GDT #46: 2024/01/24 - The Uglier, Dumber Little Brother

High flying jets come to town. They've been solid defensively this year backstopped by the best goalie in the league this year, while being averagish offensively. Not any legit elite guys up front but solid scoring depth.

IMO we outplayed both the high flying Oilers and the high flying Canucks, only to lose because the Marty Jones Bubble burst on us. So it would be real nice if Sammy could come in and be not-disastrous for the 2nd game in a row, which with our recent play should be good enough to beat most teams.

Jets are resting Hellebuyck and are missing Scheifele and Vilardi, arguably their two best forwards this year, so that's a nice bonus. Broissoit is no slouch in net tho, so he probably won't hand this one to us.

Wasn't Kyle Connor challenging Matthews in the scoring race prior to injury? I'd say he's pretty good.

Consistent ~PPG guy who doesn't do defense at all.

[Deckie007]

[GeneralT001]

(we're in third tho)

Hell...a win tonight might put us top 10 overall...dare we dream...................

 

[zeke]

yup with a little scoreboard luck.

a couple wins here before the break to maybe get us into the top-10 for the long break would be a nice relief.

 

[GeneralT001]

Nicer also that we have a few games in hand

 

[zeke]

nice.

 

[CRL]

Hideous jerseys = automatic loss

 

[zeke]

3-4 too-cute own-zone giveaways already.

 

[zeke]

make that 5-6 now.

move the fucking puck.

 

[zeke]

make that 9-10 now.

for fuck's sake.

 

[Killer93]

9-1 Jets shots, seriously?

 

[CRL]

1 shot at half of period sounds like solid game plan
