Yup it's just fascinating to learn after the fact what some of these guys were dealing with and what the priority was , i.e., win versus health.

Nope, apparently they're safe say reports.

Or those Harmonica players who played the American National Anthem at the LA King Playoffs games said no one ever with good hearing. Ooops sorry wrong thread. I'll head back to the Hockey discussions.

As is every year, it's going to be fascinating to hear what injuries certain players were playing thru in the playoffs. For example, once the Jets aren't playing anymore, you'll hear Josh Morrisey let us know he was playing with four broken ribs, a stiff shoulder and a lacerated kidney, Mark Sheifele will tell us he was playing with a severely bruised sternum and couldn't remember his name every morning while Nic Ehlers will moan about his pinky toe and what a warrior he was in playing thru that pain (you're welcome @SpeedFlex27). Seriously though, health #1 and everything else #2.

That would suggest the head coach (some/all coaching staff) may be next.

Hmmm I thought he said, that's Doctor Monty to you. :-)

Never in doubt said no Jet fan ever. Cole Perfetti coming Dallas’s way. Medical magic for 55 and 44 please and thank you.

Helle showing a definite pattern no matter what the apologists say.

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

I’ve never liked you.

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.

And all it took for the Blues to take out one of our top offensive players was an illegal dirty hit that cost them a 2 minute interference penalty.

What a great last 10 minutes of the Stars Avs 7th game. Go Jets Go. I like your confidence dear sir.

A small win it was our best 10 minute start to the game of the series thus far. We dictated the game. Just have to keep it up for another 50 minutes. Another reminder the playoffs is a completely different breed, just have to make sure you make it, doesn’t matter by how much.

St. Louis has been very successful in creating havoc by getting bodies, pucks, sticks to the net which is a perfect formula against Helle. Take his sight lines away. Pretty simple yet effective hockey strategy. It’s also helps been given lots of latitude in how they get at our top players along with an odd soft puck luck goal allowed. I’m hoping it’s our turn game seven to score 3 or 4 in a fairly short period of time to put the game away. A nice lop sided score for the first time in this series for us to end it. Why not us?

Believe in my guys who got us here, our best players, goalie, grinders against their best in game 7 versus you ain’t producing at the level we pay you, you ain’t playing. The tough gig as a professional head coach. Just for funsies, what if we had started Comrie in St. Louis and Helle at home, still tied 3-3? Again just for funsies knowing it’s not reality.

Not all but some for sure.

The whistle blew and the players didn’t hear it and continued playing.

Soft goal by Helle and absolutely no box out of Blue players in front of Helle. They’re having their way yet again.

Didn’t see it hit Perfetti but just very frustrating goals against to watch. Puck luck coming our way hopefully.

Out of all the games thus far, best start by far by the Jets. But first shot by the Blues goes in. Helle has a hard time tracking down soft fluttering shots. He was screened somewhat on this one but still frustrating.

And severe head injuries don't just happen because of targeted head shots, they can happen when one targets other parts of the body, e.g., Brady Schenn's violent dirty hit on #55. This is the downside of playing contact sports and the impact it has now on the body and later in years. Violence sells. Who wants to play pickle ball?

Probably right but ironically would prove the original offense was much more violent and illegal than interference. Not wise though to risk a suspension to prove a point especially if we can make it to the second round.

Good to see Ehlers back if indeed he is ready to go and can be effective based on his current health status. JOMO lets go. It just angers me to see #55 missing and makes me think of not good thoughts when it comes to Blue Players. With no disrespect to Names, such a drop off in what we need on our first line. Hope they can rise to the challenge tonight, win by committee, Helle shows his Vezina self. Gonna be interesting to see how the Jets respond tonight, missing one of their leaders, no last change, hostile environment, no consistency in what's being called, five games it has been shown lots of latitude given in how top players are treated, not sure how much grief we've given Kyrou, Thomas to challenge this apparent inconsistency etc. Knowing it won't happen, but it would be real interesting if Lowry took out Kyrou exactly the way Schenn took out Scheif and what the Refs would call, 2 minutes interference right? Go Jets Go.

Just a hunch but I’m thinking we might be saying good bye to their coach as well even after the strong season they had.
