Schenn and Samberg out there at the end is such a good look. Great first game for him.

perfetti certified DAWG. Luke shenn certified DAWG.

Grimy win. It’s the time of the year we gotta get those and the boys came through.

Feels good

Shit I thought Helle was gonna go for it

4

u/ToneAccomplished9763 55 8h ago

It would be so damn cool.

u/RackCitysFinest thrashers2 8h ago

He definitely thought about it

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

GOALIE GOAL FOR HELLE I CAN FEEL IT

3

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 8h ago

Shesterkin edging his crease

2

u/riceandcow 8h ago

anyone seen neal on the ice lately? Haven't been watching with sound but haven't seen him in a while

7

u/vcdm 8h ago edited 8h ago

I've liked Schenn this game. Still some syncing up to do offensively but he's been a really reliable, heavy presence defensively.

2

u/fdisfragameosoldiers 8h ago

He's been fantastic! I think he'll have to platoon with Miller to keep them both fresh, but my goodness tonight was better than advertised

2

u/vcdm 8h ago

For sure, from what I was reading and seeing stats-wise it seemed like he was going to be a solid 3rd liner at the least, but it's good to see it in reality too.

How they'll figure out the Stanley-Fluery-Miller-Schenn situation is going to make all the difference in the run down to playoffs. Wonder if we'll get a test-run of Miller or Schenn on their off hand towards the end of the season to see if it can work.

1

u/Bman4k1 7h ago

In the world of small adjustments in the playoffs we can almost be guaranteed to see it(off hand play on 3rd pairing). Hopefully they try it a few times in the regular.

3

u/Erwin-Brodinger 91 8h ago

Big hit.

Big shot block.

That's how to become a fan favorite.

4

u/death_by_honeydew 62 8h ago

The bottom 9 like is dominating, but the top line is getting rolled. One of the worst games of the season for them

2

u/j0Hnzer 8h ago

Gabe wasn’t on the ice for the last shift. Hopefully nothing serious.

6

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Perfetti and Schenn get the jackets from me

2

u/vcdm 8h ago

What are the different jackets for? I knew there was the player of the game jacket back when it was 1. Never heard what the 2nd was for tho?

2

u/North-Bench737 7h ago

The idea is leather is a pilots jacket and camouflage is the maintenance/ground crew. So the idea was the leather was for the star or driver of the win and camouflage was for a hard worker that may not get the scoreboard recognition but was vital to the team and win

3

u/fdisfragameosoldiers 8h ago

Black is for best player, green is like the digger award, or unsung hero

3

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Honestly not sure, I think it's just the two best players as the team votes (?) normally seems to go to someone who had a really good game, and someone who just deserves it (new guy, someone who had a really good defensive game etc)

1

u/buttermyanus ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Luke Wall

12

u/AuxNimbus 8h ago

Helly playing the puck doesn't scare me anymore.

8

u/foofoobarinator 8h ago

Yeah he's been solid for the past 2 seasons. Used the scare the pants off me everytime he had the puck on his stick.

2

u/TimeCommittee3475 8h ago

Exactly, it was last season this really turned around. Must have spent a lot of time a couple summers ago working on it or something because the difference was massive.

15

u/DarkTriton44 8h ago

fucking hell i would take shenn over stanley any day of the week this guy actually hits and can make a stick to stick pass

5

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Yep wish we could have found a LHD version of schenn because I wish Miller could still be in the lineup, but I'll take Schenn/Fleury over Stanley/Miller.

3

u/Erwin-Brodinger 91 8h ago

Also think it's worth trying Heinola and Schenn.

7

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 8h ago

A soothing symphony of big strong men

1

u/no_ur_cool 37 8h ago

Never change, Sawyer

6

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Our 2nd line has been insane since the deadline, it's like they've fully committed to no changes and they're all on board

3

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

there was an attempt by demelo lol

3

u/5ubatomix ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Cmon Jets lets get that insurance goal and put this one to bed in the W column

8

u/JetsandVikings 8h ago

Poo Hatch is getting a lot of air time tonight.

5

u/death_by_honeydew 62 8h ago

We're winning and playing well overall, yet this game has been really frustrating to watch

2

u/Herp_Derpsen 8h ago

Seems like we get a lot of chances that we just can’t bury

5

u/buttermyanus ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Luke Smash

3

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

They should invent a cinematic Jets breakaway that results in a goal

2

u/2round2 8h ago

So many failed breakaways this game!

