Who asked.
Do you have anything intelligent to say or are you just here to troll. I think you've made the answer pretty clear...
So much anger. My original post was just adding some context, you need to chill the f*** out.

Yeah, yeah... you were talking about Connor blah, blah, blah.

Lol maybe he's closer to returning than previously thought

OR

The kid who spent his recent past in LA doesn't love our early winter and wants to go to Vegas with the boys

I'd be excited if he was on the plane and it was going to Ottawa, Buffalo or Edmonton

And f*** Vegas

I had this exact thought.

"What? 3 days in Vegas? And if I rent a Maserati, how many hours to Palm Springs... Coach? Coach!!!"

The fact that the Jets are bottom five in both special teams and are being buoyed by strong 5v5 play is a welcome change from the last few years, in my books.
I think that's the thing that is being somewhat missed by some. Our defensive and 5v5 play is measurably better than years past. So, even though we might not be reaping the benefits in the standings yet, we are playing in a way that is more sustainable for winning, not only now but in the playoffs.

Of course, that's not saying that we don't have to worry about special teams, they absolutely need to improve. However if we can reach the magical 100 number (PK plus PP %) this team will be competing for the division IMHO.

The pk GA will improve for sure and there's definitely more goal scoring potential on the pp

Usually you come up with a plan for an identity. Are we going to accept guys who put up lots of points and are weaker at D like Ehlers kfc and Schief or do we get rid of everyone who isn’t great two way players.
Schief is the leader so sets the tone so addressing him first could makes the most sense.

Also would argue Ehlers inability to stay healthy is a bigger problem for the team.

teams can win with a variety of different players or play-styles. it's finding the mix and line-combos that works. ie: kessell was an all offense/no d player, but ended up as a legit conn-smythe candidate w/ the right player mix. Or even Kuznetsov. Malkin is similar too, however id refrain from comparing a generational or near-generational type player at their peak to most NHLers.

getting rid of scheifele ..... have you seen this team in the POs w/o scheifele?

imo we need players to step up and either adapt or elevate their games in the POs. at the end of the day it's a collective effort, however in the past when scheifele was out KC would be the main guy id look to for this given his regular season proficiency, or last year w/ PLD too. & ofc ehlers needs to stop dressing as a Ghost & celebrating Halloween in Spring




looking at some of the top scoring wingers since 17-18, and of course PO samples are smaller so few pts may have big swings, but based on what players have done to-date in those games played

sorting by top-50 in highest reg season points for NHL Wingers:

those wingers reg season ppg avg: 0.86
PO ppg average: 0.75 (doesn't include 3 players w/ 0 gp)

so on average, it seems like the wingers have scored a bit less in the POs. 10 wingers of the top-50 in reg. season scoring had an equal or greater PPG in the POs vs regular season.

of the top-50 top scoring wingers in the nhl since 17-18, the biggest diff in PO vs RS ppg
KC 43rd worst
Ehlers worst

If we need a good luck charm, how about a babe in Wpg Jets gear instead of a plain Jane?
There is this iconic photo... :nod:

Maybe time to give Jane another go.:D
I would definitely support that plan.

And i agree with you that for our PP we have too much talent to be as bad as we are. This is on coaching and PP system. Its been 9 games now and its not working, time to change up the strategy.
I agree we do have the physical talent. i question if they have the hockey IQ.

It was great, actually. The muppets "its time to burn the incense, its time to slay the sheep, etc" was 10/10.

That was an amazingly lucky find. It was an old meme that did the round years ago ("Eldritch Muppets") and I was like "... I wonder if someone has used voice AI to record the voiced lyrics to it..." and bam, I had my perfect way-off-Broadway production ;)

I wonder if it's my fault because I cut Barbara Streisand's number from the final production in favor of a Chris Jericho cameo? Hope not, cause that was my favorite part :P
