February 21Feb 21 comment_746277 Great research. Thanks for that. Of course, we're all waiting to see what the Jets do in the playoffs. Will they have a deep run or be blown out in 5 or 6 games in the first round?Ā

Despite their flaws, Jets have had some brutal first round pairings the last few years (St. Louis who were on a heater and won the Cup, Edmonton who we swept, Vegas who won the Cup, and our reward for a 110 point season last year was playing the 106 point Avs who were two years removed from winning the Cup). Ā No one seems to factor that in when considering our ouster each year. Hopefully we see Vancouver, Calgary, or even Minnesota in round one this year.Ā
February 21Feb 21 comment_746353 Wow.. nice work @FrostyWinnipeg. although I will agree with the thread title.Ā Way to Early.Ā Jets need to win and win consistently.Ā We can revisit this topic after Mid March Ā

February 22Feb 22 comment_746362 I was actually thinking about this recently during the break and I wondered what a realistic magic number would be to win the west (don't care about the presidents trophy... in fact, I'd rather the Jets not win that)... I kind of settled on 16 wins... though 2 extra points would be useful... so something like 16-8-2 in the final 26... With that record, I believe Dallas, Edm, or Vegas would have to go 22-5 or 22-4 (depending on how many games they have left) to knock the Jets out of first... while it's not impossible for team to get super hot... it seems unlikely....

Secure that then fingers crossed for the Wild. Would love to stomp them.

Agreed, that why I put multiple steps in. But winning the division is a big advantage, so thatās the goal I am interested inĀ
March 12Mar 12 Author comment_747402 That is counting wins, not points, so it is not accurate (since you could lose in OT and reduce the number, and saying 6.5 wins is stupid). Also with the Canucks losing, the number is actually 6. Ignore the shiny colours and trust the original.Ā
March 12Mar 12 Author comment_747403 Right now, the Jets can clinch a playoff spot as early as next Tuesday, assuming all games for them and their challengers in the West turn out in their favour.Ā
March 16Mar 16 comment_747554 Winnipeg Fre Press: āI think itās been really good for us to stay in that present moment. Just staying level-headed and staying present in every shift goes a long way.ā You are indeed correct Mr. Morgan Barron.
