DOPS isn't NEAR consistent enough for me to bet on. I like betting on sure things. I said I couldn't tell if it was a head shot and still don't know. I do know that Evans didn't even put his head up once. You don't think he should have taken a look around? It is one of the first things you are taught. It's kinda like driving a motorcycle...you should be aware of your surroundings at all times. I think if he kept skating, he would have had a really good chance at preventing that goal. It certainly will be interesting to see what happens after certain repeat offenders have been acting up and getting away REALLY easy. Scheif is not a dirty player and anybody that tells you that needs an opthamologist. Doesn't have a history of it at all and most Jets' fans wish he would use his size in a more physical way. Like I said previously, losing DeMelo is huge and puts us at a real disadvantage. Losing your best defensive-minded D man on that corps hurts. Typical Jets won't say boo about Stastny either. Him not playing came totally out of the blue. I said tied 2-2 after 4 and the Jets in 6 before the series began but... I saw somewhere in the last whatever years there have only been 5 instances where a team that swept the last series and played against a team that just went 7. The team that went 7 won every time...Col and WPG are doing it right now. It doesn't happen that often.

did he get suspended? serious question. For wailing on a guy...not very biased are you? Chiarot took him down backwards by the neck and when 55 retaliated, only he got a penalty. Keep your head up, it's the big leagues.

Can"t see the hit from the other angle so am not sure if he made contact with head first or not? He didn't leave his feet before the hit. Scheif is not known to be a dirty player and this is his first incident. By what has been happening in the league with repeat offenders in the last month or so, if he is suspended, I'll be surprised if it more than a game or two. I really hope Evans is okay and has a full recovery but htis is the NHL, keep your head up. I wonder who challenges Scheif for the fight? This is going to be a rough series now for sure. If he is suspended, that leaves our 1C and 2C out and the guy (DeMelo) playing 1RHD out as well. Big problems if Poolman has to play higher than a 3rd pairing role. I know Forbort scored a big goal for us but there is no way he should be a starting D man on any NHL team. I'm guessing Heinola plays in DeMelo's spot...all 170 lbs. of him. We got outplayed and out goalied. Oh well, leave the loss behind and prepare for game 2.

If you believe in them, you'd know they favor Ehlers... I forgot about Lowry's contract...5 x 3.25 starts next season. Another good contract.

Sometime tomorrow I will post some Ehlers vs. Marner analytics. Too busy watching my team suck.

If you believe in anaytics, he is better actually.

We have one of the best goal scorers in the league making 7.14m abd Scheif at 6.125m and Ehlers (arguably as good as Marner) at 6m. Helle at 6.17m. You don't build a contender by overpaying people...just look at TO and the Coilers.

I think they have a very good chance of winning, just not as good as the Jets. 88, 99 and 95 before the humidex up here in the frozen tundra the next 3 days...

I wouldn't give him more than 8m is what I'm saying yes. Because Duchene RyJo are over paid does not make it okay to overpay Marner.

I'd love to have Marner on the Jets but his AAV is about 3m too much...maybe even more. I'd give up a lot for Jones if he re-signed long term for 8.75m or so but I doubt he signs with a Canadian team. Werenski is another player I'd give a lot for if he were to re-sign. CBJ need a center though. Laine needs someone to set him up...if he re-signs there. Tarasov would be interesting but I don't think the Sabres should be interested in one of the CBJ goalies unless they looking for a backup and their goalies are making too much for that aren't they? The Sabres need a bona fide starter.

Reaves is a piece of shat that shouldn't even be in the league. Should get 10 games, probably gets 2 or 3 and he will appeal it. The thing is, Vegas gets better because they will replace him with someone that knows how toplay hockey.

You can get it a lot cheaper than that online and delivered to your door. Me and a couple of buddies chip in and buy a half pound for about 500-550 CAD. Primo stuff. If you want the particulars, let me know. If you e-transfer the money on Friday, you'll easily have it by the next Friday via Canada Post. They have 1/2 ounces of hash on sale right now for 50 CAD. Edibles are cheap but I make my own...they sell shake for about 200/lb.

Not sure the seive was screened on that shot...Dermott is the reason the Habs scored that goal though.

I think the powers that be will let the American team into the country under increased restrictions. Teams must fly direct on a charter and all will be isolated something like the bubble was. Having said that, That might not happen. Winnipeg is the worst area on the continent for the virus right now so that might not happen. We are sending Covid patients to other province's ICUs. Otherwise, I'd be okay with the Jets playing in their opponent's home ice if there are no fans allowed...we have a better road record than home record if I remember correctly. We'd be playiing the Avs or Vegas.

Let's hope it goes to 7!

Not really. Pionk is best partnered with a D first player as well. That is why Maurice pairs him with boat anchor people call Forbort. Dylan DeMelo would be a good pairing if I am thinking about someone from the Jets.

He needs to be paired with a defensively responsible vet so he can do his thing. He does need to learn the D side of the game though.

400 USD? I thought Jets' tickets were expensive!

Here's hoping it goes to 7 games all in OT!

Eichel and Risto for Dumba, Rossi, Kaprizov, Talbot and a 1st in 2021.

If Rhino won't sign, I'd trade him straight up for Konecny. Without looking at salary caps of both teams... Eichel, Risto, Rhino and Skinner (1m retained) for... Provorov, Ghost (1m retained), Frost, Konecny, Myers, Foerster and a 1st in 2021. Cozens, Frost, Mitts and Foerster down the middle in 3 years would be very nice. So nice you could move one to wing or trade one. Provorov is a bona fide 1D man (Chevy tried to get him for Laine but they wouldn't bite). Konecny is a very good winger and Quinn will be in a few years as well. Throw in Olof, Tage and the rest of the forwards in the system and you have a good group of forwards in 2-3 years and most around the same age. You'd also be getting rid of 3 players (two in undesirable contract situations) that probably wouldn't object to a trade. I'd sign Anderson and one of Brossoit or Smith for backup goalies. I'd also get a coach with head coaching experience in the NHL but not Torts. edit ... Play hardball with the upcoming RFAs. No need to offer them too much if they haven't proved anything. If you don't make the playoffs next year with that lineup, you would start making them the year after. Either that or I've smoked too much herb??? Did Duchene really get that much in a trade?

Buffalo should not be taking a contract like Kassian's back in a deal for Rhino...or anyone else not named Skinner or Okposo.

I am tired of Maurice as a coach but you can't deny he had a great game plan and got the players to buy in 100%. We were supposed to lose 4 straight to the Oilers too...good thing we actually play the games instead of going by predictions. I thought we were out of the playoffs with one win to be honest. Kudos to Scheif's line for giving up O to help shut down McDrai.

I'd make the trade even up...if 2.5m were retained on Eichel's contract!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, Eichel will not be coming here...Chevy will not be willing to pay the price and Scheif has opened some eyes here with his D play for the last 8 or so games.

Nice to get the team some rest while the Habs and TO beat each other up. @Hoss, KC is not going anywhere, he's our best goal scorer. Smith played unbelievable through the whole series and kept Deadmonton in every game. Coilers fans are as big crybabies as Leafs' fans.
