Winnipeg Jets clinch Presidents' Trophy

[SeanMoneyHands]

I hope Scott Arniel is a candidate for the Jack Adams. He's done a great job in Winnipeg. I was a doubter and I didn't think he would be able to take over from Rick Bowness.

 

[Bradely]

Congrats Winnipeg.
If they win the SC, that would be huge....

 

[Turin]

Definitely didn’t expect it in the offseason. They’ve been great, I expected a bump without Bowness but not this good.

This thread should be easy for you all, say congratulations and move on.
Being the number 1 team in the league is an incredible achievement, especially for the least desirable market in the league.
But some of you just can’t help it you have to tell on yourselves

Trophy is meaningless, ask the Rangers.

 

[Panthaz89]

Kevin Chevaldayoff is the best GM in the league. It's incredible what he's accomplished in a city most consider to be the least desirable destination in the NHL.

Has he gotten palm trees to grow there? I heard that's real important.

Trophy is meaningless, ask the Rangers.

Haha, nonsense!

By that logic the entire regular season is meaningless

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Great to do, first time a Canadian team has done it since 2011, but the focus is the playoffs (that’s why the Jets rested so many players vs Oilers). Rest up (likely will sit even more vs the Ducks) and get ready for game 1.

2012.

Vancouver won back-to-back Presidents' Trophies in 2011 and 2012.

 

[MardyBum]

Obviously a new season in the playoffs and all that but accomplishing this in the least desirable market in the NHL is pretty impressive. Chevy for the drafting and trades, and Arniel for taking the defense first mentality Bowness was able to instill and evolving it into one that allows offense. And the assistant coaches, too.

Trophy is meaningless, ask the Rangers.

You ask them. You’re friends with them

 

[S E P H]

Which seed has the highest odds of winning the cup?

Obviously not first place because no team has done it in 12 years, being the best team in the NHL. You gotta use stats that back up your argument, not decrease it fam.

Also: I’ve never had a dog.

Is that why you've named yourself a dog name?

 

[Hunter368]

2012.

Vancouver won back-to-back Presidents' Trophies in 2011 and 2012.

Thanks, corrected it

Do you understand how odds work?

 

[White Out 902]

A memorable season, and wonderful thing for my hometown and the team itself. Hopefully they make hay while the sun shines, and bring the cup home.

Do you understand how odds work?

he would if he could read

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Suck it losers!

 

[White Out 902]

Since the Presidents Trophy has been awarded, 23% of the time they've won. 2nd place overall seed has won 21%. 3rd place 18% and so on.

Like bro, I get it, it's fun to be an edge lord and double down when proven wrong, but you're looking hopelessly stupid here.

 

[Oilslick941611]

You ask them. You’re friends with them

i am?

I dont even know a rangers fan, or met one in my entire life.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Haha, nonsense!

By that logic the entire regular season is meaningless

it is!

 

[Ossific]

it is!

Well if it doesn't matter, how come the Predators don't get to play in this year's playoffs?!

 

[Puckatron 3000]

You guys just don't understand curses. Like the lollipop curse. Once I ate a lollipop and 3 days later I stepped in dog shit. It's real bro.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Because the preds didn’t pay off the right people this year.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Good for them, congrats to the Jets and their fans. Culmination of a lot of years of good management. Not easy being a small market team, especially one located in Canadian flyover country. They're big, they're deep, they play with good pace, and they support the puck. Hellebuyck needs to show it in the playoffs for more than one series at a time but he's a great goalie.

Not a team I would be taking lightly this postseason and suspect they get passed whoever WWC2 ends up being fairly easily.

 

[Fatass]

So no Cup and will miss the playoffs next season or the one after. They do have the best goalie out there though, so maybe the curse will be broken.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Fantastic regular season. Let's see how they look in the playoffs, last seasons showing was very poor.

 

[Jaytee]

You guys just don't understand curses. Like the lollipop curse. Once I ate a lollipop and 3 days later I stepped in dog shit. It's real bro.

Well if you’re talking about curses, when the Jets left Winnipeg in 1996, I personally put a curse on the Canadian teams in the NHL, that no Canadian team would win the Stanley Cup until Winnipeg a) got a team back; and b) won the Stanley Cup.

Now I’m not saying it’s all because of me, but 29 years is a pretty long time for me to be right. All Canadian fans should be cheering for the Jets to win the Cup this year, because then your team will have a chance again.
