Hearing McKinnon and Makar not suiting up for the Avs, probably maintenance at this stage of the season but imagine playing the Avs without those two in the lineup? Finishing second wouldn’t be as bad.

Right but we have also other player (s) (D and O) play good defense that have helped us win games suggesting the statement we mainly rely on Helle for defense is a bit flawed.

Sure but 1 of 6 defensemen not to mention the fact of our forwards (trying to) executing their defensive assignments?

That statement always fascinates me when it comes to being a coach and having to make in-game decisions, i.e., it's not working because the player (s) aren't executing their assignments effectively or it's not working because the Defense is effectively shutting us down so we need to adjust?

FAFO Ford?

Lifted from the hockey writers: 'However, the Jets are not a balanced team. They mainly rely on Hellebuyck’s top-level goaltending as their defense'. Fair assessment? I would think our D offers up some level of resistance to assist Helle? Jeebus.

Free Streveler. Great name to put on the title page of his O playbook.

Lol third goal by KC, Dallas fan gives him the finger while celebrating against the glass. Should have got the puck flipped it over the glass for him. Here you go sir, have a great night. 🙂

Old as dirt = Wisdom.

Whoever understands this title is as old as dirt. 🙂 Go Jets Go!

Whenever I get frustrated and/or disappointed in our Jets/Bombers, I’m going to refer back to this post.

One would think they’re going to come out pretty hard on us tomorrow to atone for that collapse. Hope we make them feel worse about themselves even more.

I heard they were from Kelowna and Kelowna West.

Need to burst this blue bubble. Will be a good test with a very hot team.

This game is quickly going to get out of hand if we don’t score the next goal.

Helle’s left pad keeps it 1-0. Not the best period I’ve seen Samberg play. Wipe this period away, get back to Jet hockey.

The amount of give aways in succession not looking like our usual Jet hockey. Yikes.

Imo 1st place is a nice to have not a must have. I’d rather us get all our guys as close to 100% heading into the first game of post season. Ideally having both (securing 1st place and being healthy and ready to go) would be ideal.

Yup that’s why if he needs maintenance to get closer to 100% rest him as much as possible to be ready for post season play.

Some. And we all are on occasion at varying levels (no one has a halo over their head) but some are more consistent with their awful behaviours.

I like it. Just put the word some in front of men and you got yourself a deal.

Can we change the title of this thread? Cuz this type of stuff ain't every going to end unless we 100% get at the root causes.

Nice to see EC get the shut out. If CH continues his struggles in the playoffs ( a BIG hope not), wonder if EC gets a look? Probably not and hopefully it never comes to having this discussion.

McGroarty who? Never heard of him.

Finishing first, home ice advantage with an ideal first round match-up is great but EOD as long as they're ready to go, prepped and focused come play-off time I'm less concerned with winning the remaining seven games and more focused on what they need to tinker with to get ready (PP, PK, Faceoffs, gearing up for a physical grind etc etc). Obviously if they lose out the remaining games in convincing ways this less concern becomes great concern.
