Hey Jet fans, Just dropping in to congratulate you guys on an outstanding season thus far and here's wishing you a great run down the stretch. I've been a Bruin fan all my life, I just turned 55 this month and have been a core hockey fan as long as I can remember. I think the surprise trade all day was a stunner and that was Winnipeg aquisition of Paul Stastny. I can certainly understand why Brayden Schenn was just a little pissed off. He, along with his teammates knew how important of a piece Stastny was to their team and they got no immediate help right before the post season. For the life of me, I have no idea what Blue's management were thinking. Yes if that was a non playoff team, it would make sense even if it was a steal on Jets part. I mean Blues had a pretty strong team going into the playoffs and their biggest nemesis, Black Hawks are not even in post season this year. I honestly thought they would be one of the busier teams at the trade deadline but did not see this coming. I'm really happy it was you guys who feasted off them and I really hope it works out for the Jets and Stastny.
About 2 months ago, Moneypuck was predicting a Bruins/Jets Stanley Cup Final. I sorta laughed it off at the time even though Bruins at the time were theh hottest team in the league. No doubt they're 2 years ahead of Donny Sweeney's origional plan BUT I could see them winning a round or maybe even 2 but with such a young team and thinking about the grueling 82 game schedule, I thought no way, not Boston this year. YES, I could see Jets going all the way because they were a very tough team and solid from the netminder out.. Well I JUST took another peak and I'll be darned if they're not still picking Bruins and Jets to meet in Final with you Jets winning it all..I'll certainly take that and congratulate our former player Blake Wheeler.. That was 2011 we traded Blake and Mark Stuart for Rich Peverley and Boris Valabik.. We went on to win our 1st Stanley Cup since 1972 and I Honest to God and Sincerely hope the Stastny trade today will be looked back upon like us Bruin fans look back on the Peverley and Mark Recchi trades as you win your first Stanley Cup.. If that be the case, I'll be home here in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland cheering you guys on.. I'm sorry this was so long but I really wish all Winnipeg Jet fans the very very best..Seems like yesterday all Canada was celebrating the return of the Jets to Winnipeg and the hell out of Atlanta Thrasher Territory, St John's, NL was very happy to have your AHL affiliate.. Not bragging but with pride I can tell you they had superawesome fans, not only in St.John's but all over the province...Lol, I'm gonna stop now. All the best Jet fans and GO GET EM'.........GO JETS GO BRUINS SEE YOU IN JUNE!!!
