yes obviously the folly of that has occurred to me too. How about this then - the Oilers in 2006. Snuck into the playoffs. Then took out the Red Wings in the first round, which wasn't supposed to happen. Had a hot goalie and a team that gelled at just the right time, and rode that guy all the way to the SC finals. Anyway, if we even make it to the second round I will be ecstatic.

Hear me out - this season is reminding me a lot of the Bombers in 2019. Had a strong start, then Nichols got hurt, and it seemed like all was pretty much lost. The team was kind of floundering. And then right before the playoffs, the team galvanized and started to really find itself. I get that feeling right now from the Jets. I know that this is 99% homerism but on the other hand, we're actually pretty good. We can lay a beating on just about anyone if the team is skating. I see Helle is doing his head bob thing again after making a big save, which means that he's in the zone (I always notice that little tell of his when he's feeling it). A hot goalie can carry a team a long way, and if the Jets can shut down the shots from the other team, then we've got a shot against anybody. And now...watch the Jets go out 4 straight and make me look the fool...once again. Oh well...I tried. Only an hour and half to Crown time....

feels like we're a team of destiny this year...

I will just hope that the Jets get the first goal in every game they play in the playoffs. Their chances of winning go up exponentially after that.

repeat of 2018 - only this time we take out the expansion scum....

If I had known B's get Boobs I would have left the last 10 multiple choice questions blank on most of my exams lol...Go JETS!

who'd thunk all it would take was to get Scheif out of the center position and on the wing with PLD? Amazing how one line up change can turn an entire season around, and turn a team that looked flustered and lost into a behemoth who just steam-rolled right over those hapless Vegas bums last night.

15 more to go boys

Just when I think I can't love that Morgan Barron kid any more than I already do, he goes and gets 75 stitches and keeps playing.

2-0 early for TB - Leafs Nation already crapping bricks...

https://thehockeywriters.com/10-biggest-oilers-draft-busts-since-2000/ I still remember there were posters here who thought that we should take Poolparty over Laine. LOL

Now imagine if Edmonton hadn't gotten that miracle draft pick and McDavid went to the Sabres instead. Would we still be having this conversation?

LOL - this is like talking to Canadiens fans. "Look at how many Cups we've won". Man it's been 30 years since any Canadian team won a cup. That's just sad by any metric, no matter which team you support. That being said, I was cheering for the Oilers in 2006 and the Canucks in 2011. Oh so close.

I hope Boston has to go 7 each round to get to the Stanley Cup finals so they're all beat up and tired and easy work for our boys. Yes, Jets going to the Cup baby!!

Thanks for that. I was thrown out of my regular pool for winning too much, so good to have something to cheer for again.

I want to hear Sportsnet call Blake Wheeler "Mark Wheeler" to his face again. That was funny.

what every Jet fan found out after the fact was that phone wasn't connected.... I disagree. Let them continue to suck for eternity.

wasn't always like that, but good management changes everything. Thank you Canadian mafia, you guys have done one hell of a good job! True North should hire you guys as consultants.

I like his 58th overall 2nd round pick in 2015....

That's Mike Smith level mediocrity!

Who is Pittsburgh playing?
