Post-Game Talk: Jets 5 - Hawks 4, in a SO

[AlaskaJet]

Awesome Morrissey/Perfetti and a solid Helly when it counted games give us the golden boy award. Hope Fly is mending and we are..

And we are “Takin’ care of business…and workin’ overtime..”

Armiel did not sound positive about Ehlers

3/5 Skeletons tonight, not the best night for Helle but he did make some great saves in the second. Joshua with a great game offensively. Koal is getting better and better, KFC is KFC, Barron is becoming a very good player. Not a lot you can take from tonight's game the Hawks need work but they played well tonight. Winning the Division with an actual win was the best part of the night. 2 games to close out the season can they win the Presidents Trophy? would be great for this fanbase and franchise but we all want the bigger prize that awaits.

Armiel did not sound positive about Ehlers

he sounded fine

 

[Ossific]

More teams win the president's trophy and win the cup than teams that don't make the playoffs and win the cup. Crazy stat!

Tops in the West, who would have thunk it? Not a great effort by our guys, but a win is a win. I love three-on-three overtime, but hate the shootout. I give this game three "Da Bears" out of five...

The Prediction Contest for the game against the Coilers has been posted for your guesses. I have already posted the GDT for that game and will follow it up with the season ending GDT on Wednesday. See you tomorrow! Good night...

Hope ehlers is okay and we see him in playoffs.

Agreed, and to go deep in the playoffs, we’ll definitely need Ehlers, in my opinion.

Ehlers is a great player, but the downside, he’s fragile, and generally won’t play thru pain.

Hope he’s ok, as we’ll need him.

 

[Hobble]

Wrap Ehlers in bubble wrap and shut him down for the next two games.

 

[jungles]

he sounded fine

I don't know. If you watch he didn't come across near as positive as Mike made it sound.

taken from a reddit thread:
Just a reminder the President's trophy "curse" is a myth -- and President's winners have had the highest Cup Rate than any other "place" finishers.

President's winner wins just over 20% of Cups - despite 16 teams (so about a 6% chance to win, all being equal).

Since 1986 (when it started). 8 winners have won the cup (including '94 Rangers)

So 8 out 37 Cups, or 22% of cups are won by President's winner.

This is also the highest % of any other seed.

I did watch it sounded fine

Hope so. Despite past playoff performances, we need him.

Honestly. If the Jets cratered and are knocked out in Round 1, it would have nothing to do with the Presidents Trophy, given how the last couple years have gone. They’d have no one to blame but themselves.

Beating the other top teams in the league

Beating one of the worst teams in the league in a shoot out.

 

[bustamente]

Hope so. Despite past playoff performances, we need him.

Yup we need him in and all the 4 lines going, 1 line wont be able to carry this team in the playoffs

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Maybe I’m too used to our homers Robertson and Sawyer, but it felt like this game was called like a Hawks telecast

It was the usual Sportsnet BS but nothing can take away the Jets success this year. I have been concerned about how they will do in the playoffs but to be tops in the West and Central is an amazing feat for a team from the smallest market in the league. Congrats to True North, Chevy, Chipman, Arniel and his staff and to the players that have made this a reality.
I hope they get a 10 minute standing ovation tomorrow night!!

@The Blue Baron, while watching the UFC event I thought I'd tell you that indeed the HC did beat the Stars 5-3.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Don’t care if it’s true or not, but the Jets fortunes began to change after I came on here and called Knight shutting them out in the GDT!!!

You’re all welcome!!!!!

Thank you! I believe in the jinx. It is as real as the butterfly effect..good work!!!

we double clinched!

 

[surixon]

I was at the Moose game so missed this one. Hope Ehlers is OK for the playoffs.

I want the cup and think this group can do it this year. Having said that it will be nice to have some 2.0 history hanging from the rafters next year.

[razorsedge]

Not a game to be proud of but the result of still winning and clinching1st in the western conference is. Now to see who we play in the 1st round.

 

[Moloch]

Didnt watch tonight what happened to ehlers

Blew up

 

[Mud Turtle]

I think Perfetti should allow himself to smile tonight!
Like the rest of us.
