Punctuation is our friend!

I have a t-shirt for that...

Everybody likes goals, but I think Arniel still has the plan with roles. Jets PK has fallen to 22nd, and a big reason for that is their best PKer is on the shelf.

For the bottom 6 guys who are here, I think you might be in danger of losing your job to a deadline acquistion if you don't pick it up. Morgan Barron has better metrics than AI, Kupari and Namestnikov on the PK. So far Gus has been used sparingly as a PKer which is a bit of a surprise given that is basically the role that has kept him in Winnipeg so long. But he hasn't been good on the draw either. I'd say there is a good chance he is on waivers next year, this year he might survive and get those opportunities if someone in the bottom 6 goes down.

PP2 hasn't really been the issue this year. Maybe with Ehlers going down and Perfetti moving up, no one filled the void. Which Chibrikov just did. If you are looking forward, maybe you see Chibrikov as the replacement for Ehlers.

I guess if Chibrikov has a high enough impact 5 on 5 you could consider moving someone out of the lineup. But it's a little difficult to conceive of improving a bad PK that has cost the team some points in recent games by negation.

Yeah I think Gus is a legit 4th liner but not on the Jets with the depth we have.

Ok this is funny. I guess I had a Hey Boomer moment

Proverb. even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. A usually unreliable person can be right sometimes, even if it is just by chance.

In my context I got lucky with my prediction that I thought the Jets were going to come out with with energy.

And you kids get off my lawn (wait does that have a different meaning too?

I don't think it's that. The Jets aren't as bad as their play has been over the last couple of weeks. Just regression - they're always due for some, one way or the other.

I know the one about blind squirrels but the orig post never said blind. If your having a Boomer moment try being me a decade older than the Boomers.

Gave up years ago trying to keep current with slang when my grandkids use phrases and none of their parents know what they mean. One lass of 14 said something to her brother that made no sense and her father came up behind from her and asked what it ment and she turned bright red.
Some things never change.

So tied for first in the league.
Got 21 wins when every other team is in the teens.
Last game we lost to CBJ and Moneypuck says we got 93% chance of playoffs.
We destroy da Bruins 8-1 and Moneypuck now says we got 91.2% chance of playoffs.
Weird world, man.

Sorry @Jets 31, speak for yourself. I'm still without home internet...

Just go outside and play with the antenna. Don't go outside it's f***ing cold.

 

[Jets 31]

The way i'm reading that is Comrie starting, hopefully i'm wrong with that i want to beat Vegas the cheating bastards.

Okay, so somebody had to look it up and you had to figure it'd be me. If you type [slang "getting a nut"] into Google it says:

The slang phrase "getting a nut" is a reference to having an orgasm. It can also refer to testicles or the clitoris.

I call this trying to get a nut and giving up.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

When the team is "on", they'll tend to have a higher shooting percentage because that's the type of goals they score

Sure. But I think it is wise to temper the euphoria a bit after a game like that.

I hope that last night's game was a result of getting home and a little rested. I hope they are back to the way they were earlier in the season. We'll see.

Hmmm it makes sense now ... if she climb the pole a few times ... it's possible she is having an orgasm or two.

I don't know that "the Jets were due to bring" has any basis in reality (cf: Chicago or Nashville being due/overdue for a victory). And I don't know that "getting a nut" today means what you think it means (cf: Princess Bride). But I'm in enthusiastic agreement with everything else you said.

We were reminded why the number one line got that position and how smoothly they can pass and make plays, but it was a night when everyone was skating. When they weren't fighting. The officiating looked pretty good from my couch although they may have a let a few bad hits go on both sides Helle was both on his game and blessed with a lot of in-close luck and our defence was actually up to the challenge. So bring on Vegas!

Edit: Anyone else wishing we could have saved 4-5 of those goals for another game.

I would agree about saving some goals for Vegas but after some of the dirty shit Boston did last night i wanted the Jets to score 20 .Honestly we have scored the most goals in the NHL , i think when we play like we can we are going to score goals.
