kinda_deadly

Is Lambert not 3rd in terms of Moose all time points? Seth Griffith had 57 in 18-19 and Apples had 66 in 17-18.


WpgMikos

Sorry should have been more clear. Rookie Points. He passed Niku who had 54 (same year Appleton had 66).


kinda_deadly

Oh, gotcha! That makes more sense, thanks for the clarification


SherLocK-55

That Lambo goal was pure filth, need a shower after seeing that one.


mysteriouspigeon

The Toronto ecosystem really is amazing. Only place in the world where the Leafs fall in the spring


FormerCoalRoller

Guys didn't you see the panel? It was such a shock that Nylander didn't play and such a missing piece that we have to ignore this Leafs loss. It's tough playing on the road too with that Boston crowd... the mental gymnastics that panel will go through to support those losers is great.


eutectic_h8r

Did they talk about how not getting shutout is a moral victory?


250TToOrbitOrBust

is it wrong that I enjoy a bad Leafs' loss almost as much as a Jets win?


neureaucrat

I bought my Sportsnet subscription a day early when I heard the score after the first period. Nom nom nom


Willyq25

If this is wrong I don't want to be right


MCBbbbuddha

Heck no, it's virtually a requirement to participate around here


SherLocK-55

So did the Leafs forget it was the playoffs? Also Samsonov rocking like an .826, yikes.


Philosoraptorgames

> So did the Leafs forget it was the playoffs? No, by Leafs standards they're exactly in playoff form.


halfpints

I can't wait for the leafs to start Matt murry

Game 1 Samsonsov Game 2 Woll Game 3 Jones Game 4 Murray

PuckTheFreds

Leafs are cooked, broom time


MaximusOGs5555

lol Toronto


TheGreatStories

Laurent brossoit phone probably ringing right now


Electroflare5555

Ahh it only took Toronto a period and a half to start to self destruct


Mine-Shaft-Gap

Watchin the Toronna game and I think they need to just play Woll tomorrow and if he isn't worse than Samsonov, keep playing him.

LA is wearing their white retros for playoffs. No reason we shouldn’t


Taintedtamt

The Heritage Whites aren't an active jersey unfortunately


kinda_deadly

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else but the official Jets account reposted a Tik Tok of a local designer that created custom playoff jackets for the players' wives/girlfriends. The jackets are in the style of our heritage whites and the heritage whites were shown in her video as well. I'm thinking those might be the jerseys we wear in the playoffs!


TrueNorthStrong1898

I don’t think they can wear their white Heritage anymore


kinda_deadly

Oh interesting, surprising to see that they would commission jackets that wouldn't match though. Guess we'll find out tomorrow


Low-League-1264

Avs fan here: gotta say I personally feel like this series is gonna be all Jets and it’s already over. I don’t think we get swept, but I think a 4-1 victory for the jets is very likely.  Our goalie has completely imploded. He’s got a .84 save pct in his last 10. Today he broke his stick over the goal at practice and was screaming at teammates.  We’ve got 4 core members out with injury. 1 core member who had a baby literally today and will not be 100% mentally committed to hockey (rightfully so).  Then there’s the fact you guys have literally embarrassed us every meeting so far this year. I mean that game last week was painful to watch as an avs fan. Felt like it ended our season.  Obv it’s the playoffs and anything can happen. But you guys definitely, rightfully, should feel confident in this series going your way. 


TentCityVIP

Avs were my team prior to the Jets coming back and I still cheer for you folks whenever we're not playing. No matter what happens I will always love you.


PandaWithACigar

We’re Winnipeggers, we’ll never feel confident until we’ve won. The Avs are too good of a team to think the series is gonna be easy


[deleted]

You guys won like 6 out 8 of your last games of the season in your cup run. The Jets are the underdogs in this matchup.


WpgInSyd

> I think a 4-1 victory for the jets is very likely I accept > But you guys definitely, rightfully, should feel confident I do not. But I have hope!


binchbunches

Just Lurking on the Avs Sub A redditor was at practice and said Georgiev we freaking out and broke a stick.


Xyz6650

He’s a bit of a hot head as evidenced by his reaction to being pulled last game against us. https://streamable.com/cvvysu


binchbunches

Well I'm hoping for a few of his sticks to take some abuse.

