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

You don’t win cups playing 1 way hockey, unless you’re elite at it. And even then it’s still hard.


Scheifele is lazy on D. Instead of being offended over the truth, you can embrace it.


I watch them. That’s why I said Scheifele sucks at D

When the Jets came closest to the Cup Scheifele was a 14 goal scorer.

I think the moving part in there is Vilardi. If he plays like he did last playoff, you could see Arniel moving Iafallo up the lineup to protect Scheif a bit more defensively, and you concentrate on being a 3 headed monster with Scheif, Connor and Morrissey all being extremely dangerous offensively

If the Jets put Lowry and Ehlers together like they did to beat Colorado this year with Ehlers burning Makar to get on the board 1st shift, they could balance out 3 scoring lines with some strong defensive play on each line.

Soooooo... I get that we're only ~50 games into the season but I need to know: are they for real or not?

When not even an extended jinx thread can slow you down, yes, you are for real!

IDK. Too early to tell. Should have a little more data by Game 81.

This season's edition of the Jets may not win the Cup, and they may not go deep -- but thus far, it's fair to say they ain't The Frauds of seasons of yore.

If nothing else, this has been their best regular season team since they came back. Hopefully we get to see at least 2 rounds of playoffs this season.

“What do you expect Coach? It was a high danger chance!”

Come on man. I can’t believe you’re seriously making that point. “He wasn’t bad he just let in a lot of goals”. He’s supposed to be one of the best goalies in the league. He’s gotta be excellent in the playoffs too no matter what.

I said he was outplayed by the Av's goalie. He did not crumble because but for Helly things would have been worse. I do recall thinking he could use a game off after game 3 but he never got it and we will never know what would have happened had he sat one game to recoup from all the rubber he faced.

Well they aren't winning the unicorn division, so I guess they're real.
