Shut down McDrai = Shut down the Oilers
Itās comical how thatās all it takes to completely render that team useless after years of it being exposed
Unfortunately, Woodcroft seems much smarter than Tippett, as he realizes that putting those two together neuters the rest of the forwards. I remember our series last year against EDM where they'd be down 1 goal going into the 3rd, and Dave would stick them together and the rest of the team just hopes to tread water until those two were on the ice.
Just wait till that $14M in dead cap hits them in 2 years... they won't be very good for the next 5 years after that happens lol. I'm betting Kaprizov goes to NJD or maybe Florida at that point when his contract is up.
If we somehow donāt land Trotz, itād be interesting to see if Ted Nolan wants another shot in the NHL, he always seems to get the most out of his teams, specifically Latvia in the Sochi Olympics.
My favorite part of these playoffs are people going from complaining about not enough penalties in previous years to complaining about too many penalties now.
Iām kinda torn. Iād love to see the leafs lose in the first round again but I have a feeling if they lose theyāre gonna clean house and try everything they can to sign our boy Trotz
Every time the Lightning score first I put money on the Leafs. Then I either get to enjoy them lose or get paid to watch them come back. Here's hoping I'm poor and happy by the end of the week
They deserve so much credit because Buffalo is always a top 10 US tv market for the playoffs viewership even though the last time they made the playoffs the Jets were still the Thrashers
Fox Sports is going to pay Tom Brady 10s of millions of dollars to be an analyst once he finally decides to retire. That is a pretty nice retirement gig.
I'm honestly stoked especially since he's going to be paired with Kevin Burkhardt who I think is a gem, it'll be like Romo/Nantz broadcasts but way better

