Kaner always wants to come back from injury WAY before the doctors let him. He has a high pain threshold. I think Jets' management want Roslo to eventually become the 2C. He's played with some talented players in his career so far and has 17 points. in 21 games on the farm. sidenote ... I read today that TO, Buffalo and Winnipeg employ the most scouts of any team in the NHL (24 I think).

Bogo is still out? That means Kaner is the only one playing in the NHL from the trade right now.............Roslovic got invited to the USA team the other day.

To be fair, Staf has only played 14 games but there are a few players I would have put out on the SO before him. Said it a hundred times, he is taking a space away from a player that needs the development...we aren't winning the cup this year...deal him. Myers has played 11 games and is out and Armia 10 games and he is out.

he has a whopping 4 points this year and Maurice puts him out as the 4th shooter? Gimme a break.....trade him as he is taking up valuable space. Jets drop one in a SO after leading 3-1 after the first period. 4th game in 5 nights and 29th game of the season.

Laine scores one in the first to tie Crosby for overall lead in goals.

He got another one last night that he knocked down at about 2 feet above the ice and beat Hutton for his 16th of the year to tie him with Sid for most goals and tied for 10th for overall points. If I am not mistaken, he has 13 goals in 13 home games. He has a great shot that gets off of his stick VERY fast. He uses his reach to his advantage and is strong on his skates. What people don't realize is how good a passer he is. The pucks arrive flat and on the ice and on the tape. Is he a better shot than Sakic? I think he has more elite shots than Sakic. Sakic was known for his snap/wrist where Laine has that and a slapper that is scary and he is very accurate with all. If he has a career anything resembling Sakic's, I don't think anyone would complain. Kyle Connor is having a rough time of adapting to the big man's game but most the other young Jets are doing very well. Management has some tough decisions when everyone is healthy. Myers has only played 11 games and I actually thought he played really well the last few games before being injured. I don't think we'll make the playoffs but we might've if we had stayed more healthy. We're not winning the cup this year but it would have been nice to give players the experience.

Flames aren't moving Hamilton.....especially for a first.....do you remember what they gave up for him?

I think it is more likely that they get a team like the Canes.

We have a LOT of players injured so him coming back into the lineup is a good thing for the team right now. Enstrom on his way to Sweden regarding a family matter...our 1LHDnow joins Myers and Armia, Little, Perreault, Connor and Matthias missing from the lineup. That's a pair of D and a good 2nd line with 2/3 of a good third line. Don't get me wrong, all the best to Tobi and hope hope everything works out for him but the Jets are reeling right now. Some fans were bragging how we were in 2nd in the division a week or so ago and I warned them we had played more games than anyone in the league and going on a 5 day road trip....today we are 2 points up on the last place team in the division and have played 3 more games than them.

Stafford is back from injury tonight....better than the guy he is replacing (Howden).

That would be Mark Stuart...

Laine pots another one!

Nailed it... injury list as of today... Little Stafford Armia Perreault Matthias, Connor, Myers and I think Stuart. Burmistrov is either hurt or just benched...not sure, don't care... as long as he isn't on the ice. That's 7 starters not playing.

Laine will dominate once he puts on another 15 or so lbs. and learns the NHL game a bit better. I am impressed with his D game for an 18 year old.

The Ehlers Scheifele Laine line is fun to watch. Scheif is in 1st overall in point s and Laine is 1st overall in goals. It will be interesting to see what management does once Little, Perreault, Stafford, Armia and Matthias come back from injury...the youngsters that have come up from the farm, Petan, Copp, Dano are all playing very well. It would be nice to have that depth at D...

Hunted 75 yards away from where we were Saturday and got 2 mallards yesterday evening....not sure where they all have gone but only saw about 40 ducks and the bluebills aren't using that part of the marsh any more either......just when you think you have it figured out.......

