Tlusty pretty good defensively. Solid effort tonight. Pav in beast mode. Gotta keep playing the hot hand.

Sit those guys out if they can play? WTF? No. Let them actually get healthy. Why rush them back and risk worsening the injury. Buff was 2 to 4 weeks. Not sure if it's been 2 full weeks yet. Little they didn't say how long and Chiarot and Perreault are "long term".

Pav should play tomorrow

So at my house, we got MTS and i was browsing the channels and came to channel 1528 and low and behold, wwe network free preview. Pretty cool stuff, went to parents house, they have shaw and switched it to 225 and low and behold, wwe network but no free preview. My dad told me it's because Shaw are A holes but yeah.. Anyone gonna get this channel? I'm thinking about it, 11.99 a month, lots of footage, archived stuff, get to watch NXT, lots of history on that channel it seems, plus pay per views are included in that 11.99 a month. Say what you will but if a fan of wrestling, 11.99 for all that stuff plus a pay per view which goes for like 50 or more bucks on ppv, Not a bad deal is it? And Wrestlemania is coming up this Sunday too, not sure how many wrestling fans there are here but anyone gonna check it out? I haven't watched as religiously as i have in the past but do enjoy me the big 4, gonna say 3 cuz survivor series has sucked recently but do enjoy watching the big 3 PPV's (rumble,mania,summerslam) and hell, it's only gonna cost 11.99 this time i think. Instead of the 50 bucks, Gotta make that decision to order the network soon i think, unless the free preview on MTS is all this month.

Temps definitely a little crazy the next little while tomorrow plus 8, wed plus 1, thursday -3 friday plus 2, saturday plus 11, rain it sounds like, sunday plus 8, monday plus 10, tuesday plus 7,wed plus 3 That can all change tho in a second but that's pretty much normal weather for this time of year, well the plus 11 and 10 isn't really. As for Alberta, saw a pic on twitter of commonwealth covered in snow. Didn't we or darn near set a record last weekend when it was like plus 15 or something, or close to a record high. It was damn nice out and this snow is fine with me, don't mind the look of clean white snow actually and it's not really cold so whatever. It's march lol.

Little,Perreault and Buff should all come back when they are healthy, 100 percent healthy really. Believe they said 2-4 weeks with Buff, has it even been 2 yet? Perreault won't be back until early april at the earliest i'd imagine, Chiarot had a broken hand and surgery so still gonna be a while there i think, might be the guy that returns last actually. Be nice to get them back but right now, playing so well that i'd be a little cautious and hold them out until they are truly 100 percent healthy or as close as they can be to it actually.

I agree that PAV could start every game down the stretch but we do play Chicago again and Hutch seems to have their number this season so I'd probably give him a shot there. Pav tho is the guy right now, we are 3-0 in our last 3 games, they weren't pushover teams either, tbay, st louis and washington, Why would anybody want to screw with what's working right now? It makes no sense, as for little and buff, nope, they won't be play tonight or tomorrow, maybe the week-end tho but again, if it aint broke, don't fix it. Be nice to have those 2 back but.. the team is 5-2 in their last 7 games, most of them without buff and little.

Leafs are bound to win eventually, why not tonight lol. Honestly of all the games tonight, the teams i could see losing are Minny and LA. But i think if Minny loses, the Jets do too. The Jets/Wild spot is probably gonna come down to who wins that game a couple weeks from now, Jets vs Wild will be a huge game coming up.

Meh, it could be worse, it's like what? 2 cm's, some more is expected but this is nothing compared to what places like Alberta, SASK, the maritimes have gotten. Heck even Ontario is like - double digits, i just looked on my phone and at almost 2 pm, it's zero out.

Mateas stays 1st in Dunks mock, just like before but lots has changed since his last mock. Had Chung going to Winnipeg at 2 last time, now has Groulx.

I suppose this could go here but judging by the twitter feed on the side, it's just a matter of time b4 the argos are playing at BMO field, probably for the start of next season it sounds like. That's some great news really.

Oilers aren't a gimme and now is not the time to be screwing around with your goalie rotation, It's really simple, you play the hot hand and right now that's pavelec. Oilers are definitely not a gimme, they have nothing to play for so they are loose and playing quite well recently. Start PAV, sounds like he is starting so that ends that debate really,and if he plays well, you play him again tomorrow. The guy had 3 weeks of rest on the bench, when Hutch started and had a bad game, Maurice went back to Hutch again, why? cuz he was the hot hand, kept getting points. That's what its about right now, every point matters. Play that guy that is getting you those points and right now it's PAV.

