I have complete faith that the Jets will make sure the Flames game is meaningless. You can take that any way you like.

Pavs starts. Enstrom skated at end of practice.

The thing about fans like us who go on forums to discuss hockey, we're the group that loves this to a hardcore degree and our emotions rise and fall with the team. Its easy to see when looking at Buff this season. he literally went from being considered trade bait a great forward to a Norris contender on D to the most unique and valuable hybrid player to being a bum on D and people wanting him on forward again and finally now to "trade him". When a player plays great we annoint him King. When a player has a bad game, sometimes just a bad shift, we want him run out of town. Balance is the key. To me, our RHD is among the best in the league. Could be the best. The key is getting minutes for all of them. I almost think thats more important than money right now because of Myers contract which will pay him less cash then his cap hit and arguably a lot less cash than he deserves, plus if Morrissey can make the team it means we are saving money on the LHD to use on the RHD. My concern is them trying to shoehorn a RHD onto the left side. If it works, great, it means we have an elite top four. But if its just to keep players happy, maybe we do need to cut our losses, trade a RHD and move on. We could easily get a second pairing LHD and a quality bottom pairing RHD plus for any of our current RHD in a trade.

Wouldnt that mean they'd have to lose all their remaining games?

Tony takes flak because he generally goes about his job quietly. You never hear about him which means he's doing his job and then when he makes a bad okay it has a bad game as all players do suddenly its "trade Toby". He's a top pairing D on most teams. He's our best LHD by a very wide margin. And he does this being half the size of everyone else. Everything he's got in this business he's had to change minds. Toby will be here many years

Doesn't seem to be the jets style to go with unproven goalies. They won't part with pavs until tjeu are sure they have a replacement. And Helle is awfully young.

WTF are you talking about? Yup. That's a credibility-killing statement.

The jets are not going to spend money on a player that isn't here. The jets have no better options right now. I don't know who might be available in the off season but if they sign a new starter they might be able to ditch Pavs to a team with their own bad contract or a team struggling to meet the floor But I doubt it. Pavs and Hutch next season. Count on it.

As for the eastern race, what has happened to to the Pens and what do they do from here

Nice of the loser oilers to even show up tonight

The fatal flaw in your argument is that pavs isn't our back up.

Pavs contract isn't really an issue when our back up is still on an entry level deal. Pavs deal isn't even that bad

Nope.

Did Perrault and Ladd switch places ? Slater looks better with real talent on his wings. This is a good team when everyone is healthy.

No no a new Full House. With DJ and Kimmy as the central characters and the others as guest stars.

Now bringing back Full House on Netflix.

Steroids aren't as important now. When WWE offers you a contract you have to be able to pass their drug tests. I've known guys who, when asked if they'd is say not now and they wait X amount of time to do the Medicals. It all depends on what WWE wants. They used to have a restriction that you had be be 6foot plus and 230 lbs. They believed tjeu could teach anyone to wrestle. That failed. With Hunter running developmental they want guys that can work. You can train in Winnipeg. Mentallo is a very good trainer locally. We've had many guys from Storm's camp. If you can afford it, go there. If you're not sure what you want to do most locals will gladly take on "interns" who will help with set up, do reffing etc. Learn how things are done. Most locals just want to take your money. We've tried to focus on developing not just workers but announcers, managers, bookers.

Spoke too soon. Thanks for showing up Edmonton you f*#%s

Getting a bit of help finally.

Four games is excessive but I wont argue too much since the play was cheap and dirty. Now he has to face his team mates and explain why he wont be there to help them make the playoffs.

This mystifies me. Im as up and down with the team as anyone but are we really arguing that Buff should go back to forward because he's sucked for a handful of games when it wasnt long ago that we were arguing how he had to be on D because he was one of the best in the league. Players sometimes struggle. Buff hasnt forgotten how to play great D. Leave him where he is.

Can we go back to talking about Buff as a Norris Trophy candidate please.

