AND NOW, A TACTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE WORLD'S 5 GREATEST ANTI-JET WEAPONS …

5. SA-2 GUIDELINE

The oldest SAM still widely employed throughout the Third World, this Soviet-built system scored the first ever surface-to-air missile kill, when it downed CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers in his U-2 spy plane in 1960.

4. MIM-104 PATRIOT
The centerpiece of the US Army's air defense capability, it is primarily employed against SCUD-type ballistic missiles. However, it is extremely capable against helicopters and jet aircraft, or (in proper air defense lingo) "air-breathing targets."

3. ZSU-23-4
This short-range anti-aircraft gun is called a "Zeus" by most troops but a "HOLY ****, IT'S A ****ING ZEUS!" by low-flying helicopter pilots unlucky enough to be caught in its crosshairs. This highly-mobile system aims its 4x 23 millimeter gun barrels with the help of a target tracking radar (the round bit up on top), but can also be used as an anti-personnel / anti-armor weapon.

2. AIM-120 AMRAAM
The "Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile" is the US and NATO standard radar-guided missile for all fighter jets. Possessing an active radar seeker which provides a unique "launch-and-leave" capability, the AMRAAM is responsible for 9 aircraft kills and thousands of sleepless nights among Russian, Chinese, Iranian and North Korean pilots. FOX-3!!!

1. Mike Smith
U mad bro? This lightning rod of a goaltender recently returned from the Sochi Olympics with a gold medal in hand, a claim no Winnipeg Jet can match. Four WPG players went to Sochi and returned with a grand total of 1 medal, a fact made even more depressing by the thought of leaving warm, sunny Sochi and returning to Winnipeg, where the current temperature is a balmy -23 degrees.

Tip says everyone is available tomorrow so I'd guess DeMo plays. Likely puts Summers in the pressbox, would love to see him get in over Schlem/Stone though and see how he does.

I love that Coyotes hockey is back. I can returned to my regularly scheduled evenings after work. What's going on with Gormley? Is he up and playing, or was that something that is going to happen later on?

Jim Slater in, Peluso out. Wright will play wing.

Ken Wiebe ‏@WiebeSunSports 4m

Looks like Paul Maurice had a change of heart about lineup. Jim Slater between Chris Thorburn and James Wright on fourth line #NHLJets

PS good luck Yotes fans!

Im betting this will be a low showing game... and we'll lose.

You know, i said USA wouldn't medal.. and it had more to do than one or two players not being on the team.

Anyway, hopefully I'm wrong... and we actually win in Peg for once.

I've already watched two NHL games since the end of the break (both of them last night - DET @ MTL and STL @ VAN). The best way for me to describe the way they've looked is "hung over". Wouldn't surprise me if it was the same tonight.

Looks interesting. Still wish Stone would just go away though. McMillan had better be wearing the number 42. :P

I watched the other two games last night. Buffalo actually looked good, but this was already their second game. The L.A/COL game was interesting. The AV's PP is dangerous, and they are going to be playing pissed on Friday. Also, all four teams had their backups in.

The Jets outwork us every time we play, so I'm guessing that happens again and we lose.

Makes sense ... I'm betting all 3 medalists start the game, and all McMillan has to do on that line is hustle his ass off.

Evander Kane looks like he's playing his first game back after injury tonight ... gotta keep tabs on him. I have no idea who Mark Scheifele is, but that 2nd line still looks scary!

Go Yotes Go!

Why would anyone want Summers over Schlemko or Stone? He had a look see last year and was not impressive. Mind you that was last year, but he sure has not impressed me when he did play.

Because Schlem and Stone are equally unimpressive. Summers is hitting last chance territory which could spur him on to perform better than what we've seen in previous call ups.

Oh yeah, just got an offer from the interview I had yesterday.

Oops, posted this in the wrong thread. Only thing that would make this hockey related is if the Coyotes got a win in honor of my achievement. :)