I would think maybe hope the goal is that taking a player at 2, there is some hope that he could play this year, maybe not to start the year but definitely should be able to take some reps, make the game day roster even, The one plus to taking, let's just say Demski is he can conceivably play special teams where an oline, well he wouldn't. Demski,Durant whoever, non OL player lets say. I think you hope that he can step in and contribute right away, like i said tho, doesn't need to be as a starter, can be on special teams. It's a tough call, the draft is so stacked i guess with OL prospects that you would think picking at 11 and 15 even that there would be a couple OL guys left to take. Tough call tho, Justin Dunk just did another mock where he has durant falling to 8 and demski falling to the 2nd round, doesn't mean much but sure would be sweet to be able to get Demski at 11, i think if we don't take him at 2 and he's there at 11, it's a no brainer. Just really don't know which way they are leaning with 2. If it was me, i'd want a player who has the ability to play right away, special teams even and maybe later in the year can play regularly on O or D. Still feel that due to the depth of the oline in this years draft class that it's very likely you could see a run in the first round on non OL players with the hopes that some will still be there in the 2nd round.

Pav was the first goalie off the ice, he's on fire right now, I'd play him tonight and if he plays well and we win, I'd play him tomorrow night too. You ride the hot hand, Hutch has been rather average recently, might say below average. Pav is the hot hand, Play him until he loses.

Slater is a ufa and looks just about done. Little Scheif Lowry are a good 1 2 3. Copp if ready or O'Dell even makes sense as the 4th. Petan probably a future 3rd line winger

I saw someone say that but I agree that's way too much and nobody will pay that

One thing. 8.5 9 million? Who has the cap space. Teams that aren't winning any time soon do. The contenders sure don't.

What I mean by luxury is we already have 2 top 4 young rh d men in myers and Trouba. When you think about it you don't need 3. It would be nice but isn't necessary really. Maybe buff can play the left side tho. If not it's pretty tough to give all 3 equal minutes. Well its not, it's just that maybe that 7 million or so would be better spent elsewhere. Perhaps areas where depth isn't as strong as the rhd side. Add in that buff will be 30 and perhaps looking for big term and money. Just saying it might make more sense to upgrade the team elsewhere. Then again who really knows what buff wants. That's the big question. What does buff want. Seems like he likes it here likes being a leader here. He might not like it elsewhere or might not be a leader elsewhere.

As long as our starters all don't go down at the same time, i think we should be ok. Then again, how many teams could lose 2 or 3 oline starters at once and be fine? Not many, if any at all.

Difference between Stamkos and OVI tho is stamkos actually hustles back in the play, I'm not knocking OVI, i actually really like the guy, he seems to be a pretty nice down to earth guy, he's just a cherry picker tho. It's cool, Like i said, i'd take a guy who can score 50 on the Jets any time really. Ovi and Stamkos aren't as bad as Kessel tho, I mean at least at times OVI tries to get back in the play to help out Defensively. Kessel doesn't come past the center line very often. I'd take OVI on the Jets in a second, Russian factor? Nah, Cuz then every russian who could score would be a cherry picker, Tarasenko,Malkin but they arent', they are complete 2 way players, OVI isn't really, he's very good tho, he just concentrates more on scoring goals than playing D and that's fine. I guess you can say, OVI is paid to score goals, he's doing that in bunches so he's doing his job really.

He was being heralded as a norris trophy winner by Jets fans. Winning the Norris means nothing, it doesn't mean you are the best D man. It means you are good at putting up points really, Playing D doesn't mean a thing to Norris trophy candidates. D men play D first, buff does not do that. When he wants to be someone said? You realize that is like once every 5 games probably. It would be nice to keep Buff but, not sure why anyone is pretending he's one of the top 10 D men in the league, he's not. Toby is actually better, Myers might be too, Trouba is too, They play D first mostly, That's what you want in your D men. He's not Doughty, He's not Subban, He's not Letang even, He's not OEL in Arizona, He's not really an elite D man, he's a good d man but... he's not elite. lol at questioning peoples hockey knowledge because someone don't think Buff is elite, He's not, what makes anyone think he is? Elite D men don't take games off at a time, Elite d man don't play good D only when they feel like doing it, they do it all the time. People do know what the D stands for right? But if he is elite, then he should get 9 million a year cuz that's what the doughtys and subbans get. That's too rich for the Jets blood i think.

OVI is a huge cherry picker but with that being said, I'd love to have a soon to be 50 goal scorer on the Jets.

Jets Win. 1 point behind minny still but 4 up on LA now. LA has problems. Big problems. They are not gonna make it. Minny and the Jets will

Huge win. Pav is lights out. I guess you can say like his mask. He's the boss recently. As for stopping ovi all the jets needed was a myers

Minny has no cap space to sign guys with suter and Parise being paid a ton. Same issue there tho. Suter and Brodin. Minny wouldn't have much interest I don't think. They have bigger issues then adding yet another rh d man. Jets are 5-2 without buff. Is he really needed that badly? People also need to realize buff ain't that great defensively. Had a good first half but his old habits of pinching at wrong times and not hustling back In the play had reared it's ugly head. Buff is good. He's not elite tho
