    I sure hope the team doesn't bank on Derrell Johnson like we are. We need at least one or two more guys that aren't on the roster today to push that spot in camp.

     

    Really drives me nuts how poor the coverage of mini camp was. Would love to know the type of perspective we get from fans who go to mini camp, not just quotes from coaches and stuff. Who looked good? Who didn't? Irving has a good eye for that stuff but my god, I think Wiecek has written about 6 articles in 3 days and I can't say there's even an ounce of football analysis in them. But if you want to hear about how the players got screwed out of breakfast, he's worth a read.

     

    We should send somebody to mini camp next year.

     

    You wouldn't even hear about breakfast if he didn't feel that he was screwed out of breakfast as well. All the guy does is whine about how much work he has to put in to cover the Bombers. Well....in a nutshell that's what he does.

     

    Wiecek?  Mesick.

     

    He is absolutely terrible.

  2. Home ice needs to be home ice tonight. We need that extra big hit, clutch save, PP goal... slight edge in all the key areas, and we'll be alright.

    Both teams will feed off the energy, we need to stay disciplined.

    Hopefully the crowd can rattle Anderson... a softy or 2 could be huge.

    Other than that, best players have to be our best players...

    Need a monster game from Buff, a responsible game from Ladd and SOME kind of offense from Little, Wheeler or Sheifs.

    Our backs are against the wall...and so far this season, that's been a good thing...

    3-2 Jets, with a big primary assist to the 15,016 clad in white.

    I'd be happy if he just showed any sign of a pulse.

    which will be ******** when the team is wearing dark......

    Flames fans wore red when the team was in white. Seemed to turn out alright.

     

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but if we start following what ******* FLAMES *fans* are doing........then I'm all the way out.....

     

     

    I don't think you are getting it, the Flame "fans" copied Winnipeg.  Winnipeg was the innovator.  The only thing that comes close for originality was the towel power of the 1982 Canucks.

     

    And the Canucks stole that from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  4. Trouba is still learning the NHL game....give him a break. He will soon be the best D man on the team and one of the best in the league.

    In no way was I jumping all over him, he just didn't seem like himself last night.  Chill.

     

    I love Trouba and what he brings to the team.  No doubt, he will one day be in the upper echelon of D-men in the NHL.

  5.  

    I wonder what Maurice thought of Pavs reaction to the goal. He glared at trouba and apparently made a WTF motion to him. As people have said, how often do the players do that to him when he lets in a bad goal? Never.

     

    I'm pretty sure most players don't worry about screening the goalie when they are out past the blue line.  

     

    Exactly.

  6. Little has a hamstring issue. For a while now too. This hurts us lots. Buff? Stings but Myers Toby Trouba lessens the blow. Losing little is tough.

    For what it's worth, Maurice said Little's injury is a new one.

     

    I did see him rubbing his shoulder/neck area during the game on Wdnesday.

  7. Frolik, Myers best of a bad lot. Stempy not too bad. Whither Tlusty.

    Bad lot? Don't think they played badly, outside of a few minutes in the 2nd.

    Out hit them, out shot them by a large margin and won the face off battle. Bad result, obviously, but not really a bad game... Just couldn't finish on their opportunities.

  8. Burmi would be an instant upgrade for the Jets. I'd regard playing for Maurice is the polar opposite of playing for Noel and I'm thinking Burmistrov would flourish under Maurice's system.

    But is there is time enough to get this done?

    Get it done for when?? It can't happen this season... It'll have to be next year.

  9.  

    Burmistrov said he'd never play for Uncle Claude again, but apparently has no beefs with Maurice and, for what it's worth, his agent says he's more than willing to play for the Jets next year. 

    But he's been replaced on the roster and he's already bailed on the Jets once, how do the Jets feel about him? Chevy is stubborn as a mule when it comes to trading but this is not one where the player has much chance returning. Like Kane he's just gotta make the move and get the value he can. 

     

    I’m not necessarily disagreeing, but who replaced him on the roster?  You don’t think Burmistrov on the 3rd line would be an upgrade?

    Hopefully he’s matured in the KHL and has decided to be a hard worker and good team-mate.

  10. Winnik is definitely not worth Burmi and a second, third or fourth.  Keep in mind, we went after Winnik before and he chose not to sign here, so there's a pretty good chance, if he were traded here, he wouldn't resign and would walk after the season.

     

    If we made that trade and didn't make the playoffs, then Winnik walks, people would lose their mind.  Likely the same people saying we NEED to do something before the deadline and think Winnik is our saviour.

     

    To be honest, the 'talent' available is pretty weak.
