Goalie

I have my doubts but like i sort of said lol, I hope it happens also. Downtown is changing big time, and has the last several years... Still a few problem areas but slowly (not even that slowly actually) but surely, things are changing. Let's not forget the Hotel across from MTS and the very cool looking Glasshouse tower there and we can even throw in Hydro and the renovated very neat looking Avenue building.

Can't say Chevy didn't try Ladd traded Helle sent down to the A - their best goalie by a long shot Myers and Enstrom shut down for surgery Perreault and Little shut down They tried but those damn kids man, they took Buff and Wheelers lead and Scheifs also for that matter and busted their asses and have been a fun team to watch recently.

Jamie Benn is another example of a guy picked late, or not at all even and now him and seguin are lighting it up for Dallas. Franchise players are nice to have and it would be nice to have a guy like OVI or Crosby or maybe Matthews ( no guarantee Matthews is as good tho) (he's just a prospect right now) but... as much as i'd love to have that guy that scores 40 or 50 goals and is the face of the franchise, I'm more than fine with having 4 or 5 or 6 guys who are able to pop 20 25 or more goals each...Scheif,Wheeler,Buff,Little if he was healthy, Ehlers if he didn't play with Thorbs for half a season,Connor, these are guys that can do that.. Perreault maybe even but he's more of an Assist guy. But that's just as good as having that franchise player.

All I know, People can put "fans" in to different groups all they want but at the end of the day, I'd rather talk football with people who aren't negative all the time, I mean, personally, I'm not a big fan of negativity, I don't really see the point of it, I don't see the need for it, I don't think it helps and just my opinion but i think people who need to be negative all the time have some serious issues with their life cuz how can things really be that bad always. I've always been under the impression that sports in general, hockey,soccer,football, whatever really,Golf, curling, name it, There are no guarantees ever, As a fan, all we can really do is hope for the best and hope our favorite teams or player does well, if not? Oh well right, there's always next time. After all, It's just sports and while i enjoy sports, The bombers or Jets for that matter winning or losing, yeah it's better when they are winning but if they lose, the fact is, just like if they win, tomorrow is a new day and the sun will likely rise. Yeah people can be all negative all the time, whatever, go ahead, doesn't really bother me but For the life of me, I've never understood how people could be negative about things ALL THE TIME. It makes no sense. Things are never as bad as it seems to be, I mean i don't want to go there but... when you really think about it in the big picture, The bombers or Jets losing? Yeah it sucks but... you know what, at least we have teams to cheer for, at least i can go outside and not get shot or bombed lol, sometimes perspective on life in general is needed, Sports is great but it's entertainment really and quite frankly, if you aren't entertained by it or it causes you stress and to be so negative all the time, why are you watching it? Sports man, the one guarantee about all sports is there are no guarantees. Who knows what could happen. It's actually what makes sports so great actually, Cuz you never know whats gonna happen. And to bring this back on Topic, Doug Brown, well he comes across as someone who is negative for the sake of being negative, Unless old Mr Brown actually believes he has all the answers to everything, which wouldn't surprise me in the least. The guy talks down to people constantly and his act has grown a little old. Doug Brown was a good football player, but just because he was a good football player... It doesn't mean he's a good "writer" or whatever his job title is.

Arizona has the tie breaker. It's ROW's. It's 5th or 6th last for the Jets only, meaning top 10 pick guaranteed and more than likely top 5 or 6 pick since it seems pretty damn unlikely that teams behind the Jets in the standings would win all 3 lotto spots. I personally think the chances of the Jets picking top 3 are greater than them picking in the 7-9 range.

I'm not convinced this "SKY CITY" development happens. Fortress is kind of an iffy group. They have promised other projects but they never happen or they sell it to someone else. Not convinced it happens but would be cool if it did.

I think Copp has more O potential than Lowry so have Connor and Copp together on the third line with a guy like Dano or Armia might make more sense. 2 michigan kids with some skill for sure.

That's as high as the jets can finish. No worse than 6th last. Could still finish 5th last with a Calgary win and loss to LA. Guaranteed top 10 pick. Regardless of what happens with the lottery

Reality is that they were never really tanking in the first place.

Nope cuz they were a top 10 possession team with Ladd also. It's really as simple as bad goaltending. Pav has played 3 or 5 more games than helle has and has less wins. Hutch has 9 wins. It's really that simple. Helle has the most wins for the jets this year and hasn't played for what? 2 3 months now.

Nothing. Jets are a top 10 possession team. Pav and Hutch sucked earlier. PK sucked. PP sucked. Pav is having his 1 week hot streak again. He wasn't good tho and hasn't been despite what the announcers try to say. Copp is playing well cuz he's not playing with thorburn. Amazing what happens when you put 2 skilled guys like Petan and Armia with copp. Lowry still struggling and will continue to until he isn't playing with Thor. Guys like thorburn Peluso Stuart pav need to be replaced and they already have the kids to replace them with. Offseason will be interesting cuz we will find out if loyalty or winning is more important to the Jets

Well deserved win. Jets were the better team. Get a better goalie and this team is very good. Pavelec needs to go. 1 good week per season doesn't cut it in the nhl

So much for Nick Ellis. Signed with Edmonton

I know that he said not injury related but I think his knee injury had to play some role

Panoramic views they say

Motte very likely plays his first ahl game in winnipeg against the moose this weekend

Now do something about portage place cuz that'sthe biggest problem in the downtown.

