Bring out the broom. Jets in four leading after two!

He's an elite hockey player. Good would not be an adjective to describe the plays that man can make at 260 pounds on two blades of steel. Maybe you and I differ on what elite means. By NHL standards, Adam Pardy is an average hockey player.

Sorry but I still have the love for Buff. He is one of the major reasons why we make it tough for other teams to play against us. Every team has one of them, Buff is ours. It's not just about identity. He's an elite utility player that plays on and over the line. I'd hate to give that up, head shot to Katy Perry not withstanding. Loved the chant last night. Well done.

Jets win four straight, take the series in seven. And then I woke up. Hard to swallow, but you're probably right.

Yea Kesler's one for sure, easy target but how about Andersen their goalie? Let's check his mental toughness.

If you're being serious, no way they make that trade. He's one of the best wingers in the league.

I'd add 3. Maurice makes what changes/tweaks to his lineup in adjusting to our two-game third period follies?

I was more amused by the GM from Buffalo and his reaction. Hello Eichel can hear you.

Um no. He's having a heck of a series imo. Put Pardy up on wing and sit Tlusty. If Ladd is playing hurt, sit him and get him better. His 80% is not better than a 100% we have in the bullpen. The mental part of his game just doesn't seem to be there, it's not the same Ladd I'm use to seeing. Pavelec played lights out, I actually feel bad for him, that doesn't happen often for me. I thought the commentators made a good point that we need to balance our heavy game with some energy towards concentrated offence. Kesler, we need to make him a non-factor is how we react to his crap. For the most part Perry was a non factor last night, nice to see. Unfortunately we have to fight thru the non calls, we can't control how the game is officiated. all I ask for is consistency and the refs can't make it about themselves. Tough one to swallow with holding the stick and too many men that led directly to scoring opportunities/goal. Brush it off, clean slate, new game. It's still an even series until someone loses at home.

Also called a bruise.

Okay, I officially hate the Ducks. Can't stand their head coach. Disliked him in Washington, dislike him even more now. Loved how he got the 'what for' from the head referee. Thought Galley made a great point about pacing, short shifts. Buff was taking minute shifts. Jets ran out of gas. We effectively shut down Getzlaf, Kesler and Perry for two periods but missed the third. Our penalty kill seems to be playing tentative, need to go back to that aggressive push. Ladd was definitely off his game, all started in the pre-game skate with Pavelec. If Thorburn and Wheeler's goals go in, we win. Trouba is a monster. If Little finds his game, we'll be fine. The way Thorburn is playing, he's almost deserving of third line minutes. My eleven-year old son reminded me it's only the first game, we can steal one on Saturday.

It can't be the only factor (e.g., video, players history, rules, etc.) but has to be ONE of the factors impacting severity of supplemental discipline. Then, it would control for minimizing a cheap shot with no injury not being appropriately assessed.

Oh, that changes everything.

To neutralize, like we did with Ovechkin, match Meyers on Getzlaf.

You could rotate them to play 1/2 game each.

I assumed you always were based on your posts . . . :-)

Honestly I would keep playing Pav all the way regardless. One game of rest... I don't see the value. Change as little as possible because the team is rolling and you don't want to knock them off course. If the Jets win today (please), you'll see all healthy press box players and dancing gabe in the line-up against Calgary.

Move the goalposts to the back of the end zone like the NFL.

Usually (I hope) the goalie get's upset at the situation (being screened) and not at the player (didn't mean to and/or had to be there). There's a difference.

That's because you don't live in your parents basement. If you're a true blue fan however, you can do whatever you want, no judgement.

I'd much rather see Perreault play the wing. Lowry has all the makings of a prototypical 3rd line centre for years and years... Second line when he hits his prime (hopefully).

Right or wrong, some athletes would disagree with this. Again, right or wrong some athletes expect some sort of security other than being paid for what they deliver. Similar to having a base salary where most of your income comes from commission.

The one positive I take out of this game was Hutch handled the puck with much more confidence than I've previously seen.

Keep the momentum going as long as you can. Start Pavelec.

I was not aware of Stafford's hands. Wow. You can tell Pavelec is playing with new found confidence. No happy feet, his positional play was outstanding last night. For the most part, hooved in the puck, caps had very few rebounds. I watched the Oil game afterwards and Scrivens played like bad Pavelec, i.e., made outstanding saves at times but his positional play was atrocious. Even my 10 year old son pointed it out.
