All hell breaks loose

I'd like to see Maurice get a Cup enough that I could stomach Tkachuk getting one.

I’m liking Tkatchuk more since he went to Florida. It’s nice to see a player elevate their game in the playoffs. Thats a strange concepts for a Jets fan. If we had more players like him we’d be a lot better off.

They wanted him in 2016 apparently but wouldn't take him at #2. In hindsight they should have.

Oilers winning the cup just to see Leafs fans heads explode.

Most likely he would still be in Florida now.

 

[Orrrules]

Clean hit just late by Kuly.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Clean hit just late by Kuly.

Therefore not clean

 

[Orrrules]

Panthers are physical. I thought the Oilers were more physical than Dallas last night too.

Therefore not clean

I knew some smarty pants would say that. Clean body check just late.

Most of hell is already in NY.

I’m sorry I just don’t understand this Rempe phenomena, the guy can barely play hockey

Wonder if he plays defence? Maybe jets could sign him

You don't see goalie Bob whiff on too many, nice shot by Goodrow though

 

[Thechozen1]

I'd actually take a flyer on Kotkaniemi. He's 4.82M long term and scores at about 0.4 PPG pace

He's young, has size, skates decently, and plays centre. I think there is untapped potential there still

No trade protection, either. People will lose their minds for me suggesting this, but I'd do one year of Ehlers straight up for him if we can't find a trade partner that will help us address the RHD hole

This of course assumes that ehlers wants out and there's no extension in place

Seems like an overpriced version of Namestnikov. Not terrible, but nothing special either.

 

[Thechozen1]

Oilers winning the Cup would be great. They deserve it as much as the next team. Kane with the winning goal would be something.

WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME EVER

I don't know about whiff ... top corner blocker side. I noticed a lot of goals are being scored like that top corners because the goalies are taught now they can protect more of the net by going down especially the tall goalies.

I understand the concept of wanting players who elevate in the playoffs, even if I think you're underestimating how much our "Jurassic Park coaching + literal zero analytics department" strategies hurt us. Even at that, I'd insist it not be a human cockroach like Tkachuk.

He's very tall..

The Jets played like they didn’t want to be in the playoffs, most of the team content to end the season as soon as possible!

That is true. The fans seem like the only ones that really care about winning.

Just to be clear, you think that a couple of line up shake ups and line combos made the difference in that series with the Avs?

Jets employ 4 people in their analytics department, which is about average for the league

It’s still Maurice at the helm.

If they really employ 4 people in their analytics department, then what do those people actually do for a living? But you're correct to call out "literal zero", since they could very well hire people just to say "look, we have an analytics department; our coach just ignores every single piece of advice they send".

Bowness was clearly not just the oldest coach in the league but the least modern of the bunch. That game five line usage paints a picture all on its own.

And yes, I'm aware that a coach has many more decisions to make than pulling the goalie. But if they resort to an important universal tactic like it was closer to the first day it was used than the present day, I consider that a really good barometer -- or I guess a chronometer, more accurately -- as to how old-school a coach is.

Overpaid Canadian Frauds can't beat the Swiss with their handful of NHL'ers!

F'n embarrassing!

 

[WolfHouse]

Oh look Nino was the Swiss' 1RW and had a huge impact... they were lucky they didn't have the 'talent' to push him down to the shutdown line.

 

[sipowicz]

Oh look, Kane with no brain is playing!

Wait

They’re getting paid?
