Falcons must have Richie Hall on speed dial

bruising?

Patriots win on a 61 yard field goal... callin' it.

Pavelec will have value at trade deadline... 2nd round pick, someone will be desperate and fall for his dreamy eyes

I liked Maurice's quote about how he'll know when his team has turned the corner... 'its consistency in their play'... so what does that mean...? If his 2001-02 Hurricanes were in the west, his Stanley Cup final team wouldn't have made the playoffs... if his Division wasn't garbage, he would have squeaked into a wildcard spot. His career coaching record is .503 and career win % is .472 He had Vezina winning Cam Ward in 2010-11 and finished with a .555 coaching record. Before the 2014 Jets, his teams had never finished higher than 91 points... He's actually never coached a team that has turned the corner... yet he keeps getting chances... ... HE'S THE PAVELEC OF NHL COACHES!!!! AAAAIIIGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

First of all, by worst, I'm assuming you mean best. And you're welcome. As for changing the Jets... remember this team ONLY made the playoffs BECAUSE they started winning games once their best defencemen got injured and Maurice had to tighten up the system... once healthy, they went immediately back to the old run-n-gun Jets, started losing again and only squeaked into the playoffs because Pavs went on his annual 'streak' at the right time. First step is getting someone like Boudreau, Trotz or Hitchcock and install a system. Maurice and Noel both tried to nurture their stars, give them leeway and, at best, install 'consistency'. Its not working. Ehlers and Laine really need a system and guidance right now. Second step is to recognize that Buff is unfortunately not a 25-30 minute a game Dman. Put him back with Enstrom as second pairing and maybe that helps Enstrom a bit too. But, with Buff's contract, how do you tell Trouba he's not worth $8 million a season now? If Trouba walks, get ready to become LeafsNation west.

Stempniak is gone and he never even played goalie. Just accept it.

At first, I didn't believe this but if that actually is the case... I might be convinced that the Jets just made a really really stupid personnel decision. More likely, Chevy caught Pavs doing lines off his desk and was like 'Again?!'

THAT's where I remember Budaj from... Budaj/Montoya and we're a playoff team!!! All we need is good goaltending!!!

Really not up for another expansion draft interpretations debate but... I still believe Pavs was only sent down because we need to expose Hutch as our goalie and that Chevy had a real belief that Vegas would take Helle

Has Cleyon Laing signed anywhere yet?

Yeah, another great 'development' year for our prospects...

Was answered by Rich earlier... Chevy was willing to bit a $3.9 million bullet to protect Hellebuyck from expansion draft... maybe this Myers thing is ending up as the same thing Original injury is probably very real but maybe they are calculating the risk/benefit of sitting him out for the rest of the season - he will heal for 2018-19 and probably be exempt. Then again, watching the gong show of player moves with this team... that's probably giving them too much credit

Jamie Philip making his first start for the Moose tonight

https://www.nhl.com/jets/video/postgame--paul-maurice/t-277437442/c-49075803 Yup. Goaltending was 'real good'... Pavs will carry us to 12th pick overall!!! Huzzah!!

Pre-game for Minne: <takes a moment to scowl> 'Pavs worked his butt off for us in that game, made some real good, real timely saves. We just have to tighten up in front of him. <momentarily frowns so you know its serious> 'We've watched the film, Minnie is next up. Pav starts.'

We scored two goals today and lost to a goalie with a .903 sv% But I do agree that Pavelec should have been Helle's backup since day one... Instead, we're drifting along with Pavelec as our annointed starter

How many games does Myers have to sit out to not be eligible for the expansion draft?

Oh man, I want to turn this into a Laine's Mom Joke thread but I'm already on shaky ground with the mods

I only want to see this if there's a real backup plan... like Corey Greenwood or someone like that

LaFrance, MacMillan and Ernest Jackson please.

except Colorado is not that team... http://www.nhl.com/stats/team?aggregate=0&gameType=2&report=goalsagainstbystrength&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20162017&seasonTo=20162017&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,&sort=goalsAgainst5on5 only team in the league that allows more goals against than the Jets

No wonder they're losing - that whole team is built for speed Jets were just lazy and/or arrogant today - no prep, no system, no effort, no hitting. Seen it over and over.
