Yeah this does bring the Jets to a grinding halt. Why can't they deal with this somehow?
They do by dumping the puck in but most times not strong enough.
Case in point was the Canadians game where Carey Price was able to stop the puck almost everytime behind the net allowing the Canadians an easy exit out of their zone.

Upsets, I see Upsets everywhere
In the West conference I pretty much see every away team winning the first round IF Ben Bishop is back. Not really sure if VGK would be an upset tho.
In the East TPA, WSH, BOS should win but there's something about Don Cherry's favorite team Carolina. Pitt's experience should beat the Isle.
The real fun series will be CBJ/TPA. CBJ is my dark horse.
Biggest upset Avs take out the the Flames.

If I was doing a movie theme for this series I'd call it..
I have a theory these teams switched bodies in early January.
Stay with me on this one...the Blues were at the bottom of the league and the Jets were near the top and then SOMETHING happened. No one is sure what that something was but there was that accident at that medical lab where several people were killed.
I'm a fan but not a fanatic. Blues win.
I'm a fan and a fanatic.
Jets in six. Why? Players motivated to prove naysayers wrong.
I don't know, best I could come up with.

Playoffs is a new season. Say it over and over again.

Worst possible start imaginable. We have some sort of curse going on.

Making his NHL debut, Montreal Canadiens forward Ryan Poehling scored a hat trick in regulation before adding the winner in the shootout as the Canadiens beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 in their final regular season game of the season.
That was awesome.

Blues win therefore these are tonight scenarios:
If Nash loses...
Jets win - Jets take Div title play DAL or COL
Jets lose in overtime - Jets take 2nd place play NASH
If Nash loses in overtime...
Jets win - Jets take Div title play DAL or COL
Jets lose in anyway - 3rd place and play NASH
If Nash wins...
Jets win - take 2nd place with home ice advantage and play STL
Jets lose in anyway - 3rd place and play STL

There is no way the top three teams in the division should be the position of having to play one another in the first round. The way the playoffs are done nowadays is screwed imo.

Interesting thread Bluto, quite cathartic. 🙂
For me, it's quite easy and nowhere near as well thought out and detailed as yours.
30 Toronto Maple Leafs - You could be watching a game where the Ducks are playing the Panthers and the Leafs will come up in the conversation. The coverage on them and the fawning over them is vomit high. If they went 0 and 82 my life would be complete.
30 Edmonton Oilers/Eskimos - Grew up solidifying myself as a hardcore Jets and Bomber fan through the Oilers/Eskimos dynasties. Now that I live just outside Edmonton and work in the city, my level of pleasure is extremely high with their levels of mediocrity. Its looks good on them. I'm not well liked around these parts showing off my colors evereywhere I go.
30 Roughriders - self explanatory being on a Bomber site.
10 Colorado Avalanche - recently given as I just watched their telecast and it was way over the top homer style. I hope we meet them in the playoffs and pound the crap out of them so I can listen to their groupie commentators commiserate among each other.

April 4 Central Div Results
Preds 81games 98pts +2
Jets 81games 97pts +1
Blues 81games 97pts 2Wild Card #1 (plays Central Div winners)
Stars 80games 91ptsWild Card #2 (plays CAL)
Avs 80games 90pts +2I'd like to play the Avs again. After watching their telecast Im really disliking them. I watched the Hawks and Wild telecasts as well this last stretch and they were well done compared to the Avs channel. im hoping our telecasts dont come across like the Avs does.

Bet Goalie hasn't been fired 3 times either?
Probably was never in the position to be fired at that level (like the majority of us on this board), with all respect of course.

It's not a myth, just look at that first period last night, that is how the Jets have to play to have any success. They went back to their old bad habits in the 2nd and 3rd and it cost them.
I don't think they went back on purpose. It really does seem that can't maintain that pace throughout the game, some of them are just plain gassed (and probably injured).

Oh well. There’s always next year.
I'll state the obvious but when they play big, strong and fast like they did for the first period very few teams in this league can keep up. I guess they just don't have the energy and health to maintain that pace. I think there is indeed something to the argument about being gassed. The season length and physical impact on their bodies have caught up to some of them. For example Shief looked a half a step behind his normal self. Hopefully they can rediscover that extra gear for the playoffs.

This Colorado broadcast is making me vomit.

I'm watching the Avs over the top pregame show on their telecast. For the love of goodness please break out of this funk and annihilate them.

That doesn’t explain the late game collapses and the lack of backchecking
Yup didnt absolve players responsibility as I mentioned but I'm guessing it's not the only thing that ails this team of late. Winning or losing in stretches of time usually, not always, has to do with a variety of things going on that need to be addressed.

If they come out flat, we are done - you can’t have a 25 min team meeting and then a team building day and then not have any fire
I agree, however I would think an element to the Jets woes of late is other teams have found a useful blueprint in how to play us.
Therefore, added to the players/coaches responsibility of team unity/cohesion is the coaches ability to come up with a blueprint of their own to stay ahead of the oppositions approach.

Comrie way to deep in his net.
-
Wow what a frustrating game to watch.
-
It's a cliche but Jets need to get back to the basics, get pucks to the net, go north south. Shoot shoot and more shooting. Quit trying to pass and stick handle to the back of the net. Lowry's line is our best line right now.

for the 3rd straight year Toronto is going to the playoffs
Let's hope they get swept first round so cbc commentators will have nothing to talk about till June.

What another ugly sloppy game by the Jets. Wow.

I wouldn't at all be surprised to see the Blues end up 1st...
Perfect example of the saying not how you start it's how you finish.

Rocking back and forth keep reminding myself we are in the playoffs, don't care who we play.

Very odd this Jets team is.
So far this game has shutout written all over it. They are so flat.

A lot of Edmonton Eskimo fans just shivered with mention of his name.
