Pavs has been great but he's not the future I think it'll be divided between Hutch and our farm goalie name doesnt ring a bell but Ive heard good things about him, I think we need to get rid of buff though, sadly he is one of the few d-man on our team that hit and be physical but its at a cost, we can get something good for him, im happy for jets future looks good on the horizon
Also next year when the farm team moves to winnipeg, going to be hockey central good god

I had Jets in 7, so that is one bracket toasted.
Still on track in almost every other series though...as long as Blues (in 6), Hawks (in 5), Flames (in 5), Habs (in 5), Rangers (in 5) and Caps (in 7). I had Bolts in 5 and that ones is busted.

Welp, no win for us.
I can't deny that Ducks were the better team overall despite game 2 and 3 coming to the brink. We had no chance of taking the series after losing game 3. I can't really hate the Ducks (except maybe Kesler but never been a fan of him even back when he was in Vancouver) but I wished they at least let us win one at home for the fans.
Regardless, GG Ducks. It was a good ride while it lasted.

Honestly it sounds like given the circumstances, the Jets put up one hell of a fight.

I'm torn between really wanting the Jets fans to have the home win they deserve.
But also wanting more rest for the boys after they obviously got banged up a bit during the storm of that series.
I guess we'll have to take some of our talent out of the pools for next round.
Wonder if Wiz and Cakes are ready?
Wow.
Heart.

would I have wanted a win at mts yes however if the jets were to be defeated id rather it be at mts where fans give them the send off they deserve
They certainly played way worse in this series than I was expecting, particularly in the first two games. Not too surprised there were injury problems.
But the Ducks never looked like they were in danger. At best, it seemed like Winnipeg might get them to 5 or 6 games.

Injuries are such a big issue this time of year, it's why it pays dividends when you can play well all season and lock up a playoff spot and a top seed weeks before the season is over.

"Go Jets Go" during the handshake line made me weep.

jets for some reason are always injury prone I get at this time of year players have to push through however we are talking about a team that lost the majority of their defence-men, and at the time one of the hottest players in the nhl until injured, jets have been unlucky. Hopefully next year we can stay healthy

I guess the nice thing about this series not getting dragged out is that at least they'll have more time to rest and recover.

we have one of the best fanbases in the nhl to date, our team loses and we give no fucks. We just wana see the game be played again
shut the hell up! no it didn't.
I really thought they'd win tonight, alas. Happy to see the fans give them a good send off, and I'm extra go happy to see fans on Twitter almost universally optimistic about the team overall and still happy they made the playoffs at all.
Looking forward to next year, hope this experience helps the younger players. Scheifele in particular was just destroyed by the ducks second line, but hey two of our centers are 21 years old so hopefully the team has a bit more depth.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll vanish now that the jets are eliminated, he sure seems to have no actual interest in hockey.

The league would have to institute the mercy rule and call a 3-game sweep.

Frankly the ducks have no shot against calgarys team of destiny voodoo bullshit magic run.

I'll bet you an Ikea coffee table I did.
All we need to do is have them play at Ponda for every single game and we win.

Now Bruce just needs to work their asses off in practice so they don't fall flat in a week.
Apart from the Vancouver media and Tabris, there's not much hate for Kesler. And most Canucks fans don't see it "as cold blooded betrayal", though it's fun to frame it that way. I still love seeing him have success.
:lol
They have to break that curse some day.
Sorry Jets fans. Was hoping they would get a win at home. Nothing to be ashamed of though. Team will be better from the experience. Heck that's all I wanted from the Flames. Amazed they have done so well honestly.

I'm cool with Kesler.
Don't like him either. It's a bit of jealousy talking due to his success with Ducks but he turned his back on the team first chance he got.
I believe it that he was sick of the away from the rink stuff though. I wouldn't want to be a hockey player in a Canadian market either. Kinda understandable that it's not worth putting up with when the team blows.

The writing was on the wall. He was getting old, he had just suffered through Torts, and the Canucks were a bottom 6 team. He jumped ship at the right time. Hes not the kinda guy to be driven by loyalty but we always knew that and were fans anyway.

Kesler is just like Burrows. If he's not on your team, there's a good chance you fucking hate him.
Which means he's doing his job just fine.

Great thing about Kessel. Ostensibly he actually wants to be in Toronto, and yet even so the local media is pretty much constantly trying to run him out of town.
I dunno. Burrows doesn't really do his job very well anymore, gets paid much more, and is still hated by some people. Most have moved on, though, and so have fans that used to really like him. He used to work his ass off, score goals, and irritate the fuck out of the opposition. Now he's reigned in the stupidity in the last few years but he's also a lot less effective in any important ways. Go ahead and pull Duncan Keith's hair - just make sure you score 30 goals, too.
Dude got old, I guess, like everyone else.