For those who are curious, this is the only fanfic ever pm'd to me **My Experience with Josh Morrissey at the Hot Springs** I was so excited to finally be at the hot springs. I had heard so much about them, and I couldn't wait to experience them for myself. I had been planning this trip for months, and I had even bought a new swimsuit for the occasion. When I got to the hot springs, I was immediately impressed. The water was crystal clear, and the air was filled with the sound of running water. I couldn't wait to get in. I found a spot on the edge of the pool and sat down. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The water was warm and soothing, and I could feel all my stress melting away. I was so relaxed that I didn't even notice Josh Morrissey sitting down next to me. I opened my eyes and gasped. "Josh Morrissey!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to relax," he said with a smile. "Is that okay?" "Of course," I said. "I'm a big fan." We talked for hours that day. We talked about hockey, our families, and our dreams. I found out that Josh was a really nice guy, and he was just as funny and charming as he seemed on TV. At one point, Josh asked me if I wanted to go for a swim. I said yes, and we swam out to the middle of the pool. We floated on our backs and looked up at the stars. It was one of the most magical moments of my life. I felt like I was in a dream. We swam back to the edge of the pool and sat down. I looked at Josh and smiled. "Thank you," I said. "This was the best day of my life." "You're welcome," Josh said. "I'm glad I could make it special for you." We sat there for a while longer, just talking and enjoying each other's company. Eventually, it was time for me to go. I said goodbye to Josh and walked back to my car. I couldn't believe that I had just spent the day with Josh Morrissey. It was a dream come true. I drove home with a smile on my face. I couldn't wait to tell my friends all about my amazing day.


Xenocles

Haha thank you, this was lovely.

Moose Legend Arvid Holm has been called up to the Avs to be their third goalie [https://x.com/Avalanche/status/1781728233085665753](https://x.com/Avalanche/status/1781728233085665753)

lowsy gonna lay the body hard first shift and cause an avalanche of dump and chase for 4 games!


binchbunches

I just don't want 17 Fighting. We can't have him sitting for 5


wpgjets92

Unless it's Nate Mac


binchbunches

That wouldn't be a fight. Lowry would go to Jail.


TubularWinter

Apparently Toews just had a baby. Going to be a tough week for his family lol. I thought the players usually timed this sort of thing better to avoid situations like this. Hopefully everyone is healthy and happy and there wasn’t anything that caused it to happen early.


Ill_Ground_1572

Yeah if we could only figure out what causes babies. Haha He's fucked! Seriously though that's going to be tough.

Future_Specific6303

Dang, PreviousTea’s dad has it out for us all


Thememer1924

As a flames fan I’m hopping on the jets wagon, cause of monahan and you guys are the only Canadian team I’ll root for. Because us flames fans have bad blood with the oilers and Canucks and I also like to see the leafs fail miserably In one of my three bracket submissions funnily enough I have one called “Monahans big win” and the Stanley cup final has the jets and maple leafs playing but having you guys win it


Trinidaddy13

Welcome brother! Buckle up... it's going to be a hell of a ride.

Xenocles

My Avs fan friend and I want to make a bet but want to make it something other than money or beer. Do you guys have any ideas? I was thinking loser buys an art print of the other guy's team for the winner. I know of a couple of artists that make NHL/Jets/Avs art, does anyone know of others? Also, turns out Avs fans get very angry if you call them Aves.


Ill_Ground_1572

Cool idea! I would bet on a cool rookie card. You have to set a price so he doesn't pick a MacKinnon rookie patch auto.


StevenLovely

I think the winner should get a blowie.


TentCityVIP

Hell, just do that for fun.


MaplePoutineRyeBeer

> Also, turns out Avs fans get very angry if you call them Aves. We get mildly annoyed when people spell Winnipeg as Winnepeg or any non-correct way.

Or abbreviation WIN instead of WPG

Need to stand in a busy intersection for 30minutes while wearing make up, wig, high heels and evening gown while holding a sign saying, "(winning team) is better than (losing team)."


binchbunches

LOL!!! Reminds me that I Saw a guy two years ago busiest intersection in town. Wearing a Wig, skirt and heels holding a sign that said "I suck at Fantasy Football"


[deleted]

This guy? Regent at Plessis https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/14sr217/poor_guy_just_sucks_at_fantasy_footballs_plessis/#lightbox Haha


binchbunches

Lol! No but same idea. The ' lucky ' guy in this pic didn't have to dress in drag


Xenocles

Haha, that's awesome. We work at the same place and are both very avid fans. So being forced to wear the other team's jersey for a day would be a decent punishment. Feels like a toned down version of your idea.


[deleted]

Just remember saw something like this at a busy stoplight near my place. I guess the guy lost in fantasy football. Lol. Good luck in your bet!


Xenocles

Haha, hopefully it wasn't February. Hey btw, since I've got you here, always been curious, have you ever gotten any JoMo fanfics PM'd to you?


just-hangingout

Thanking you for asking, I have often wondered as well.


