With average goaltending in the Jets net, we win this in 6. With average goaltending on both teams, 4 or 5.
Lol, "screw the stats, I'm right"!
Hardly, the eye test showed considerable advantages for the Jets as well. They weren't outplayed by whatever measure you want to use. Vegas worked hard, cashed in at opportune times, with more than a few breaks mixed in and rode a hot goalie.LOL, 'screw the actual hockey game, a few stats say everything about everything that ever happened on the ice, I'm right"!

Not brain surgery, it was pretty obvious. Far more obvious than coaching, that's for sure.
Flip a coin five times. After landing on tails four times out of five, do you then go out and say how tails is by far the more common outcome?How about using the score as the measure - you know, the way professional sports works. They won, we lost. By definition of winning and losing we were outplayed.
My belief is that we were outplayed because our coaching didn't maximize the playing capabilities of our players, while their coaching did. Coaching includes system and player utilization among other things.
I suggest we just agree to disagree and move on. I like you and am looking forward to next year - even with our mediocre but with lots of experience coach.
See this is one fault Maurice has. I heard him say over and over we play out style that's who we are. Guess what ... sometimes when your style is not working you try a different one even if its just for one period. Maybe playing a physical game may have not worked on Vegas but at least you tried something different.Could the Jets have played a more physical game? We played like a bunch of nice, hardworking guys.
How about a huge hit on Marchessault or Karlsson?
I'm not suggesting we go out and hurt a guy, but something could have been done to slow those guys down, or at least get into their heads.
You missed the point big time.There is no correlation between flipping a coin, and the score in a hockey game.

I think you missed his point there, if both goalies play just average, it ends up being a much different series. A big reason we couldn't score was the +.950 guy in their net.You are kidding yourself here... We scored 9 friggin goals in 5 games.. 4 in game 1.. 5 in the 4 other games.. For us to win.. Helle had to shut out Vegas. We couldn't score. That's why we lost.

The thing is, luck and bounces mask an awful lot of mistakes. If we play that series a large number of times, chances are that Fleury does not play beyond Vezina level every time, and thus some of our shortcomings in goalscoring disappear.Oh ok. Thats the point. Ok well that changes everything. Its just some what if fantasy talk.. Or maybe it changes nothing and Its just Vegas turn to win.

If you repeated the series enough times, the Jets would win more often than the Knights. We just got to see the unlikelier outcome take place in real life, as we don't have the option of playing enough games to get justice. That's hardly a reason for overreaction.
