  1. Not sure how much more of the team’s future I would mortgage for temp fill-ins. Big names are gone, price will be high, and the competition is wide open this year. 5 legit West contenders, not counting the defending champs who just made a big splash themselves in the trade market, and a Kings team that showed how hot it could get in November, and a surging Nashville. Jets have four line depth and the best goalie in the business now, enough to have kept them at the top of the Conference all season. May be enough to take a run as is. We haven’t even considered adding Heinola or McGroarity to the mix yet as depth.
  2. Prukop with Jackson lead blocking would have scored that TD.
  3. Kennerd with the game winning point……on a missed 11 yard field goal. After having kicked one wide from 12 yards out earlier in the game.
  4. He’s made some big saves, but a couple of the goals he’s let in have been soft for him.
  5. And now the late power play against. Hold your breath.
  6. Logan Stanley teeing off from the blue line. Second and third lines of the Jets carrying the offensive zone time.
  7. Jets’ flu vs Seattle’s back-to-back fatigue: which takes hold first? To be fair Jets have carried the play and shot chances are almost 2:1, but Seattle’s transition odd-man rushes are killing us tonight.
  8. Number of points required (combination of Jets points gained and other teams' points lost) to clinch (tiebreakers not factored in unless otherwise noted): March 28: 22 days left in the regular season. Jets can still earn 20 points (114 total)- Jets have guaranteed no worse than a 21st place finish in the NHL (ahead of Calgary and Pittsburgh, Jets hold the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh) Magic number of 1 to clinch 20th (over New Jersey) Magic number of 3 to clinch 19th (ahead of NYIslanders, Jets hold the tiebreaker) Magic Number of 6 to clinch a wildcard playoff spot (ahead of St. Louis, Jets hold the tiebreaker) Magic number of 13 to clinch #7 seed wildcard spot (over Vegas) Magic Number of 17 to clinch 3rd In Central (ahead of Nashville) Magic Number of 24* to clinch 2nd in Central (ahead of Dallas - magic number of 16 to eliminate Jets from contention) Magic Number of 24* to clinch 1st in Central (ahead of Colorado - magic number of 18 to eliminate Jets from contention) Magic number of 25* to clinch 1st in Western Conference (ahead of Vancouver - magic number of 17 to eliminate Jets from contention) Magic Number of 27* to clinch President's Trophy (ahead of NY Rangers - magic number of 15 to eliminate Jets from contention) (*do not control their own destiny to achieve) Based on current points percentage, projected final points for each team (Jets current total of 94 points has them already securing a playoff spot, 4th in the Central, 8th in the West, 14th in the league, and projected to finish 3rd in the Central, 4th in the West, and 8th in the NHL) Col - 111 Dal - 111 Wpg - 107 Van - 112 Edm - 105 LA - 101 Nas - 103 Veg - 98 —————- St.L - 91 Fla - 111 Bos - 110 Tor - 103 NYR - 114 Car - 109 Phi - 92 TB - 99 Was - 93 ————— Det - 90
  9. Apparently the flu bug is ripping its way through the Jets dressing room. Govern your disappointment accordingly if the team looks sluggish.
  10. @FrostyWinnipeg love the thread title, I am making my pitch right now for Friday’s re-match thread to be titled “From SEA to shining SEA”
  11. What TSN says is he never fumbled and never lost one. It does not mention turnovers on downs. And I know for a fact those stats are not completely accurate. In his one game as a Bomber rushing he failed on a 3rd and goal QB sneak attempt against Hamilton, and after that Dru Brown became the short yardage QB until they brought Prukop back and cut Pigrome. Once in Ottawa he failed on two more 3rd and short attempts. His most infamous gaffe was in a 3 point loss to the Ti-Cats where he had 3 cracks from the Hamilton 1 yard line to punch it in and got zero yards each time (in fact he fumbled the 2nd down play but his teammate recovered it).
  12. Just a reminder that Perfetti just turned 22 at the start of the year. This is his second full season and third overall. He had 8 goals, 22 assists last year for 30 points in 51 games, is 14-16-30 this year with a quarter season to go (on pace for 19-22-41). Scheifele by comparison at 22 was in his 4th season (2nd full) and had 15 goals, 33 assists, 49 points in a full 82 game season, and in his third year was 13 goals. 21 assists, 34 points in 63 games. So fairly comparable numbers, Scheifele a bit ahead. Way too early to call for a trade IMO.
  13. Didn’t think there was any sexual component to it. He was drunk after a team party and walked into the wrong house. Got beaten up by the husband with a vacuum cleaner hose for sitting on their couch and rambling incoherently. Plead guilty to misdemeanour trespass. But hasn’t been convicted for being a sexual predator, AFAIK.
  14. But no one here was saying he should be kicked out of the league permanently either, which is how some have reacted to Kelly’s allegations. And many called it a “mistake”, not a crime, which it was. Or that more than a one game suspension was warranted and were content to have him come back and play while the charges still hung in the air.
  15. For one possible answer, see the general (but not universal) difference in reaction to Andrew Harris’ failed drug test and the justification that it was a tainted sample/useless old school steroid no one would take/so minimal in reading it was effectively useless and the corresponding response to Leonard’s test refusal (and therefore unknown what if anything he was on) in Saskatchewan and all the PED Leonard comments.
  16. They match up well against our style, and we have never beaten Jake Oettinger in regulation. Funny thing is Dallas can’t beat Colorado, who we have not lost to yet. Whoever gets first place in the division has a big advantage not having to play the other two in the first round (unless of course Edmonton slips back to the wildcard spot and becomes a super dangerous 7 seed). Best case scenario is Jets win the division and face Nashville or even better St. Louis, next best is face LA, third best is finish second in the Central but draw Colorado in Round 1 and hope Dallas gets upset by the wild card team.
