Nice first goal.  But man, this team is so sloppy.  Weak passes exiting the zone, no urgency to get to the puck.  Can’t win like that.

The 3rd line needs new blood.  Lowry is fine, but Namestnikov needs to sit down and Nino is slumping too often.

Better looking 2nd period, so far.

Jets 49 points after 52 games

6-2-2 last 10

if they repeat that 3x in last 30 games that gives us 42

91 points thats cutting it close

Not enough imo probably puts them 3-5 points out of playoff pic at the end of the season following the footsteps of the Flames last couple of years.

And a meh (something like) 15th pick in the draft. A kid we may or may not see until 2030.

Yup probably the worst possible place to finish- just outside the playoffs.

I dunno. I think they sneak in. Either they sneak in or they finish bottom 10 with a lotto pick at 1 2 3 overall.  They are pretty much bottom 5 right now still so they got a ways to go. I just not sure I trust the teams ahead of them who weren’t supposed to be good to stay good after the break. The break will actually prob really help the older jets and might hurt the the younger teams currently playing perhaps above their expectations

Being in the fantastic mood that I'm in right now, squeaking into the playoffs losing in the first or second round yet again will give Chevy a continued hiding place around expectations and scrutiny of his role knowing he is just one piece of the puzzle but does sit quite high on the hiearchy of accountability.

So either win the Stanley Cup this year or start the retool proces tout suite.
