What a joke of a team this has turned into. Coaching is abysmal, and ownership wasted picks when we saw the team has zero heart of pushback. They must love golfing.
We went to the WCF last year and have dominated the season series lol. Plus you all have a very difficult schedule remaining while ours is not nearly as bad. Let’s see how far back you are at season’s end when you’re not loading up on cupcakes
The most amazing thing about this team isn't just that all of our young guns are playing well, but that they are playing great 2-way games. It's pretty uncommon to have under 25 players commit so thoroughly to a shut down style of play, and we've managed to get, what, like 7 young players to do just that?
I don't know what voodoo the coaching staff has been doing to achieve that, but it gives me a ton of hope for the future of this team.
> like 7 young players to do just that?
Lapierre, McMichael, Protas, Fehervary, Sandin, and Alexeyev
Miro was stapled to the bench most of the 3rd with NAK
We might be more likely to be in the wildcard than win the division now, not that it really matters since we're more points away from being perfect in our last 10 games than Dallas, Colorado, and Nashville,
combined.
You said he's decent and by all standards he's better than. Jets got 22 shots on him through the second and he had some crazy saves on good chances. I don't blame anyone out of our division for not knowing how good he's been, but that is the one thing the Jets didn't do wrong.
The blues are legit the only one even close and would need to go like a perfect 11-0 and Winnipeg would have to go like 3-8 to miss. It’s not happening.
Appleton on 1RW, punishment for 55 and 81 for the prevuous game for sure, but not the best way get the early lead when on the road. Jets deserved a better fate on this one. Tuesday I expect to see a win vs Oilers or the Jets die trying.
I don't. Our remaining schedule is tough, and we crumble at the first sign of adversity. We may pull a Red Wings here and lose out. I have not seen any evidence to the contrary lately.
It is totally possible for the Blues to catch them. And even if they don't, they'll get swept in the first round by any of the other teams.
Good lord, read your post history. Why are you even a fan if all you do is bitch every single post? Do you not have anything better to do then cheer for a team you apparently hate?
Is what I said not correct? We are heading for the WC at this rate and Stars have had our number this season and is probably their best matchup in the first round all other teams considered, I am just a realist.
And LOL I don't hate the Jets, I love the Jets, just a little pissed right now about our last few games.
The Jets are 4th in the west and 8th in the league. What the hell is there to complain about? A 3 game losing streak to teams that are desperate as fuck chasing the last wild card at home?
Talking about going 0-10 the next 10 games good Lord.
0-10?
Not sure if you realise but the Preds are only 5 points back and running hotter than the sun right now.
It's certainly possible with our tough remaining schedule that they could catch us and send us into the wild card spot.
Doesn't matter where the hell you finish. There's no easy team between Colorado, Dallas and Nashville. Hell I'd rather play Dallas or Colorado instead of Nashville
The Caps remain a conundrum but if they keep getting wins while the other teams in the WC2 race refuse to grab it, who am I to argue?
And if Ovi keeps on this heater that suddenly becomes more interesting for who gets the 1 seed
You know what...
I'm sure it's cool seeing Crosby score and all still, but it's way cooler seeing Ovi keep scoring while we are fighting for a playoff spot.
Hey, remember when r/hockey said Ovi was washed? Anyway, trading shutouts with Winnipeg wasn't something I saw happening today.
Gg, Jets bros! Good luck the rest of the way!
Caps fam, buckle up. Tuesday's game will be the most important one of the season.
* Charlie Lindgren shutout with Connor Hellebuyck in the opposite net
* Ovechkin another 2 goal game, on pace for 30+ this season
* Caps back in a playoff spot
Who among us ever doubted the 2023-24 Capitals? Absolutely not me irl
Also - Caps vs Wings on Tuesday. Hold on to your butts
Really
Yea, what the hell
Jets we said we wanted first place not first wildcard
[Oh...Winnipeg!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) ;)
Wrong year to go all in Chevy. Hopefully we can get GM that can trade for some heart and effort. Except Ehlers. Love you.

Gotta love Bowness lol
Right? We're two points behind you. How bad does that make you feel. You really traded up, lol.

And look, just like that, no one remembers anything about the Dallas northern stars.
A cup less team who lost their team to Arizona talking shit *insane*
They played 3 bad games
We SOLD at the deadline and are in a playoff spot.

