I'm happy to keep flying below the radar for as long as possible.

I suspect that Helle is the common denominator. Not to take anything away from Flaherty. He must be doing his job. But it seems to me that both BSD and Bro started looking like Helle in net. I think he rubs off on them.

Is this team better than the 2017-18 Jets?
We finished with 114 points that year
Projection are 108 points for this years team based on performance so far
There’s still half a season left.

So great to outshoot, outplay, out defend, out class and out score our opponents.
Great mental toughness to overcome the called back goals and soldier on.
Full marks for everyone.
When 91-55-26 can look like that and we know what Dubois's line is capable of you can start to get very excited.
Bonus question:
Who recognizes the image (what movie) from the GDT end credits.

It's very close...I'm going to say yes in terms of coaching, and structure.
Talent wise obviously not, but that team was freestyling we didn't have structure at all. It was pretty much we can out score you, and out skill you, because we got helle in the back.
Now we hold everyone accountable. Doesn't matter if you're Wheeler or Stenlund, or Connor you will be scolded if you're not doing work. That's the biggest difference from this coaching team that I love.
Back then Wheeler, Chef, Trouba, Buff, I like to call them the BOYZ. They would get 20+ mins every game even if they made a mistake especially the forwards. You look now, and we finally have a competent 4th line that can get 10 mins in if needed. Fyallby is a Gem.
We do have a lot of trouble against Minnesota, and the Northern US teams like Detroit. I think this has a lot to do with a lot of the Jets being from the Northern US, and their focus gets distracted, seeing family and friends, instead of focusing on the game their going to play. I remember back awhile we had trouble as well with the Wild, during regular season, but took care of them quite easy in the playoffs.
When the Jets travel to Minnesota or Michigan they are so busy seeing their friends and family and getting them tickets to the game, it totally blows away their concentration. That's my take on it, especially for the Wild, who we should beat.
I'd say at least 3.5 to 4 inches taller, so I guess that makes Perfetti about 5'7 inches tall, which is quite short.You'ld never know from that picture that Ehlers is just 1" taller.

I'd need to look it up, but IIRC when Stats was fully integrated, that team was just a monster to end the season.
I did remember right, geez.
Holy shit what a heater in the final 11 games:
15-5 to end the season, including this 10-1 run.
Decided to watch the highlights of that four-game OT/Shootout win run:
Kings:
Laine leaves the Kings game with a foot injury after blocking a shot - completely forgot about that, lol
Holy shit that Kopitar Pepto-Bismo meme was in this run, LMFAO.
3rd Period shots were 14-2 Jets in a 1-1 tie.
This win set a franchise record for wins
Ducks:
woah a Ehlers-Scheif-Wheeler sighting.
(Laine is back, BTW)
This should have been like 5-1.
"And remarkably, anaheim is gonna get points outta this game" - Ducks broadcast
Predators:
Man, I remember the hype around this game.
Jets went down 2-0 on a buzzer beater, then went down 3-1
God I miss Buff so much
KFC is the best player on the Jets in this run. Insane he started on the Moose this season.
This game - and SO win clinched the playoffs
Bruins:
Oh god, the digital ads on the glass behind the nets on American broadcasts were the start of the slippery slope towards the stupid ads this year.
LMFAO the Bruins commentator confusing how french to pronounce Chairot's and Perreault's names. As someone living in Eastman - I feel ya buddy.
This game is 3-1 entering the third period.
Some incredible shots in this game, and my main man Joe Morrow probably had the best one.
Holy shit, Maurice had a terrible challenge, and that's what cost the Jets the lead.
Man, Tanev had a knack for scoring the weakest goals I've ever seen, lol - a hat trick in this game
OMG in the final moments of both BOS and NSH OT's the Jets gave up a clean breakaway and the player just missed
Watching these highlights, it's insane how familiar the forwards feel (Even Stats feels very PLD-esque), while there are basically no remaining defenders.

Great 6-1/5-1/4-1 victory.
Edit: It's unbelievable how much different we look compared to last season. it is as if we have replaced the whole team, which isn't the case at all. the team has looked poised, calm and organized all season long.
What a joy this season has been so far and I'm sure there's plenty more to come!

A pint of dark matter, please.
This image is a dead ringer for The Return of Godzilla. (Clearly Godzilla on the far left, and I know the cop didn't listen to him).. Maybe its Son of Godzilla? (It could be the Showa era).So great to outshoot, outplay, out defend, out class and out score our opponents.

Last paragraph 100 percent my belief also.
Detroit game Helle was there physically lol
We got 4/6 points and won in Pittsburg!!
Missed last night was out having drinks with Mrs.Eye and Mr. & Mrs @John Agar
Hopefully we do “many things” to the Yotes
@kanadalainen please fill in the many things for us

Oh man, can atleast have some salt on that crow Im gonna eat for hating the Bowness hiring. I think this was even better than Trotz, beacuse I dont think our offense from our D would be this good. Provorov should demand a trade to the Jets so he could get his game going like Norrisey...

I didn’t hate it, but I was thinking unless this guy is a miracle worker we’re doomed again.
Well he’s turned this team around on and off the ice
A+++++
He’s made me believe as well.
I'm a positive Dude when it comes to the Jets but i really thought we would be good this season with a new coach, maybe not THIS good but good. Maurice was here too long and unless you are winning Cups eventually you need a new coach and voice, players and the coach get stale after a while especially when you aren't winning. I wanted Trotz but this is starting to look like the Andrew Ladd situation where we tried to sign him and let Buff go, thankfully Ladd wanted way too much money and we signed Buff instead. Anyway very happy with Bowness and i hope he wins Coach of the year because the difference between this team and the last 2 years is amazing.
They're missing significant players and are sick. Not all teams can handle that like the Jets
Man it’s nice getting up the morning after such a good Jets game. Now keep the foot on the gas Sunday.
At this rate I calculate we'll be Maurice free by 2135
I'm not sure about that. Brossoit didn't have this, neither did Comrie.
I'm not honestly sure that Rittich has been any better than what he's been. I just think expectations of a backup are too high.
I think rittich has been fine and just what you'd hope a backup will be. He was steady last night but the Pens really didn't test him that much.
I'm happy with him, and he's outperforming the guy that people whined about us letting walk this offseason for a lot less money
Also, you have to wonder why some teams (cough cough Oilers) seem to discard goalies who aren't getting it done and they go on to play really well elsewhere (bro, talbot, dubnyk).
Sure, some of that is the way the team plays in front of them, but I do believe a goalie coach does the mental things to allow the goalie to play at their best. It's also not a one size fits all scenario. Some guys aren't focused enough, some are too hard on themselves, etc.
Perfetti looks like a kid on bring your kid to work day. I swear he doesn’t look a day over 15.
What I saw was a kid who even though was sick showed some real balls and battled through it. That one play where he had the puck in his feet and just wouldn't give up on it in the offensive zone, leading to possession was a prime example of that.

I was unimpressed by the signing of Bones. Felt like yesterday's cold leftovers. But hey, I was a roiling ball of rage and dissappointment at the time! It just felt like another example of this franchise having to settle for whoever we could find that didn't have a better option on the table, and given the way the season had gone I was sorta sick of that feeling. I still think that's what it really was actually...but it's worked out pretty well anyway.
