Won't make the game any better or more exciting,  just makes it more grinding on the outside. Smaller rink forces more play towards the middle. 

I don't buy that at all, creative players will take advantage of the extra open space, grinders will ***** and complain they can't clutch and grab.

No because defenders will still defend the same parts of the ice, ie, the front of the bet leaving all sorts of room on the outside for players to **** around in. It does not make the game any more exciting just more perimeter play. Smaller rink there is less uncontested room so you're forcing guys to make plays towards the dangerous parts.

Has anyone in the media even asked about Schoen? All I have seen is "not at practice".

Yes, in Tait's piece from yesterday, Osh was asked if he had any update on Schoen and his answer was.......and I'm quoting here.... "Nope."

I think that means he isn't playing, but what do I know.

Osh will NEVER reveal a player's injury situation. All he said in addition to "Nope" on the update, was that they're confident they have a lot of really good players who understand the entire offense from all the angles, so they can step up and play any of the receiver positions.

By who?

I think you're being obtuse or simply ignorant of the hockey world if you claim not to be aware of the expectations of the Jets 3-4 years ago.

I heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend that he wasn't practicing.

Was at the game tonight and the Jets need to start looking at what the Bombers are doing there is no comparison between the two. Also, I got a hot dog and bottled drink it was $17 at IG Field I could have got 4 hot dogs and a large drink for that price. 

I had a "Jets Dog" last year at the Teemu game against Anaheim and it was awful.  Totally burned bun, flavorless too.  Not buying one of those again.

Nothing will ever beat the hotdogs from the big steamer at the old stadium

Obtuse nothing, the jets were never seen as a perennial contender after their good season. Maybe by over excited jets homers,  but no one seriously believed that team was at that level.

The Jets were considered a cup contender and definitely in the Top 10 and some top 5 lists in 2018-19. That's an easily verifiable fact. Those articles and previews are still on the inter-web,

Clueeeeeeless. Those Oilers though, those are the REAL contenders, amirite. No homerism amongst that fanbase getting shelled year after year without addressing any of the same issues

The riders were considered contenders similarly during our reign. The jets are the rough riders of the nhl, fan base and all.

Only if their goaltenders refrain from shitting their pants. Which is an iffy proposition considering what they have. But hey mcdavid and draisailt can outscore a lot of problems so who knows.

 

Here is the thing, the jets were never more than  dark horse contenders that some people picked to seem edgy.

That ain't even Schoen, I think it's Hardrick!

O'Shea's taking his trickery too far.