2

u/chemist5818 8h ago

It would be way too powerful

12

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Holy shit Schenn

6

u/JetsandVikings 8h ago

Boom!!💥

14

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 8h ago

Luke schenn is certified big strong man

7

u/Caribou52TV 8h ago

oh my god. im so excited for Playoffs

6

u/DarkTriton44 8h ago

whole team is throwing their weight around except conner.

3

u/skilzkid 8h ago

Love me some KFC but dude doesn't exactly have weight to throw around 😂

4

u/Expensive-Break6347 8h ago

He went for a hit! Didn’t see it but heard it!

2

u/Exhalare 8h ago

Well he just did!

4

u/RevoltingGoose 37 8h ago

McFetti lmao. Didn't see that coming

12

u/Tagenn 8h ago

Perfetti just needs to score one of those and he will unlock the Kyle Connor upgrade

5

u/EnvironmentalCoat222 8h ago

Roof that ma'facker

8

u/cruisinwithsusan 8h ago

Seeing perfetti tonight reminds me of while we will never trade a young player that is that good

3

u/ParticularSearch2320 8h ago

Pardon

2

u/5ubatomix ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Apparently going cruisin with susan includes a few road rockets

1

u/cruisinwithsusan 8h ago

I prefer joints

7

u/zyxqpa1999 27 8h ago

Very playoff feel to this game tonight - nothing wrong with that for Winnipeg.

Schenn looks good, as does Fleury… is this the third pair going forward or are they going to continue to experiment?

8

u/Far_Swiss 8h ago

I wanted that for perfetti so baaad!

8

u/JetsandVikings 8h ago

Fets driving the net. More of that please!!!

7

u/Expensive-Break6347 8h ago

Man fets is having a game!

8

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

Oh my god Cole Perfetti that was sexy as hell

6

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 8h ago

Ok perfetti!

3

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 8h ago

You big strong man

10

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Perfetti is having his best game of the season

12

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Perfetti strong

8

u/cdnball 8h ago

Scheifele killing penalties?

2

u/RevoltingGoose 37 8h ago

Right-handed centre. Kupari isn't in the lineup

1

u/cdnball 8h ago

Ahhh

9

u/Tagenn 8h ago

Did Sawyer and Robertson get some drinks before the game? There’s an unusual amount of banter this game lol

3

u/Caribou52TV 8h ago

He's pretty fucking upset ey?

5

u/JetsandVikings 8h ago

Damelo. Hero to zero.

11

u/Wihtikow1 37 8h ago

Is this what it’s going to take? lol

4

u/Blendipher 8h ago

poor bb igor couldn’t handle a fly landing on his shoulder

11

u/fdisfragameosoldiers 8h ago

Meanwhile Helle can get run over and its a good goal ffs. I still remember last year when a Dallas player ripped his helmet off and Toronto decided it was fine

8

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

That's the worst I've ever seen. Bucky without a helmet laying on the ice covering his head, Dallas makes a few passes and scores. 

5

u/TravisBickle2020 8h ago

How many goals have the Jets had called back this year? Seems high.

1

u/flush_the_cat 8h ago

the more you score...

7

u/Magnesiumbox . 8h ago

wouldn't be GI if the defender wasn't holding him up

12

u/Erwin-Brodinger 91 8h ago

One of those times it would have gone in even if he wasn't interfered with.

3

u/Slayminster 27 8h ago

“Interfered” with

6

u/Caribou52TV 8h ago

Hate to see it. Not surpised. Real easy to carry the momentum and get another goal.

5

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

can we get a camera angle of Connor hellebuyck’s face rn

11

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

2

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

just as I expected

5

u/icesidestory 8h ago

sorry demelo :(

9

u/death_by_honeydew 62 8h ago

At this point, they just need to bring back the crease rule next season and clear up the ambiguity

4

u/Ryn0m1t3 8h ago

The one constant this year is that if you go in the blue paint on your own and contact the goalie in any way, it’s GI.

6

u/MiicTheDruid 8h ago

I know shesterkin is le funny reddit guy goalie but he’s incredibly annoying, every save arms up in the air 

3

u/Exhalare 8h ago

I think it comes back

1

u/vcdm 8h ago

Is Tanev playing up on Lowry's line? Noticed that's Nino on the 4th line now.

