I hope Armia isn't hurt too bad. He's been one of the few nice stories this year. Looking forward to him continuing to gain confidence next year. Maybe we can draft a Finnish buddy for him to play with too. EDIT

makes you wonder how any goalies ever got any shut-outs back then. But you also see why no one is ever going to catch Gretzky playing in the modern era. Jagr is going to have to play until he's 150.

Well, now they do, thanks to the Liberals being back in power.

the big difference in the game from then to now, in my opinion, is the goalies. In those highlights Mike Vernon and Reggie Lemelin are letting in goals that would just not happen in this day and age anymore. And more's the pity.

he was on MH370, and was mysteriously rescued from some island that now no one can find.

Maurice was counting players in the dressing room this morning and thought they were one short because Stafford was invisible.

I am not a fan of Dr. Drai or Yak but that's just my bias against any player who isn't from North America showing. That and the fact that Yakupov has basically been a giant bust. Who knows though, he could get traded and do a Tyler Seguin and light it up, given the ice time, a bit of confidence and decent line-mates.

Hawerchuk scores a beauty at the 7:00 mark on a partial break-away. And yes, that's Scotty Bowman doing the colour with Don Whitman doing the play-by-play.

and yet how many years did Messier and Gretzky play together?

here's hoping that Addison Richards isn't already well on his way to being Jade Etienne 2.0.

Taylor Hall is on the cusp of being an NHL star for a long time. You would be crazy to get rid of him. RNH and Eberle, ok. I also would find a way to unload Yakupov too.

Go to the 1:00 minute mark. Talk about talent. Hawerchuk had the softest hands I've ever seen.

reunite the "Trei Krone" line of Lundholm, Steen and Lindstrom. We called them the "Trei Groaner" line as they would pass and pass and pass and never shoot.

Matthew Tkachuk - final piece of the puzzle...

A friend of mine went to a Flyers Rangers game the year after Lindbergh died. The Ranger fans were chanting at Hextall "buy a Porsche!" That's hard-core.

Love the picture of the Queen being back at a Jets game, loved that portrait.

All shwarmas will be tailored to people who have to chew with glass jaws...?

I miss Shawn Cronin...

Bobby Hull will probably coach. I doubt he can skate anymore.

Yeesh. All I said was he was bringing back memories, not that he IS Dale Hawerchuk reincarnated. I thought it appropriate as it was Hawerchuk who told the Jets to go off the board and grab Schiefle early. As for a team leader, I think we are watching Schiefle make a case for future captain. He is really coming into his own now.

Scheif bringing back memories of Dale Hawerchuk in his prime. Talk about dominant out there tonight!

Fffffftt...when have the Jets ever had any success drafting a Finn in the first round....

I see a big need for Tkachuk on the Jets. I am hoping we get him in the top 4.

Hope Morrssey plays well, hate to see him have a bad game and his confidence take a hit.

Let it be Enstrom, and I'm a happy camper...any time you can trade a soft Swede for a good Manitoba boy is a good day in my book.
