The trip to Winnipeg is off to a rocky start as the charter had to fly from Bedford to Logan as Hanscom didn't have enough fuel available.

Terrible what happened in Prague.

I am baking all day tomorrow so it will be nice to crash out at the end of the day and watch the Bs win.

Hooray Lohrei is back. Still lumps and bumps but the improvement in his game day to day is obvious.

I've watched a few Jets games this year and I like the way their roster is built. They have a blend of talent and toughness. Certainly beatable, but may be a hard matchup and should make for an entertaining game. I think they are 8-0-3 against eastern conference teams this year if I'm not mistaken?

Go B's

Should be practicing getting the puck out of the D zone, since that's been a problem for at least 5 years!

the Jets have no weak spots and play a fast game with fantastic shooters, so it will be a test! Hope our goalie is ready, as he will be tested.

Yep, thanks to the heist they pulled in the PLD trade and some smart construction, they have a balanced and fairly deep forward group. Their D is not great but Bowness coaches them up well. (I like Morrisey very much and Pionk has his uses offensively. ) Weirdly, they are playing better without Kyle Conner.) Maybe They are pulling together, listening to their coach, and playing smarter because they do not have their best sniper.

If bruins can bring same intensity as last game i will be happy win or lose.

But its a veteran group with an excellent netminder behind them. Have to work for your goals against this group.

As usual, Kyle Connor is a minus players. Currently worst on the team at -4. Also a team worst 3 hits in 26 games.

"You know, I read it in a magazine..."

But they're so spaced out.

Love the title of the thread! Time to stop going to OT and start winning in regulation again.

Connor's plus/minus, while not irrelevant, really wouldn't bother me as a Jets fan. Not everyone is going to or needs to be a fully-rounded, defensively responsible player. If a guy goes out and produces consistently, then as long as they're not lazy or committing too many outright blunders, they've still got a lot of value in my eyes. And Connor has been almost a PPG player pretty much his entire career and has never struck me as having a poor attitude or anything like that. Not to dig up old arguments, but I'd happily have him in Boston. Raw offensive talent isn't that common, and the Bruins could use more of it.

A pure goal scorer, no doubt about that.

 

[quietbruinfan]

I think I am temporarily out of the prediction business. I will just say this one scares me. The Jets are playing very well and we just are not.

I think you bring much more to the table then predictions of Bruins losses.

He’s the worst defensive forward in the league.
