Our team has taken a step up from last season.

We have legit options in our pipeline on the back end. By the end of this season and heading into the playoffs our D core may be deep even if we are missing high end talent.

Between Copp, Stats, and soon to be PLD our 1st and 2nd line have added defense, possession, speed, and not compromised skill. Much more balanced team with 7 legit top 6 assets.

Even this pessimist ( realist lol ) is actually starting to see a direction and getting excited.

this team with heinola, samburg, Stanley, vesa, Gus, perfetti all on elcs right up to the end of wheelers contract is going to be deadly

To me I see a plan. Which is something I haven’t been able to see consistent

Go jets go

The fact our offence and goalie was able to drag that sorry sack group of defensemen from last year into the playoffs is great news. With our defence much better this year and full of legit options in the pipeline, we’ll be back to the 17-18 level again soon.

It's a 3 year window (at least) as long as PLD is under control. Very exciting.

The sky's the limit IMO.

Jets virtually (hair difference only) on par with the Habs on % of points earned.......not bad, not bad.

3) Habs 64.3%

4) Oilers 56.3%

5) Flames 54.2%

[Jets 31]

Still say the Jets are going to finish 1st in the division.

 

[kanadalainen]

Helly's play is really picking up to where it was last year. This is nothing but good news for our shot at the playoffs.

Positivity thought. Boy do I like Pionk. Compared to Trouba so far this season, ice time basically the same, 10 points vs 2 points, +/- +4 vs 0, $3,000,000 vs. $8,000,000. Smooth skating and smart with the puck, and always gets a lot of nice tippable shots through to the net. That goal last night was so nice, great to see.

I didn’t like much about Trouba. He somehow made morrisey a better player though

Agree, that’s the only thing I liked about him. Morrissey seems kind of lost without him, and vice versa.

But yet it seems like we have a guide in Heinola if mo played him.

I would also add that Pionk seems like an intelligent individual...

Yes he really does, seems like a genuine likeable guy. Far from Trouba’s primadonna attitude.

That be nice Jets 31 - that would warm me up a bit.

 

[Hunter368]

2nd OA in the North based on % of points won!

 

[Channelcat]

Adam Lowry has been fantastic, and on pace for a career season.....by miles. It's a contract year of course

 

[Krauser]

2nd OA in the North based on % of points won!

2nd in the division by points percentage, and 2nd by goal differential.

8th in the league by points percentage, and 6th by goal differential.

 

[Buffdog]

I'm optimistic, but cautiously so. We've made some decent hay vs teams below us in the standings but have lots of games vs Toronto and Montreal coming up.

Defense and special teams worry me

Agreed, but the key is winning the games we should win and winning hopefully at least 50% of the rest. Leafs are the best team in the north by a wide margin, then it's Habs/Jets/Oilers. Habs are going to be a good test and hard series.

I am enjoying the season. Canadian division rules! Another team in the east would balance everything. Or add two in the east and a team of hillbillies in banjoland would be the greatest thing ever!

I could see him wearing an A for us...

6th OA in the NHL

I like Transcona as much as the next person so that's a bit crass, but I'm not sure that they could support their own team. The pink jerseys, and 'Mingo nickname would be all-time, mind you.
