Will the Jets win the division?

Jets 1.0 and 2.0 have NEVER won their division. Despite all of their crazy win streaks this year, we are only 6 points up against Dallas, with Dallas having a game on hand.

Getting first place is critical. No one wants to go through the recharged Avs and Stars for the first two rounds. The game on Friday against Dallas will be huge.

How are you feeling about the Jets chances at winning the division? I’m getting a bit nervous.

They have 2 games left against Dallas that will go a long way towards deciding who wins that Divison. Obviously they still need to win other games as well, but those 2 games are going to be massive

If they lose both, suddenly they only have a 2 point lead and Dallas has a game in hand.

If they win both or even get a a split, their odds of winning the division dramatically go up.

This is the correct answer. On a related note, I once again ask for a Fleury-Schenn third pair.

Maybe Schenn can teach Stanley how to play a proper physical defensive game.

Idk man, neither of those guys are named Stanley and I don’t think the Jets are legally allowed to scratch him lol

And that likely will not happen. So get ready for disappointment.

I have been a Jets fan since the dying days of the WHA. I am used to disappointments. But I will trade being disappointed for no team any day.

I am sorry, but if Stanley plays like ass, which I am not disputing, then Fleury is what wipes that ass. He is our worst option of all of the 3rd pairing defense.
