The Winnipeg Jets look.. bad

[PhilJets]

They have some of the best depth in the league and it's a small sample size. There's very little to be worried about right now if you're a Jets fan.

If they're still like this by game 20, then it's time to start panicking.

Hoping the Jets coach read your post.

 

[MessierII]

They’ll get going and be fine. Slim margins in the NHL these days. It’s super early.

 

[loyaltotheend]

Dear Jets,
please get it together, you're killing my fantasy team right now.

All jokes aside, I suspect they will be fine. Way too early to panic

Still tired from the Vegas series

Take Italy in real football (soccer), everytime they won the World Cup they have more or less looked bad in the begining. You dont win the cup by beeing the best team in the first 20% of a season/tournament, you just need to be "good enough". If they still have trouble around game 15-20 yeah, that would make me start to worry. As long Jets hover over 50% Im ok.

I think Hellebuyck is a sieve, sorry guys.

 

[habdynasty]

82 game schedule, there will ups and downs lol.

Knee jerk reaction threads are the best.

I think it's far too early to be suggesting there's problems in Winnipeg. Some teams have come out hot from the gate while others have been slower. The NHL season is a marathon not a race and I would bet that Winnipeg will be close to the top of the league by the end of the year.

I agree, they had a slow start last year too (including that Leafs blowout). To me this doesn't change anything, they're still a top team in the league.

So why bring Leafs and into it? Obviously you can have a reasonable conversation and yet you're bring the Leafs into a conversation that has nothing to do with them.

It was a joke given most Jets GDTs becomes a Laine v Matthews pissing match.

Sorry. Perhaps I'm being a little too sensitive these days due to all the crap surrounding the Leafs on the main board.

I was actually stunned when Dallas trounced them early on, especially since Dallas has more or less **** the bed ever since that game. Winnipeg usually has their number, but they're off to a slow start it seems.

All good, don't blame you. Leafs went from Grabovski and Bozak to Matthews and Tavares yet the hate remains unchanged.

Back to the Jets...still think Laine can score 50.

Watching the game yesterday, they played really well and thought Morrissey did a good job shutting down McDavid. They just seemed to let go which you don't do when McDavid is on the team.

Helly propped them up last year and unfortunately that just means a longer leash for the coaching clown show of Maurice, Huddy, Flaherty

Yep. Usually such miracle runs do more harm than good. Now Maurice probably has 2-3 more years of leeway to waste the primes of a fantastic group of players.

Remember kids... it’s not how you start that matters, it’s how you finish.

 

[joestevens29]

I'm not sold on Helleybuck. With that being said they still have a real good team in front of him and all it will take is for him to get hot at the right time.

They could also be one of those teams that seeds low in the playoffs, but is a threat to beat the higher seed.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

3 wins 2 losses 1 OTL. I hate to see what happens if they start playing any where near decent

 

[LeafFever]

honestly they depend on their goaltending heavily as do the leafs. its the run and gun style. it works great if you have the puck. ala penguins. but if you dont get the goaltending it can be a disaster. live and die by the goalie.

Leafs Record:
6-1-0

Leafs combined save % (Andersen+Sparks)
.897 %

Leafs are winning in spite of their goalies.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Beginning of a downfall in October . Please.

 

[Heldig]

I did. I've said it for a couple of months. Two teams I can see have issues this year are the jets and Bruins.

What is your rationale? What do you see that ALL of the pundits dont see?

 

[RandomJetsFan]

Meh nothing to worry about slow start is all it is and just add buff
