were easy ones. 

There seems to be real parity in the NHL.

 

There are no easy wins, for any team. Not even the top teams

 

This makes every game more interesting.

Jets got beat by a crazy hot goalie and a lot of iron.. They beat them in pretty much every aspect and took it to them hard in 1st and 3rd... Just not the jets night..
