Are the Jets for real?

Any team that is 17-3 after 20 games is lucky. Doesn't mean they're not good or even great, but no team gets to 17-3 without some luck. Top 5 team for me though.

Do I consider them top 5? Standings and watching, their underlying stats aren't incredible but they've had a lot of teams playing from behind against them and score effects happen.

As a Jet fan this is a fair take. The Jets have blown it the last two PO's series they played.
Are the Jets the Leafs 2.0?
Maybe.
Until they make it to the SC final and win they like Toronto are pretenders not contenders.
They have, but if they go less than 17-3 in the next 20 games would you say they're underperforming? You need luck to go 17-3. You also need to be really good to be lucky enough to go 17-3.

Perhaps. It depends on how it looks. The thread was asking about what they have done and I’ve provided a perspective. To comment on what might happen in the next 20 and whether it’s this or that? That’s a game of folly.
Fair enough, they've looked great and I'm incredibly excited to be a Jets fan right now. Like I said, you definitely have to be good to get to a record like 17-3, but if they played exactly as well for the next 20 games I wouldn't expect them to repeat that record.

I was watching hockey when Bobby Hull played in the WHA (actually when he played in Chicago). I’ve always had a big soft spot for the Jets. My avatar is probably a giveaway. I hope sometime soon they go deep in the playoffs and maybe even….well you know.
When you say Jets , do you mean Senators?
They are PDOing hard. Of course, Hellebuyck is a part of the team, but they're probably getting somewhat lucky. PDO 1.056.
I remember halfway through last season when Canucks had 1.05 PDO in January, their fans wouldn't believe they were due to regress. Canucks finished the season with 1.025 PDO(which was the top PDO in the entire league).
