Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

[Jet]

Maybe not a popular opinion, but I think the Jets are closer to 10 than 1. PDO's running a little hot. Special teams are crap. Let's pump the brakes a bit. Very good team, sure. #1? Whoa, Nelly...

Yeah I'd say we're top 5 but until we can get out special teams respectable we're not the best. That is definitely going to start buying us in the ass. I'm surprised it hasn't already.

One thing that's helping our pk is we're in the top 3rd of the league in fewest minors. That's a product of good structure and being above the puck all the time.

 

[kanadalainen]

had me more confused than a cross-eyed coelacanth.

Now yer talkin'.

 

[jiho]

Which jet gets picked as the all star? Helle?

I think this year The All Star Game should be the Winnipeg Jets vs an NHL All Star team to see if an all star team could score more than 3 goals against the Jets.

 

[bustamente]

Until we can beat the Stars and F*** Vegas we can't be considered #1. The Jets are on a pretty good heater atm lets see if they can continue their winning ways on this road trip. We are definitely an upper tier team but there is still a lot of the season left.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Crazy that we have a media personality on national TV actually trying to justify hitting someone in the head with their stick.

We all know if hartman did this same thing to Nylander that SN would crucify him

The Zucker hit makes sense for this ridiculous hot take -never heard of anyone.connected with the NHL advocating for headhunters stars

trigger warning: stupidity....

Thank you for the trigger warning @gojetsgo .

I definitely feel stupider for watching that.

No mention of Hartman injuring Ehlers last season before the playoffs.

It's easier to avoid taking penalties when you have the puck more often.

Plus we traded away PLD, who was taking 1:03 PIM/GP. And Wheeler was the 5th most penalized on the team last year. Replacing them with Iafalo (0:03 PIM/GP!) and Villardi (0:20 PIM/GP) doesn't hurt...

I mean maybe Dillon was trying to injured KK but he also crosschecks guys exactly the same way game in game out... at this point I'm actually hoping it was intentional though

 

[CorgisPer60]

Watch Kaprizov closely when he plays, he gets exactly what he deserves.
He’s a rat pure and simple.
Live by the sword…

He actually had to get strong elevation to elbow Logan Stanley's chin that one time. Impressive. I like how Michael Russo is doing the Outrage Olympics on Twitter. Bitch, you're a sports journalist, quit playing parley for the team.

 

[ps241]

How did Jamal Meyers make the NHL without understanding the code?

Also that was a good one about "What if these two teams meet in the playoffs?" What year did he mean?

Best I can guess Mayers might not have been aware of the two fights after the cross check with Dillon accepting a fight to answer the bell.

Remember a few years back when Malkin delivered a head shot to Wheeler and Blake needed to miss a few games with a concussion (If memory serves me correctly). Next time the teams met Blake challenged Malkin, Gino answered the bell, they had a fight and it was done.

That is how the NHL works and Mayers would be aware of that.

 

[SLAYER]

Best I can guess Mayer might not have been aware of the two fights after the cross check with Dillon accepting a fight to answer the bell.

His job is to be informed about what he is commenting on, which he is obviously not. I realize that media always platforms a "both sides" debate for audiences; however, his take is absolutely awful and he deserves to be launched into the sun for subjecting me to that nonsense.

This exactly.
Jamal and guys like him are the heir apparents to Parros, scary thought.
So now the Jets will likely dress Viel for the rematch or at the very least retaliate.
The Jets answered the bell already and Hartman has escalated this into a future outta control situation.
The league and the NHLPA ARE BOTH DELUSIONAL

Pretty sure he also holds a bunch of big titles with the Professional Hockey Writer's Association. The org that votes on major awards that have financial implications for players and they're expected to be impartial. I wonder if he and Jamal Mayers shop for clown shoes at the same place?

Wonder if their clown cars get the same mileage?

I'm sure they carpool, clown cars seem pretty roomy.

It was an awkward exchange. Once Mayers got passionately called out by Botterill he seemed to take it in a weird direction trying to justify the cheap shot. It was no longer about retribution for Kaprizov it was about Hartman having Fetts in his hip pocket in the playoffs and how the playoffs are nasty. This had absolutely zero to do with an imaginary unlikely playoff battle that might happen 4 or 5 months from now FFS

Botterill the only one talking any sense. The two guys should just ditch their suits for Clown outfits.

Russo less than a year ago:



Russo now:



Whoopsie. I don't use Twitter because it's a cesspool of misinformation, propaganda and hate, but if someone else wants to respond with a friendly "dis u?", feel free.

 

[gojetsgo]

russo is a clown... why does the athletic pay a fan to write for them

It's the special teams for me. If the special teams improve, I am ready to call them a top-3 team in the league. Special teams are the only thing holding me back at this point.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Has anyone seen the Larry David jets/toronto/tsnSN vids - I don't know how to post them here but they're awesome

 

[Romang67]

To be entirely fair though, going after unaware opponents in blatant attempts to injure is something the league should crack down on. Some guys are menaces out there.

 

[Romang67]

I can only assume that the knucklehead on the panel is advocating for a Nashville player to target the Wild's highest skill player with a slash to the face in their January 25th game.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

So I played hockey where you had to answer for any kind of shit you did. I don't think I have ever seen anyone say I am going to stick you in the face for something that happened in the game. Why the hell he wouldn't say I am going to drop my gloves and beat on you is beyond me, likely its because he doesn't have the balls to do so.

Being a guy who used to fight a lot I would be f***ing mad at a guy like Hartman knowing I would be out there answering for his bullshit.

I am sorry Kaprisov got hurt. You don't want to see stars get hurt but I have been saying for awhile now having a guy like Hartman not answer for his bullshit means players are not going to go easy on anyone else on your team.