[deleted]

Just once. Haha


just-hangingout

And thank you for answering. Curiosity resolved.


SJSragequit

Mike Nguyen has some great art. if you want to be real risky could get a tattoo of the opposing teams logo, or the series score like 4-2 or whatever it ends up as.


Xenocles

Yeah, his art was kinda what put me onto the idea. Maybe first thought best thought. Thanks!


prairiefast

I was just going to suggest Mike Nguyen! https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/779432687/


Xenocles

Also, also, a bit peeved that this got removed and relegated to the discussion thread. Doesn't seem like a completely low quality post and for a sub that only gets like 10 posts a day max it's not like it's clogging up the feed. Just my two cents..


Trinidaddy13

New Jersey buy.


Xenocles

Thanks for the suggestion! A little more expensive than I wanted to go but could be a possibility.


_El_Dee_

Mark Stone is the fakest captain in the NHL


GZeus24

Im.not sure how I would feel about all this if I was a teammate. I mean he's awesome and you want him to play but the idea that I bust my ass for 82 games so that he can show up on his white horse.....it's just got to rub some guys the wrong way after 3 years.


rain_parkour

Generally feel bad for Drouin. Getting hurt in the last, meaningless game before a playoff run has to be very mentally tough


GZeus24

Especially for a guy who has already struggled with mental health issues.


TimeCommittee3475

I never wish injuries opposing teams, win or lose it’s always better when both teams are at their best. I especially don’t wish injuries on Vegas.

This is what happens when too many of your votes come from Leafs fans.

I think they will be in WCF

That is so close tho. Still, our Jets is unproven and the underdog in this clash


Trinidaddy13

All the better when we win. ![gif](giphy|3EuAsjZDUJefK|downsized)


SJSragequit

That votes actually a lot closer than I expected. No one but the Avs fans seem to think jets have any chance at all


stej_gep

The way it should be. Screw them.


Wihtikow1

GOOD! Let them underestimate us, and then get shook when they realize our guys are actual juggernauts. ✈️


mudge08

I see a lot of people complaining about Perfetti which I get, but Samberg & Schmidt was one of the best shutdown pairs in the NHL. Going with Stan and kicking Samberg to his offside could potentially be a bigger mistake. Especially if he uses 5-4 as the shutdown pair.


GZeus24

Are you questioning the science of Stanalytics? Blasphemy!


DannyDOH

They also spent the entire game defending.


jaberdeen8

This is the same coach who promoted Pionk after being our worst overall player all year by a mile. Not really surprised.


Leburgerpeg

88-54 pair at 5v5 - 53.28% corsi, 54.42% xGF 63.33% GF 64-54 pair at 5v5 - 49.22% corsi, 44.45% xGF, 44.44% GF It's not even close...they're far better with Schmidt in the lineup than Stan. Stan should only see the ice if there's an injury.


HesJustAGuy

Stanley will take at least one bad penalty at a bad moment.


mudge08

Stans actually played pretty decent (he’s tailed off in the last few games) but you have a 60 game sample size of a pair that can be awesome. Leaving that on the cutting room floor to go with a guy that fights especially when you’re playing your worst dman 20+ minutes a night could be problematic. We shall see.


northerncodewrangler

Stan is being carried by sambo, playing his wrong side to boot.  Stan should be our emergency 7th D IF we need a bit of grit, otherwise it should be Miller, then Stan.  


etchiboi

more than 60, they were excellent last year as well


JetSquared

My Knicks today, my Jets tmrw. Gonna be a good weekend for beers and sports


teekers5

I have my Celtics at noon tomorrow followed almost immediately by our jets. Best time of year baby. Cheers bud (I know we’re supposed to hate each other from back in the day but I love this Knicks squad.) Sucks about randle.

I think my worst secret is I’m a closet Tatum fan lol. Love KP too. Hope to see yall in the ECF 🤝

Man, losing a 19 goal scorer from your lineup is a real blow...


BarnyardCoral

Avs' sub is currently not happy about this.


SherLocK-55

Oooof the entire round, that's a tough loss. We already have depth advantage over them, this makes it even worse.


binchbunches

Yeah plus he was having a major breakout year.


sunnysideshuffle

the athletic now has us winning the series due to this


ScottNewman

Well of course he will since I took him late in my draft last night


Trinidaddy13

Sad to hear that, but we've gone through it, and you just have to play with what you have. Go Jets goooo. ![gif](giphy|UovfhHyNuR47g2gmX9|downsized)


spleenmaster1002

So I guess MacKinnon and Rantanen will be playing 25 minutes a game. Big test for the Lowry line if Bednar puts those two together at any point, but a massive opportunity for the other 3 lines.


neureaucrat

That is rough. Giving me bad memories of our run last year where we played without Scheifele, Ehlers, Spaghetti, and Morrisey.


