You can tell when Helle is dialed in and when he's not. He tends to sit way too far back in his net and not be aggressive. In G7 3rd period and into OT, we saw the MOP Helle show up. Through this series he's slowly lost that and gone back into his shell.

Except 9 goals in 5 games isn’t gonna get the job done. Oettinger let in the softest goal last night.  Powerplay goals shouldn’t be going in? Taking dumb penalties that lead to goals is on the goalie now? Jets scored 4 goals in 1 game. That means 5 in the other 4. You ARE expecting shutouts to win. That’s impossible. 5 goals in 4 games and ppl blaming the tender. Man. Honestly. What can he do. Our only win this series is a shutout. 

I did not say any of that either. I said he allowed one soft goal, which he did.  I said that was a factor, which it was.

This club needs another Dustin Byfuglien...We need a 'heavy', to put those cheap shots like the one on Schief, in check...Dallas is getting away with a lot of crap due to poor officiating BUT with a player like Buff to police things , that cheap-shot bs disappears... We're also not taking enough shots on goal when the opportunity is there....too many passes around their goal and not enough pucks on net...We have to get this kid Otto off of his game or it'll be 'that's all she wrote'...  

Yeah, the soft goals hurt… They are demoralizing, but Dallas recovered just fine after a much weaker goal.  The lack of scoring is hurting us more.  We had chances last night, but just couldn’t cash in, and Dallas did.  It’s not that simple, but it’s kinda that simple.  We don’t have good scoring depth and it’s showing up.  The PP has to make some adjustments.  Their movements have become predictable.  Maybe some more shots from the point?  Or shots in general.  At least so the defenders have to respect that possibility more.  And for God’s sake…. Take Appleton off of the PP 2 unit.  To say he doesn’t belong is massive understatement.

No question... We need a lot more offensive production. Especially on the PP. It was an absolute clown show of errors at times yesterday with odd man rushes. That 4-on-1 was straight up embarrassing...

Let’s also not pretend that Dallas and Winnipeg are playing under the same rule book. There’s a few factors but normally you can’t win if you expect the goalie to get shutouts to win. 5 goals scored in 4 games isn’t good enough. For the record “you” is a general term I’m using to describe most comments from ppl I see online, it’s not anyone in particular, I suppose it’s prob more the bandwagon fans, the eye rollers who want to trade the goalie. Those people. The Facebook fans. Eye rolling is a girl thing. A little girl thing. Imagine eye rolling comments after saying it’s time to move on from the goalie. That’s just stupidity. Hopefully they live to fight another day so the complaining can continue. 

I don't know if it's just me but I am thinking Goalie might be a relative or somehow close to Hellebuyck.

Rally cap time?
Three straight to take the series in seven? 
Go Bombers Go?

Leafs suck?

If we're comparing offense over the first 4 games:

Stars: 11 goals

Jets: 9 goals

The eye rolling is because the comment is usually pure stupidity or ridiculous.

Yes we all know your opinion of eye rolling, why...we've seen it written many, many times.

Fyi you're not right all the time and your opinion isn't fact. You do have some interesting takes and seem knowledgeable at times.

Hellybuyck has to be better and stop letting in soft goals EVERY game. Nobody expects shutouts, but it's an uphill battle with him in almost every game. He has to better and there's no indication he will. When it's celebrated that the opening shot didn't go past him, there's something obvious wrong no matter who doesn't want to admit it.

Eye rolling is for 7 year old girls. If you are a man that rolls your eyes, you need serious help. Oh but I am right because half of you on here probably didn’t even expect them to make the playoffs even. 
 

we do need a shutout to win when we have only scored 5 goals in 4 games and 9 in 5 games. For the record I don’t give a **** what anyone really thinks. It’s all irrelevant crap that doesn’t matter. None of us have any say in any of this.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

C’mon everyone, bring it in, group hug.

Imagine having to cheer for the Leafs, the Argo’s?

You’re welcome.

9 goals in 4 games, which are all the games that have been played in this series.

And yet,your opinions keep coming.....LMAO

If I’m being honest this playoffs has kind of jaded me as a jets fan. I think round 1 was a good hard tough series, but I think there were 2 different rule books being used in that series also. Manitoba miracle I guess they call it happens. 
 

on to Dallas. First 2 games kinda boring honestly. Tied 1 1 tho. Feeling good. Maybe the reffing is not gonna be a major factor, game 3 in Dallas, it’s ******* rigged. It’s rigged bullshit. Game 4. In reality our power play and taking just dumb penalties they don’t call on Dallas but penalties none the less and inability to score goals, jets are done. Had a good year. Hell.  Like I said. We get a banner at the rink game 1 next year, that’s cool. Won a round. But honestly game 3 we got ****** and you knew at that point. That’s it. Maybe they win at home. It’s likely. But they not winning in Dallas. No way. Winnipeg Edmonton would guarantee a cdn team in the final, that’s not gonna happen and you wait and see, Edmonton will get screwed also cuz Dallas vs Carolina and the Rantanen story or Dallas vs defending champs Florida is a better draw in the USA.
