Hard earned money t go tonight. Better not be a crapfest!!!

[Jockitch]

Exciting win ...... the big 6 came thru, HellB was solid & the Dmen seemed pretty thorough.
.......... however the bottom 6 certainly lacked ooomph!

Connor has some great vision. Beauty saucer pass to Wheeler for his 200th career goal.

Anyone know why there's 6 days between games?

Bye-week? Is that a thing?

They were talking about the long stretch without games on last game's pre-game show. Apparently a number of teams have had this. It was pointed out that due to the World Cup last season, the schedule had to be more condensed. This year without it, games are more spread out. Still seems odd though. With the game against Pittsburgh on Thursday, the Jets play 6 games in 10 days. With the 6 days off prior to that, you would think they could have spread the games out a bit more. Oh well. Maybe it will be good for them to get into a groove again with so many games in a short span.

Bye-week? Is that a thing?

It is. The NHL implemented a bye week starting last season. However, this is not the Jets bye week. Their bye week is Jan. 14-19. (https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-bye-weeks-for-2017-18-season/c-290159620)

In this instance, it's just weird scheduling from the looks of it.

Anyway, nice win on Friday. That dreaded two-goal lead happened and then the Wild with three straight goals. Great to see the Jets continue to battle and get the equalizer. Laine had a solid game.

Really hoping Helly and Ehlers have their breakout year this time around.

4-0. Tough not to go with the kid.

2.32 GAA and a .928 SV%, not to mention a perfect starting record. Take away his relief duty stats (Oct. 4 vs. TOR) and those numbers sit at 2.00 GAA and a .937 SV%.

He's off to an incredible start.

Helly stopped 34 of 36 shots for a .944 save percentage tonight, and allowed 2 goals in 61:07 minutes for a 1.97 GAA.

Unacceptable! Run this guy out of town!

lol. Hey, even though we lost, I really can't ask much more of the team and especially Helle. Came out with a point on the road against the defending champs. No shame.

Gotta admit that Kessel's goal was beautiful.
