What's your excuse?
The idea the Jets should Tank is ridiculous.

Yeah, the Scheifele window will never be as open as it was last year, but the window is still open.

(I call this the Scheifele window, because the biggest single asset driving our success is the Scheif contract)

Dropped this a few times last year, needs to be stated again, Scout for another team scouts the Moose regularly throughout the season, unsolicited said we have 4 prospect Dmen on the Moose that have the skills to be full time NHL blue liners.

Niku
Poolman
Stanley
Nogier

Next season you probably could add Samberg and Heinola on that list.

I think there will be a few surprised naysayers this season with how well our back end holds up.

Man he looks terrific.
The first PP he was always in position and very calm when handling the puck.
Looked far better than most would expect at 18
He looks ready to go.
Very sound defensively with sticks and angles.

I didn't get to see a lot of the last game, but I saw Heinola on the PP briefly. The way he smoothly skated to the right side of the ice and made a nice crisp pass back against the grain to Scheif in Laine's spot, was brilliant. Every image in my mind of a D in that spot on that PP stands stationary in the middle.

Along comes this kid and knows what to do instinctively.

Man, what a player he's going to be.

Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one thinking the jets are gonna be pretty good this year.

this thread may be the only one I post in this year, lol

I share your optimism.... I think our young guys have grown another year, hopefully had a productive off season and our 'new' D lineup will step up, helped by good D play from the forwards.

I'm pumped for the season to start.

I am looking forward to taking things WAY less seriously this season. Last year was kind of depressing for me as a Jets fan and even more disappointing for me as far as a citizen living in this city that was collectively petty and poor sports. My small p pain was 100% self inflicted so shame on me. I learned a hugely valuable lesson.

I vow to curate my reality and enjoy Jets Hockey for exactly what it is.........”entertainment”. I will try to take it as it comes. On Paper We have some gaping holes in our line up but who knows how it all plays out? Guys will either step up or they won’t. There are pleasant and unpleasant surprises in the NHL every season.

I am glad Hockey is back.
