Posted March 24, 201510 yr comment_112881 Game story so far... Jets 2nd game in as many days Looking for 6th straight win and It's a must win T-9 Retract orbiter access arm
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112884 Yeah they have given themselves a bit of breathing room but not much. If they need ten points to secure a spot that's 5 wins in 9 games. Can they go 5-4?
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112889 I saw an interesting stat last night - if the Jets need 11 points in 10 games (before last night) then if you do 10 game splits all year, there's only been one time (the initial 10 games of the year) they didn't meet that requirement.

That is an interesting stat. Our remaining games are pretty brutal. Five wins doesn't seem like a gimme.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112892 5-4 is entirely doable with the way they're playing. I'm more concerned with the lack of L's by the other teams in the race. Minny seems to have a spot on lockdown, though that changes if we beat them. Tonight is huge if we can get 2 pts. My gut says Maurice goes with Pavs, and who am I to judge. I'd start Hutch if it were me.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112898 As far as tonight's goalie, damned if you do, damned if you dont. if Pavs starts and sucks, people say come on we knew that would happen. If Hutch starts and sucks, people say why didnt you ride the hot hand? Ill trust the coach who's in the room and knows his goalies. I'd go with Hutch for two reasons. 1) History 2) the Jets plays sloppy in Edmonton and have given up a lot of shots the last couple of games. Going with Hutch *should* shake up the team a bit and have them locking things down a bit more.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112936 Has Pavs ever won back to back games? Keep the momentum going as long as you can. Start Pavelec.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112950 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming The hot hand will take a break with five-straight wins, and Michael Hutchinson will get the start in goal for the #NHLJets tonight.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112951 Sounds like Wheeler's going full face shield tonight... What an animal. Returns last night without the shield and played hard in the third. He's all balls. Captain Wheeler.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112967 Best case scenario here is Hutch stands on his head and steals a game. If both 'tenders appear to be in the zone for heaters, it's win win for the club.
March 24, 201510 yr comment_112971 It's weird, for the first time since the start of the season (remember the 1 - 0 shutout of the Rangers by Pav?) I feel confident that both goalies give us an excellent chance to win. That's a pretty sweet place to be. If the Hamburglar or the tall monster in Minnie get hurt those teams are hooped. The fact we have won 5 straight (4 against some of the best the league has to offer) without Buff and Little and Perreault etc. is also a plus. The bad mojo of about a month ago has turned for this team and they deserve it ...
March 25, 201510 yr Author comment_113023 I have a theory regarding Hutchs play lately....it's the skunk stripe on his helmet. Vancouver is Lack'ing in goal tonight. Moose goalie...how can you lose?
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113026 Hutch is not making his coach look like a smart guy... I know the goals weren't bad on him but still 3 in a row is not good at all. O'Dell and Trouba are struggling mightily tonight. Hop they can change it around in the 3rd since they were dominating for the most part..
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113027 Let off in the second and let Van back into the game. Gotta get at least one point tonight...
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113030 Do you want to know what's really affecting the Jets tonight? Radim Vrbata.
March 25, 201510 yr Author comment_113031 I was really worried when Tlusty scored. Paging Andy Ladd! Pulling the goalie twice...stupid!
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113032 Who cares if you pull the goalie twice... we were done. Jets were totally out of gas in the third.
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113033 Of all the teams the Jets lose to it had to be the ****-bag Canucks. Sigh...
March 25, 201510 yr comment_113035 Tired. Sloppy. We will see if it was just the back to back on the road or if the injuries are catching up to them. They are still on the bubble and can't lose games they should win
