April 16 update below.

My understanding of the draft rules is that as a US college eligible player aged 18, the team holds his draft rights until August 15 after he graduates from college, provided he does not leave school early. If he does, then they hold his rights until June 1, 4 years after his draft year. So the Jets should have his rights until 2026. Different rules than for CHL players (two years) and college players drafted at age 20 (two years).

@FrostyWinnipeg Toronto is also locked into the 3rd spot in the Atlantic 😁

Problem is you put him in today even for 30 seconds and Hellebuyck does not get credit for a shutout.

This is for Helle, but also for LB who I owe it to from Thursday: Jets now 4 goals ahead of Florida (and counting, 2-2 game vs Buffalo in the 2nd) with an extra game to play in the Jennings chase. Sadly, if they pull it off, Brossoit will not get his name on the trophy as he will fall short of the 25 game threshold to qualify.

Took a quick listen to Avs radio. I get not being rah-rah when the visitors score, but even at 1-0 they make it sound like a funeral. At 7-0 they sound like they are prepping for self immolation. And Avs Twitter losing its mind. At least this guy has a sense of humour about it. Wonder how many of those Jets fans who were “so done with this team” two weeks ago are quietly slinking back today? Only downside so far is that Dallas officially clinched top spot in the Central with their win today. Then again, given the season series result, Jets should be fairly happy to draw the Avs in Round 1, which is now a certainty.

Colorado fans not very happy with their squad.

Season high goal total. Not bad for a bunch of frauds.

Make it 6!

And Georgiev gets the hook.

And now 3-0 with 2/2 power play. And before I can even type that it’s 4-0! This is about as perfect a period as you could imagine in Colorado (knock wood)

If: Jets win in regulation, their magic number is 2 Jets win in OT or shootout, their magic number is 3 Avs win in regulation, their magic number is 3 Avs win in extra time, their magic number is 4

No idea how reliable this is, but here it is:

No. First tiebreaker is purely regulation wins, Jets have more than any team in the NHL there with 43 (tied with Carolina). Next adds in OT wins as well, but not shootout wins. The Jets’ total of 49 is second best (tied with the Canes, only one behind the Rangers’ league leading total of 50). Third tiebreaker is total wins (this includes shootout wins as well). Only the Jets, Canucks, Flames, and Devils have yet to win a shootout contest this year.

Today’s update below.

The head-to-head results are actually the 4th tiebreaker. The first is wins in regulation, then regulation and OT wins, then total wins. Jets actually hold the tiebreaker over Dallas, so the Stars need 2 points to clinch first place. Jets are leading Colorado by 2 wins in the first tiebreaker, so there is no mathematical way that the Jets and Avs end up tied in points at the end of the year and the Jets lose the tiebreaker at this point. Tonight’s game is huge for both teams if they want to finish second, but bigger for Colorado not to lose, as they have less room for error in that they have to finish ahead of Winnipeg in points to claim second. Jets get there if they finish tied.

It is only 2 games, but both at home against the Kraken and Blues, so I wouldn’t put money on it happening.

FYI the Riders posted at $10.1 million profit in 2013.

Jets 2 goals ahead of Florida for the Jennings trophy, but with one less game played. Brossoit needs to at least appear in the last 3 games to get to 25 appearances which you need to qualify for the award.

Florida’s back-up just got his 3rd tonight as well. Pretty rare I would guess.

But he did find the real killer, right when he walked past his first mirror. Then he rested easy.