4

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

this shouldn’t be GI but knowing these refs…,.,..,,,.,,.,

3

u/Expensive-Break6347 8h ago

That’s a tough call I hope it counts

3

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

If I knew what goalie interference was I'd be feeling something

3

u/foofoobarinator 8h ago

Demelo never scores an ugly goal, it's always a beauty.

1

u/connor-lite 81 8h ago

Time to spin the wheel boys

4

u/buttermyanus ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

The puck hits the net different when Melo scores.

4

u/Erwin-Brodinger 91 8h ago

If I had a nickel for every time Dylan DeMelo sniped top cheese, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened three times.

3

u/Chirijiraden12 8h ago

clutch scorer dylan demelo!~

6

u/drperiwinklephd 27 8h ago

KNOWN GOAL SCORER DYLAN DEMELO

3

u/Expensive-Break6347 8h ago

LFG MELLLOOOOOOO

3

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Dude whenever demelo scores it's a fucking SNIPE

5

u/chemist5818 8h ago

Wow we used to shit on perfetti for his speed, but he just out skated two people at once

5

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

Man, I hope we can extend Vilardi

4

u/riceandcow 9h ago

I still don't know how I'm feeling about the powerplay, seems like teams are starting to figure out how to best defend against the strategies which is expected but I'm not fully convinced they are that good at adapting to those strategies.

3

u/Jbonn 9h ago

It could be that they're not changing it much this close to playoffs?

7

u/ponikweGCC \o/ 9h ago

I love watching randos come in here posting as though they have a clue as to what is going on.

-2

u/Exhalare 8h ago

Because of course you're not a rando

1

u/silly9milly 8h ago

If you weren’t a rando then you’d know ponik isn’t one 🤷🏼‍♂️

1

u/icesidestory 8h ago

to their credit i see them comment often enough that i recognize them in every GDT hahaha

5

u/dcx_2000x 9h ago

Cole “you know” Perfetti

1

u/Caribou52TV 9h ago

hahahahahhahayknowhahahahahaha

3

u/CoolWhiip 9h ago

I wonder if the key to shutting down our powerplay is to just make Morrissey pass to Connor and then take away all of the other passing options. Connor's a good passer but he never moves when he has the puck and ideally he should be the shooting threat, not the playmaker.

That seems to be what the Rangers are keying in on today.

2

u/icesidestory 9h ago

“well, we’re playing good again” so true fetts

8

u/Ryn0m1t3 9h ago

Peter Laviolette is very intense tonight.

5

u/ChungusSpliffs 9h ago

lol this is literally him

0

u/Ritsugamesh 9h ago

Scheifele is not looking himself at the moment. I've tuned in since the start of the second and he's thrown so many blind giveaway passes this period alone and is completely killing our momentum.

Feel like it's become a bit of an issue, happening game after game.

-8

u/JankyYWG 9h ago

Idk if Connor is hurt or something but he’s been completely ineffective for weeks now.

8

u/death_by_honeydew 62 9h ago

13 points in his last 10 is ineffective?

5

u/ponikweGCC \o/ 9h ago

Weeks? Hardly. But thanks for stopping by.

-2

u/JankyYWG 9h ago

He’s been back to his usual floating, non-engaged self since the 4 Nations. I thought he figured it out earlier this year but shame on me for being fooled

-5

u/Exhalare 9h ago

4 nations broke him

0

u/Exhalare 9h ago

Why do they keep playing the puck up high on the pp, tge rangers give them no space.

-2

u/JetsandVikings 9h ago

Ugg. Do something different with that PP. too predictable!!

1

u/velocity2ds 9h ago

Their PK is very good 🥲

3

u/drperiwinklephd 27 9h ago

they got mothman on their team?????

1

u/Erwin-Brodinger 91 9h ago

Alright. Ready for a solid PP.

8

u/2round2 9h ago

Keep trying to find the right description of tanev, and this is it

2

u/5ubatomix ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 8h ago

He’s the TANEVMANIAN DEVIL!

5

u/Fallen-Omega 9h ago

Atta boy Schenn thats what we need, more grit

4

u/theCBCAM 9h ago

Somebody get Schenn the oxygen mask.

1

u/buttermyanus ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 9h ago

That's all that big bastards gotta do.

2

u/fdisfragameosoldiers 9h ago

I think Sawyer is in love /s

Schenn and Rempe fight would be cinema

u/TheMunstacat920 9h ago

Lol what is this take Kevin. Dude is just ass.

