You fight someone with helmet on and you take your chances. Helmet usually wins.

Stafford was completely different than trading for a rental player. Stafford was one of five pieces the Jets acquired in that trade. If they had traded a first or second round pick straight up for Stafford - a traditional trade deadline deal - I would have been strongly opposed to that. Instead of giving up pieces of the future like picks or prospects (Kasdorf had no future here), they acquired two prospects and a pick. What they gave up was two players with fixed term and salary. The reason players like Stafford are called rental players is because teams give up something of value for 3 months of their time, after which they are gone and the team is left with less than what they started. Unless they win the cup. In 3 months time the Jets will still have more than what they started with, even if Stafford doesn't stay. In the mean time he fills holes created by injuries. He isn't a rental player, he is a bonus on top of the other players we'll keep as part of this deal. Rentals are UFA's traded to teams that think they have a chance to win the cup.

Yeah...from Ladd, Little & Wheeler Well, they tried tonight especially Wheels.

Let the panic begin. Bad night for Hutch. Pardy good game. Should have pulled the Winnik trade yesterday.

Surround yourself with the honey's DT! Oooh Scheif breaks out of another slump!

This year: 30-20-10=70 points Last year: 28-26-6 = 62 points Jets missed playoffs last year by 8 points.

A lil early but what the heck. - HNIC 6PM - Hutch to start - SJ 2pts behind us in Wild Card race - Toronto 2nd game in 2 days Can't lose this one.

Kinda amazing that Ovech has not got a cup yet. Most great players get at least one sip. They just seem to make their teams better.

Play Toronto Saturday...that feeling...that you might lose to Toronto...

Not enuf shots, too many penalties and well Pav.

As per Ken Wiebe "Sean Bergenheim has asked to be traded and #FlaPanthers are planning to accommodate him. What would you give up to get him if you're the GM?"

They won't see us/Pav coming. Jets win this one.

Maybe COL would want Postma. Things worked out well with them and Redmond and Postma is about the same type of player.

Scheif although giving 100% just ain't hitting the back of the net this year. Lots of pipe tho. Damn that sophomore jinx.

Just move a word, and viola! Buffalo was a perfect storm for that trade. They saw a couple of players they wanted, had a couple of pieces that fit our needs that they also needed to move, and would be able to take a bigger step towards guaranteeing the first overall pick while doing it. That's not going to happen again. The asking price for Vermette will be stupidly high, just like it always is for that type of player at this time of year, because there's always at least one team willing to pay it. Teams are trying to re-build using those players as chips, they aren't going to take our offer of the hockey equivalent of pocket lint. I have yet to see anything from Postma that doesn't suggest he'll play in the AHL for five more years before having a successful career in a European league. Every other defenceman who has graced our roster this year and last has shown me more than Postma. Redmond, Clitsome, Pardy, Chariot, Harrison, and even Ellerby. Any trade that happens involving Postma; he's going to be the Jason Kasdorf of the deal. A throw-in to help grease the wheels. If there was only 1 superstar available in the draft, EDM might move one of the big 3 but alas first/second picks are both good so they won';t do anything.

Surprising that we NOT last.

Has to beat Ehlers to make lineup

Patent cases are hit or miss. Sometimes you're happy someone won and sometimes you're pissed off someone won. I remember someone owned madonna.com and had to give it up. Hey if they registered it first good on them.

What;s the deal with this guy? Know nothing about him except he's 29, 6g17a in 55games and mysteriously has a great +/- on a not good team.

I won't go as far to say Chariot better then Myers but I see Myers as #6 defensively. Playing with lil Toby just seems like a mistake.

Whew!

Give EDM credit though, unlike Buffalo they are not deliberately tanking to get the #1 pick and STILL have a chance at it.

Thought he had it I would have dressed Pav though. If we lost, we could just blame Pav.

Almost want to use the word "Deadmonton" but I know better as this team as a decent record against Jets v2.
