Do us a favor and beat Minnesota in regulation. Thanks in advance.

congratulations on the win. I am about to strike up a great big gagger for the ride home. I thought both goalies I thought both goalies played really well.

yes they were linemates in junior as well. They won the Memorial Cup together.

Buff who was paired up with enstrom. BOGO and buff are both right hand defenseman. Sorry for typos on my phone

We actually switched first round draft picks and you guys got the higher pick if I'm not mistaken. I believe Tkachuk had broken his leg and slipped down the draft that year. Smith was a dick for trading Hawerchuk. No matter what their return, you won't win that trade.

I can't find this year's stats but last season the Jets average height was 74.1 (1) inches...weight was 204.8 (6)...age was 26.8 (9 tie). My take on tonight's game... Maurice is playing Scheif's line (Ehlers scheif Wheeler) against the other team's top line and if he can't get that matchup, Lowry goes out...I prefer Lowry's line as the checking line but that's me. Lowry is a big dude and knows how to use his size unlike other unmentioned cough Myers cough players. The PP has been on fire the last little while and I think they have scored 3 PP goals in the first 7 or so seconds of the PP in the last couple or 3 games. Stay out of the box as much as you can...PP is 34% right now. Wheeler is the qb from the halfboard and has 21 assists this year. If you take away Laine, Scheif will get you. Doesn't look like Niku is getting to play (too bad) and Brossoit (3-0-0... 0.957 sv%) is in goal. Myers, the 3rd pairing 5.5m dollar man has been putrid in is own zone as per usual. He's usually not too bad on the PK but he hasn't been very good there this season either. If he is out against one of your better lines, advantage Sabres. His partner, Morrow, is much worse. I truly believe the only reason he is on the team is because Trouba isn't signed long term (and probably won't be). Speaking of Trouba, Maurice will try to get Trouba and Morrissey out every time Eichel's line is on the ice. If you guys have a big line, expect to see Buff and Chiarot as the D pairing on the ice. The other lines will probably be KC Little Laine Copp Lowry Tanev Petan Roslo Perreault D pairings JMo Trouba Chiarot Buff Morrow (awful) Myers Brossoit/Helle

How has Bogo played this year? Why is Dahlin on the 3rd pairing? I hope to see Niku on D and Maurice said Brossoit is starting. I'll be there drinking $10.50 Shock Top pints!!!

I should have mentioned that he almost looked like Mario Lemieux in his two games in Helsinki so it is obvious he can hockey...maybe he's lazy...maybe he want s to get home and play games on xbox or whatever kids use nowadays...I'd sit him for a good two or three games and let him watch from the pressbox but that's me. He's been playing on the Lowry line with Tanev and that is our checking line but I think the lines changed last game and he played with KC and Little. So far, the Little/Laine combo hasn't shown much chemistry at all. He looked good when he has played with Scheif and he and Ehlers looked good with Stastny last year but his year his play is suffering. Good year for a dwonturn as far as salry negotiations go though...the Jets should save some bucks if he doesn't snap out of it soon.

He's got 8g and 2a in 17 games and I think his one 5 vs 5 goal is an EN goal? In my opinion and I know it is a hockey cliche but he isn't moving his feet. He just stands there and watches plays develop. He's 6' 5" and well over 200 lbs. and it surprises the hell out of me if he wins a board battle. I'm not sure if it's laziness or low IQ or what but something has to change. His shooting is world class and his passing is very, very good but he has a lot to learn about playing a pro game in North America if you ask me. Having said all that, the Jets won't split up Wheeler and Scheifele and they can both drive a line. Wheeler on the wing with Little and Laine on the wing with Scheif and fill in with KC and Ehlers should be given at least 5 games but who am I? What do I know really. It is only an opinion from what I have seen of Laine and the team this year. I think Maurice doesn't want to switch things up because the team is putting up points and coaches like wins but I'd put a line with Kyle Connor Scheifele and Laine together. That'd leave the 2nd line of Ehlers Little Wheeler.

Helle was great last night but Brossoit is starting on Friday. He is unbeaten this year in three games. He has 5 goals against and has a .957 sv%. This will be the last game of a 4 game homestand after coming back from Finland.

Truthfully? As long as it's a good game, I don't care. Birthday weekend, I'm getting juiced.

Kulikov was just getting back in to shape after back surgery and he got hurt against the Avs on Friday and is out for a month. The Jets called up Sami Niku (D man of the year in the AHL last year) but he hasn't played yet. I think he will play this Friday against the Sabres. Going to the game and I am looking forward to seeing Niku, Eichel, Dahlin, Mittelstadt and Skinner in person. Just a word or warning, the Jets 2.0 are batting 1.000 with me in attendance.

Don't you just love it when supper tries to walk through your backyard? He tried it he tried it this morning but didn't quite make it.

Worst season for ducks and geese on well over twenty years but I finally got into some northern mallards the other day. Managed some Lesser Scaup, Buffleheads, Redheads and Canvasbacks along with the 4 geese and 13 mallards. Best shoot of the year. Braving the freezing temps this Thursday for my last hunt of the season.

Lemieux deserved 6 games easy. A frickin joke. It was a blatant attempt to injure. I don't want this guy on this team. Send him to the Moose and bench him. As far as Myers goes, he is so bad in his own end with the puck that my a$$ could crack walnuts when he tries to handle the puck in the D zone. A 3rd pairing D man taking up 5.5m of the cap? Kulikov taking up another 4.33m. That's 9.83m for your two 3rd pair D men!

Brendan Lemieux with a dirty cheap shot on Trochek. I hope he gets 10 games and then is sent to the Moose where he is subsequently benched. No place for a POS like that in the league.

Trouba's hit didn't look that bad but the powder puff went to the bench immediately.

The better half picked up tickets for my birthday present to the Sabres game on the 16th. First game of the year for me. Can't wait for those $10.50 beer...she's driving too!

The Jets lost Dano to waivers today (Avs) and rumor has it that Lemieux will play next game. He had a really strong camp. They must like Lemieux because they could have sent him down without waivers.

He has 4 points in 3 games??? Why complain??? He's young...people develop on different arcs. Eichel will be fine....10m fine is still to be determined but he will do much better as he ages and plays with different wingers and D men (Dahlin).

Isn't it 25 games in a season for a rookie to lose his status?

LOTS of bears up there too.

My God, Maurice was playing Myers on the left side with Buff tonight and he can't even play the D zone on his natural side...to say he wasn't very good is a compliment. Has Bogo got into any games yet? How did he look?

Are you going north of Lake Winnipeg or the east side of it? Don't have to do anything to moose meat for me to like it. My hunting partner uses all of the goose meat and makes pate out of the liver. She saves the hearts for me. She makes a stock out of the necks and the bigger breasts she corns and makes pastrami and she grinds the rest (including wing, leg and back meat) of it and makes sausages and ground meat. She gives me some (because I don't go after birds in the field) pate, pastrami and ground meat and it is all great. Goose burgers and meatloaf are excellente! My better half won't eat factory farmed meat but she loves wild meat!
