Yes but some of the calls they have made have been weak.

Excellent win for the Jets. All four lines played well, with a few D zone breakdowns. The build was very loud again tonight. We are ready for the playoffs.

Really a nice, at times smothering, effort and terrific win

Great win* last night. Dominant and stifling throughout. I thought the officiating was suspect; seemed like the Blues got away with a lot of greasy stuff.

Now to rest up for a huge game in Dallas on Thursday.

*franchise record (53)

Yes, the Dallas game will be a big game. Hope, Miller, Ehlers, and Pionk are back. Little concerned about NV7. Only 3 points in his last 10 games.

How in the world did Dallas lose to Vancouver with leads of 3-0 and then 5-2 with 1:06 left? I don't recall such a collapse in recent history. This by a team that many pundits claim are the Stanley Cup favourites. Just wow! They are going to be a surly bunch on Thursday night.

Vancouver scores 5 goals in the third period to take Dallas to OT and then scores in OT for the win. Jets now 4 points up on Dallas.

Brilliant. I was obviously counting the Canucks out of that one. To find out they stole a point from Dallas makes it so sweet.

All the best, Chaz.

I don't watch a lot of Jets games so grain of salt here, but

Against the Blues.....The Jets were playing high level defence.

No giveaways in their own end, mostly pretty smooth getting the puck out of their own end, not leaving the goalie to fend for himself....forwards that previous seasons seemed uninterested in backchecking now seen in their own end fighting for the puck.

That is a welcome change.

That was an exciting game. Barron's goal was outstanding.

Edit... I should be a hockey analyst... the athletic " Hellebuyck is facing fewer shots (41 unblocked per 60 minutes of play, the lowest since his rookie season) and scoring chances (2.77 expected goals against, the lowest rate since 2017-18) thanks to improved team defense. They are super stingy in shots and chances against and do a great job breaking out of their own zone."

Sounds like NP4 and NE27 could be back tonight. Big game for both teams.

J5V · April 11, 2025, 03:02:10 AM

Dominating, impressive performance by the Jets tonight for the 4-0 win. Wow!

The Jets need just 1 more point to clinch the division and that could come as early as Saturday night against Chicago.

There are three games left -- Chicago, Edmonton, and Anaheim.

Wonderful to see Pionk and Ehlers back.

I can't wait for game 83.

Go Jets Go!
