Jets are overrated

Knee jerk reaction threads are fun.

The Jets aren't overrated as a team. They are quiet good.

However Hellebuyck and Laine are. They overpaid Helle already. Hopefully they don't do the same with Laine.

We've been on autopilot all year. Playing good enough to win usually but never really playing hard unless we're playing top competition.
We don't look as good to the eye, but we're on pace for pretty much the same points as last year.

They are just trying to hurt the Avs pick odds by losing to us, and Ottawa twice.

The biggest tell tale sign of a team being good, is when its universally accepted that they arn’t playing well, yet when you look at the standings you see them in the top 5 in the entire league.

As a life long Jets fan, all I have to do is think back to how far we have come since our first few seasons, and it puts a smile on my face. First world problems I suppose

 

[Flair Hay]

They better get him soon, before Eugene gets another loan out and is able to sign him.

If Stone wanted to be there, he would have signed already. From how I understand it, he loves the city and the fans there, but knows the team is a shit show and ain't coming back.

The Jets are currently in 1st place in the Central without even playing well.

I like that they will be taken lightly come playoff time because they lost to non playoff teams and are considered overrated.

The Jets just need to play the blues to get Mr. Knight of fort going.

Yes, the Jets will be playing HF in the first round of the playoffs

Well done

Only thing I'm worried why has not Laine already moved from Fortnite to Aphex Legends

 

[Digital Kid]

Jets have a ton of injuries right now to starters. I would trade Laine straight up for a Mark Stone who has signed a 5-year extension. The writing was on the wall for Hellebuyck in pre-season when he commented more than anyone on the equipment adjustments - might be a psychological thing there about getting hurt every shot...

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Can’t blame him it’s a shit show here.

 

[SUX2BU]

Two straight losses to the worst team in the league. Embarrassed in one 5-2 then outplayed and out shot in the second game. Is something wrong in Winnipeg?

No

 

[kylbaz]

While the Jets have a few superstars, I think they lack that truly elite player

This is so stupid.

The scary thing is Jets have looked mediocre this year and are still among the top in the league in points.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

The team will be judged by the outcome this spring.
What we do in February is pretty inconsequential.

We hope Chevy makes the right move(s) for long term success and that the team proves that they have another gear to them.
A smart acquisition, a slight increase in quality of play and a Laine sighting and this team would be very difficult to contend with in the playoffs.

 

[Trinity]

Winnipeg's center depth is one of the worst in the league and their defense isn't anything special. Yeah they are a bit overrated.

Scheifele, Little, Lowry is pretty legit.

 

[Trinity]

Thread title should read: Jets are bored

This is true. They seem to be able to turn it on whenever they fee like it. It's frustrating that they often don't feel like it but come playoff time, you can guarantee they'll be motivated.

 

[Trinity]

You aren't winning with Helleybuk in net, he's not good enough.

Earlier this season I would have agreed with this. But recently he's been great.

 

[OVO16]

1st rd exit imo

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Earlier this season I would have agreed with this. But recently he's been great.

He was terrible against the Avalanche, just awful.

Except it isn't. They've looked bad for 2 months now. The numbers back it up. They really aren't that good.

But this is a team that can turn it around.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Trap game(s).

They lost against the Habs too just before, they were so bad.

Very much agreed. The effort level is consistently shit against basement teams, but we've played some great hockey games against teams like Nashville and Tampa.

 

[Robinson2187]

This does not matter because I've read plenty of Jets fans say that they don't need Laine to be successful, he's just a bonus.

If the Jets were so inclined, they could trade Laine tomorrow and be a much better team overall with the return. Of course that won't happen.
