I hope fancy stats don't turn hockey into baseball.

my Awesome Thought For the Day:

wouldn't it be awesome if they could hook up a snow machine from the rafters and have is lightly snowing IN the arena before the puck drops?

Pass around what you are smoking it is obviously better than what I have.

 

[HPsauce]

OMG WHO ELSE IS GOING ****IN NUTS RIGHT NOW. I'M DYING A BIT INSIDE EVERY MOMENT THAT GOES BY.

Ok, drop the puck already...

Agreed!

Literally so damn excited. I'm pretty sure I won't sleep much tonight and it won't even matter.

Feels like the night before Christmas... And I'm a grown man!

GO JETS GO!

"From the very first conversation I had with Kevin, exactly what he said is exactly what's happened," Maurice said. "He's never wavered from it. Ever. He said, 'I want you to come in, put some structure into this team and we need to see what we have in terms of veterans.'

Maurice eager to meet playoff expectations with Jets

Warning Damien Cox was part of the panel on HCAN today

Chevy's been hanging around Buff alot i see , you know .

Everybody wear white tonight!

Like I said in a different thread a while back when someone was pumping him as some knowledgeable dude, Edmunds is an idiot.

I am hoping Beyak comes back for 1290 in the playoffs?

Baseball is unique as it is a sport built around individual performances. Hockey (and most other team sports) are built around the interaction between players. For this reason hockey analytics hasn't drawn much influence from baseball. Per Micah McCurdy, hockey analytics has been most influenced by the basketball statistical community.

Do the Jets normally wear white helmets at practice prior to home games? Interesting.

It could certainly just be a coincidence, but the Wild are wearing green helmets at practice this week. They wore white before their last games on the west coast.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

I wonder if the jets are going to be wearing white tomorrow..

So the implication is that our Jets will be dressed in white tomorrow evening? Wouldn't the Wild have to approve that change in protocol? If so, do you think they would considering that it would probably give our fans and indirectly our players an extra boost of energy?

I think the NHL lets the home team pick what jersey they want to wear, but you have to stick with it for the whole playoffs.

I remember the Sharks choosing black, which meant they could not wear teal at home.

I am so pumped OUR Jets are here!!! I have been waiting for this moment for like....2 hours (since the bandwagon draft) lol!!!

Honestly happy to be a board, Jets are honestly one of my favorite teams and have been for some time...you guys have obviously had a good record with ex Hawks players so I have always followed closely, and your frequency with drafting top young Americans hasn't gone unnoticed for me! Connor has been my boy for years!!

So bottom line is with my Hawks shitting the bed, I am on the Jets bandwagon - I will overvalue all our players, I will talk out my ass most games to the opposition, and I will make sure to include something Maple Leafs in a third of my rants!!! LOL!!

But I will be an active and semi intelligent poster that I can promise!! Now lets go beat the Avalanche!!!!! errr....who we playing again??? LOL J/K!!

how was Trouba playing in his game back? everyone think he is ready to roll and eat up some big minutes?

good to hear!
he is a tough SOB, hope he is ready to go!! Trouba was bred for playoff hockey lol!

 

[SensibleGuy]

Trouba is ready. So is Morrissey. Buff will smash! Helly looks cool as a cucumber.

As we head into game 1 of the series, Frenchie and Laine have been pretty cool, so I expect them to get cooking now just at the right time!

 

[Eyeseeing]

Everybody wear white tonight!

Everyone Wang Chung tonight

 

[Hobble]

Is there seriously a chance that the Jets will wear white at home? I would freaking lose it!!!

Also, this is the slowest week I have ever lived.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Pass around what you are smoking it is obviously better than what I have.

Or 20-30 old guys with bad dandruff

 

[Aavco Cup]

Someone should start a “Sportsnet Sucks” chant at the game

 

[Board Bard]

One guy will try to start it and 15,000 people will yell "We know!"

 

[Jets 31]

All i can say is if the Jets came out in the Heritage jerseys , it would be very expensive for True North because Bell MTS place would need a new roof . I'd lose my shit if this happened .

 

[King Woodballs]

I hope fancy stats don't turn hockey into baseball.

Too late
