Even a freak like him can be susceptible if he's overplayed plus bigger picture they are way to reliant on him. If McDavid goes down for an extended time how confident would they be in weathering the storm? Ask any HardCore Oiler fan and you'll get your answer. Unfortunately I'm surrounded by them.

I could care less about the Oilers but you're calling it after nine games? Give it time. Oilers suck. So much dead weight on this team. They are playing with danger playing McDavid so much I.e greater risk for injury.

Yea they're a powerhouse especially when McJesus isn't on the ice.

Mass's last card to play till his number comes up.

For everything.

I'm curious if Morrissey's injuries over time has been something specific, like the same injury repeating itself, or just random injuries incurred.

Reliability as we knew he was going to get the job done (best punter ever into the wind, no small feat in Canadian weather), longevity as we didn't have to worry about filling the punters position for many years, great teammate, good community member . . .

Yes but more my point was how integral he was to our team at that time.

As well, third string QB :-)

Not really around our league but: Report: Brandon Browner pleads no contest to attempted murder, sentenced to eight years in prison: http://deadsp.in/N3QotNt

I think what I find most interesting with Lapo pulling his name was the reason he did it, that he would have had to retain some existing Argo's staff (if the sources are in fact reliable). I completely understand why a new Head Coach would want the ability to surround himself with the people he believes will bring the team success and match his coaching philosophy . However, another way to interpret that reason is the knock Lapo has had over the years, that knock being his control issues, as in this is how things will go with little iterations. If this knock is true he has to learn he doesn't always need to be right and he doesn't always need to be the smartest guy in the room.

Where ever the cap max hits, will ownership spend right to the top to keep our core intact? Cause they may have to with how the Maple Leafs are spending like drunken sailors.

As much as I dislike how Jones coaches, I'm with you on credibility, something smells funny about the original source. Poorly written with no meat behind it.

That's like playing not to lose. Get a returner back there that puts the coverage team in full alert mode.

Broissot is really smart with the puck. Good puck handling goaltender.

Why on earth would the the Jets collapse their coverage like that? Jeebus.

Our depth is being tested. Hopefully we are the Calgary Stampeders of the NHL.

What's interesting to me if indeed Nichols injury was more severe than the club was willing to share, is that they are saying an 70%-80% healthy Nichols puts us in a better position to win than a 100% healthy Streveler. Making the playoffs, winning west semi-final supports that argument?

In this day in age, stupidity, violent behavior and really really bad choices is very very difficult not to be videotaped. As much as I think emerging technology has many many downsides, this is a plus imo.

What does part of the sentence 'to the club' mean?

I don't think there is anyway he would consider coming back to the Jets though, I think he wasn't happy being a healthy scratch whether it was warranted or not. And I know you were being tongue in cheek.

I'm no goalie expert and nor an expert on what D system Jets employ but it appears to me that Helle plays pretty deep in his crease. If our D is faltering more than usual does Helle playing deep in his crease add to our struggles of late keeping the puck out of our net?

Ummm. #notevenclose

Yup. A win though?

Helle's due for a shutout tonight. If you say it before the game, it's not a jinx. In other words, bounce back game. ,:)
