As have I and 100% agree with this. I can’t see Chevy messing with this team. They have buy in from every single player.

If the Jets keep on playing the way they are it looks like CLC will be the place to be after the break into the New Year and during the playoffs. That was a really good crowd tonight that seemed to be having fun

Helle wanted to play on a contender, well I think I can safely say he is backstopping one of the top teams in the league

To anyone that wondered, I'm now on my computer where the ads are apparently not some dystopian "finish your post in sixty seconds or we'll nuke your reply, lol" horseshit, so I can address the post I was trying to reply to about "I wonder why 'cock' is uncensored"
Basically, it has to do with what words have completely benign homophones
Like recently, Hasbro demanded that the competitive Scrabble association make "bad words" illegal. In direct opposition to the spirit of the game and against the majority wishes of both the NSA and its members, but hey, when a multi-billion dollar corpo with a PR problem wants to clean up their image, that's what they do.
So for one example, they decided to ban the adjective "butch", as in, "of a woman, especially a lesbian, to present in a stereotypically masculine fashion". And of course, the superlative "butchest" was also banned. But what about the case where a woman has this quality to some comparative degree, just not a maximal one?
of course, they had to leave "butcher" in the game, because that could also spell a person who chops your meat for you, and in a game where the words are literally 100% decoupled from any meaning whatsoever (fun fact: one year, the French national Scrabble champ was a bored Welsh savant who didn't speak a word of French but decided to memorize the official French word list 'for a challenge'), you literally have no way to discern.
So yes, even words like "chink" (a dent) or "spade" (the highest ranking suit in a deck of cards) among many others, they sailed right through. And so it goes when you try and make up a static censorship list as forums try to do.
So instead you do the next best thing and staff them with people, but people are flawed. See which, the mod who somehow concluded "did Wayne Simmonds fulfill his speculated plan to kneel for the national anthem? My friend and I need to settle a bet" counted as me being a TOS-violating racist.
And you're goddamn right I'm never letting that one go, but that's another point.
Basically, we either have a choice: token-based matching with a shit-ton of false positives and negatives, or virtual hall-monitors with a shit-ton of false positives and negatives. And if it's any consolation, they both suck.
Also, uh, go Jets go, great job tonight. Just to keep things on topic

Would have been sweet to have been the first team to shut out the bruins.

Dominating performance from start to finish. I guess this was statement game #2. Look out NHL, these Jets are for real. Was at the game tonight. I was happy to see a bigger crowd, even if there were a lot of Bruins fans. I hope they enjoyed the ride home.
Wow, what a game by the Jets! Too bad Hellebuyck didn't get a shut out, but it was a great effort by the good guys! I give this game five Fozzie Bears out of five...
The Prediction Contest for the game against the Chicago Blackhawks has been posted, so start getting your guesses in. Thank you @Luc Labelle for volunteering to make the GDT for the next game. We are all looking forward to it! I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I will see you next Wednesday! Good night...

We need one that Jason Mamoa/Henry Cavill meme of the Jets sneaking up on the Canucks.

Here for the hot takes
Just as I predicted - changing things up and leaving the Bruins wondering how they just lost so bad.
I genuinely have no idea how we can improve beyond what we’re doing. This team has it sorted out and is scary good.

I just kinda feel I should post something to show appreciation for what's going on with the Jets right now.
So like... wow.

I'm with you there! I went to many WHA games as well and although we had great dmen we've never had an overall team defense like this! Love it!

Jets just dominated a top team in the East. That feels good.
Apart from our run to the conference finals, I feel like this is the first time we're actually just winning games because we're the better team. Players that were considered to be lazy are playing their hearts out. Scheifele isn't losing battles, Pionk makes his mistakes but fights to recover. Ehlers is *always* the player covering for the defenseman stepping up.

Jets not only managed to beat the Bruins but made them look pedestrian. That was a statement game for sure.
Team is giving me some 17/18 vibes.

I am very happily eating crow. Going into the season, I thought the Jets would be a bubble team. Instead, the Jets are comfortably in a playoff position and one of the top teams in the West.
woot! Woot!
luckily, the team hasn’t missed KFC (thanks for stepping up Vilardi!).
Keep the good times rolling…GJG!

Perfetti’s line scoring is one improvement. I mean names and lafallo have hurt cole’s offense.

Can't like this enough -
Yes, they have buy in - finally.
This coaching staff knew what needed to be done and how they needed to play - and they are there.
And it looks more stable than it ever has - which leaves me thinking this team is a contender.
I won't get too far ahead of myself but I'm feeling like I can get out a little further than I have in the past.

Really missed bantering with you all tonight...
Had guests over and watched the game with them...
I've just got to say thanks to the Jets for a great start to this season...
The Jets and HFJets can enjoy their Christmas season to the fullest...
Peace to all boys and girls...
And a word from our Coelacanth of the year on the Jets season so far (hope you don't mind @kanadalainen) ....
I leave all HFJets with the following performance from David Bowie & Bing Crosby from a long time ago.. their gift to you all starts at 1:46 of the video... an unlikely duo... but pure gold... they express My sincere sentiments to all of you on HFJets through this Christmas...

Fantastic game to be at. Jets played a great game, arena was almost full, crowd was loud and into it plus lots and lots of sad Bruins fans at the end. One drunk Bruins fan sitting near us was being super obnoxious first period but didn't say much afterwards.
Best game I've been to in quite awhile

Wanted to say this last game.
I think the guys are so committed to the 5 on 5 play that it screws up the power play ( holding on to the puck).
But overall this team has me more confident in wins ever. Even more than when ducky played
