Western Conference Playoffs - Round 1: Jets vs Ducks (Ducks Win Series 4-0)

[Moneyhands23]

Is it possible to change the poll? Can the jets pull a kings cone back and win 4 straight??

I really feel for you guys. The team does not deserve to be down 3 rip. Never give up!

After walking into this series smug and confident about facing a "weak Pacific team with lesser advanced stats", Jets fans are now pulling the "we're just a #8 seed losing to a #1 seed" card. They're even throwing jabs at Calgary and Vancouver for facing each other - even though the Jets lost both their season series to those two teams 4-1 with an overall -9 differential (not counting the preseason game at the end of the season). I can't say I have any sympathy for them.

Surprised there is no talk about Byfuglien doing his best Marshawn Lynch impression and answering every question the same today.

I know ppl defend him but I just don't see that guy as a leader. When I think about his stupid and selfish penalties on the ice, the way he acted today, and his actions earlier this year in the Kane incident nothing screams leader.

This is hillarious revisionism. The vast majority of Jets fans knew the difficult task we faced.

Cringe worthy.

They've given up third period leads every game? I can't imagine teams winning series (or games for that matter) when that happens.

The Jets are a good team. A little unlucky to be down 3-0. Too bad #neverquit is taken, but you get the idea.

If its not then I find it Sexist and offensive that Cinderella does not get her proper due when it comes to metaphors just because shes a woman.

Personally, I was only offended by my last two posts

Meh. One could argue that by going that route with the media, Byfuglien has put all the focus on himself, and therefore taken it off his teammates.

But one thing is clear, Buff needs to have the game of his life tomorrow.

He may be an idiot but he's one of, if not my most favorite player in the league.

I agree. Same issue throughout the end of the regular season, put them on the ropes to make the playoffs. Good team, great fanbase, but not playing smart.

Ehlers heading to Winnipeg for game 4, with the Moose heads eliminated by Moncton.

Good for him

Won't be playing though, according to Friedman, that still correct?

Apparently. I was hoping he would though.

lol....too funny.

Can you name a fan base that goes into Round 1 thinking "We're doomed. We're going to get swept. May as well accept our fate."

Not sure where the jabs at Calgary-Vancouver are, or even if they exist. I was hoping it would be a Flames-Jets Round 2 match up. We all knew it would be a tough go facing Anaheim, but if you don't believe in your team, what is the point of even being a fan?

Having said that, I just got word that the Jets are calling up Nik Ehlers from the QMJHL. He may start Game 5. I hope the Jets ride with Hutch Tuesday, since I am dying to watch Ehlers play, as he has dominated the league in scoring in the playoffs.

He has actually gone out of his way to mentor Scheifele and Trouba, so he is a team player. I still love the fact that he was the catalyst for getting rid of that locker room cancer.

Last fight, wear white?

I was very much on the page of Buff did what was needed to do with the whole Kane situation. But after seeing just how selfish he's been with his actions on ice down the stretch and even in the playoffs here with some of his stupid antics, starting to wonder if the Kane situation wasn't blown up due to piss poor and selfish leadership by Buff. Doesn't mean the guy isn't good as some aspects of his job as a leader, but looks like he's also got some serious deficiencies that can't be helpful.
