The process keeps going, and going, and going...

This thread's changed, say my name, nice! Heisenberg pushs the Ford F150 too.

As long as we keep playing the right way we have two games to figure this out as long as we work hard in practice... put all the cliches together and voila that's what you get.

We do have the opportunity to rest some players so at least we're taking advantage of that. Though Helly might be in. And Holtby too, not Demko. Good that might help team morale out taking shots on somebody not named Demko. C'mon boys, win one for the gipper, err PoMo, or yourselves, or us or a late Mother's Day present for ps241.

The Jets have been hard to watch lately without some help...

 

[macmaroon]

Thanks @SUX2BU for starting the GDT! Now if only the Jets could win a game....

Yes, yes it would... Do you know...

...all this losing! We need it to stop. Are you listening guys?

Well, at least Nate Thompson agrees with me! Go Jets Go!

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Yay, we get to do this all over again tonight!

 

[surixon]

Yay another game and more uninspired play coming right up.

Good thing I still have some beer in the fridge.

When is he going to "feelin' it" in a Jets jersey ?

 

[Jets 31]

Thanks @SUX2BU for the GDT , very good. Me watching the Jets........

 

[CorgisPer60]

Somehow this level of entropy is worse than missing the playoffs all together. All I know is after this season, there had better be changes. Somebody needs to be held accountable for this really poor stretch of games.

 

[Gee Wally]

Thread is ‘live’.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Thread is ‘live’.

Hope the Jets are!

 

[kanadalainen]

Thanks @SUX2BU, noice.

Go go

Do something cool. Find that missing luck.

I don't mind if they play well, but it would be nice to add a W to the column. This team has little confidence and no one is having any fun on the ice. The game becomes a slog.

Win one, and good things will follow.

 

[King Woodballs]

Peggers lol
The jets have been getting pegged pretty good the last month or so

I know that fans want to watch wins, I get that.

However, it's odd that it seems that whether the team is playing well or not is singularly dependent on whether we win or lose.

Especially now, where wins and points mean nothing (and they mean nothing in the players heads for sure) the way the game is played is what really matters. The Jets made a couple of mistakes that ended up in the back of their net, but I thought they played well overall. As frustrated as I was last night that the Jets couldn't find the back of the net they could have easily won that one by 3 goals. That's what encourages me.

For those of you who can't stand the losing and are on the ledge, I recommend skipping the game tonight and playing the reboot of Resident Evil 2. They did a fantastic job on it and it's scary af.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'm having a real hard time working up the interest to even turn the game on tonight.

We're well past the moral victories at this point. Playing well enough to win when you're in the back end of a nine of 10 losing streak means f*** all to me. This team is incredibly snake bit offensively, when they shouldn't be. None of the other playoff teams have an issue scoring goals. There's something fundamentally wrong with this team and its systems where they can't generate more than two goals per game in the last 10 games. Winning or losing is ancillary to that. Score goals before we can talk about winning hockey games. That's all I care about. Prove you can score goals again.

Not trying to be an ass - but just don't turn it on. NHL hockey is supposed to be enjoyable, that is the only purpose it exists for fans. If you don't enjoy it, do something else

 

[WaveRaven]

I never lose interest ever and watch every game to the end.

When they were gone I used to say better 0-82-0 than no team.

There is always something to cheer. Like last night we got to see Heinola .... even on the highlights of Vancouver goals lol

 

[Guardian17]

Thanks for the GDT @SUX2BU !

It's like we follow the same script game after game.




I can't tell if these are preseason or regular season games.

Who the f cares about 'moral victories'? I didn't coin or ever use that phrase, nor do I subscribe to it at all.

Wins at this point are for the fans and the fans only. Yes, it would be nice to win and build that positive feeling. However, whats actually important at this point is how the team is playing, and whether playing that way is likely to lead to winning. The Jets are starting to generate really good looks and significant offensive zone time again. They have for the past few games, not just the last one, and look to be building on it. A lot of the goals against are one off errors that happen within a game, or just poor goaltending. I'm seeing a lot less of the systemic errors leading to goals against. We will never be defensive world beaters but I believe we are markedly improved there, and that's without Pionk.

I would much rather us have this wake up call now and be forced to work hard at our game than coast to the finish line winning a bunch of games we had no business to.

Its a brand new day.....and a brand new bottle....
