SpeedFlex27 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 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?

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). 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. SpeedFlex27, Goalie and BomberBall. 2 1
captaincanuck12 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 Wow.. nice work @FrostyWinnipeg. although I will agree with the thread title. Way to Early. Jets need to win and win consistently. We can revisit this topic after Mid March

bearpants Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 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....

Expand Agreed, that why I put multiple steps in. But winning the division is a big advantage, so that’s the goal I am interested in HardCoreBlue and Goalie 2
TrueBlue4ever Posted March 12 Author Report Posted March 12 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. Noeller 1
TrueBlue4ever Posted March 12 Author Report Posted March 12 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.
HardCoreBlue Posted March 16 Report Posted March 16 Winnipeg Fre Press: “I think it’s 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.” You are indeed correct Mr. Morgan Barron. Noeller 1