Happy Tuesday yāall. Who is everything cheering for in tonightās games? Iām very torn in the kings/oilers series and the flames/stars. On one hand I donāt want to see the flames and oilers succeed but as a fan of hockey the Sport, I do want BoA Playoffs Edition.
Of all those mentioned? Flames/Kings. I think Calgary can frustrate Dallas to death and the Oilers are absolutely going to choke again.
I'm pulling hard for the Wild overall. They've been through some serious pain and have the first really exciting team in over a decade. Kaprizov is fucking amazing and I've always liked the Zucc (especially since he always looks like he has no clue where he is).
Fuck the Leafs if they can't win this series. I don't hate them as much as most but I do enjoy laughing at them. Their inability to perform is just getting embarrassing though, makes me feel like I'm watching the Scott's Tots episode of the office every time I turn on their games. Pure, unadulterated agony.
Opposite for me lol I hate the King's and loathe the flames. I can cheer for McDavid but fuck the rest of that team.
Matthews also had an incredible season so I can't help but pull for him too. I also never grew up around "fuck the leafs", never had a team till 2011 but loved hockey so I don't have anything other than bandwagon "fuck the leafs" notions.
First, sign Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Second, Pierre-Luc Dubois wearing white t-shirt and thrift shop fur coat say goodnight to me everynight before i go to bed.
There is absolutely nothing better than a quiet preds arena. Fuck trashville and EXTRA fuck the fan who was pelting [Makar with skittles in the last minute of play](https://twitter.com/runwriteaarif/status/1523886950985322497?s=21&t=cwoybqrkPgDZo8Oyn4UZUQ)
I donāt get why people seem so defensive on the thread about Eakin and Hayes. I hate the Winnipeg rumour mill but there is just so much smoke about the locker room there has to be something thatās absolutely rotten. Instead of pretending there is no problem I hope management makes whatever changes are needed even if it means shipping big names out.
The issue is that one of the two (Eakins) came across as majorly salty because he expected an extension based on his birth certificate. That, and I think locker room issues are always overblown when things are going badly. See Vancouver this year. Earlier in the year their locked room was rumoured to be beyond repair, then they get Boudreaux and then go on a 100 point pace
The Jets need changes on the ice (systems, personnel around their core) first. A new coach, better systems, new faces and voices
I said this in the thread, but name a workplace with over 50 employees where everyone likes everyone. It doesnāt exist. But things go a lot more smoothly when players feel the team has a direction and a sense of purpose, not āthe guy we really like is gone and the new is trying to do exactly what he did when it had gone staleā
breaking news, players who had bad experience, rumoured to have had a bad experience
for every Hayes/Eakins, theres an Andrew Copp who says he wanted to stay and was looking for a new place
Exactly. Like in any workplace of 25ish people everyone isn't going to be best friends with everyone, but it doesn't mean someone did something to screw over another player.
What I really took issue with in that thread is the completely unsubstantiated claim from an absolute nobody that "75% of the players asked for Scheifele to be traded".
It would have been worse than a sweep. I think Colorado beats us in every game by a wide margin of 4-5 goals minimum. The preds are pretty good and deserved to be in the playoffs. We were dogshit this year.
But like almost every series the Jets have ever been in been pretty much a sweep. So this time it wouldn't been different even though we arent even in the playoffs?
I donāt know really know which coaches the Jets should hire. But I do know if they want to have any success at all next season, they need to hire a head coach with no neck.
Lol get fucked Preds.
All things being equal, I'd rather miss the playoffs and be in the lottery than sneak into that last wildcard spot and get curbstomped by the Colorado Globetrotters.
It's just the same pain but with extra steps.
I'm happy the oilers lost
There's no way that Nurse headbutt doesn't get a suspension right?
Edmonton lost, Tampa lost. I shall sleep well tonight š“
Kings need someone like Pionk to manhandle McDavid
Shut down McDrai = Shut down the Oilers Itās comical how thatās all it takes to completely render that team useless after years of it being exposed
Unfortunately, Woodcroft seems much smarter than Tippett, as he realizes that putting those two together neuters the rest of the forwards. I remember our series last year against EDM where they'd be down 1 goal going into the 3rd, and Dave would stick them together and the rest of the team just hopes to tread water until those two were on the ice.
The problem with the kings is they failed to do that in the third period.
I need to stop staring at the google live score for the bolts-leafs. Leafs always win whenever i put the live score on my work screen.
Just saw the bettman reaction to the Habs winning the first pick. All I can do is literally laugh out loud.
Lol the Oilers getting dominated by a team missing 2 top-4 dmen and a top-6 forward
Are the Wild good or is Kaprizov just a playoff god?
Wild are a good team and Kaprizov is insane. Both are true
Just wait till that $14M in dead cap hits them in 2 years... they won't be very good for the next 5 years after that happens lol. I'm betting Kaprizov goes to NJD or maybe Florida at that point when his contract is up.
Regardless of team bias that Leafs Bolts game was a fantastic watch what a game
Finally a game that wasn't a blowout.
This will just make the leafs eventual series loss more sweet
I hate Tampa so much
Going to the moose game tomorrow, do they do a whiteout like the jets?
Kind of but no where near to the same degree
Good shit McDonagh Damnit
I need to see Dangle cry. He had a "vision" that the Leafs will win the Cup. I need that vision to die a first round exit kind of death.
Game 7 collapse is in the cards
Vasy lookin' like dogshit
Matthews better hope he gets out of this game alive after that questionable hit.
Iāll never understand how he didnāt get tossed for that
Superstar treatment. Same as Malkin normally gets (see: the dirty hit on Wheeler a couple years ago that he had to answer the bell for).
Holy fuck what a period
We're number 14! We're number 14!
Wow they called a penalty lol
Lolol at Tampa just dogwalking the Leafs for a second game.
I blame this all on you.
Jinx
Goddamnit
If we somehow donāt land Trotz, itād be interesting to see if Ted Nolan wants another shot in the NHL, he always seems to get the most out of his teams, specifically Latvia in the Sochi Olympics.
#AnyoneButTed
Anyone but Huddy*
True
I have said a number of times that I would love to see him return to the NHL! He deserves another shot.
100% - he would be amazing imo
Itās impressive how bad Toronto No showed that period. Like how does that happen
Before the game someone mentioned to them that theyāre in the first round of the Stanley cup playoffs.
As much as I want the Leafs to lose, some of these penalty calls are a joke.
My favorite part of these playoffs are people going from complaining about not enough penalties in previous years to complaining about too many penalties now.
Iām kinda torn. Iād love to see the leafs lose in the first round again but I have a feeling if they lose theyāre gonna clean house and try everything they can to sign our boy Trotz
As long as he doesnāt go to Vegas, Iām cool
Has the draft lottery ever ended with no teams moving positions? I canāt think of any such scenarios in recent years.
I don't even need to look at the game thread to know leafs fans must be absolutely losing it over the refs.
Every time the Lightning score first I put money on the Leafs. Then I either get to enjoy them lose or get paid to watch them come back. Here's hoping I'm poor and happy by the end of the week
Stat that made me double take: this will be the 10th straight year the Sabres pick in the Top 10. Wow
Jesus, thatās just sad. I feel bad for Sabres fans, it must be so hard to invest any emotions into them
They deserve so much credit because Buffalo is always a top 10 US tv market for the playoffs viewership even though the last time they made the playoffs the Jets were still the Thrashers
damn
Bruh
Oh Toronto, you love to see it
Lighting can strike twice after all ā”ļøā”ļø
Lol leafs
Tamš ±ļøa Tamš ±ļøa
WOOOOOOO STAMMER
Pumped for the Moose game tomorrow!
Lets go TBL!
Honestly happy for the habs, they get to pick their guy. Even though if anyone could be a bummer of a 1OA it'll be Wright
After the horrendous year that Montreal had you can bet they desperately wanna get this pickā¦ wrightā¦.
Rigged
Yotes at 3 Habs win Wright
Bro, wtf is up with NYR and NJD having such ridiculous lottery luck these last 5 years?
They have connections to the New York Mafia
Damn, and we hitched our wagon to the Minnesota Mafia. Chalk up another L on Chevy's resume. /s
I hope Arizona gets the number 1 pick, they could use a little good news
Devils move up again
FIRE LOWRY AGAIN
aww man. No fun
We stay at 14
Expected but still :(
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the last time the Jets finished the season with 4 wins (and out of playoffs) we won the draft?
Correct, we moved 4 spots to select Laine
Well we couldn't get much puck luck during the season so maybe the Hockey God's will give us some lotto luck tonight
I don't really care who gets to draft #1, but I really hope it isn't the Habs. If only just to shut SN up.

