Daytime Dominator - Rickenbach NHL Rotation #25 Monday 8* Winnipeg Jets Money Line (+) vs Calgary Flames @ 2:30 ET - It doesn't even matter if the play had ill intent or not. All that matter is the Jets feel it did and that has them fired up beyond belief for game two of this series. Very early in game 1 the Flames Tkachuk rode the Jets Scheifele into the boards and seemed to lift one of his skates up and into Scheifele as they came into the boards. It was not a hard hit by any means and was a normal hockey play other than the raising of the skate. Scheifele got hurt, Winnipeg is fired up and then they lost start Patrik Laine to injury late in the 3rd period. Even if neither guy plays today (Scheifele in particular is doubtful), the old saying about the "wounded dog bites the hardest" is what holds true here. I don't see the Jets being denied no matter whom is on the ice for them after what happened in game 1's 4-1 loss. This is a "rally the troops" kind of game for Winnipeg and the Jets will bring their A game and have a tremendous passion burning for this game that will carry them for the full 60 minutes. This is going to be a very entertaining game and I look for the Jets to be aggressive, physical, and to refuse to be denied here. Because of the injury situation they are a sizable dog here and I'll take advantage of the added underdog line value as a result. 8* WINNIPEG
