Goalie Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Only 60 more games to go. But ya. Team looks like it's lost. Confused. Only 16 shots on goal tonight. Something ain't right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Good news is our goals against has been lowered since the beginning of the season, bad news is our offensive output has been microscopic. FrostyWinnipeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Seems like other year of team building and learning letting the younger players make mistakes and adjust to the NHL, probable lottery pick, and hope for better season next year cause this losing is getting old.

HardCoreBlue Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Most, if not all teams, go through a funk, i.e., losing streak during a season. This is one of those times. Obviously we need to break out of the funk sooner than later. I am not ready to give up on this team just yet. Look at the Oilers, lost five in a row (I wish it was more) and now they are back to winning consecutive games (which I want it to stop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Difference is Oilers were above .500. Jets aren't. It's still early tho. 60 games to go... lots of time. I think maybe unrealistic expectations kicked in a bit... now with a depleted roster missing many many key players.. Reality kicking in. Reality is that the jets were a playoff bubble team with everyone healthy. Without? They aren't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) They'll never catch up. The season may have 60 games left but unless they go 45-15 from here on in they'll play the chase game the rest of the season just like last season & fail. Jets goaltending is just lousy & was overrated going into the season. None of the guys we have in net are capable of carrying the team. The prospects we have in our system haven't developed yet. Some of our veterans are not playing well & we have injury issues. Maurice can't make chicken salad out of chicken feathers. You can blame Paul Maurice all you like but some of this mess is on our GM as well. Edited November 27, 2016 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Price might be the only goalie on the planet to carry a team with this many injuries and i doubt he could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz most nights I think the younger drafted and developed players have been pretty good. I don't know if there's a team in the league that could lose 2 top 4 D and 2 top centers plus how many top 9 wingers and do much better It's not like our injured players are 4th line scrubs... it's legit players... Little Perreault Armia stafford Even... Myers Enstrom... these aren't exactly scrubs here Edited November 27, 2016 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) GMs can't keep firing coaches because of mistakes the GM makes. We all know that. GMs usually have 2 head coaches they can fire before it's all dumped on them. For years now we've heard how the Jets supposedly have the best prospects playing in their system since 2013. So far, what have we seen? Most of them are playing on the Moose & aren't in a position to help us... yet. Maybe they will eventually (sure hope so) but the process is taking a long, long time. Meanwhile we don't build by trade or free agency so to be able to draft correctly is ultra important to get it right. I'm hoping that the draft prospects start working out & soon but it doesn't look like it this season. If Chevy cans Maurice it may be the last head coaching fire & hire that he does for the Jets.

Goalie Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Chevy will be here many years after Maurice is gone. I don't think you really understand what the Jets are doing. Drafting and Developing takes time. Especially when your prospect cupboard was empty not long ago. The oilers got a franchise player and finished worse than the Jets last year. Buffalo finished about the same as the Jets. These rebuilds take time. Toews and Kane weren't superstars in year 1. It takes time. Chevy will be here for as long as he wants to be. Not 1 expert expected the Jets to make the playoffs this season. Not 1. Vegas odds makers didn't expect them to either. They were expected to be a playoff bubble team with a healthy roster and probably still will be a playoff bubble team when it's all said and done this season Edited November 27, 2016 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think the Jets and the stars and avalanche Miss the playoffs this year with the Stars finishing ahead of the Jets and the Avalanche finishing behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Lot of UFA goalies the last couple of years probably my only beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not as knowledgeable as you when it comes to the Jets. I read your posts & you are certainly clued into the team on a day to day basis a lot more than I am. I just know the team isn't performing well. Goaltending & injuries seem to be the big issue. I just think it's unfair to solely lay the blame at the feet of Paul Maurice. That's all I really have to say. I could be totally wrong. Edited November 27, 2016 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Something ain't right....and it usually leads back to the coach...Ever since we brought back Trouba we've headed south...What the hell is going on....There's no papering this over anymore...Something stinks.

Ducky Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Trouba has arguably been the best defenseman on the team since he came back. He is not anywhere near the reason this team is where they are. Edited November 27, 2016 by Ducky Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Well... when on your 5 game losing skid you score 6 goals in total... Goaltending isn't the problem. Jets scored 1 goal in 4 games and 2 vs Philly. You can't and won't win games if you can't score more than 1 or 2 goals a game. Today? Sure. Jets were dominated and helle stood on his head .... don't care if it's price Lundqvist Holtby whoever.... they can't stand on their head every game. Helle is good. Hopefully the O starts to score more tho. If they do... they will win more. I personally don't think goaltending is even a top 3 problem on the team I think in no particular order Penalties PP Defense And Coach are the real issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I can't believe that you don't think injuries are a problem because injuries are by far the biggest reason the team isn't doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
