predictions anyone?

do we know who Edmonton is starting in net? I thought I read Koskinen is getting the start...in which case, this should be a close game and maybe even a Jets win. I'll say 4-3 Jets if Koskinen is in....... 3-1 Oilers if Mike Smith is in. 

I say Jets come out fast. bombard Edmonton goal. and finally get a bit of puck luck.

 

not sure they can stop mcdavid draisitle

jets win 3 to 2

Hard to predict a vastly different result, given how they’ve played lately.... Starting the exact same lineup.  What’s the definition of insanity?

Coming to this site and expecting something other than doom and gloom?

Koskinen starts for Oilers... Jets have a chance tonight for sure. That guy is awful.

Ha, good one.  I’m actually a fairly positive person in real life.  I just don’t have a great feeling about the way this team looks.

I hope the Jets prove me wrong and find a gear we haven’t seen in quite a while.

Disappointment?

Let’s hope not.

The kind of luck you get during a losing streak. Stastny goes 5 hole through Koskinen and hits the heel of his skate and stays out. 2 on 1 with a stick on the ice messing up the lane, and Morrissey misses an open net and then has his stick explode leading to a 2 on 1 the other way.

Wheels finds the back of the net

Then finds the box with a really, really dumb penalty.  He gave us some much needed momentum and then took it away.

it feels like at this rate they'll just put the Jets in the box for sneezing

Brutal officiating.

well for now we are not worse off as monday

kyle conner has disappeared.

Has our offence completely dried up?   Can we score more than 1 goal please?

111 games is too damn long a scoring drought for DeMelo

I wish McDavid would get as Tired as the Jets are right now

finally we got a PP

This team needs to pull their heads out of their asses and figure out how to score again

What we learned tonight...a lineup based on names picked out of hat randomly almost won us the game.

hopefully they are not so desperate that they put Comrie in net

So how do the Jets play the Oilers and win? Aside from Monday’s debacle where they got desperate and made stupid plays that all ended up in the net after they went down 2, every game has been close (within 1 goal going into the 3rd period in every case), yet the Oilers seem to find a way to finish in every game lately. The Jets played a patient simple game yesterday with short shifts. They neutralized McDavid mostly yet he still got 3 points (2 power play assists and an empty net assist). Stastny missed 2 goal mouth chances, and they did not generate much else. Edmonton showed they can play patient as well and they took advantage on the power play. Our only 2 wins were run and gun games but I would not suggest that this is the way to win against them. So what is the magic solution?
