Are the Jets for real or are they going to crash and burn?

[onmygameboi]

Let's be real, all the Canadian teams are going to crash and burn this year.

Toronto is for real. I think it's their year, finally.

I'm thinking ECF.

Where they go from there will be solely on Matthew's shoulders.

Because every Jet related thread has to be about the Laffs…….

I'm a Devils fan. But, please proceed to project.

Oilers will be back in the final imo. Jets might be good to pass 1st round. They get Calgary right now.

IDK. Leafs are built differently right now and are playing some solid hockey under Berube. They have the talent and pieces to do it.. That's why everyone gives them so much grief.

Yes, just like the 50 years prior to this one.

Where’s that “realist” who predicted that Scheifele would play even worse after not making team Canada? Second most goals in the league since that post.

My prediction - Jets to NHL: "You stink"

 

[PaulD]

I’ll preface by saying that I actually like the Jets and I hope they will succeed.


But holy crap is this not the same song and dance we’ve seen the past two seasons? IIRC in 22-23 they were first in the west until January, looked absolutely dominant and they ended up in the 2nd WC spot, clinching a spot in the last game or two of the regular season.

Then last year they were setting all kinds of defensive records, allowing 2 or less goals in god knows how many games in a row. Only for them to get their asses blasted (pardon my French) by the Colorado Avalanche in 5 (where they let in 5 or more goals each game, an NHL record).

Is that why no one is talking about their ridiculous 12-1 start to the season? How is the Jets fanbase feeling about them this year? What about fans of other central division teams? I thought Scott Arniel was an underwhelming hire, but they’re doing well.

Is something different about them this year? Or will it be the same song and dance come crunch time?

"holy crap it's not the same we saw the last two seasons"

No I dont think the Jets are at like the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2018 - 2024.
They are for real.

Did you mark this on your calendar?

He's since changed his tune on the Jets board. This was after predicting they'd go 0-3 on the Montreal/Boston/Washington road trip.

They don’t completely depend on Helle to win games anymore. That being said if he performs like he did in last years playoffs, we will get smoked and labeled pretenders. If he performs close to his regular season, this or last year, in the playoffs we should be one of the favourites. The PP is such a ridiculous weapon this year, and as long as the chances don’t significantly drop in the playoffs, they should keep scoring.

But they will. The refs always put the whistles away in the playoffs.

Their goaltending is good enough to steal a series. They could be a tough out for a lot of teams.
