Ducky

I have watched it over 25 times and still can't see why Perreault got a penalty...

Hawerchuk is being inducted into the Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame tonight before the game with AZ.

Helle just got his first regulation time loss on Friday and Mason just had a sv% of .966 tonight but I like Lehner. Trying to get even? How's Bogo playing? What do you think you will get for Kane?

I'd send Mason to Buffalo for Lehner.

They need a center with Getzlaf and Kesler out. Would love to meet them in the playoffs this season.

We went back on Tuesday after the winds let up and the marsh was frozen...busted through ice for about 1 1/2 miles to get to our "pothole" to discover it was frozen right across.

Scheif with the hatty tonight...3rd hatty for the Jets in 12 games. Lemieux got into his first fight and Buff squared off with Benn. We play the Habs on Saturday and they are in Chicago on Sunday...I hope we see Price and not Montoya.

That reaction time works both ways though, no?

Lemieux picked up his first ever goal in the NHL...assists to Myers and Armia.

Three of them by Wheeler. I love to see those crybabies lose...too bad we don't see them again in the regular season.

Hy's seasoning, beef broth, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 kinds of tomatoes, potatoes, onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms and mallard. Forgot the corn. Strong winds tomorrow so we probably won't go back out until Tuesday.

mallard stew

We got into some diver action on Friday while out looking for some northern mallards. The Buffleheads were in color. The marsh will be frozen in a week or so if the forecast is right.

I think Botterill will take his time and evaluate all positions that are under him including the farm and scouting personnel. I think most major moves will be next off-season after he has had a good long look at things. I would guess he will make some changes to the scouting department if he hasn't already. He must have discussed some kind of plan and how long it will take to get there with the owners before he was hired. If I had to guess, I would think he would try to get rid of KO in the summer and Kaner at or before the TD. I don't know the Sabres well enough to know if you have a replacement at 2C for ROR but the biggest problem the Jets had was losing Little last year. It changed the whole lineup including PK and PP. Second line centers don't grow on trees. You'd get a lot back for Kane and Okposo to maybe fill someneeds on the team. Not sure what you would get for Bogo but is he a 2nd pair RHD or no? I'd give Lehner some patience, the whole team is learning new systems under the new HC and it will take some time. I'll tell you this much though, the team that gets first pick next summer will have a superstar D man in Dahlin for years to come.

He's been okay so far. No Bobby Orr but the guy can skate.

Circle hooks are big up fere for Channel Catfish but I rarely use them. Guys I know swear by them. So, went out on the 31st of last month and without scouting we walked out to our spot that produced dozens and dozens of ducks last season. When we got there, the water levels were down and half the water had mud showing. To make a long story short, we shot 6 ducks and 1 goose between two of us...probably the worst opener I can remember for a few decades. Got home and cleaned the birds and went to bed. Sick ever since...just feeling well enough to go out this weekend. Probably go for ruffed grouse. Almost killed me to be sick in bed and all my hunting partners are sending me pics of all the birds they were getting. Two hour drive (only 20 minutes of no pavement) to get to where I want to go for grouse on Sunday. I hear there are lots there so I hope to put a limit of 6 in the freezer. I might go for a quick shoot on Saturday evening if I am up to it and my buddy clears the dead trees from his launch. A quick 10 minute boat ride and you are setting decoys but it is hit and miss. It is usually either hardly a bird coming in or birds all evening.....there doesn't seem to be an in between.

He is one of my most favorite Jets D man of all time.

Pastrnak has only played three seasons so the Bruins are probably crying that he is a RFA for 4 more seasons and they have a point there. Comparables from his draft year are Ehlers and Drai. Drai got way too much. People around here are saying Ehlers' next contract should be 6+...I think Drai got over 1.5m too much and Ehlers should only get about 5.5m but that's me. I think Pastrnak is the best player from his draft year and if he signs for 8 years, should get about 6.5m - 6.75m a year. Not much he can do besides hold out and the Bruins are a pretty old school organization and wouldn't panic and over pay. I think he signs in the next 10 days.

He played withToews what??? 8 years ago? 10 years ago? You don't have the highest TOI in the league if you are out of shape.

Do you mean the guy that had the highest TOI last year? I have no problem with his conditioning or stamina. I think he needs to get nastier and play a more physical game this year. Everyone is saying they are pairing up Kuli with Buff so that should make a hard hitting duo.

Pastrnak is probably asking for 7.5m+ and the Bruins are balking. Their highest paid player makes 7.25m. He scored 70 points last year and he is 21.

Rad's deal is better than Marleau's but that's not saying much.....the Leafs seemed to be making wise choices and then this? wow

Great move for the Sabres! and not bad for Minny. Their D line is strong so they can absorb the loss and Ennis is younger than Pom and I would rather have him than Pom but great trade by JB. Also, Minny sheds some salary (for free agency?). Scandella is a good D man and I bet he is on the ice a lot when Eichel is. If Pom has a resurgence with Buffalo, look out. IF he plays with Eichel, I'll bet he gets at least 55 points......The Sabres are kind of like the Jets in that potential is nice but it is time to start making the playoffs consistently. Great trade for the Sabres. What a great time of the year with all the drafts and rumors and trades. Having said that, I sure hope Chevy doesn't overpay for any of the LHD. Love to have Alzner but he will cost too much. Don't have a need for Shatty. I still think Chevy might have a deal with Vegas if he doesn't get someone in free agency. Said it before and say it again, would like to see Lehner in a Jets' uni.

if you think about it he protected Lowry or Perreault, not Enstrom or Dano.

Why expose him if you don't have to? We will probably lose Dano...rather lose him than Myers. I still want to see Myers traded but not until he shows he is healthy and his return is decent. How much time is he going to get after Trouba and Buff?Bogo being exposed and Beaulieu being protected shows how much Bot thinks of Bogo.
