Waiting while other teams make up games is interesting. Despite our placement in today's standings, I don't hate this. The Jets control their fate.

This figure underscores the value of a win at this point in the year.

Wins at the beginning of the season are worth the same as at the end of the year. Even psychologically it could balance out - more early wins = less stress for (some) fans, more late wins = thinking we're on a roll. More later wins can mean that we've improved, which is nice, but even that could be a mirage. </pedanticrant> :popcorn:

Agree, technically you are absolutely right. :nod:

A win always brings the endorphins, in my case, but nonetheless one can also consider the context of a tight standings race vs. dipping the team's collective toes in the lake, as games at the beginning of the year tend to reflect. Again, IMO.

8-4-1 should put us safely in a playoff spot. Sports club puts the Jets at a 91.5% chance at making the playoffs if we finish 8-4-1. Another big day on the scoreboard with LV at Calgary, Minny at Anaheim and the Blue Jackets at Vancouver.

If our healthy and improved line-up can stay intact and Helly plays until he flops then this is very do-able. Not easy but not impossible.

Something like this...

I disagree. I think we should beat Edm and Dallas and lose to someone ridiculous like Florida.

Need this one. Big 4 point swing game.

So very right -this will be like a playoff game, very fast skating and intense. For the Jets to make the playoffs, they will have to win games like this, and games soon to follow, against teams fighting for this wildcard spot. Good luck to the Jets-"everybody" will be watching.:thumbu:

The good thing about it is the Jets are basically playing playoff hockey now and for the last 13 games . If we make it in we should be ready . :nod:
