We are the Jets. They are not. They are the Coyotes. Run Spot Run.
Lineup and predictions after the jump...
Pre-lineup Thoughts: Please please please stop pinching at the blue line, Jets D. You are not nearly nimble nor deft enough with the puck to hold the line; let's try to keep the number of the bad kind of 2-on-1s below a baker's dozen. Also, someone needs to affix nipple clamps and jolt this top line. They're close to scoring, they just need to shake the Craig Ramsay off their backs. This game, and this opponent, is the prime time to do it.
Jets
Forwards
#16 Andrew Ladd -- #18 Bryan Little -- #26 Blake Wheeler
#9 Evander Kane -- #8 Alexander Burmistrov -- #80 Nik Antropov
#14 Tim Stapleton -- #55 Mark Scheifele -- #13 Kyle Wellwood
#15 Tanner Glass -- #19 Jim Slater -- #22 Chris Thorburn
Defencemen
#6 Ron Hainsey -- #39 Tobias Enstrom
#12 Randy Jones -- #33 Dustin Byfuglien
#5 Mark Stuart -- #4 Zach Bogosian
Goaltender
#50 Chris Mason
The "Coyotes" Pronunciation Makes No Sense
Forwards
#13 Ray Whitney -- #22 Daymond Langkow -- #19 Shane Doan
#89 Mikkel Boedker -- #11 Martin Hanzal -- #17 Radim Vrbata
#14 Taylor Pyatt -- #15 Boyd Gordon -- #28 Lauri Korpikoski
#12 Paul Bissonnette -- #29 Petteri Nokelainen -- #37 Raffi Torres
Defencemen
#3 Keith Yandle -- #53 Derek Morris
#23 Oliver Ekman-Larsson -- #33 Adrian Aucoin
#16 Rostislav Klesla -- #6 David Schlemko
Goaltender
#41 Mike Smith
New Player Nickname: Jim "A.C." Slater. Too easy.
What You Should Do if You're Going to the Game: Get a picture with Claude Noel. Don't smile, and request that he doesn't smile, either (last part should be pretty easy). First Fan Shot wins something.
Prediction: 2 to 1 Jets, as Jets get their first win on a deflection off Shane Doan's Winnipeg hatin' knee. Doan crumples to the ice, at which point Buff gets down on all fours and licks up his salty salty tears. Victory is sweet, ShilDo.

Jets take this one.
Will the number of Jets jerseys outnumber Coyotes jerseys in the crowd? Probably not, since its their home opener, but it’ll be close…

Yeah, they usually fill out the opener, then have issues for the remainder of the year.

I no longer hate Phoenix. Well, I hate them tonight because they are the opponent, but I do like the team.
They're for sale, you know
Seriously, though, any particular reason?

How can YOU not hate Phoenix?
While I hate them less without Bryzgalov, those players still infuriate me. And while I hate the Coyotes, I hate the City of Glendale even more. Never again will I have to watch Elaine Scruggs and Phil Lieberman yap on and on about how hockey is crucial to their economy.

btw, I hope Brett MacLean shows up his old team. Why they liked Turris so much and not him is beyond me
