    I don't know if they can replicate that for 16 games, but that looked like a Stanley Cup winning team tonight...

    He certainly should.  Records are great, but a rested goalie in the playoffs is better.

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.

 

This used to be the case, but the team defense has improved.  What did St. Louis have?  15 shots?  Dallas had 25 last night and they were desperately trying to get back into the game.

If you ignore the quotes and merely answer the bolded part, the answer is always “no”, regardless of the article or issue at hand. The Hockey Writers are hackS, IMO. Just write “provocative” hot takes for click bait.

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.

The third goal by KConn is a prime example - the Stars were on offense and in a split second Iafallo had broken it up and headmanned it up to Scheif who did an amazing flip of the puck to KConn streaking down the center of the ice, with no one on him as Dallas had been caught flat-footed and totally out of position.  This is what sets us apart.  Talent but also coaching to take advantage of other teams' lapses.  We all know the playoffs means another speed higher and the Jets have had a hard time finding that extra gear in prior years, but the last few games for the Jets to me have been played at a playoff level intensity and the Jets have responded to it well.  Will they be ready this year for the next level?  We will see.

I am not a huge Stanley fan but i think he has made strides in reducing his mistakes especially playing with Schenn,or Miller. Schenn has been a great pickup for solidifying our 6  imo.

Yes Schenn and Tanev have been much bigger impact players for the Jets than say a Kevin Hayes-like rental would have been, in my opinion.  Schenn gives the D a much-needed veteran presence with his customary physical play and Tanev is an energizer bunny that just hits everything in sight.  That's going to really come into play in the playoff grind should the Jets get through the first round.

Stanley sets a new career high in points. The Stanley hate is actually insane as he’s better than the other options. Don’t like Stanley? That’s fine but to suggest he always makes mistakes is just wrong. He’s a 3rd pair LHD who kills penalties and does it well. He’s better than fleury and heinola. That’s his competition whether people accept it or not. Every d man messes up. Josh even screws up at times but it’s only pointed out when Stanley does it cuz hey he’s on the ice so must be his guy.

Schenn isn’t a rental btw. Just thought I’d add that. 1 year left still. 
 

my best guess Schenn and Miller split time on the 3rd pairing next season. With Stanley as 3 LHD as Stanley plays well with both. 

ville I see being traded for some draft picks  

demelo Josh. 
pionk samberg 

 

pionk will be signed to 5 or 6 years as dude has made the peg his home  

 

schenn Miller UFA after next season. Salomonnson takes the spot and miller walks and Schenn prob retires at that point.
