Post-Game Talk: Jets lose crucial game 3-1

[tbcwpg]

Well my eye test/gut isn't feeling 62.5% but I'll take it.

thx

Definitely does not take the "vibes" test into account, but the Jets have an extra game and the tiebreaker so 62% seems reasonable.

So the Jets are still odds on favorite to get swept in the first round and end up with a mid first round pick (from either the US or Europe cuz Jets scouts don’t look for players in that hockey backwater of Canada) who may one day be a solid fourth liner.

Meanwhile, teams who know how to lose properly will end up with Bedard or someone else with first line or top pairing potential .

Jets fans, welcome to the lower middle of the pack for years to come.

Could be worse, they could be like Vancouver! Start out horribly, be out of the playoff picture by November, then win a whole bunch of games and pick 15th.

Jets were first in the conference back in January so it was a good gamble to go for the playoffs this year. If we don't make the playoffs or have a miserable playoffs, I wouldn't expect the Jets to be stuck in the mushy middle for years to come. We have star players that only have one more year of control (Dubois, Schiefele, Hellebuyck). Are any of them extending?

It's quite possible this core is getting dismantled this offseason.

What did I get drag back to watching the Jets ?
Just a pitiful effort Morrissey looked like he was leisure skate carrying the puck on the PP. There was no urgency from the Jets.
Give credit to the Flames. They need this win. Jets relying on the Hawks and lottery teams to finish off the Flames for them to get into playoffs. Typical Jets. Passengers and no one driving the train. Only one with heart was PLD and he likely be gone next year.
Just a Reality check.

I asked a two separate friends of mine who both seemed ok marriages that didn't appear awesome what their secret was. In both cases although worded differently it was "lowered expectations". To be clear neither guy was selling out they were just aligning their expectations to the limited abilities of their spouse.

A solid life lesson I am trying to absorb

An old mentor told me and I love this saying because it can apply to any part of life.

“Expectations are nothing more than premeditated resentments”

We are often so focused on what we want, need or expect.
We are such ego-centric creatures, we must allow for difficult times, differences and chaos.
That why we get disappointed when things don’t go our way because it’s all about us

What the heck is Morrissey supposed to do to Lucic? Get his face caved in?

Josh did the right thing not to mess with that ape, and get his face caved in. Leave the heavy hitters for Ehlers to take care of.

 

[Fatdrunk]

In my opinion, I do not think practice should be optional especially this time of the year. This tells me this team is not taking the prospect of the playoffs seriously at all and rather be golfing. During this off season the core is either dismantled or Chevy goes there is no third option.

 

[JetsFan815]

I just can't take advanced stats seriously as long as they tell me I should build my team around Nic Petan and Marco Dano.

I doubt there is a single person here who has ever argued that the Jets build around Petan/Dano but go off nonetheless.

How's Harrison Blaisdell doing?

 

[GNP]

According to Moneypuck:

WPG 62.5%
CGY 31.8%
NSH 5.8%

I'd say this is about right, all things considered. Lets bear in mind, just one unexpected loss, by either of these top 2 teams completely changes these odds very quickly. Really considering these 2 teams the odds don't mean a lot to me, but I guess right now, they are on our side, if we make these odds work for us.

I wonder what the wives would say? Perhaps their husbands fell far short of their expectations and they decided to settle for just OK in their marriages. A different life lesson for others?

OT--but it's a great little secret for the best of marriages. My wife and I laugh about it all the time... and she's been lowering her expectations for 35 years!

 

[DRW204]

@tbcwpg what were the results on faceoffs won this game?
They lost 3-1 id assume there were like 40% on the draws or something. Way below 50%, must be.

I would say in these two cases that their wives wouldn't have a sniff because its all about them. Now, I do have a line up of buddies where their wives would absolutely have to lower their expectations.

I wouldn't bother asking my friends who are the high maintenance dates in their marriages how they pull it off since its not really something to model.

It might surprise you, it definitely surprised me, to know that the Jets were 54% in the faceoff dot! Losing with an above 50% FO rate must be pretty rare so maybe we just chalk this up to a fluke result.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

I'm still salty this morning. 88 and 55 were standout bad last night.

I liked 80 overall, and Connor scored but was pretty awful besides that.

Looks like Ehlers is almost back to normal which is exciting.

We have no shot unless 55 and 81 wake tf up

Couldn't agree more!

does anyone know the average survival rate or outcome of NHL' s top ten draft pick's rated annually over that past ten years....... just how reliable is the draft?

it's optional mostly because of the boo-boo's, so many fan's seem to neglect this fact especially at this time of the year.

 

[Slimy Sculpin]

I don't think the discussion around trading Dubois is because we want him moved due to his on-ice play, more that it seems inevitable he's not playing anywhere but Montreal starting in 2024.

I'm not convinced that it's inevitable. Trade 55 for a decent haul and try selling 80 on being the "Big Guy" here. Aren't his dad, mom and younger sister living in Winnipeg, another selling feature?

I'm convinced this team has fewer than 10 real, full on practices per year. It's pathetic. But something something travel, something something union mandated week off.

yeah ok, except the next best canadian picked has seldom worked out better

In 2023 drafting players based on country of birth over BPA is about the most ridiculous suggestion ever.

dang
we must be the most flukiest team ever with 24 wins when under 50% on the dot

Well that’s ridiculously silly honestly.

 

[DRW204]

Yeah they control their own destiny but I haven't seen anything from this team in the last couple of moblnths to suggest they're mentally capable of bouncing back.

perhaps.
however, if the Flames on a b2b after a pretty embarassing L to the lowly blackhawks can muster up a W i think we can too.
