Lots of talk suggesting the Jets begin resting players. I posted this in another thread, but took enough time composing it I felt it deserved its own.
For those that haven't looked closely at the remaining schedule now your chance:
Our strategy heading home regarding rest is clouded as long as we have a shot at first.
We're 5 points back & here's the schedules:
Winnipeg.......................................................................................Nashville..............................................................................
Tuesday, March 27 Boston (104) (22-10-5)................Tuesday, March 27 Minnesota (93) (17-18-1)
Thursday, March 29 @Chicago (71) (17-17-4)...........Thursday, March 29 San Jose (95) (19-12-6)
Saturday, March 31 @Toronto (97) (26-8-2).............Saturday, March 31 Buffalo (58) (12-17-7)
Monday, April 2 @Ottawa (63) (15-17-6).....................Sunday, April 1 @Tampa Bay (106) (27-8-2)
Tuesday, April 3 @Montreal (66) (17-13-8).................Tuesday, April 3 @Florida (83) (15-17-4)
Thursday, April 5 Calgary (80) (20-13-6).....................Thursday, April 5 @Washington (95) (18-15-5)
Saturday, April 7 Chicago (71) (14-19-5)......................Saturday, April 7 Columbus (89) (17-17-3)
Data in first brackets is current points
Data in second brackets is opposing teams record, home or away as it applies
If we can beat Boston tomorrow & Minnesota can beat Nashville in regulation I'd say we have a real shot at the top seed.
Following Tuesday games, Nashville could easily go 3-3 to finish & Winnipeg could go 4-2 resulting in the teams separated by a single point, making last night win in OT tough to swallow, but if Jets can make up that extra point we've got more wins in regulation.
Let's also remember the Jets history of late season winning streaks & Nashville's current slide.
