Speaking of Boston, what would Marchand's read? 'Recovering Jerkface, will try harder, love my money don't want to lose it anymore'?

Added to this it will be interesting to see what does Chevy to shore up our lineup with a possible trade or go with what we got. His conservative mo suggests no tinkering but maybe he will surprise us.

I remember listening to a NHL coach (can't remember which one) explaining that picking your lineup for the shootout is a mixture of intuition, gut, guessing, and their in-game play. So picking Hendricks may have been done by what Maurice saw with him throughout the game. Not a big deal unless he keeps picking Hendricks and he keeps not scoring.

I like Laine matched with Ehlers better but that's just arm chair QB me.

I'm not convinced it's his physical decline. I think it's more of his psyche. That's just my gut instinct tho.

Simply from being mesmerized from this ongoing gong show, how anti-climatic would that be . Like Geraldo opening the vault and nothing there. After 68 years of investigation we have found some serious improprieties but nothing illegal. Blech. The longer the investigation takes, the worse or better it is for those being investigated? Hard to tell.

IMO I think Yost somewhat overstates and over complicates the use of the word weaker teams. Regardless of how teams made the playoffs (and yes I agree there is room for improvement in how that is determined), all teams made it because they did what they had to do. All 16 teams who make the playoffs are strong teams comparatively speaking across the league, however, obviously some playoff (and non-playoff) teams are stronger than others and some playoff teams are the strongest of the pile.

I'm wondering with Durant in the fold will this influence O'Shea's approach in going to the QB bullpen a bit more often than previous seasons.

Nice if we broke out of our mini goal production slump tonight. Perfect recipe in place.

Yes after the Flames scored their first goal I thought Romaniuk was going to pass out. I have a nickname for my favorite Jet #33. Bored Buff. He just looks so uninterested right now. He is at his best when he plays with an edge. There has been no edge lately. Something is going on. Hope he pulls out of it.

We are going to win our first ot game today.

Nowadays, no such thing. Oops, sorry, wrong thread.

Again, I'm talking as a human being not as a 'support a left, right or middle perspective'. There is racism and evil everywhere. We are all good and bad with our actions, some more than others. The goal is to do more good than bad. This would be a better discussion face to face over a beer (or in my case I like dry white wine). If you're ever in Sherwood Park, I'll buy you a drink (and you can buy me one) and we can chat about this and end our discussion on our never-ending love for our Bombers and Jets.

I was coming from a human issue not a political one with what concerns me. Options as a human being: not support racists and support people with genuine faiths that try to spread goodness in an evil world. Yes that impacts my political options for sure.

More concerning than this current administration is the voting populace in the States who support them to this day.

Yup but if we had to, Bond, everything starts in the trenches. Protect QB at all costs. Whose our back-up QB?

Knowing we played last night and have taken three penalties, the Wild just drew up the perfect gameplan on how to defend the jets in this first period.

If he does start lets hope the motivation to do well in front of a large television audience and get some exposure with other teams looking for a goaltender (*i.e., $ contract next year) helps him actually do well for us today.

If true, wow because that only plays to his dwindling base. Logically (and I know logic doesn't always work in certain scenarios), condemning remarks that have been largely condemned by a population would be a good strategy to garner the needed votes and would trump (ba doom phish) any sense this would cause among his most ardent voters i.e., oh oh he's causing strife in a party by calling out our leader.

Hutch with the start today?

How about like they do in hockey where they call the offensive player for diving, call the player who fake kneels, delay of game? Subjective call especially when it's a potential injury but . . .?

Well, no longer a Collaros fan. Hope he Drew Willyits all season.

Hendricks game thus far and his influence on the bench (and inside the locker room sources say), no way you sit him.

We're big campers as well, thanks for the thread. We start our countdown for our annual family summer camping trip beginning every December 26th. We really like Englishman River Falls on the Island, it's incredible imo. Bolded section = music to my ears. :-)

When I'm watching the Jets or Bombers on TV, during the game my wife tells me she doesn't understand why I'm not happy, they're winning? The final buzzer hasn't gone yet, that's why. :-)
