Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 04/11/2011 (5450 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Big picture
It wasn’t the classic formula to winning a game — goalie plays brilliant and ravaged defensive corp soldiers on while management works over the rosary beads and lucky charms — but it worked. And, in the process, the Jets have won consecutive games for the first time this season and are now 3-1 on a road trip that looked so daunting upon their departure a week ago. It can be a long climb back to .500 when a team digs itself a hole, but the Jets — now 5-6-1 — are clawing closer.
Little picture
There are still some defensive flaws here and the goals seem hard to come by, but this is one of those gritty wins that can build a team’s collective resolve. Winnipeg may have lost another D-man in Randy Jones, who limped off after blocking a shot, but reserves Mark Flood and Brett Festerling were solid and the team picked up a critical ‘W’ in enemy territory.
Game-breaker
The Jets are clinging to a 1-0 lead with less than five minutes — clinging in the sense that one goal against may have been like a giant pin popping a balloon if they had surrendered a score — when Johnny Oduya’s shot toward the Islanders’ goal deflected off Andrew MacDonald’s stick past Rick DiPietro. And with that the Jets had a 2-0 cushion and the Isles looked deflated and beaten until the horn sounded.
