I happened to read this power rankings from daily faceoff that suggests the Jets have collapsed. To be fair, they have hit a rough patch in the last 12, nightmare schedule a few injuries.... No excuses.
But the comment from Scott Maxwell, I have no idea who that is, insinuates we're in the same boat as the Rangers and have completely collapsed.
I don't see that. We're a highly competitive, playoff contending team; able to finish top 8 in the league. Similar team to last year.
The Jets are hated by these power rankings guys, which is hilarious to me. And it's funny seeing how wrong they all were about the Jets, Wild and Capitals, and conversely also wrong about the Predators, Bruins, Rangers etc, all teams that were supposed cup contenders.

Who is Scott Maxwell?

Power rankings are a blind statistical analysis of a teams basic w-l record and a few other numbers. These rankings never take into account the intangible effects of things like schedule, rest days, etc. on a teams performance. The Jets are much, much better than they were in November/early December (really tough schedule) so far, and are not quite as good as they were in October("easy" schedule).

Notice how the writer's only comments about the team was their win/loss record. Zero insight to even a single player, coach, team play, etc. Just answer small sample of win/loss and his own prejudice on the team. He spent more time writing that paragraph than watching the team.

Oh, he's from Toronto... that explains it.

I think you're giving power rankers too much credit. It's not statistical analysis. It's vibes.

Ya. I thought his analysis was comical. He basically basking in their losses claiming they've collapsed like he knew they would. Must be from Toronto
