Myers says he's good to go tomorrow night but it might be a bit early for Buff to expect to play, let's pray

And Monday didn't completely suck this week.... go figure...

and GO JETS GO!

"Big game tomorrow"...

[Goalie]

Myers and Buff both possible for tomorrow, Postma done for the season it sounds like with a significant lower body injury? Broken leg? What happened to him, thought he played quite well and to be honest, when he was on the powerplay, thought we actually looked much better than normal. It's been said before but tomorrow really is a huge game for us, win and basically can eliminate the sharks really. Play like we did vs Tampa and this team will be tough to beat their remaining games. That's how we need to play to win, it's nice to see that they got back to playing that strong defensively smart hockey, I hope it lasts and if it does, this team may surprise some people if they get to the playoffs.

How unlucky for Paul Postma. Hasn't been in the starting lineup since early January, plays a solid game, out with injury. Geez.

[Jimmy Pop]

I feel bad for Postma; solid teammate, and a solid dude (from what I'm told.. my GF volunteered with him at Siloam Mission last fall).

What I couldn't help think about....

Postma doesn't play for 2 months, no peep out of him, comes back, plays 23 mins and is praised for his solid play.

Meanwhile, Pavs doesn't play for a couple weeks, comes back, plays well but blows the game (STL, obvs), and afterwards it's all about how he hasn't played in awhile, he was screened etc.

 

Methinks, the younger Postma could teach Pavelec a thing or two about being a pro...

...that said, not a bash-Pavelec post... he played well on Saturday. Do we think Maurice goes back to him vs SJ?

Gotta go with Pavs.  If he goes with Hutch and Hutch plays poorly, its a full blown goalie controversy.  Pavs played well and has earned the start.  Plus, Pavs has admitted that he's one bad goal away from not playing again so the pressure is on him to perform and he usually does better under pressure.

I'd start Pavelec in our next game, but not b/c of any supposed controversy. Play him b/c he's had a good game more recently than Hutchinson has. Hutch hasn't been good enough lately to have his feelings hurt over potentially losing a start.

Hutch is a rookie and a good team mate, he dont have hurt feelings.  But by controversy I mean the sense that they dont have a starter.

 

As an aside, heard that Hutch has tied the franchise record for wins by a rookie goaltender.  Will almost certainly break the record.

When I hear things like this I think....who? Pokey Reddick? Daniel Berthiaume? Bob Essensa? Then I remember...wrong franchise...

[The Unknown Poster]

As near as I can tell without spending much time on it, wins by rookies in Jets 1.0 history:

Berthiaume: 18

Pokey: 21

Essensa: 6 or 18 depending on when he was considered a rookie

Khabi: 8

Hutch is at 20. He should set the record either way.

Pokey friggin' Reddick. Wow.

Pokey and the Bandit there

And people were wondering why the 80's were high scoring.
