The Winnipeg Jets look.. bad

laine vs horvat

 

[Canada Drai]

They probably taste bad too. Unless you're a cannibal.

Losing after being up 4-1 on the Oilers. That's futile.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Side note: After playing 6 games, we currently sit 3 points behind Nashville for top spot in the central. Has a team ever been able to overcome such a deficit with only 76 games to play?

No.

 

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

Jets fans have a reason to be a bit disappointed in the way the team has performed. Outsiders don’t need to worry so much. What will matter is where the team sits when the Americans cook their turkeys.

4-2-1 let's hope they can turn it around soon.

 

[MardyBum]

We were ass to start the year last year as well and we know how that went.

 

[Lukin1978]

4-2-1 let's hope they can turn it around soon.

Well they should be 7-0-0 so there is room for improvement

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

4-2-1 let's hope they can turn it around soon.

Maybe it was a thinly veiled jinx thread all along.

 

[Derfel]

So... not so much now.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

So... not so much now.

Until the next loss.

 

[Derfel]

Until the next loss.

As it has always been.

Laine looked 100 times better last night than he did against the Oil. There is two Laines, the floater who doesnt give a shit and a confident dangle sniper, its a flip of the coin which you will get on any given night.

Sounds like a great attitude to have.

It is what it is. Once he irons out his inconsistencies, he will be unstoppable.

Very VERY true. I hate to say it but it really is a tale of two players. He can take over a game some nights, and on others, the puck dies on his stick. I lose my mind every time he loses the puck in the corners because he looks like he just didn't care. Then there's other nights where he dangles around a team and pops it top corner.


I don't know how often the Jets, or any team does this, but I would like to know how involved sports psychologists are in pro sports. To me, a person like that is just as important as any other part of the medical staff/trainers.

Jets are ahead of last year's pace.

Leafs are behind last year's pace.

Thats an interesting angle. Laine is clearly confident and outgoing in his speech, but he has takes his every game very personally. If he is hot he can build off that confidence for weeks, unfortunately the needle can swing the other way.

The third period was the welcome back period.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

If the Jets look bad. I can't wait to see them when they are mediocre. 4-2-1 start can only get better once they start looking average.

 

[tntkid]

The Leafs just got shutout by the Penguins last night so that means they will miss the playoffs this year.

Am I doing it right.
lol

 

[howkie]

Leaf-fans should worry norr about kadri being -1 after 8 games......
Impressive for the best shutdown 30_30 guy in NHL. When I say -1 I dont mean +/-....

 

[sawchuk1971]

I think Hellesuck is a sieve, sorry guys.

fixed....

 

[GoJetsGo55]

I think Hellebuyck is a sieve, sorry guys.

In my head:
"Come on, this is clearly bait."
"He's just looking for a reaction....just let him be and he loses."
"You're better than this and you know it...don't stoop to his level."


ARE YOU MAD THAT HELLE HAS MORE PLAYOFF GAMES UNDER HIS BELT IN ONE SEASON THAN EDMONTON HAS IN 12.


"Dang it!"

 

[Whileee]

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.

This is a completely false narrative about the Jets. Last season they were among the top teams in the NHL at preventing high danger shots against. Defensive play was one of their strengths.

Last season they had a slower start than this season and ended up with 52 wins and 114 points. They have room to improve, but these false narratives suggest that some posters have no clue about the Jets.
