Around the League Report

Spoiler!

Pre-game Irony

The Jet's could blow these guys away -- like 6-2 or something, if they get off to a good start. Calgary is a choppy hacky team, and not near the talent level of the Jets.

Great GDT.

Should be a good game, really can't wait to see Matthew "Better than Laine?" Tkachuk.

Big Bad Flames

The way the Flames targeted McDavid and Draisaitl on Saturday was pretty pathetic. Every whistle someone took a shot at one of them. The worst being Tkachuk. Hopefully the Jets can just keep calm and take the power plays and make those idiots pay.

Why people go into opposition GDT's is beyond me.

I plan on talking plenty of trash about those cow **** smelling flames. I hate them, and I want to crush them. I want to beat them so bad in that giant butt seat of an arena that they burn it down afterwards.

My 8 year old niece: "Who are we playing?"
Me: "Calgary"
Niece: "Oh I don't like them."
(She doesn't follow hockey)
Me: "Really? What is it you don't like about them?"
Niece: "I don't like how they play. Oh and also, they're weirdos."

Dube Dube Doo

Aaaaaand Myers with the give away.

Can we give him away?

Myers you ####ing pylon.

That's insulting to pylons

Oh Myers, Myers, Myers

I was hoping we'd gotten over letting guys score their first NHL goals against us

Laine what the #### was that lol

Wasn't Dube the guy that Laine was talking mad #### to?

Serves Laine right for tellin' Dube to go back to the minors, back in the preseason. Just too soon. + where was Laine there

He was right in front of the net, watching Dube score.

Myers managed to give the puck away and then lose the front of the net when the puck went around the boards. What is he covering the circle opposite the puck that's more important than the guy standing in front of the net?

Myers writing that Pizza book

Myers pizza party with an early appearance. Weak on the boards. Helle looked in okay position, slipped under the left knee/5 hole. Ugh.

Fire extinguisher mode -Jets. Great!

Bennett’s Snipe

Well ####. Alright its gonna be one of thoooose games. Hahaha

Trouba looking like Myers out there.

Sloppy as **** in our own end. About 3 ugly plays in a row. Yikes.

Trouba and Helly...WTF

Make a save Hellesuck.
smh

We need a save by our goalie.

We lost our mojo pretty quickly

So the flames have 2 goals on 6 sog?

Blake “Mark” Wheeler

Oh my ####ing god LEARN HIS ####ING NAME YOU DOLTS

MARK WHEELER, DRINK!!!

Was that a Mark Wheeler?

The return of Mark Wheeler!

Mark Wheeler back at it again!

I swear its the Mark Wheeler curse.

Whenever a sports net announcer utters his name there is some Hex that activates

Blake "Mark" Wheeler's back bitches!

Tkachuk chases Hellebuyck

Get Helle out of there, wtf was that.

Helle sucks

Take a timeout and pull Helle, this is gross.

That can't go in. That is a terrible goal.

#### tkachuk and #### sports net

I think our strategy of play hard for 0:15 and turtle for 59:45 isn't going to work tonight.

Time to pull Helle.

Make a fricking save

Helle can't buy a save today, or couldn't, rather.

Can't wait for the "Tkachuck vs Laine" Hot take bull**** after this game

So far he's looking like a real player this year. Can't fault them for bringing it up.

Janko Unchained

Our 1st line just got manhandled by Calgary's 4th...

First line looking like hot garbage.

We are getting knighted

So this is how we play when we meet playoff teams...the Jets need to play bottom feeders more.

Jets need the next goal or we might find out what the Golden Knights found out on Monday

Need to score before this period ends.

If we get the next goal, we win this game.

Johnny knights the Jets

Again we are being Knighted

Lotta game left here.

EDIT: lol

**** off

Myers again .Lol.

Well damn

We should play both goalies at once.

wow.... our D coverage is just ****. Of course it goes of Myers skate..

Can we just concede?

Myers is playing like he's betting the over every game this season.

Can we simulate the rest of this game?

Lol ****ing joke. . .

Our goalies just can't stop anything right now...

Do we have another goalie to put in.....

Between Myers and two goalies who can't stop a beach ball......