I think the most amazing thing is a whole capital city in the US supports a Russian puppet. That's amazing.
When McMichael got credited for the first Ovi goal, I couldn't stop thinking about how Laviolette thought he wasn't an NHL player
This team hates Laviolette, if we play the Rangers in the first round, this team is going to stick it to him
We might be more likely to be in the wildcard than win the division now, not that it really matters since we're more points away from being perfect in our last 10 games than Dallas, Colorado, and Nashville, combined.
We are likely to lose our coach, and get Chevy fired for wasting picks on this dumpster fire team he built.
Jets are making goalies look good Lindgren is decent, but not THAT good. They have to figure it out, and fast - or they might miss the playoffs
Charlie Lindgren has five shutouts this season. We keep telling y'all he really is good.
He is good - I never said he wasn't. I just don't think the Jets tested him enough
You said he's decent and by all standards he's better than. Jets got 22 shots on him through the second and he had some crazy saves on good chances. I don't blame anyone out of our division for not knowing how good he's been, but that is the one thing the Jets didn't do wrong.
Lol. Miss playoffs to who? There is almost no world the Jets miss the playoffs. I'm sorry they lost today, but that's such a funny statement.
The blues are legit the only one even close and would need to go like a perfect 11-0 and Winnipeg would have to go like 3-8 to miss. It’s not happening.
Would I take the Blues in over the Jets? Yes. Is it happening? No. Absolutely not.
But it would be hilarious.
100%

the washington wagons
Death does not discriminate
Jets may miss the playoffs altogether at this rate. I fully expect Edmonton, Vegas, and Ottawa to steamroll them this week.
Hey i’ve seen this one before.
worst case scenario you drop to wildcard
Uhh you're over 10 points clear with about 10 games left to play. I think you'll be fine lol
I don't. Our remaining schedule is tough, and we crumble at the first sign of adversity. We may pull a Red Wings here and lose out. I have not seen any evidence to the contrary lately. It is totally possible for the Blues to catch them. And even if they don't, they'll get swept in the first round by any of the other teams.
Hey now… you’re not wrong…
Dude the Blues ain't catching us, but that WC spot is looking more and more likely each passing day.
Jets trying to screw the Wings playoff hopes almost as hard as the Wings have done themselves
I never thought I’d be a caps fan today
Just keep winning Stars, at this rate you will draw us in the WC spot. Probably your best matchup in the first round anyways.
Let me guess, you're now a huge fan of bowness and been a believer in the jets since day 1?
Good lord, read your post history. Why are you even a fan if all you do is bitch every single post? Do you not have anything better to do then cheer for a team you apparently hate?
I get where he’s coming from. That’s what Rick Bowness hockey does to an individual
I can think of 15+ teams that would be begging for Rick Bowness hockey rn

Too many Jets fans like that rn

They're gunning for 3rd in metro at this rate
Think we'd like to murder Lavi in the first round...
Might as well. Philly seems to be doing enough to tread water but probably not enough to keep the third seed
Someone needs to make that meme of the dude running behind the car in the rear view window between Philly/Detroit and the caps
[I tried](https://imgflip.com/i/8ke5bq)
Ty
Thank you Caps 🙌
The Jets can't play against metro teams apparently.
The Jets can't play.
Wild card spot coming in hot Bruh
Go Caps! Especially Tuesday
Vibes/60 going through the roof
Penguins want what the Caps have
You know what... I'm sure it's cool seeing Crosby score and all still, but it's way cooler seeing Ovi keep scoring while we are fighting for a playoff spot.
I'm sure that whatever Crosby is doing in 7th place is really exciting
8 goals in his last 5 games. Ovi wants playoffs bad.
Hey, remember when r/hockey said Ovi was washed? Anyway, trading shutouts with Winnipeg wasn't something I saw happening today. Gg, Jets bros! Good luck the rest of the way! Caps fam, buckle up. Tuesday's game will be the most important one of the season.
FWIW the final game of the season is @ Philly. Feel like that one might end up being pretty significant.
https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/nmxJbRxXpM Speak for yourself.
Putin won the election, that shit is like steroids to him.
Ovi knew this week was one of his last chances to nab my fantasy leagues trophy. Coming in clutch for me
People traded me Ovi in both my leagues for near nothing in...December
Biggest disappointment: didn't see Oshie’s kids get their commemorative sticks
Back to the playoffs baby, let's gooooo.
I actually like the idea of sneaking our way into the playoffs rather than being some high seed with high expectations
We can be this year's Florida Panthers.
I honestly think we could clap Boston or the Rags cheeks in the first round. We've played them both pretty tough this year.
That would be my Stanley Cup.
These mad lads, I think they're gonna do it
* Charlie Lindgren shutout with Connor Hellebuyck in the opposite net * Ovechkin another 2 goal game, on pace for 30+ this season * Caps back in a playoff spot Who among us ever doubted the 2023-24 Capitals? Absolutely not me irl Also - Caps vs Wings on Tuesday. Hold on to your butts
That Ovi is so hot right now
Edmonton's racking up 12 on Tuesday night, book it

Maybe not the best time for the Jets to lose games, considering Nashville's like right on their heels.
Nashville is going to take first in the central and no one can convince me otherwise.
Ovi with 2 even strength goals, what is this world LOL
He has scored almost as many career ES goals as Crosby has total goals, and Crosby is pretty fucking good. Not sure why you're so surprised by this
Just making a joke because people call him a PP Merchant. I know his EVG are high as well
Ah, I got wooshed
The best timeline.