CNN.com Dusseldorf, Germany (CNN)Latest developments: • Out of more than 2,000 DNA samples collected from the crash site of Germanwings Flight 9525, lab workers have isolated 150 DNA profiles, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told reporters Thursday. "That does not mean we've identified" the crash's 150 victims, Robin said -- noting the recovered DNA found still must be compared with DNA submitted by the families of those who died in the crash. • The recovered flight data recorder from Germanwings Flight 9525 was buried at the crash site in an area that had been searched previously, Robin said. A police officer found it by digging. • Authorities have found some 470 belongings -- including 40 cell phones, which are very damaged -- at the crash site, Robin said. Full story: Analysis of a tablet device belonging to Germanwings Flight 9525 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz shows he researched suicide methods on the Internet in the days leading up to the crash, the public prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf, Germany, said Thursday. Prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said that on one day, Lubitz also "searched for several minutes with search terms relating to cockpit doors and their security measures." Police analysis of the correspondence and search history on the device, retrieved from Lubitz's Dusseldorf apartment, demonstrated that the co-pilot used it from March 16 to March 23, Kumpa said. The search history was not deleted and also revealed searches concerning medical treatment, the prosecutor said. While cautioning that there are still many holes in understanding Lubitz's motivation, the disclosures about his Internet searches show that he planned to do what he was going to do, a European government official with detailed knowledge of the investigation said. In fact, the official said Lubitz's actions in bringing down the aircraft amount to"premeditated murder." Lubitz is accused of deliberately bringing down Germanwings Flight 9525 in the French Alps on March 24, killing all 150 on board. Investigators have since focused on his health as they try to establish his motivation. In another key development Thursday, recovery workers in France found the second "black box," or flight data recorder, from the Airbus A320, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told CNN. It's hoped the flight data recorder will shed new light on exactly what happened on the flight. Source: Lubitz was seeing multiple doctorsIt is becoming increasingly clear to investigators that Lubitz was "very afraid" he would lose his license to fly because of his medical issues, a law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Thursday. It's already emerged that Lubitz had battled depression years before he took the controls of Flight 9525 and that he had concealed from his employer recent medical leave notes saying he was unfit for work. But the law enforcement source said that after a severe depressive episode in 2009, Lubitz relapsed with severe depression and stress in late 2014. In the weeks leading up to the crash, Lubitz was shopping doctors, seeing at least five, perhaps as many as six, the source said, as he kept going from one doctor to the next seeking help. The 27-year-old was having trouble sleeping, and one of the doctors he saw recently was a sleep specialist, the law enforcement source said. Lubitz apparently told some doctors that he was afraid of losing his pilot's license because of his medical issues. The doctors knew he was a pilot and gave him a "not fit to work" notice, which he was apparently required to give to his employer, even though he didn't, the source said. Officials have found doctors handled the matter the way they were supposed to and found no negligence on their part. Thinking he would stay home from work based on the sick notes, Lubitz was prescribed a lot of medication, including "heavy depression medicine" that would have been "very heavy" on the body and "critical to a pilot," the source said. However, the law enforcement source doesn't think Lubitz was using the medicine while working, because investigators interviewed a pilot he flew with the day before who said he was "completely normal" with no problem whatsoever. Inside Lubitz's apartment, investigators found a couple of notes with only a few words, involving stress and his pilot's license, the source added. He didn't know if Lubitz wrote these down while talking to someone on the phone or wrote the memo to remind himself of something. Lubitz told his Lufthansa flight training school in 2009 that he had a "previous episode of severe depression," the German airline confirmed Tuesday. Lufthansa is the parent company of budget airline Germanwings. Opinion: What if my patient is a pilot? Confidentiality issuesGerman officials announced Thursday that a new task force would look at issues including medical procedures for pilots and cockpit door locking mechanisms after the devastating crash. The cockpit voice recorder revealed that Lubitz had locked the pilot, Patrick Sondenheimer, out of the cockpit before putting the plane into its fatal descent, said Robin, the Marseille prosecutor. Cockpit doors on planes were strengthened following the events of September 11, 2001, making it impossible for the captain to force his way in. German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt told the news conference Thursday that the task force would prioritize questions around the cockpit door locking mechanism and procedures for checking pilots' medical and psychological well-being. It would seek to move quickly, he said, but would not make rash decisions. The head of the German Aviation Association, Klaus-Peter Siegloch, emphasized issues around confidentiality when it comes to a pilot's medical records. "The confidence our pilots have in our medical doctors is of high importance," he said. "I believe if there is a lifting of doctor-patient confidentiality, then possibly pilots will not trust in medical doctors and that will make the situation worse." The task force will bring together government officials with representatives of the German airline companies, the German Aviation Association and the Federation of German Airlines. What was mental state of Germanwings co-pilot? Crash avoidance software?With reports that Lubitz apparently ignored blaring cockpit alarms warnings to "pull up" as the mountains neared, there are new calls from aviation experts to develop and deploy enhanced crash avoidance software that could take control of an aircraft away from a pilot and steer it to a safe altitude. The technology would work in a similar fashion to crash avoidance technology already used in automobiles if a pilot is incapacitated or ignores audible warnings. The idea is not new. In fact more than 10 years ago following 9/11, Airbus, the manufacturer of the doomed aircraft, was working to d‎evelop aircraft crash avoidance software with tech giant Honeywell -- in part to prevent jetliners from being flown into large buildings or mountains. But the project was ultimately scrapped. Recovery workers believe they have now collected all the human remains from the mountainous crash site. French President Francois Hollande, speaking Tuesday, said that it should be possible to identify all the victims using DNA analysis by the end of the week, sooner than authorities had previously suggested.

Well hes right far more than he's wrong. He really wears two hates, journalist and analyst (not to mention historian). He's the best at both. I think its usually pretty clear when he's guessing. He also will reveal news that either ends up changing due to circumstance or because he reported on it. Vince has long been known to change things at the last second.
