The Jets are, simply put, frauds. A true regular season team.
Bones has them playing great, structured hockey in the regular season and they give'r most nights. They get a lotta points when teams otherwise DGAF. The thing is come playoff time they just don't have the horses. They're already playing their best and don't have that extra gear.
Guys like Scheifele and Ehlers and Monahan just aren't gamers. You're not gunna win when your 3C is your best forward. On D every single player except Morissey is playing one spot higher on the depth chart than they should be for an alleged contender.
In net, Hellebuyck just ain't a playoff guy. I got raked over the coals for calling it a month ago. Brossoit looked just as good in the regular season, and come playoff time the team couldn't hold on.
