Amazing really... Last 3 games.. Jets took 5 of 6 points against St Louis, Minny and Colorado. Last 3 games for the Kings.. they went 1 for 6 points.. Vancouver,Edmonton,Calgary It is absolute insanity that with a win in the nothing game tomorrow, the jets could finish with 99 points and still be the 2nd wild card team. 99 friggin points and you are technically ranked 8th in the west? That's nuts. But would finish with more points than Calgary and possibly tied with Vancouver i think.

Confirmed Hellebyuck is backing up hutch.

Keep buff and Toby away from each other except on power plays and it's not like it's the first time Toby would be playing the ducks. His size is irrelevant

Stuart will play guaranteed. Pardy might not. Toby Myers TROUBA STU BUFF CHIAROT Then again if Perreault injured longer than expected Buff may go forward

You do realize Noel started the year tho right?You do realize you come off as a dink sometimes right? You should post your meaningless stats since Maurice took over..... Delete. Decided attacking the poster instead of the post is silly

Pav sitting Saturday for sure. Connor probably dressing.

Many guys will sit.

If hutch starts Saturday. Pav finishes the season at 22 16 8. 920 Save % and a 2.26 gaa. Time to admit he had a Damn good season. Hutch was good at shootouts but struggled since finally being beat in one. Shootouts are now irrelevant tho thankfully

Ducks are vulnerable tho. Iffy goaltending. A few games or 2 would get it going. They could play buffalo and I'd be jacked watching it. PLAYOFFS! !! They probably don't care who they play.

Blue job sounds ridiculous lol.

But could still face st louis

It does tho. Not in stats but technically it's back to back to back

I agree. Ducks are vulnerable

Technically back to back to back shutouts for pav

187 minutes shutout streak for pav. Back to back to back technical shutouts

Potential pr player too. Practice roster that is not public relations

It's gonna be windy lol

Be nice to call up Hellebyuck and let him play but won't happen. Guys like copp peluso Ellerby will probably play tho

You do realize that 95 percent of those games have been this year tho right. You do realize all those games buff had missed was when Maurice was coach right? You do realize he took over last season right? That's the 2013 2014 season.

I think we win and Calgary will win too

Interesting stat again...Did you know the Jets are more likely to win without all-star Dustin Byfuglien in the lineup? Since the start of 2013-2014, The jets are 12-4-0 without Buff in the lineup. Things that make you go hmm.

Just out of curiosity how many sell-outs did we have last season? 2? 3? Add a couple more sell-outs and a playoff game and yeah, they probably easily make 4.5 and don't have to dip in to a "rainy day fund".

Good post from a guy on hfboards.. worth a read actually. Nevermind, found it. Here is the number I personally care about, given, like I said, the absolute tire fire this team was under Noel, and dating back to Atlanta. Since Maurice began coaching this team, Pavelec has faced a grand total of 1939 shots, saving 1774 of them and accumulating a SV% of .915. That, for me, is a better indication of what Pavelec may be to this team under the most important circumstances. Not Atlanta days, not Noel days, not 3000 shots dating back to April of 2013 (two years ago), not 3000 shots dating back to November 2011, but what we have endured and experienced under Paul Maurice. To me, that is the most prevailing of facts here. Having a competent head coach, structure and team Pavelec has EVER played behind, and that goes for a lot of these players. And what are we seeing? we're seeing some success. So I do not give a rats behind essentially what Pavelec did in Atlanta, under Noel, etc. Put a player in an incompetent and inefficient situation and you just might get incompetent and inefficient results. Put a bunch of players in a competent and efficient situation, and you just might collectively get competent and efficient results. As a group and team, right from Maurice down to the players we are seeing a net positive. In short, I do not believe Pavelec is a "new" goalie. I do not believe he has totally "reinvented" himself. I do believe he has perhaps worked and altered some techniques. I do believe playing within a structured team that Maurice has incorporated has a played a role. If each of these players buys in and brings some level of positive ingredient to the ice, and it works with this system and such, that is all I can ask and want and hope we endure success. So far, since the day Maurice was hired, we've seen that collectively from this team. Heck, all the majority wanted out of Pavelec was a .915 SV%. He is and has done that under Paul Maurice. Don't feed me old rubbish statistics that to me, are misleading because of the ineptitude that was displayed in Atlanta AND in Winnipeg prior to Paul becoming head coach and essentially saving this team from more losses, frustration, blowing things up, etc. It was a write off before and not a true telling tale, in my own opinion. There is a reason this team is where it is today. There is a reason under Paul Maurice this team has gone 115 GP: 60 - 38 - 17. There is a reason the underlying numbers of this team are good. And there is a reason prior to Paul Maurice all of these things were non-existent.

They made a profit of 3.9 million last season after expenses not including the debt payment, they had a reserve fund of 1.6 million, they took that 3.9 and 500,000 or so from the reserve fund and made the 4.5 million debt payment. They didn't lose money, they made 3.9 million.

No he's not the long term answer but he's played well recently and right now, regardless, he's the best we got.