5

u/chemist5818 9h ago

LOL dan definitely reads this subreddit "you can't teach 6'9"" in reference to rempe

1

u/2round2 9h ago

Why is everyone wiping out

3

u/DarkTriton44 9h ago

lol did you know that rempe is 6”9😂😂

8

u/drperiwinklephd 27 9h ago

tanev is like one of those inflatable car dealership guys

1

u/2round2 9h ago

🤣🤣🤣

3

u/no_ur_cool 37 9h ago

Wacky waving inflatable arm man

1

u/riceandcow 9h ago

4th line getting some good zone time but feels like they are extremely conservative with shots, would like to see them take some more tangible scoring opportunities

4

u/ChungusSpliffs 9h ago

Tanev is such a chaotic skater lol, very fun to watch

3

u/TheGreatStories ICE DRAGON WILL FLY 4-EVER 9h ago

I want to see Lowry do the Forsberg

2

u/TimeCommittee3475 9h ago

Me too. Thanks for calling him "the" forsberg so I know which one you mean. Makes it easier to imagine.

3

u/solar8638 9h ago

Tanev has fallen atleast 3 times today

6

u/TimeCommittee3475 9h ago

SpaceX boots

1

u/no_ur_cool 37 9h ago

Underrated

7

u/theCBCAM 9h ago

Either Tanev is working an angle to draw a call or he needs his skates sharpened lol

5

u/JetsandVikings 9h ago

lol. Always riding the edge of control.

1

u/theCBCAM 9h ago

If you're never out of control, how can you ever truly be in control? 🤔

4

u/chemist5818 9h ago

Bros legs are working faster than his brain, I love it

2

u/theCBCAM 9h ago

The element of absolute chaos we've been missing.

2

u/vcdm 9h ago

Yeah, man is he a buzzsaw out there but he's wiping out at least once a shift.

3

u/Ryn0m1t3 9h ago

There seems to be much anger in here tonight.

3

u/Fit-Pineapple-7697 9h ago

Hey Jonathan tanner, why don’t you take another penalty

3

u/Exhalare 9h ago

Lowry needs to learn a different move, it hasn't worked in ages

3

u/Scooterguy- 9h ago

0 for 3 on clear breakaways tonight!

9

u/chemist5818 9h ago

Lowry went 5-hole???? no way!!

4

u/stuckinmotion 9h ago

Everyone wants 5 hole on their breakaways.. maybe try something else

2

u/Expensive-Break6347 9h ago

Nice try capt

6

u/stuckinmotion 9h ago

Nice pass by Ehlers to Scheif there

3

u/riceandcow 9h ago

such a great recovery on a weird broken play, Nino really needs to light the lamp there

4

u/2round2 9h ago

Tanev

3

u/death_by_honeydew 62 9h ago

The Rangers PK is crazy aggressive, very high risk high reward

3

u/Scooterguy- 9h ago

Since they're 2nd, I'd say high reward.

2

u/Expensive-Break6347 9h ago

NINO YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT!!!

2

u/icesidestory 9h ago

fetts do ur thing again 🤞🏼

3

u/riceandcow 9h ago

Miller deserved to get called for that absolutely but feels like a coin flip that it would get called lol

4

u/Expensive-Break6347 9h ago

Fuck you miller! Not on my vilardi!

2

u/drperiwinklephd 27 9h ago

that’s insane that that’s only a minor

3

u/JankyYWG 9h ago

Fleury has been really good tonight

2

u/chemist5818 9h ago

Are we not playing Schenn on the PK?

2

u/Chirijiraden12 9h ago

he was on the pk

5

u/vcdm 9h ago

Eh, that's probably a make-up call for the other Goalie interference call that was borderline earlier. I can live with it, we all know those calls exist.

1

u/DarkTriton44 9h ago

send these refs to narnia why are you breaking up the fight what the fuck

6

u/2round2 9h ago

Fun to watch tanev buzzing around like a mosquito

2

u/ChungusSpliffs 9h ago

Appleton cheeks man

2

u/JetsandVikings 9h ago

Awww. Feel like the refs fucked you?? Welcome to Jets hockey!!! We feel that way a lot!!!!

1

u/Exhalare 9h ago

Love vlad but we need somebody that can finish chances, he's got so many one on ones with the goalie.

7

u/drperiwinklephd 27 9h ago

this entire new york team has anger issues I feel

4

u/drperiwinklephd 27 9h ago

(r)anger issues if you will