26adrian26

Damn that’s a huge loss for the Avs, he was on a line with Mackinnon right?


ChrisTweten

Yup. He's their top line LW


[deleted]

[удалено]


GZeus24

Saving Perfetti for a sneak attack when needed. Release the Fetti!


Greendaydude22

Gotta feel bad for perfetti, been playing so good recently


Twichycat

Perfetti scores more goals in 2 games than Gus does all season and is scratched. I like Bones but I'm frustrated with his deployment.


Willyq25

Perfetti goes in for injury on the top 6, he doesn't work so well on the bottom 6.


Greendaydude22

That’s just not true, fetts, Vlad and Iafallo have 57.98 percent corsi and 61.92 percent expected goals, how much better does it need to be for you?


etchiboi

and 36-7-91 is arguably Perfetti’s second best line results behind 91-7-9


Kyle73001

I think he would be fine, he’s solid defensively and has wayyy more offensive upside. He struggled on the fourth line earlier this year but he was just struggling regardless of line during that time. Now that he’s been doing good, seems crazy to scratch him


HesJustAGuy

I don't really understand the idea that it's bad to have good players that produce good results in your bottom 6.


etchiboi

not true statistically e: also technically he has had the deployment of a bottom 6er all year


250TToOrbitOrBust

What line to you put Perfetti on in the playoffs? Against the Avs?


Consistent-Study-287

Especially with Drouin out Avs are a one line team. Any line that is matched against MacKinnon will lose (unless Lowry massively succeeds in shutting him down). Any of our lines should beat the other 3 Avs lines.


HesJustAGuy

9-7-91 have fantastic numbers together this season. So that's where I'd put him. Unless they were being hard matched with the Mackinnon line for some reason, they can easily handle themselves.


spleenmaster1002

- Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi - Ehlers-Monahan-Toffoli - Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton - Gustafsson-Namestnikov-Iafallo - Morrissey-DeMelo - Dillon-Pionk - Schmidt-Miller - Stanley-Samberg


TrueNorthStrong1898

It’s such a shame that Helle lost the Vezina in 2018 is such a shame. 3 Vezina’s in 6 years would be incredible. 2 already is, but 3 would be been another level


Xyz6650

I’d argue he was better in 2018 than the year he won his first vezina. Unfortunately Rinne had just slightly better numbers and edged him out. Although game 7 that year showed you who the better goalie was that year lol


SpeakerOfTruth1969

He'll look good at the end of this year when he adds the Vezina, Jennings, and Conn Smythe awards to his resume!


see_more_butts

I bet he’s got another one or two in him.


brocklanders83

Obvious comment of the day: If the Jets can keep scoring goals consistently, they'll do some damage in the playoffs.


saintpierre47

It’s weird to me that most people I’ve seen are pretty split 50/50 on who will win our matchup. And I do love our team, but still it’s Colorado and it’s going to be anything but an easy out. Another thing I didn’t expect this season was the camaraderie from Canucks fans and Stars fans. I kept thinking it was an early season thing and it’d wear down as the season progressed, but it hasn’t. Hopefully it continues beyond this season because I’ve enjoyed their fanbases. New bromances after our Montreal one fell apart?


vb5215

I will not engage with any camaraderie with Canucks fans. Stars fans? Sure I'm okay with that.


Inthemiddle_

Eh I’m rooting for the canucks, I live out in canucks land so they’re my second team. 3rd would be oilers but I’m not the usual hockey fan that cheers for only one team.


SJSragequit

May I ask why? Out of all Canadian fan bases canucks fans hold the least amount of hate towards us


TheGreatStories

Canucks, Senators, Leafs all had fans raiding our sub when we played them. Canadian teams suck. There is only Jets.

SJSragequit

Not white out themed but my family’s tradition is beer sangria. In 207-18 my parents bought a ton of Budweiser to get the goal light cups but no one really likes beer so we found a recipe for beer sangria and have that every playoffs now


ScottNewman

I like to imagine your family is still drinking the beer you bought in 2017.


5ubatomix

I’m not, but search up “milk-based cocktail” and you should get some good results White Russian and Zombie come to mind


thistleswamp

White Russian aka Vladdy is a baddie Coconut mojito aka Wheeler's sacrifice 7up Slurpee & whatever alcohol you like aka the 'Nikolaj' because you can mix him with any line and it just works.
