That only thing that counts for me is 9-1 nobody and I mean nobody had the Jets at 9-1 at the 10 game mark
The next month will be rougher with that crazy road trip at the end

Something that came up last year during the cold streak in the spring was that while many were blaming deployment, the reality is that the Jets has a schedule from hell. I compared their results to other teams when they had a month with a terrible schedule (Dallas and Colorado specifically) and the outcomes were similar

In October they had two different 3 day breaks between games. They played 12 games in 31 calender days

In November they play 14 games in 30 calender days, including 4 games in 6 nights in 3 different time zones at the end of the month. They do have 3 seperate 2 day breaks, but no 3 day breaks. The upside is that there's only one back-to-back

TL/DR they will have a tougher schedule, probably resulting in more losses but deployment will still be blamed around here

Just took a quick look and after the CBJ game they got TB x2 Dallas, NYR, Florida x2. Talk about murderers row.

The big question is how does the Jets navigate the next month. If we stay somewhere close to our current win percentage we will likely be in that top of the division conversation come season end.

Of the 28 available points in November, I'd probably be happy if we ended up with 18-20 to be honest

I'm guessing helle gets 10 or 11 of those games

To have an 8 point cushion on the Avs and 11 on the Preds this early in the season is something I think few would have predicted. Dallas and Minnesota are still lurking behind them in spite of the hot start.

Jets have been known to take their foot off the pedal, and I think the real measure of the Jets is playoff success, but acculumating points against weaker teams wasn't something the team always did.

Still lots to prove.

Jomo leads the team in assists and blocked shots...

4 guys shooting 20% or higher

Nino leads team in hits

Samberg/pionk lead in xgf even with the TO game... thats impressive

Kupari leading our PK corsi

All of our Cs have 50% or more in faceoffs - thats impressive

The next ten will tell the tale - we've done a nice job of winning games we are supposed to win.
And I don't take those games for granted - it's a tough league.
I look forward to watching the next 10 - I think we will find that making the PO's if this division will take everything we have.
Not slighting the Jets - just trying to be realistic in expectations - the real test is around the corner.

They've seen the schedule and they know whats coming, JMO has mentioned it and Demelo mentioned it in his last media piece, "We haven't really done anything"

This team can do incredible things when they get going but the need to learn how to come out of the gate swinging more often. We had too many games in october where they didn't seem to click until the 2nd half of the 2nd period. Even if the end result was a W, if you pull that shit against carolina tb or dallas you may as well hang up the towel:sarcasm:

Just going 6 in 5 from here would get us about 105 points this year. That alone would be a very good season. I think we have the team to do a little better than that!

Through 10 games the Jets 5v5 play has been average to below average mainly driven by the top-2 lines. Both of those line have had their moments but it hasn't clicked consistently.

Lowry line and 4th line have been good.

Miller has been great, Fluery needs to find his way back in the lineup.

The 2nd pairing has had some howler nights but have been net positive. Helle good.

Need some more games at 5v5 like the Detroit one against good quality competition, most of the Jets elevated shooting has come on the PP an 6 on 5. The PP won't stay at 45%, the best PP in the league in pretty much every season settles down at around 28%. 23-28% will be a good PP and that's where I expect the Jets PP to probably settle. Hopefully they can bring around the 5v5 play and scoring around the time specialty team regression hits.

Good thing is that the 9-1 start leaves them lots of time to fix things that aren't working similar to the 17-18 Jets who had question marks around this team despite the hot start. Hopefully the Jets use it wisely like the 17-18 version of this team did.

Its been the mother of all hot starts. You take that any season. Their luck will regress to the mean at some point.

Fun start, wish I could have watched more but haven't had the time and I don’t enjoy sports on tv in long form at this snap shot in time.
