Jets 5 - Flames 2

[Eyeseeing]

Was at my first game this year.
KFC’s goal was right in front of me…RIDICULOUS!!!!
Calgary surprised me as they didn’t really tire out until the 3rd.
Jomo didn’t have a super strong game.
Comrie solid.
Fleury is a strong skater.
Coleman is a douche

As a Stanley critic, I watched him carefully and I thought he played a really solid game

Wow! A clown? Talk about taking something too seriously hahaha
If you are this literal with everything and cannot infer the nuance in my words then we are done here. I will respectfully, refrain from commenting on your posts and vice versa but for clarity :
1. I enjoy the Jet's wins if they deserve them;
2. I have never looked past the regular season until this year and that is because of the past 2 playoff disasters. Therefore, there is precedent and it is not a hypothetical scenario; and
3. If the Jets or other playoff bound teams were ' content' with their regular season records they would not be looking to improve by adding players at the trade deadline.

Anyway, this clown ain't going to stop posting.

There is no truth to point #3 & it's been evidenced every year

NHL team teams are usually content being playoff bound. NHL teams may be jubilant if not overjoyed when their record has them seeded 1st in the division & conference.

In both scenarios all these teams will be looking to improve by adding players at the trade deadline. As of today 15 teams have a 60% chance of making the playoffs with 2 teams (NYR & Boston) having a 49.3% & 38.5% chance. Every one of these teams is looking to improve at the trade deadline, including those 1st overall. The Carolina move is a good example & now everyone else will be keeping up with Jones'.

Nearly every team is active every year, looking to improve immediately, or making deals to improve in the future. This story from 2019 notes that over the past 50 years, 592 trades have been made on the decline day itself amounting to 12 trades per year. The simply math on that would have 24 teams making trades each year, & if you factor in that the league had just 12 teams it amount to nearly every team every year making a trade on deadline day, not even factoring in the days & weeks leading into the trade deadline.

I disagree. If teams were 'content" they would not be looking to improve. I do not disagree with looing to add players at the TD and as you pointed out it is a natural part of team building. You need to take my comment in the context of replying to the poster that called me a clown,

We understand that

Helly
Scheifele
Connor
Morrissey
Lowry
Ehlers

are the straws that stirs the team.


But some under the radar

Samberg how he can now be on a 2nd pairing without us worrying
The 4th line it can rotate 3-5 guys and they dont miss a beat

Then what we already talked about
good acquisitions by chevy to support the first 6
Villardi
Nemestikov
Neiderrieter

to top it all i think this guys like playing with each other overall.

Hats off to Lowry Morrissey and Scheifele

Once again, the Jets are a good team but I am not convinced their pre-playoff season play can be replicated in the playoffs. I hope I am wrong.
I am definitely not a leafs fan but can still think they will win the cup. I would not be happy if they did but have a feeling they will based on having an easier road than the Jets

I hope that clears up the confusion and just because my pom poms are not as big as @gojetsgo does not mean I do not want the Jets to go!!

Jets are a playoff team.
Their middle of the pack i think it terms of success since 2017-2018.

But yeah ultimately success will be measured when and if they win the cup.

They have the ingredients this year.
They just need to go for it. Rise to the challenge.

Great to see Comrie finally rewarded with some goal support.

I'm not sure how much goal support he can expect when nearly all his starts have been on the second half of back to backs.

Once Comrie was announced as the starter & the odds on the Jets goal total fell, I immediately advised my buddy to take advantage of some not so well thought out odds. #easymoney

Last night telecast it was interesting how many times Sawyer and Robertson mentioned the lack of power plays for the Jets in the last X games.

I’m not a conspiracy guy but I think this “game management” by the refs is definitely happening to some extent.

Game management was addressed & statistically proven back when the hot mic incident happened.

I believe Garret wrote:

"If reffing were purely objective, you'd expect there to be a weak relationship between penalties drawn and penalties taken. There could still be some correlation, because if one team is being aggressive and dirty, it can tend to bring out that same behaviour in the other team. Regardless, over a full regular season, you'd expect that a "dirty team" would be penalized far more than their opponents, and a "clean team" to be penalized far less than their opponents."

Over 10 seasons between 2010 & the hot mic incident that caused this to be analyzed in the first place, There was a VERY strong correlation.

"There's an R2 value of 0.912, for those of you that know basic statistics. To me this absolutely screams that refs are interfering in games on a very very regular basis. Rather than calling games objectively, they constantly do "make up calls", and try not to "interfere" in the game too much."

"I.e., if one team is dirty and gaining a lot of penalties, they'll make a bunch of softer calls on the other team to "even things up" (this represents the higher end of the distribution where teams with a ton of penalties for also have a ton of penalties against). On the flip side, cleaner teams, because they commit very few penalties, will have very few penalties called on their opponents regardless of how the opponent is playing, allowing their opponents to get away with what should be penalties (see low end of the distribution)."

"This creates a situation where refs aren't calling penalties objectively on both teams, but are instead constantly shifting the goalposts, and creating different standards for different teams."

The leafs have an easier road out of the East on paper than the jets but injuries, luck and fate all play a role in who ends up with the cup.

Right now the Jets have a 21.2 chance of making it out of the West while the Leafs have a 6.8 chance to advance for the East.

You've a right to express an opinion, but "on paper" the Jets have the easier road.

I just gave it a shake and should correct myself .The travel had something to do with it perhaps 20 t o25% but would you agree there is blue print for beating this team?

There's a blueprint to beating every team except the cup winner. You pick the worst part of the Jets schedule, to prove your narrative. I've read your post before and really don't beleive your a Jets fan, but someone who trolls the page. And if you check the floor you may have found something there after you shook your head.

Re: goaltending

Had helle played to a .920 regular season standard, that's 9 less goals over the 5 game span

I'm not pinning the whole series on him, but you can't score your way out of .869 goaltending

Our losses were by three goals four goals 4 goals and 3 goals.
Our problem was putting the puck in their net.

Our losses were by three goals four goals 4 goals and 3 goals.

Scores were 7-6 (us), then losses of 5-1, 6-2, 5-1, and 6-3

You really think that the problem wasn't goals against? We should have beaten them 6-5, 7-6, 6-5 and 7-6?

If a team plays loses a series in 5 games and the fewest goals they gave up in a single game over that span was 5, I'd personally say that keeping the puck out of the net was the biggest problem

Vilardi is 25 but yes totally agree, Pionk and a 1st for Trouba was another very good trade when Chevy didn't have alot of teams to trade to because Trouba would only go to New York.

Yes, I guess I.was a couple years out on Villardi’s age, but even at 25, he’s still not in his prime yet, which is around 28 yrs old. He could become a real star player.
