Don Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 All they do is cough it up every time they get the puck.Seeing as how they still have Hainsey, Bogosian, and Oduya playing defense, they're going to turn the puck over. A lot.But but but we're supposed to shut up about how theyre still the Thrashers....

Still MIGHTY Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I went to the Jets/Yotes game yesterday and it was definitely weird. You look up and you see Hull, Steen, and Hawerchuk's retired numbers. The crowd was probably 30-35% Jets fans, and they were nice and loud. The weirdest thing though is that Phoenix was almost commemorating the fact that it was New Jets vs Old Jets. They had a commemorative puck for the first ever Jets/Yotes game and some other stuff during the game.The fans were pretty good for the most part. Cheering for their team on each side. It was strange to see some of the Phoenix fans had some anti-Winnipeg signs, considering Winnipeg never really did anything to them (I guess trying to poach the Yotes over the last few years) and Phoenix was the one who took the first Jets. There were some loud, drunk, obnoxious Winnipeg fans near me that got the crowd to turn on them only because of how obnoxious those guys in particular were being. (They weren't much older than me. Maybe 7 or 8 when the first Jets left.)Probably the weirdest, and really kinda low blow, thing that happened was the Yotes showed highlights of the very first Coyotes game in Phoenix after the move from Winnipeg. Every Winnipeg fan booed as loud and hard as they could, and I couldn't blame them. I guess the Yotes were trying to honor the Winnipeg connection, but I'm sure for the people that could remember the Jets leaving, that wasn't the best thing to show. But hey, it's your arena (kinda). Show what you want.As I was leaving the arena, I patted a couple Jets fans on the back just saying good luck and that They're still the Thrashers. That's why they're so bad. I mean I was excited to watch the Jets, but actually watching them, I was quickly reminded that they are indeed still the Thrashers. And they still suck.Side note on that, I saw a couple guys wearing Thrashers jerseys and had like Thrashers season ticket lanyards around their necks and stuff. I mean I guess you still love your team, but what damn masochists they must be, especially with that many Jets fans in the arena.But just based on the atmosphere for this one game, as long as the Yotes are around, this is going to be a big rivalry for the fans at least. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well, we can all hope there won't be any more of these awkward Jets-Coyotes games.The Jets really ought to move Byfuglien back to forward. The Hawks quit on the Buff-at-defense experiment at least three times. It won't change the fortunes of the team overnight, but at least it gives them a little more presence up front and stupid-proofs Byfuglien a little bit. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't change the fortunes of the team overnight, but at least it gives them a little more presence up front and stupid-proofs Byfuglien a little bit.He's practically playing forward half the time anyways. I would probably say he ventured past the dots every other time that Winnipeg gained the zone when he was on the ice. And when he takes the puck across the blueline himself, he's much more apt to continue on down low.He was extremely productive on defense last year, but he can cause a lot of havoc when he's down low full time. I'd do it if the Jets had a viable defenseman to take his spot back there. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 And we finally got more than one goal from the Ducks tonight. The second period felt a bit sloppy, but they more than made up for that with a three goal surge in the third, and points from the top line at last Koivu's still having trouble with faceoffs it seems.

eliminator jr Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Fun game to watch. Penguins were obviously exhausted, and it showed. That they even scored a goal should be considered some sort of moral victory. The Winnipeg crowd was awesome, especially at the end. Ondrej Pavelec should steal more than a few games for the Jets this year. #craigadams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for being exhausted, they are going to have to get some good time off here soon, tonight will already be game 8 of the season for them and its just 13 days old.

Maz Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I know I am not allowed to have any opinions in these matters, but even after watching the explanation video I do not think Letang's hit was suspendable. Was it a penalty? Yes, by all means it was, especially with the new rule, but it wasn't worthy of suspension.
