Tough gig making 6 mil a year living in Florida with 3 fans giving you a hard time about your team.

Jets in six. When they're on their game, they can beat anybody. Nothing like playoff intensity to refocus a team.

95 Leafs
5 Roughriders

50 - Riders
25 - Leafs
20 - Oilers for stopping the Jets for so many years (don't even care that they suck now)
5 - Hanging onto these to see if Jets go anywhere this year. Either going to Maurice or to whoever knocks us out if we get past the first round.

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.

The Jets are faster and more talented than the Blues and I expect Helle to be the better goalie. 
Blues may be out of gas. The Jets haven't burnt fuel in months. I'm done with the petroleum references. 
 
Jets in 5. 

Biggest upset Avs take out the the Flames.

Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. ...

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

Mine is short and angry 
50 Leafs
50 Riders

Time : Saturday 9, SNW
Stats : 46-30-5 @ 38-34-8
 
Countdown To The Playoffs : T-1 Main engine start

 
And so concludes our 2018-19 season of game themes(songs that represent the city/area/state). Hope you enjoyed it.

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.
 
 

Let's face it, put 12 women together in a room and a donnybrook is bound to break out.

Coached ringette when my daughter went from 8 thru 18  and hockey when my son went from 4 thru 16 so have a couple theories...
Ringette is a non- collision sport, much like basketball.  There is a ton of contact, and getting more aggressive as coached by the more aggressive AA coaches ( remember this is a personal theory based on observation) who are coaching based on what is and isn't being called as penalties 
Ringette only has two on ice officials and most of the time they need to watch the ring , to see who has control,to watch the markings on the ice - those lines at the top of the circle and the crease lines are more important in the rules than in hockey,  - so their vision is almost always down - contact above the waist is rarely called unless truly aggressive,  and then often miss called based on the outcome that they see when they transfer their line of sight
If ever a sport needed a 3rd ref., ringette is it - it's essentially playing hockey with two linesmen and no ref 
Also from a young age the coaches are taught to teach the boys how to take a hit and how to skate safe - shoulders up, eyes up, protect the head
And never skate straight on into the boards to retrieve the puck, skate in at an angle- sadly I realized this too late to really help my daughter and those teams - but if you watch a ringette game you'll cringe how often a girl will skate full bore straight at the ring along the boards- 
Ever notice the lack of the Stop sign on the upper back of ringette jerseys ? 
So long way of me saying it's because of the lack of coaching safety from the youngest ages and the lack of the 3rd ref  based on the misbelief  it is a non contact sport 
 

Thank-you, Frosty! Well done, as always. I appreciate the hard work you put into these over 80 times per year. 

Just sitting here waiting for the Jets to flip the switch. Sigh... 

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think you can go ahead and put Stegall in at SB, Sellers at FB, and Walby at OT, not much debate required there!
