Slegr Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Those Jets have flown under the radar long enough. They are the best in the west. How can this be, with their line up? It’s a well balanced team, from the looks of it. Facing them in the playoffs might not be as fun as it was in the early 90s, as they have us beat in a couple of key stats: - Players under six feet tall = 1 for the Jets, six for Canucks. - Canadian players = 10 for the Jets, 4 for Canucks.

We know how to beat them up. Hopefully they take out Vegas and or LA and we take out Edmonton first, then we. take Winterpeg on our way to playing the Leafs for the Cup. All canadian!

JeremyCuddles Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We do be riding with a lot of shorter folks. We are a weird team. Soucy, Demko, Joshua, Mikheyev, Zadorov and Myers are 6'3 or taller. So our team is torn between a good amount of short guys and a good amount of bigger guys. With that said, I dunno if you know this. But we are also a pretty darn good team this year. So I don't think things are going too bad for us given the differences between the rosters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After every year that the Leafs make it past the 1st round or most recently, the 2nd round, how do people still think they can make it to the finals.

When you look at CapFriendly they figured out a way. Two hip replacement guys will be available in the playoffs, with no cap issue. They are winning games without them, and without the goalie right now.. Remember when Demmers came back? I think they can go deep this year before the CAP blowes them to smithereens this summer.

I gave you the timelines for them coming back! April and June. When do playoffs start? Not to mention hip replacements have come along way in 2 years and I am sure they got the best treatments. They are just sitting pretty practicing in some rink in Bali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusk Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 With alll the winterpeg vancouver games scheduled so late, Tocc can pick and choose where Jets actually end up in standings. IE, playing for practice or play for a win. Winterpeg doesnt do the 3D chess thing they will just give us their whole storyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Well-balanced dominant teams remind me of Vegas. Very well built for the playoffs, I'd guess, though Vegas has an incredible team-defense mentality that really puts them over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 "The best" will be determined at the end of the year, when the cup is awarded. Until then, everyone's vying to be the best. Survival of the fittest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Jets are a very well built team. Not a single player making over $7.2M until next year when their top paid guy will only be at $8.5M. 1st in the league for a reason. Depth (not top heavy at all). They're gonna be a tough team to beat. To think their top player isn't even playing right now in Kyle Connor. What's his status anyways? If he's back for the playoffs, look out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I mean, the bones of a good team were always there, they've been a little disappointing the past couple seasons but they've also only missed the playoffs once since 17-18 and they're on track to make it again. Jets have been good enough to make the playoffs for a while, it's the playoffs that they've struggled with, but they've been good enough to be in the mix. Could be the year they go deep again, they may have done more last season if they hadn't run into Vegas in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Personally I don't mind the Jets. They really don't have much else going for them with that city, so a deep playoff run for them would be nice for them. Well, until they meet the Canucks anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'm glad they're doing well. They'd be who I want to see win if the Canucks don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
