Series Discussion: NDSF: Winnipeg Jets (3) vs Edmonton Oilers (2)

[GeorgeJETson]

You first?

 

[EpochLink]

Have at it, you have the choir before you.



Nice.

Aight here’s my 411:

Born November 1985 at the Woman’s Hospital at the HSC. I grew up a Jets fan version one from my dad, who was a big fan since the WHA days. My first Jets game was during the 91/92 season against the Calgary Flames, we lost that game by I remember kicking the seat behind some guy who told me to f*** off lol. Good ol Winnipeg Arena, my dads work had season tickets and he had seats literally 5 seats near ice level.

When the Jets left, I switched to a Canucks fan cause of reasons that some fam moved to Vancouver during the 90’s. Fast forward to 2006, I left Winnipeg for good to Calgary then bounced that place to Vancouver.

Sisler Spartans represent, if you know you know.

I bet if we go up 3 to 1 in the series.

There will be some nervous fans around here.


Specially the older ones

Same here. 12-year-old me was at Portage & Main when Bobby Hull signed his contract. You could actually see me in the picture Time magazine published of the event.

In 1974, the first time Ben Hatskin threatened to move the team, I saved up $25 from my paper route money and bought a non-voting, non-participating "share" in the team. I still have it somewhere, and Peter Warren interviewed me live for his radio show from the lobby of the Marlborough Hotel, where they were selling the shares.

I bow to no one regarding my history with this team.

I remember the "Save The Jets" campaign. People don't realize how close the Jets came to being a forgotten footnote to history, like the Winnipeg Whips.

We will be the most nervous 3-1 leaders in NHL history, I suspect.

If it went to game 7 would we start Helly or Bro?

 

[Jet]

Wait, wait, wait - why the hell are we having back-to-back playoff games? Sunday and then Monday?

That's horrible.

I think it might help a bit. They'll have to limit McDavid minutes or tire him out. Our depth should help here

 

[Jet]

Yeah that's a good call. Though I thought Frobort/Pionk handled them pretty well.

Yeah Forbort made some nice plays against him last game

 

[Three On Zero]

Any news on Ehlers?

Please don’t bring up 1990, we had our chance and blew that to kingdom come. Jari Kurri in Game 6…

I hope that teams bad luck followed it to Arizona

jets 2.0 will hopefully create new storylines and not rehash old ones

90s not old ...

I was talking about the 80s

The good thing is if the series becomes 3-1, with Manitoba's current lockdown, no one will be at the Arena to throw a box of popcorn on the ice...

I was talking about the 80s

We won grand total of 1 game in the playoffs in the 1980’s against the Oilers

 

[PaulPooley]

Any news on Ehlers?

He’s playin

 

[gojetsgo]

another 61 people wrong!

 

[wpgallday1960]

another 61 people wrong!

You mean I’m not alone?

 

[snowkiddin]

Remember 2015 against the Ducks? Game 3 we lost in OT after blowing a third period lead. Team was deflated and a complete no show in Game 4. Here’s hoping the same happens with Edmonton tomorrow.

 

[jetsforever]

Archibald must be feeling pretty bad now as his penalty both let us back into the game and now he gets a DoPS hearing for it.

 

[SimpleSimon]

Any news on Ehlers?

I bet you like the answer to that question.

It followed the team to Arizona. I knew they blew a 3-1 series lead vs the St.Louis Blues in 1998-99. I believe they were also up 3-2 in their first season in Phoenix, only yo lose 4-3.

We lost 2015 cause Pavs was 0.891 SV for those 4 games.
Smith is better than that but not as good as Helly

 

[MarkWheeler]

He’s playin

And how!

That's not the main reason we lost but yeah Pavs was terrible

 

[WolfHouse]

Haha this is a fun thread now
