Some fun.... Superstar is a derived term of star. As nouns the difference between superstar and star is that superstar is someone who has accumulated a vast amount of fame; a high-level celebrity while star is any small luminous dot appearing in the cloudless portion of the night sky, especially with a fixed location relative to other such dots. As a verb star is to appear as a featured performer or headliner, especially in an entertainment program.

Yes thats what i said. ?
-
Pretty much...there are only a few true superstars...or generational players...hence the name. And no Wheelers and Scheif are not. Sorry I am a Jet fan they are stars no doubt but not generational players.
-
Well the best that I can explain it to you is that their are stars and then their are special players above those that seperate good teams from great. Crosby,Mcdavid perhaps...Austen maybe....in the past Mario , Gretzky....not just stars but special players that when they touch the puck you just sense something special might happen....that is what Laine can bring. He is the only player on our team that has that potential. We will see.
-
Nope Scheifele is a star and Wheeler too but not in the same bracket as a player let's say is called a franchise player. Laine imo will be that and might be right now because of the lack of players that can shoot like he does.☺
-
We don't have a superstar right now but Laine is the one with the potential to be one. Who is the one player you want to see unleash his shot? Sheif and Wheeler how good were they at 19? Were they leading their NHL teams in goals? Do they posses a shot better than 99% of the league? Is the power play arranged to get them the puck? Laine is our best sniper and needs that top level center to feed him and that ain't Copp......or Little.

Dumbest reply I've read......
-
Uh no you build your team around your superstar. We go as far a Laine takes us....when Crosby slumps does the team make him a 4th liner?
-
Actually he was great with Wheeler at center...maybe he needs a center who can give and go a little bit better than Little? They just don't mesh for whatever reason. Btw Laine is also a great passer.. but who cares when he shoots better than 99% of the players in the NHL?
-
No DAMN way you leave Laine with Copp....how about Roslo with Laine as the second line center drop Little to third line? Wasting out best scorer on the third line....??

Messam, Bond, Evans , where is the cap in Riderland? Oh well it's only fines...whatever it takes to win.?

Game 56 : Madison Square Garden @ Madison Square
bb1 replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Went to the game...2 unlucky plays for the Jets...terrible pass by Ethlers and lucky goal for the Rangers. Still we don't look the same and y break up that no 1 unit and throw Laine on the second? Laine has not played well with Little all year yet Maurice keeps trying to plug him in there? And then he leaves the lines the same all game even when we are in a funk? Oh well the Rangers had horse shoes up their asses today....? -
Yeah Santos- Knox is great , but because of injuries and weak MLB we have to look at an upgrade here. Rolling with Wild and Legget is a big time gamble. And another year with Hurl at MLB is a recipe to really get Hall fired.? I'm sure Walters has something cookin...?
-
A little harsh ....no sense in beating a dead horse.?
-
Some strange twisting of logic here but ok. I like Durant over Glenn because he has won a cup and is more mobile than Glenn. Durant is an upgrade over what we had last year as a backup and that my friend is a fact.
-
With Flanders here I don't see us going after Finch, but Spencer would be a great addition.
-
It's not like Davis was a raw rookie he had 3 years in this league to develop and when his chance came he just was timid to a very noticeable extreme. If the coaches then would of come back the next game with him fine,but he then lost out to noodle arm Lefevour who started the next game. If he can't beat out Lefevour really is there any hope this guy can be a star in this league?
-
How can he get more playing time here if the coaches do not have confidence in his abilities? They have slowly tried to bring him along and when he got his chance he was like a deer in the headlights reaction....its professional sports you have to grab your chance when it comes along. Time to move on.
-
Nope I believe we have seen enough of Davis. We need to start again because when we needed Davis last year he was nowhere to be found. We you get your chance you have to step up. If anything he regressed....
-
Yes but is that not also defending the defensive coordinator?
-
I would still want to know if it's Hall or MOS making the call on starting Hurl. Was it not in Halls defense in Sask where Hurl did start but then was demoted to backup over poor play? Why would a defensive coordinator risk his job over a player underperforming in a critical position? Why would MOS come out and defend Hurl stating his job is not like a typical MLB?
-
Idk if it's all Hall or not. Loffler was brought closer to the line and I believe led the team in tackles. When's the last time a safety has led the defense in tackles? So the scheme is definitely different. I am sure Hall knows the difference between a MLB who can play or not. So why was Hurl there? Too many questions, no answers. MOS gambled and lost but the players are still 100% behind him. This team is light years beyond what they were. I think we wait and be patient see what shakes out. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Hall back.

Can't get the Redblacks vs Saskabush. Used to have the game one after the other in the playoffs. I know TSN wants me to buy all their channels but this is lame. Can watch any NFL game but can't get my own country 's games anymore? Sad.? -
