I heard there was going to be a Mark Wheeler tribute video...

Here's a preview...

So weird what is going on with Ehlers. Every season we expect him to take the reigns and pop off, but always hits hurdles or gets neglected by coaches. Wonder if something is going on behind the scenes.

With regards to the power play, this is the right move. Ehlers is not a fit on PP1 with that group. He's a shooter but they already have three shooters on that unit with Connor, Scheifele and Morrissey. The second unit was using Schmidt as their primary shooter with Pionk as a backup. This swap will do wonders for both units. This is not a punishment for Ehlers, it's proper utilization of players on a struggling power play.

I had some strange thoughts while crunching through breakfast with my AP newsfeed. The big story was a hockey player dying from a freak accident during a game in Britain. Thousands of tributes, every website expressing regrets.

Last night's shooting in Tampa Bay had 18 victims but was dismissed by a county official with "only 2 died"

Last night's shooting in Chicago had 30 people hit but "fortunately only 4 died".

In America on Sunday, there were SIXTY-FOUR incidents of mass shootings which one AP commentator said resulted in ONLY 14 people dead.

It's like living in some futuristic science-fiction novel worse than The Handmaid's Tale.

And in really relevant news: am I the only person who had Count Chocula for breakfast this morning?

Your Count Chocula has been invaded by a Franken Berry world...

Agree. They need to get the PP working, and also need to be ruthless in terms of prioritizing whichever one IS working.

Won't be able to catch a game for a while, so good luck with what I imagine will be an emotional Jets win tonight, and hopefully a bunch more coming up, ye faithful.

I finished off a box of BooBerry last week. Does that count?

Jets soar, Rangers clash,
Ice rink battle, hearts afire,
Victory takes flight.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

UVALDE, TX—In the hours following a violent rampage in Texas in which a lone attacker killed at least 21 individuals and injured several others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the...

Always been on Team Frankenberry. Had some before bed last night. Slept like a baby.

I think it's all between dear Niks ears.

I hope he figures it out, I've always loved the guy

Don't get me started about America and their guns , weird how none of these mass shootings get stopped by another American with a gun . And i love Count Chocula .

I hear you.

Used to be that any mass shooting in the US would be top of the news, even in Canada. Now, I fear we've just gotten so used to it and so numb from it that it doesn't register unless it's crazy like the one in Maine. I needed to go search these out. Bonkers.

I said this before the PLD LA game... I fully expect Wheeler to break out of his goal drought against us tonight. PLD came in to the MTS Center without a goal all season and potted one, Armia goal-less and in the AHL to start the season, scores one against us. Laine put up multiple points last year. Every Jet when returning seems to put on a show with the exception of Trouba so prepare yourself for Wheeler to score.

Probably an empty netter.

That's a terrible terrible thing the Adam Johnson deal. I mean...there's lots of bad stuff going on in the US and around the world. But I feel for the people who witnessed that in the arena because it was an awful thing for sure.

Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest thread while you still have time...

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

I hope in the video tribute for Wheels they include the interview with Sara where he says "thanks man! Uhhh.. lady.. um sorry" and slinks away

He was probably looking at her hands right before he made that mistake, understandably.

The Donald Street store had no Shreddies. And Quaker Oats were flying off the shelf. Who has time to cook oatmeal.

Oh ya, that guy with no teeth. He must have played hockey.

 

[raideralex99]

WRT Adam Johnson. Have you seen the video of the incident? Are there murder charges coming for Matt Petgrave?

That's sick he should be charged seriously he sticks his leg up in the air to stop Adam Johnson who was carrying the puck into the zone. The sad part was it was off side too.
Also Matt Petgrave is the goon on the team so I'm pretty sure he knows all the dirty tricks.
