Post-Game Talk: Let's go Broncos (and Jets) Jets win 4-1

[Mortimer Snerd]

Nice regular season. That was a real nice tribute that both teams put on for the Broncos.

Now bring on the playoffs.

I liked the gesture of all wearing Broncos name on the jerseys. It can't undo what happened but it was touching. We can hope that these things bring at least a little comfort to the families and friends of the dead and injured.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

We won our 3rd 4th & 5th games of the season

So it happened after our 4th game then.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

That Goal Differential!

You should have snipped one more row. Toronto +45. Pretty sharp division separating the top 4 teams in the league.

 

[Aavco Cup]

So it happened after our 4th game then.

Yes. The angst was because of the 0-2 start. We never had any trouble winning three in a row.

Hey Mortimer, I swear I’m not stalking you

 

[JetsFan815]

Those last 5 games felt like they were just going thru the motions.

AND IT FELT AMAZING, PERVERTED EVEN!
(This is a call out to Avgard aka The Hockey Professor aka Sir Avgard aka That dude who always made you take a second look aka Avante-garde hockey mind)

The Jets make the playoffs after the hockey professor graces this board with his presence. Kyle Connor becomes a 1st line player after being called out by the professor. Coincidence? I think not.

Nice to finish off the season with a convincing adjCF and xGF win - and a straight-up scorsi win, to boot.

Here's the final CF/xGF Win-Loss record for the season:

	GP	W	L	OT	Pts%	GF	GA	Diff
adjCF% > 50	51	38	8	5	.794	184	111	+73
xGF% > 50	46	36	7	3	.815	168	94	+74
adjCF% < 50	31	14	12	5	.532	92	106	-14
xGF% < 50	36	16	13	7	.542	108	123	-15

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

The Jets won the adjCorsi battle 62.2% of the time this year, and the xGF battle in 56.1% of their games.

OK, I'm back from the game and I'm not going to hunt through pages and pages of GDT and post game talk to see if this was already discussed but...

That was not an NHL hockey game. That was a ****ing pick-up game between buds that I wasted $300 on. I've seen more intensity in a training camp scrimmage. And yeah, I get why they did it. When tragedy strikes, we're all on the same team. We are all Humboldt. But the complete lack of compete from both sides was just a waste of time to me. It was like watching an all-star game without all-stars. Few hits, mostly of the harmless variety. Martinsen maybe didn't get the memo and had to be reminded on the bench, hey we're not doing that tonight. Board battles were non-existent. The pinnacle had to be when Kane give a little poke at Bucky when he covered up a puck. In a real game, a melee would have ensued. Here, a little push from didn't catch the number but I think his name was Broncos, a little love bump in passing from Buff. I guess I should have seen it coming when they said during the pre-game that tonight, we're not playing for the crest on the front of the jersey but the name on the back (Broncos).

Like was the entire NHL like that tonight, or was the Chinnipeg BlackJets scrimmage out of the ordinary? I'll bet the Avs and Blues played a real hockey game.

What did you expect given the standings situation and what happened in Saskatchewan? Seriously give your head a shake.

114 points and you bitch about this....

unreal..

 

[howkie]

Is it time somone collects all the trade propsols from the begining of the season, where posters from Montreal and other places, said we need to give up half our team for a goalie?

Should be a giggleparty :p

Wait, you went to game 82 between a team cemented in a playoff slot and an also-ran and you actually expected something different? That's kinda amusing...

 

[Whileee]

Up here in Winterpeg, we know the longer you leave the engine off, the less likely it is to start up again.

Speak for yourself...

Seriously what did you expect?
I don't know how the players even played?
I had a hard time watching the game ... all I could think about was those kids who lost their lives in the bus crash. Every single hockey player rode on one of those buses so I can guarantee you it effected every single player.

 

[raideralex99]

We currently have one more ROW and one more in goal differential. Season series is tied.

Obviously if Boston doesn’t win we finish ahead of them.

If Boston wins in a SO we would place ahead of them. (ROW tiebreaker)

If Boston wins in OT we would be tied in every way (not sure how they break it. Coin toss?)

If Boston wins by 1 in regulation same scenario as above.

If Boston wins in regulation by 2 or more they would get 2nd overall

If you ask me I think its a dumb tie breaker rule.
Most wins should count first
Jets ........... 52 Wins
Boston ..... 50 Wins
If both team have the same amount of wins then it should go to ROW

 

[Whileee]

The Jets really haven't been hitting since after the Nashville game. Seems like everyone has been on cruise control since then since neither the Jets nor the teams they have played against since that game have had anything to play for.

Jets have done fine down the stretch...

[Maukkis]

A casual 27-point improvement from last year.

What a year it has been.

 

[snowkiddin]

I love Patrick Sharp but Paul Romanek wouldn’t shut up about him all game.

 

[Peggy]

so are the jets locked in for 2nd in the league with that win?

even if the Bruins win tomorrow the jets will have more wins

 

[YWGinYYZ]

There are discussions about this one or two pages back, plus in the around the League thread. It's not that simple. It's possible for them to actually tie (on all tie breakers) if the Bruins win clean, and only by one goal.

 

[purdy44]

The Jets finish 2nd overall! 2nd in the division, conference and league!

****ing insane. Is this what fans of the Yankees and Patriots feel like after yet another successful regular season?

Patriots and Yankees fan here, can confirm.

 

[Neuf]

Jets score and everyone cheers
" Look at them, clapping for Patrick Sharp"

Jets fans do Broncos chant
" Listen to them, cheering on Sharp"

Jets finish a historic season and playoffs start next week
" And they are on their feet, for Patrick Sharp"

It was all a ploy by Winnipeg to get injuries down before the playoffs.

If I’m not mistaken the goal differential for
the Jets is also improved by the Shootout record. Our 4-2 record gives us a plus 2 in the standings getting us to a gd of +61. Bruins have to win by 3 to tie us as their SO record is 3-3 and they sit at +58 now. That bump from the shootout record implies to me the total wins don’t matter after RO wins. We just get an extra +2 towards that tiebreaker

What a unbelievable and fun year boys and girls , still a little bit in shock at what has happened this season . To me we have 2 MVP'S and alot of others that had great years . Helly stepping in after the horrible start of our would be starting goalie was the first huge turning point of the year . The second was how Wheeler stepped up for the team when Scheif went down . Our GDT'S were awesome all year , Zhamnov and Mud , just a fantastic job . Again it's been alot of fun all season guys , NOW LETS GO KICK SOME PLAYOFF ASS !!!! GO JETS GO !!!!!
