I just hope the Leafs can go on a major streak in the last few weeks. Well, it doesn't matter, even if they get #1 they will probably trade it away for some veteran or make a "surprise" pick that will knock the socks off the hockey world.

I think the Leafs are pretty focused under the new leadership. Vancouver on the other hand

Regarding the game: Jets looked awesome for 20 minutes, then very good for another 20 minutes and then very "meh" for another 20 minutes.
Burmi had a great game, best Jet imo. It seems like he tends to do better with better linemates instead 4th liners.... too bad he's still not really putting up points so that won't get him into the top 6. Other than that I was actually pretty happy with the outcome. Play good, dominate a playoff team for stretches and still find a way for your tank commander to come through.
Just finished watching the game ( was in minneapolis too see the Boss , what a show !!!! ) Jets all over the opposition , opposition gets ONE scoring chance on the sieve and ..... GOAL !!! Pavelec has done this the whole time he has been a Jet , i can't imagine how this deflates the team !!
No - I went to a beer tasting and then out for more drinks. And more drinks. I watched bits of the game on my phone.
Wow, I'm hurtin' this morning.
Only if we get the puck there. Getting the puck to the front of the net seems to be a logical thing to do, but we seldom do it. We spend so much time cycling that we don't usually attack. It was nice to see a couple of times that we varied that approach last night and hopefully it's something that we start to do more often.

Enjoy your flight
Aside from the odd mistake and that Luongo is so much better than Pavs, I thought it was a good game. A young team full of rookies managed to dominate the top team in the Atlantic for two periods. To a casual observer, you'd think we were a top 4 team in the league and not a bottom 4 team.

I whole ******** of more skill than any of them
None of those 4 will be on the team next year, Dano will be a real solid middle 6 player. Lipon is never going be more than a 12th/13th forward, doubt he ever plays 75 games or more in a season. He is quite overrated here

Except that Schief, Ehlers and Armia were scorers in other leagues, Dano never was.
I'm assuming you don't think much of the NHL then?
He was on pace to score 17-18G with the Blue Jackets, pro-rated to a full year.

Better ppg pace over more than half a season than Jonathan Drouin at the same age. You know other than that...
Blaming Dano for being too good for juniors at a much younger age than any of those players

With two NHL franchises giving up on him already, but then again you know more than most...

Trading a player doesn't really mean giving up on someone. Do you "give up" on having money when you pay your mortgage? "I'm tired of having this money, guess I'll spend it on housing".
He was a coveted piece in those trades, and a big part of why Saad went the other way in the CHI - CBJ trade. But I guess you could spin it as he was unwanted.

Not sure what that has to do with this being the worst year for the franchise since before the move.
lol... yeah.
let's see... traded for Saad and traded for Ladd. sounds like a fairly highly valued prospect, actually.

Artem Anisimov, Marko Dano, Jeremy Morin and Corey Tropp and a fourth-round selection in the 2016 draft went to Columbus for Saad.
Pretty sure the first round pick in 2016 the Jets received for Ladd was a bigger part of the deal than the Dano throw in.
I don't dislike Dano, seems like a good kid, just don't like the hype that he is some kind of emerging star.

How can they go wrong with proven AHL management?
Alright I have said this once before but not as in depth as I will say it now:
Chipman and Thomson (Richest man in the NHL) have gradually bought out TNSE's other shareholders to gain sole ownership of the company. They have, are and will continue to build a NHL Hockey Enterprise that will be the envy of all NHL Teams and fans.
Chipman and Thomson not only want to win the Stanley Cup once but they also want to build a franchise that continuously stays in the top three teams in the NHL while never ever having to do a major rebuild.
How do you say?
Well you start off with high caliber drafting and then develop your young players and you continuously stay young by not following what the rest of the NHL CAP Teams are doing. For when the Winnipeg Jets stay young guess what happens when your selling/trading some of the top producing NHL Stanley Cup Champion players at around the age of 27 ish for this continuously gives you your #1 picks and lower picks year after year after year period so your team forever stays young, always has great prospects coming up and you are always a contender year after year and forever more!.
This is what True North Sports & Entertainment is all about.
And we are so lucky to have them and all you have to do is believe, its also called having faith in True North Management, Coaching, Players and every old, young and new Winnipeg Jets fan.
Go Jets GO!
Go Jets GO!
Forever More!

I was at the game last night. In my unbridled pre-season optimism, I backloaded my games - so I have a lot over the next month. This appears to have been a bit of a bad gamble...
Although I wouldn't say getting to watch the 4th line out there for 11 minutes was a treat exactly, it was nice to see Copp getting some extra time on ice.
The Jets just dominated that game for the first two periods. It felt like a Moose game with that huge shot imbalance - except the Panthers were the Moose. A big part of the Jets success was that Florida wasn't forechecking much - you give the Jets time to figure out their zone exits and they will do an admirable job. The cycle was going well for the Jets too - but again, I think Florida was just going through the motions for the first 40 minutes.
Unfortunate penalties and Pavelecian goaltending were the ultimate downfall. Luongo's still good. Only 6 years after this one to go on his deal... Though really, you can't say he hasn't held up his end of the bargain so far.
The atmosphere is so subdued at MTSC these days. It's a little sad. I'm part of the problem - I just can't get too fired up about anything. It takes a lot of the stress out of watching the game, but I really miss it. It's gonna be a long March...maybe I should drink more?

Every year in their history has been down. Either no playoffs or no playoff wins. This is not an exceptional year. It is the norm. Also every year but one with either Chevy or his old boss / mentor Wedell as GM.

Was at the game last night, made sure I watched Dano.
Didn't seem like he had the puck on his stick too often, but his line definitely controlled the play when they were out there. Seemed to generally be in the right position all the time and didn't make any mistakes. Was set up in the slot a couple times where he would have had a good chance but the offensive black hole that is Lowry could not find him. Thought his line worked well together cycling the puck, I think if you put someone with more skill in between him and Armia that could be a really solid line. Lowry, IMO is a glorified 4th liner and would make a great 4th line C but nothing more.

So being one of the three worst teams is the same as drafting 13th?
If you don't see a clear difference in this season versus all the others since the return then I can't help you. We have essentially been eliminated from the playoffs a month or more earlier then we have been in the last five years. Every other year we still have an outside shot at the playoffs. This year there ain't a chance in hell. This is very clearly a "down" year compared to most.

Really don't know why Maurice hasn't flipped Copp and Lowry for a look, I was never that high on Copp but his goal yesterday was a beauty and took skill!

I sold yesterday's game - I do have 3 games left that appear to be meaningless - but one I'll get to see McDavid, and the other 2 are my birthday and last game/bobblehead night. I'll keep those ones I think - but not really going in hoping for the win.