Thanks for the compliment on the prep and skill but I think it is important to eat what you shoot or give to people that enjoy eating it whether it is ducks or moose or whatever. I am Metis but the daily limit is 8 so we stopped at 3 limits about 10-15 minutes after sundown or 15-20 minutes before legal shooting ended. I don't usually shoot more than the daily limit but I do carry over the possession limit...24. The pic I posted with the grouse a couple of weeks ago has 12 which is the daily limit for two hunters. I eat a lot of wild meat at this time of the year and have a mallard stew in the fridge right now and had grouse in a stir fry today...I have goose breakfast sausages and burgers in the freezer and goose pate from a friend and smoked Goldeye in the fridge from another friend. Another duck hunting buddy is hunting moose and I would love to get a couple of steaks off of him if they get any. I will have walleye (crazy fishermen out fishing before we were at the launch!) for supper Wednesday but Tuesday and Thursday I will be out on evening hunts as I prefer them over mornings at this time of the year so I won't be eating supper those days. My better half doesn't eat store bought meat but she will eat anything I harvest while hunting so I don't eat a lot of store bought meat either. I wasn't dressed as warm as those two but remember that it was a 35 minute boat ride back to the launch and it was closer to 50F at that time of day. Also, chest waders are a must. We are having really unseasonably warm weather and the marsh is usually 75% frozen by now and the high for tomorrow is 50F! We have no freezing nights forecast until the 16th. The ducks will be gone within 16 or so days I would say but I expect the amount of mallards to increase exponentially for the next few days and the Canvasbacks, Redheads, Bluebills and Buffleheads numbers should peak in a few days. This is my favorite time of the year to hunt so I will try to make it out every second day for ducks until they are gone. I hunt until I can't find any open water to hunt. Then see what I can do about putting some more grouse in the freezer. It is a really good season for ruffies. Anyone off of the site want to come down before the season is over give me a shout. The best hunting is just around the corner.

The Northern birds are FINALLY moving down... 24 ducks with 12 Bluebills, 3 GW Teal, 1 Wigeon and 8 Mallards. All were very, very fat. Made duck stew yesterday with some mallards. mmm mmmmm Thousands of mallards coming back just before dark while we were picking up decoys. Back at it tomorrow... This hunt was Saturday and we had highs of 62F...normal highs are 32F...

I am betting that Chevy does't blink first...having said that, I believe he signs before the Dec.1 deadline for two years.

Injured players... Little Myers Stuart Matthias Stafford Armia Perreault Trouba (holdout) D men in bold. Bring up the kids and let them play!!!!!!!!

Kane Bogo Myers and Staf all out with injuries right now...

Neither does he...and he is useless. constantly out of position in his own zone and how long has he been in the league? Maurice's decision making confounds me sometimes... He dresses Thorburn and plays him for 4:35...Doesn't play him after the 9 minute mark of the 2nd....this is in a game where you lose a forward in the first period... Armia has been one of the best forwards this year and doesn't get higher than 3rd line and we are struggling for goals... takes Laine off of the PP last night and it sucks... They have called up Copp so I hope Copp and Dano get some time because we have forwards Little, Staf, Matthias out and the youngsters need the ice time.... Burmi should go back to the KHL or ECHL of somewhere because he wouldn't start on any either team in this league and yet he starts on this one. I think the team played well last night considering we had 3 starting forwards and 3 starting d men out of the line up...time the tenders starting winning a game for us. Can't see the Jets making the playoffs this year.

Didn't get to watch the game and didn't PVR it but Thorburn, very unfortunately, is dressing tonight...they call up Dano and make him sit and not even play while Thorburn dresses and gets his 7 minutes??? I am really starting to question some coaching decisions over here. Armia is our best or one of the best players for 5 games and he stays with Lowry and Matthias???? Postma, Chiarot and Mechiori are all dressed on D tonight with Myers out and Trouba not here......feel sorry for the goalie. Seems like giving money to Ladd and not Okposo was a huuuuuuuuge mistake for the Isles. Ladd has 1 point in 9 games and Okposo has 7 pts in 7 games. Okposo only makes a 1/2 million more per year and is younger and better.

scary good or scary bad? he hasn't been playing as well as expected.

Congrats on the W... I was out hunting and forgot to tape the game... Anybody on the Jets stand out in a good or bad way?
