Wow; just a dominant performance from the Jets tonight shutting down Tampa Bay 4-1. Walker Duher making a strong case that he should stay in the lineup; he was noticeable on pretty much every shift he was on the ice. Honestly, this might be the most impressive game the Jets have put out on the ice this year. Smothering coverage, smart sticks, putting in the effort to win the 1-on-1 battles, forcing turnovers...it's been a long time since we've seen the style of game that served this team so well last year.
