If they've been shitty for half the year it can't be considered a choke when educated fans know they'll continue to shit the bed.

I think this is the 11th time the Jets have lost this season leading into the third. So no, you can't count with two hands. Unless you're Amish.

It's almost like anyone with a shred of wisdom was trying to say that the Blues weren't playing that bad and the 2-0 score (and concomitant % chance to win) didn't reflect the % of the play that each team carried. But I'm looking forward to seeing you here tomorrow. And if you win in 6, you'll have earned your chirps.

Because instead of losing the game in literal overtime, we lost it in practical overtime. Because somehow, in an evenly played game that's tied late in a 2-2 series that's been evenly played that was so close that bookies literally couldn't reach a consensus on a favorite, the mathematical fact that SOMEONE has to be up 3-2 after five games means we've choked. Because our two late blown third period leads mean that much more than St. Louis's two late blown third period leads.

I hope the Jets players don't share your thoughts on the matter, or it truly would be. The reality is, every game except game 4 has been a one goal game, and I feel like the Jets are the better team overall, but lack the consistency in their effort. That's something they can do something about if they want to. The Blues can't just magically become more skilled players.

Your observation being 100% accurate aside, I believe I did use the qualifier ".. with a shred of wisdom"
From being down the whole game since 12 seconds in, to winning it with 15 seconds left. What a turnaround.

Jets can still win but this has to be a pretty demoralizing loss, especially since it sort of encapsulates their biggest problem in the regular season. I’ll be very impressed if they can pull this off.

The Jets are better on paper yes but hockey isn't played on player. Their goalie isn't built for the playoffs, their #1D is just waiting for the season to finish so he can go back to the US, while other top line players are soft as butter. Add to that the most average coach in the league.

I don't like parroting the words of players who just got knocked out in 4 games, but as Crosby said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "we just have to take it one game at a time".
Win the next one, then worry about game 7 on home ice.

Just watched the GWG, WTF was Trouba doing on that play?
Looks like he's checking out someone in the stands and then is too late to cover his man in front, brutal

GG to you too. Even though today I am on the donkey end of it, I think we'd both agree that this game had absolutely 100% of the dramatics and action that make pro sports worth watching. As I like to say, this is a game I wish I had money on, even if I had lost.

I can't really comment on what Trouba was thinking at the time, but he's still a RFA for one more year. He's a Jet next season unless we trade him.
