Regarding the "youth excuse" comparison between TO and WPG, this website lists the Jets as a full year younger on average:
2nd youngest: Jets, avg age 25.759
7th youngest: Leafs, avg age 26.772
Yea but they integrated six rookies and many of them were major contributors so no matter what they were a young team too. I look at the youth as a push we were both young so youth can't really be used as an excuse.
Goaltending
Injuries
Special teams
Coaching
The rest is noise IMO.
I think the Jets have the talent on par with the other young playoff teams so I remain optimistic. Get our goaltending fixed and have normal health and I expect us to make the playoffs.