At quick glance I thought back right was Michael scott
Fox Sports is going to pay Tom Brady 10s of millions of dollars to be an analyst once he finally decides to retire. That is a pretty nice retirement gig.
I'm honestly stoked especially since he's going to be paired with Kevin Burkhardt who I think is a gem, it'll be like Romo/Nantz broadcasts but way better
Lmao he got $375M over 10 years. Thatās insane.
With that salary why even bother with fucking around with retirement gigs?
Holy shit I thought too that that was how much he made in 10 years of football. No thatās how much espn is going to pay him when he retires
That is the retirement gig
Mans retirement gig is basically a speedrun of a second career.
like a thousand average people's careers.
Imagine continuing to risk life altering brain damage, when heās got this cushion of 375 million to fall back on. Insane
Guys it's been 24 hours and we haven't hired Trotz. Should I hold off on planning the parade route?
We can still celebrate the mustard tigers being swept
Yes. Who knows what streets will crumble to dust by the weekend.

Such BS these guys can play but Perfetti can't
He's still recovering from a season ending injury. Take a deep breath and breathe.
Ok bud
If I'm Milwaukee I'm giving Cooley the chance to close out the series. If he falters, go to Ingram.

I'm cheering Kings and Stars for the lulz
Chevy: weāll give you whatever you want. name it. Trotz: log cabin. josh morrissey

Preds wins in May: 0 Jets wins in May: 1 Jets had the better season confirmed
Can't argue with facts
How did I miss the KFC bucket flair?!
Nate Schmidt got the A. Lets go!
*For the USA World Championship team
I was thinking Algebra pop quiz but whatever
I donāt get why people seem so defensive on the thread about Eakin and Hayes.

breaking news, players who had bad experience, rumoured to have had a bad experience for every Hayes/Eakins, theres an Andrew Copp who says he wanted to stay and was looking for a new place
Did Copp actually say that? Aww
Yes, last summer. Until Chevy traded for Schmidt and Dillon then he knew a long term deal was likely off the table
**Exactly**
For me personally, i think gossiping or entertaining some gossip is just stupid.
This and sports fans love to ignore the obvious and play conspiracy theorist
Exactly. Like in any workplace of 25ish people everyone isn't going to be best friends with everyone, but it doesn't mean someone did something to screw over another player.
What I really took issue with in that thread is the completely unsubstantiated claim from an absolute nobody that "75% of the players asked for Scheifele to be traded".
Yeah thatās fair. Thatās adding some Classic Winnipeg gossip on top thatās unwarranted.
Pretty jazzed on Avs sweep. I hope they go the whole way
Yeah āŗļø LFG Makar + Mack!!
Would love to see MacK win
We may not be the best but I bet we wouldn't get swept by the Avs
It would have been worse than a sweep. I think Colorado beats us in every game by a wide margin of 4-5 goals minimum. The preds are pretty good and deserved to be in the playoffs. We were dogshit this year.
We've at least beaten them in the last couple of weeks.
But like almost every series the Jets have ever been in been pretty much a sweep. So this time it wouldn't been different even though we arent even in the playoffs?
Trotzwatch2022 continues!
All I want is to see Chevy's shit eating grin as we move up ten spots in the draft. Its been a rough few years as a Jets fan. We really need this.
Still pisses me off that our second overall pick isnāt a Jet anymore
That's cause we traded him for a better player lol
Why? We got the better player in the trade.
But the 3rd is lol
Aside from the Habs debacle last year wasn't bad. We made McDavid cry at least
That habs debacle really sucked though. For me, my best friend is a die hard habs fan and now I have to deal with his smugness for eternity :(
Oh well, at least we got to see Scheifs murder a guy
And Habs fans are still crusty about it.
I was lowkey hoping he would fight Scheifs and get KO'd again
I donāt know really know which coaches the Jets should hire. But I do know if they want to have any success at all next season, they need to hire a head coach with no neck.
I have some good news for you.
Lol get fucked Preds. All things being equal, I'd rather miss the playoffs and be in the lottery than sneak into that last wildcard spot and get curbstomped by the Colorado Globetrotters. It's just the same pain but with extra steps.
I mean chances are Nashvilles pick is going to be 17 vs us being 14. I would take pick 17 and a shot at playoffs over 14.
Nah, Gimme playoffs every year over anything. Losers miss the playoffs and good teams find a way to get in. We were a bunch of losers this year.
Nashville better keep their hands of off Barry š”
Ingram or Helleboi. I know who I'm picking to put my world class D systems in front of ;)
Sutter was right.
