Around the NHL 2024/25

Minny about to enter the wild card battle?

I've been expecting Colorado to pass Minnesota for the last month now, and the Avs haven't been winning enough. Maybe they don't want Dallas in the 1st round.

[Jets 31]

I want to win the Cup first and foremost but if anyone thinks leading the entire NHL after 82 games and 6 months of hockey isn't a incredible accomplishment you aren't looking at it fairly. I always sorta looked at it as no big deal before because i never thought a team from Winnipeg would ever do this.

Winning the Presidents Cup would be the greatest single achievement that any incarnation of the Jets NHL run has ever done. I said in the past I probably will never see the Jets win the Cup in whatever time I have left just too many factors that go against us and I'm okay with that. Just having a competitive professional team to get me through the winter is good enough for me. Plus I'd probably drop dead if they ever did manage to win the SC

I went back to the lockout and there were no president's trophy winners that won the cup. Are you happy now or would you like me to go further back?
So that has knocked it down to 5%. If you make the playoffs you have a six and a quarter percent chance of winning the cup.

There have been 8 Stanley Cup and President’s Cup winners in the same season in the 38 seasons since the President’s cup was introduced in 1986. So it isn’t a curse or a benefit. About a 1 in 5 historically, and considering there are usually about a 1/2 dozen serious contenders it is what should be expected.
