I'm always happy to see the team win, to see our good players doing well (Laine being a notable exception) and I mean, ya gotta take the positives where you can, right?
When our season officially ends, then I'll be sullen.

OR, and I'm just spit balling here,
Isn't it MORE enjoyable to let them think they're gonna make it, only to watch the Leafs do what the Leafs do when the chips are down?
I don't know, I just love watching hockey. there was a lot to take from tonight. I feel a renewed optimism with Petan's game. I liked Helly battling back after a weak first goal. Morrissey is proving to have an outstanding defensive stick.
My one wish is that they would put Laine back with Scheifele and Ehlers so they could all have a chance to rack up the points in garbage time.
Look for the Jets to go on a bit of a run before the season is over. Usually happens right when the team is out of the playoff race. Horrible timing.

What do we have to win? A better lottery pick maybe....but that requires losing in order to win.

Tonight was the first game watching Petan play where i said i think he just might have a future on this team, sneaky quick shot and didn't get lost in the corners to bad about the overturned goal

Plus, hitting the post is a rite of passage on the Jets. Scheifele did it. Ehlers did it. Petan's got a half dozen more or so, then they'll start going in.
So according to sportsclubstats our chances of making the playoffs are about 1 in a 1,000. If you use the 50/50 method which removes factors such as how good a team is and home ice advantage, our odds go up to about 1 in 200 of getting in. A win tonight and with a little help from out of town our odds of making the playoffs will more than double
Considering how many of us willingly buy 50/50 tickets at Jets games where the odds of winning are probably about 1 in 10,000, I am surprised how virtually everyone has thrown in the towel on this season.
If we win the rest of our games we are likely in the playoffs, no matter what happens out of town (sportsclubstats has it at 74.9% but going to almost certainly 100% if we win tonight and get some help from the scoreboard).
I won't give up hope until we become totally reliant on the results of others. We are not there yet, we might be there after tonight, but until that happens I will continue to cheer on the Jets, not just to be spoilers or for Laine to win the Calder, but to keep the dream alive.
GO JETS GO
Ladd with a pair. Jets win 4 - 2
Am I right

Blake Wheeler: What did the Jets do better after they scored their first goal? How did he like the way the team settled down while they were up 4-2? On the collective team effort on D. What is it like to see five guys hit 20 goals?
Connor Hellebuyck: What was his mindset in the first half of the game? Did he like the team’s defensive mindset?
Adam Lowry: Assessing the game. What has he learned from Bryan Little? What is it like to see five guys hit 20 goals?
Coach Maurice: After the first 5 minutes of the 1st period what did he like about what his team did to take over the game? On Hellebuyck settling down after the first one got past him. What does it say about his group having five 20 goal scorers? On Little hitting 20 goals despite missing so many goals. Did he think the unexpected day off help them at all? Explanation on the disallowed goal?

Ehlers was flying out there.
Morrissey was steady as always.
The Lowry-Armia-Copp line was very good.

I can imagine trying to explain the rules of being a Jets fan to your buddy who is just getting into hockey.
You: "We're loud at MTS. So cheer lots."
Buddy: "Got it. Cheer loud."
You: "Except for Stuart, that makes you look dumb."
Buddy: "Ok. Except Stuart."
You: "And Pavelec, in case he gets called up."
Buddy: "Pavel-who?"
You: "Perfect."
Buddy: "So we're not going to make the playoffs, right?"
You: "Yeah, sucks."
Buddy: "So, I cheer for another Canadian team? I heard the Leafs might make it."
You (agrily): "NEVER CHEER FOR THE LEAFS!" <head cuff>
Buddy: "Ouch! Ok. Not the leafs. Ottawa?"
You: "Yeah, that's ok I guess."
Buddy: "What about that McDavid guy, can I cheer for-"
You: <raises fist menacingly> "DONT SAY IT."
Buddy: "Ok! Ok! So American teams then?"
You: "Yeah. American teams are good."
Buddy: "Weird. Alright. I'll cheer for them in the Olympics too."
You: "NEVER CHEER FOR THE AMERICANS!"
Buddy: "But you just said -"
You: "That's it. We're not friends anymore. **** the Leafs."

Prefer to see Andrew Ladd miss the playoffs. We got a real captain now. One with heart.
