The Jets didn’t looked spectacular in a lot of games in this series - including when they were fully healthy. Point is they didn’t completely crater, which allowed them to win the game. Yes I’m aware the role that good fortune played into this.
In fact they did look like absolute shit for most of the game. 90% of regulation time they couldn’t get puck possession for shit 5 on 5; they’d try to dump it in and then lose possession and meanwhile were subject to endless counter attacks that saw St, Louis coming through center ice consistently with speed.We literally have posters here who say, “Take away any team’s 1C and 1D and they will look like shit”. But heaven forbid someone point out any examples of that not being true.
I wasn’t trolling. I agree that the “injury excuse” became valid for the devils in the playoffs considering the entire d-core was in the infirmary. I have a well known stance on the topic but that doesn’t mean it applies no matter what the degree; people are just assuming I’m making veiled commentary about the devils playoff performance specifically when I’m really just speaking broadly about a back-and-forth that goes back years. People could easily offer their rebuttals explaining how/why teams are overcoming their injury issues without making these assumptions or being so sensitive about the debate. It seems a little heavy handed that I have to tread so lightly about mentioning injuries even when talking about other teams/OoT scoreboard in the appropriate thread.
I remember he was on one of the Canadian channels last year during the playoffs.
Leafs in 7. I have them in the finals (i know i know)