Wrestling legend and grandfather to bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas... Blackjack Mulligan aka bob Windham has passed away

Wpg Square actually has 2 pads on the roof so technically 1 more building could be built there also. It's a cool project and will definitely change the downtown landscape. Along with true north square lots of good things happening

German Rubstov i believe is a draft eligible russian but he's been playing in the CHL i believe, He's a good one and i highly doubt this effects his stock in anyway.

I honestly don't see the Jets taking Chychrun. They like high character guys with strong work ethic and hockey smarts, I'm not sure that applies to Chychrun. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they have Sergachev rated higher.

Well, that's just dead wrong. Their undoing was way simpler than that... It's obvious, I'm not sure how they missed it... Top 10 possession team, That's very good.. Right up there with the LA's of the world... Difference? PAV and Hutch sucked to start the year, our PK sucked and our PP is dead last.. It's not an age issue, it's a goaltending and special teams issue. So basically, it's goaltending and coaching. Age has nothing to do with any of that. Jets are a very good 5 on 5 team and what you've seen recently is when they don't take as many penalties, they start to win games, goalies have played well recently also, they have started winning, It's not about the age of the team, That's a quite frankly, BULLSHIT weak excuse, it's the PP, it's the PK and it's well below league average goaltending for a long long stretch of the season, the only team their goalie ac tually posted league average numbers was when Helle was called up.

So you want them to be like the oilers and have a culture of losing and be ok with it? These wins are huge for the young guys... Where they end up is irrelevant in the big picture, I know people get all caught up with the Matthews hype but reality is he'd be our 3rd line center next season behind Scheif and Little, we are stacked at forward prospects, we really don't need another one lol, it doesn't hurt but it's not a priority, what we really need are D prospects and more specific, LHD prospects. Jets will end up picking where they do, who knows, maybe it's first, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th,9th... There is really nothing anyone can do about where they finish, I'll take the team who doesn't stop trying because they are eliminated over teams who do. Helle, their best goalie, sent to the AHL Myers and Enstrom shut down and having surgery Little out,Perreault out... Yet this team isn't giving up. I'm sorry but haven't they already won 2 games in a row? They beat Minny in our last home game and now beat Anaheim, That's 2 in a row. 3 would be SJ which seems doubtful, i think they lose to SJ and beat LA tho.

Puljujarvi will probably go 3rd so unless the Jets are picking 3rd, I doubt it. Chychrun actually might fall and I'm not sure I'd take him if he did, He's a guy that I'll just leave to the scouts to judge, they get to talk to him, I don't, something is off there tho, Tkachuk could go anywhere from 4th to 10th probably, depending on the needs of the teams who are picking in front of us.. If the Jets are picking let's just say 5th or 6th, I still think they get a top 3 pick, i just feel the lottery gods will reward the non tanking teams and teams like the Jets and that will pick higher than the Oilers and Leafs.. but let's just say 5th or 6th.... They should have a choice of Tkachuk, Dubois,Chychrun,Serg,Juolevi. Whoever they feel has the highest ceiling and it wouldn't actually shock me if they passed on the D and took Tkachuk. Then Take a D with Chicagos pick and our 2nd, cuz they won't be trading up, cuz no team will trade down.

The Miz bores the crap out of me, I think they have done way to much damage to his character for him to ever recover or actually be taken seriously again by the audience. While I agree that he is a good heel and has the mic skills and charisma, I think he lacks that ability to connect with the audience, and mainly through no fault of his own, it's because of the way he's been booked. I don't think people really give a crap about MIZ, and not in the he's a heel way, i think it's more in the... who are you kidding kind of way. WWE has basically ruined the MIZ and at this point, not even Maryse, who most people have no idea who she is, can save him. People are bored of the MIZ.. Doesn't matter what a few people think, it matters what the majority think and it seems like, well, he gets very little reaction and generally the reaction he does get is UGGGG not the MIZ... that's not good. I'd almost say he's got XPAC heat where the audience just wants him to go away, not cuz they don't like him cuz he's a heel but because they just don't like him and are sick of him pretty much. Question tho... Roman Reigns, some signs there that he is going to go heel... does that make a difference tho? I mean, i'm not sure the booing that the audience does, i'm not sure if it's directed at Roman or the Booking of Roman, cuz Roman ain't so bad, it's just that... John Cena is the goody two shoes superman, said actually said that's his character, Owens is the trash talking heel who doesn't care what people think, SCSA was the anti authority bad ass, Rock was the funny guy with all the one liners, What the heck is Roman Reigns? I think that's the problem, and i'm not sure if turning him heel fixes that problem... What is Roman Reigns? What's his character? He's not a good guy, he's not a bad guy, he's just the guy? That doesn't really work.