5-1. Good night, ladies

Worst period of hockey for the Jets this year by far, give the Flames credit they took it to us

Has any team scored 5 goals in one period vs us?

First period summary:

Tkachuk goal was on the goalie. The rest were brutal D zone giveaways/coverage. Myers puts one in the net, lets Dube camp out in front on one, Trouba brutal clear into two Flames and then lets Gaudreau walk in and take his time to find his shot.

Just turned on the game. Saw score. Cried a little. Turned it off.

Calgary has been playing fantastic hockey lately. And the Jets pull a stinker.

Well at least we don't need to score 5 in one period, I hear that's next to impossible.

Big Save Dave

I assume Rittich will start tonite. He gives them a far better chance at a win.

I've watched CGY a few times this year. They seem to get decent possession and generate a lot of chances but just weren't scoring on them. Consistently anyway.

Or Mike Smith just torpedoed them too often.

Good news they haven't scored in the second, bad news neither have we

Goalies sure love to pretend they want to fight

Chronicles of Rittich for Flames.

Pitch black for Jets.

When they say Riddick I can't help but imagine Vin Diesel with those goggles in the Calgary net

Rittich was about to make dust out of Dustin.

Damn Jack. You have all day to aim and you still hit him square in the chest. What?

Put one in on this overrated bum Rittich.

About ****ing time Jets

Nice save Rittich.

Their one goalie is better than our two goalies tonite.

Good period by Jets. This is the team I’m used to seeing.

Too little too late probably.

A Wee Slewfoot on the Goalie

What a fricking dive

It was outside the crease

Hmm hardly touched him and he was outside the crease but not going to win this one.

Rittich was completely outside of the crease. Not even just a skate hanging out, he was completely outside of the crease.

Did you hear Kelly Hrudey almost got hit by a bus.

It just missed him and went between his legs.

Rittich makes no attempt to continue to play hockey. Doesn’t deserve that call.

Ryan with the EN

C'mon Laine, make that save

Well, that was about as good of an effort as you could expect, from being down 4 goals in the 1st. Rittich did his job on the other end.

This game reminded me of the Pavelec era.

I said 6-2 with us outshooting by 20 shots at the end of the 1st.
Someone gild me.

Damn so that's what ENG against feel like

Their goalie was real solid tonight. Hellebuyck stunk.

We have to pick up our 5 on 5 game. Our checking line comes out and gives us a lead on the first shift. Then our defense collapses. That 3rd pairing is a nightmare. Morrissey-Trouba weren't particularly good either. But you know that's an off night.

Rittich was good. Too bad Trouba got his skate in there, because that sequence would have likely resulted in a goal, regardless of the flopping. That was our chance to come back on the comeback kids.

I think Calgary is a more complete team than us. No passengers, they attack the puck well. I've been impressed with their team all year.

I was really disappointed that Maurice ran his stars for almost 2 minutes with the goalie out. The Flames got line changes in, and you knew they were going to win the foot races eventually. Our big guns are not the only star power we have. Put in Lowry, Roslovic, Perreault, Ehlers and our 2 speedster d. Long shifts are recipes for goals against. The analytics surely tell you that.

But life goes on. Beat Minnesota and we're still 2nd best in the West. Lose and we're moving into the middle of the pack, so hopefully there's some resolve and some lineup changes for next game.

Oh, Surely Not Again

Where's our thousand page long "WhAt'S goInG oN In CaLgARy" thread?

Everyone salivating over Tkatchuk before each game. Gag

And then during the game they will be salivating over Sam Bennett.

That was sneaky dirty by Scheifele.

Time for some turtling by Tkachuk.

Does anybody have a gif of that rat *****EBAG Tachuk turtling against Edmonton?

Helleybuck channeling his inner Talbot tonight.

Winnipeg is better than this but they're making it too easy for Calgary.

Jesus 5-1 !!

Are the Flames actually playing that good? They’re scaring me lately .

This is what depth looks like people. If the Flames goaltending wasn’t hot garbage early in the season, they’d have 6 more points.

Is this Rittich guy legit? ****, what I wouldn’t give for some high quality goaltending.

Of course CGy gets a favor from the ref

Smith did a good job teaching Rittich how to be a dramatic crybaby.

Why in the world does this league bend over backwards for the Flames?
