Future is bright in Van and it shouldn't be rushed. I enjoy watching them play. Game on Sat night was a treat. Two super fast teams.

I'm a Jet fan and think that as well as they have played so far this season they are not as good as the Oilers. The Jets defence sucks and are only where they are now because of Helly. Helly has been lights out and the only reason the Jets are where they are today. Oiler's offence has been lights out while the Jets offence has been less then mediocre. If the Jets offence starts to pick up and Helly keeps playing like he has then they will be a team to reckon with come PO time.

be careful of that in seven ten days their horse and buggy will get here then you be in trouble
How does Canada become "CDN"?
Anyway, Jets aren't that good a team. They're being carried by Hellebuyck's ridiculously high save% on high danger chances. I doubt that can last for an entire season.
Edmonton Oilers are the best Canadian team IMO.

Well you still are waiting on big Buff. Well then maybe Montreal or one of the two of you. I want to say us in confidence but we are running off insanely hot special teams and an insane top line. There is no way that is going to be the case for the entire season. Just going to hope our depth scoring finally kicks in. They got some goals tonight and performed well in Dallas as well so hopefully they actually start to perform for the rest of the season. If we had more offensive depth I would say us no doubt. D Men are coming into form (Bear hopefully shows that EDM can actually develop players) and Goaltending is good but I really worry that we are relying too much on McD and Drai though it is fun to watch.

Agree. If the Jets offence begins to perform like they should then the Jets can be the best Canadian team. Right now they are not and are totally dependant on Helly to win.

Yeah that's okay. At this point I just want to make the playoffs again to be honest.

I think they have such a superb forward group that I was so sure they'd be the best Canadian team. Turns out, I was wrong. They're underperforming badly. Oilers are picking up and I could see either them or Jets being the "best" team this season.

You're talking about Tavares and Marner ? Because Matthews and Nylander never had better PPG
Well.......even if it's a one player team and the team is on top in the standings, it still counts as the better "team".

Probably the oilers but the jets are 7-2-1 in their last ten for those wondering why the jets are being mentioned.

Relax junior, it’s just a post.
In your opinion, that’s still questionable. What’s not questionable is that they are the 2nd most pristigious franchise win lose or draw in Canada and top 6 in world forever.

I mean the Jets have scored 34 goals from their bottom 9 forwards (if we assume Scheif, Wheeler, and Laine are the top line) while the Oilers have scored 28. When your top line has scored 39 goals and combined for 103 points in 23 games then I think you can live with a bit of a drop off in the bottom 9.
