PP is 2 for 44 (4.5%) since the New Year’s Day.

Crazy that they’re 5 games above NHL .500 over that same span.

Funny that two years ago we had meltdowns over never making big moves and now it was a bad idea to make big moves two years in a row. Just can't win. We lost nothing that hurts getting Guentzel and I'd heavily argue the same with Rantanen seeing as Necas was back to pacing for like 55 points after his streak he would have never had again for us. Also, we're going to have a f*** ton of cap space if he doesn't stay and still a good core locked in.

And it's pretty absurd to think we have no chance to win the cup. We just had an amazing month and now we're fighting illness and integrating new guys.

I think the team will be fine when things get more sorted out and there is likely more hole filling to come (giggity). Rants will break out soon because he's great and getting great chances.

Other then Rantanen and Marner the free agent crop is weak so to say even if he leaves we have a ton of cap space doesn’t mean much when you won’t be able to sign a guy like him to replace him.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and trust the process until I actually have a reason not to. I was one of the folks doing that before the season rather than crying the sky is falling and that's working out just fine.

If a guy like him isn’t enough to make you a cup contender, maybe two guys who make half as much do.

Well I think they are close with a tweak on D. Goaltending though is still an issue. Pyotr on last two could have been better.

And once again, putting any blame on a goalie when zero goals are scored is ridiculous.

As a Jets fan I would NEVER make that Rant trade, Jets play the Avs alot and that guy is a non factor.

I would trade for Nečas FFS hes 26 and only getting better.

How often have you watched Necas?

Didn’t the Jets just lose in 5 games to the Avs with Rantanen having 3 points in the deciding game?

I know you always take counter points but…/

Once again, saving two of 3 makes it a one score game and within reach. Canes may have gamed one to tie

Pyotr is still leaky, was tonight and comrie who is not a top tier goalie was not. Game over.

But as I noted, better D too and it’s probably a tie game going into the 3rd

Or they could, you know, SCORE A f***ING GOAL!

Aho needs to be better and he can’t be afraid to shoot either

See, here’s my point of view:

PK allowed two PP goals to the league’s best PP, one of which saw one player dance through all 4 penalty killers and the other that saw an 80 mph screened slap shot from the top of the slot. Can’t blame him for either one. Just gotta hope the team scores to help him out. And they failed to do that for 55 f***ing minutes.

Was the 3rd goal leaky? Maybe. It was a pass that PK blocked with his stick, that bounced high off Kupari’s body, right back down into the crease. Svech certainly could have been better at tying him up to help his goalie out and not give him 2-3 whacks to finally put the puck in.

But the fact remains: The team didn’t score, so unless you were expecting PK to ALSO pitch a shutout, he’s blameless as far as I’m concerned.

For me that’s been one of the main lingering issues with the team; lack of confidence. Other teams can smell blood in the water and pressure us, especially in the playoffs.

I agree.
BUT I JUST DON’T HAVE MY HEART IN IT.

NEČAS STARTS CARRYING… AND THEN WE ARE CZECHLESS.
