He's guilty
It's the exact same thing you will find in every team's forum. Every team reacts much the same. This team is on a 5 game losing streak, you expect some criticism and doom and gloom.
Meh. I don't got much to say right now. Whatever. I got 2 more games this year live, I plan on being rather intoxicated during them to numb the pain...
We'd have to go 6-2-1 for a good chance to make it. If you think that's legitimate for a team that just lost five in a row, then all the power to you.

I said in the playoff hunt, not the cup. This is not a cup contending team, but getting their feet wet with some playoff experience isn't out of the question.

I'm older than most of you guys here - I've learned to temper my enthusiasm and my anger. I get emotional watching the game, probably just as emotional as I was when I played for serious, but after the game is over, I know that the win streaks are always evened out by the losing streaks, and I know that it's not always as bad as the negative nellies posit, and it's not always unicorns and rainbows when they win.
With that being said, this team needs a slap upside the head when they mail it in, but I honestly saw more effort tonight than in the previous four games, and some signs , that some of the jets are getting pissed off about losing. Maybe they turn it around and make the playoffs, maybe they don't, but it's not all on the coaching, and it's not all on the players. Does Noel deserve to lose his job already? What happens when the replacement coach suffers through a 5 or 6 game losing streak? Do we fire him too?
Let's see what happens by the end of the season. I know the answer isn't in panicking and trading ten players and getting little in return, or firing the coach with ten games left in the season. The Jets aren't deep enough to replace the free-loaders en masse.

Yeah really.
We are a .500 in the worst division
I have always said the jets are a bubble team.

as per my other post, getting loaded for 4 of those games and i'm not going to hold back of my opinions for Noel and Joker after a 10 beer minimum to pregame.

Washington has a harder schedule left. They face the top 8 teams more than the Jets do with the remaining games left. They face Montreal and Ottawa twice, Toronto, Boston and Tampa Bay is still dangerous. I'm not giving up on this team yet.

I agree that the Jets are a bubble team too, but it's because of WHERE the team was a few weeks back that makes this hard to take and is depressing. We had a six point lead in the SE and now it's completely gone. I would think it's normal for people to be upset.
Exactly. Even if we played 'okay', we would have easily taken the division. No **** we're gonna be pissed off. Sure we can say how we weren't expected to make the playoffs... but that's just irrelevant to even bring up. Should we not even watch the season because we were predicted to miss the playoffs? And be happy if we even come close?
It's crunch time. Good and talented teams that were underachieving dig deep and find a way to rise to the task and less talented teams who were overachieving give in to the pressure and more talented teams.
Obvious tonight that the Jets fall into the latter category and this is not a jab at the Jets, it's just a fact. The problem we have isn't so much lack of effort, it's simply lack of talent and specifically lack of individual puck control and playmaking ability. Not a coincidence that we are in the bottom of the pack when it comes to PP performance. This is obviously where Chevy needs to focus on during this off season and at the draft. Hopefully Sceifele will help in that area as well.
If we fix this area, I think we do have the supporting cast that can do their part in the equation.

I would be pissed off if I cared more about it. The team has beaten any angry fan passion out of me that I had. Now I just find the constant caterwauling annoying to my eyes and ears. Reciprocal anger does nothing in the long run, and the boys will have to stand up and take back the reins of their destiny.

i think this is why i have trouble understanding the manics on here- i have never been crazy competitive person.
I get upset on my rec league team when we lose, but i've battled and worked for it in that game. All i did tonight was sit on my couch, have couple scotches and eat potato chips, how can i be mad at that? It will never make sense to me i don't think
