Good for Thomas Milic getting the call to the Spengler. Still have hope he'll be an NHL goaltender for the Jets one day...

Man, really solid game against a very good team.  Impressive.  If you didn’t think it before, you have to think it now…. Jets are legit.

45 5 on 5 goals against in 32 33 games is elite 

at this point I'd trade Stanley for Robert Frost.  Or find a way to combine both players and have Morgan Stanley.

Would be nice if we had our top scorer for this one.  FU Strome!!

If we get our special teams sorted out, we could be an elite contender. 5 on 5 we are incredibly strong. 

If he was smart he'd sign another 1 yr deal here...with some starter caveats in it...if ZC falters or goes down...why ruin your luster going into the complete unknown and possible abyss somewhere else....stay where u are comfortable and actually making strides.....one more yr wont kill his earning potential in long run.....running off and being an epic flop elsewhere will tho...Think of James Franklin...looked good in the system he grew into and was showing potential to be next big thing....moved on...fizzled out.... a lil smaller sample size than Dru as Dru has 3 yrs under his belt as opposed to 2 like Franklin...but when he left Edm he looked nothing like he was there in T.O

Nichols back on a two year deal. Great signing.

dunno...it's not out yet so will get back to you if I see one...but if Jackson is on it eating up a DA spot thats an epic fail if we didnt draft, or find and actual Canadian guy to fill the role via free agency or already on the roster...And if Thomas is back taking reps...another fail....Same with Kolo at center....

this. Patrick was a really good player for the Wheaties.... injuries just derailed what would have been a productive NHL career. BIG difference between him and guys like Daigle, Yak and PoolParty...

To me, there's a difference between players would could not live up to their expectations and a player who, due to health issues, didn't get the chance to.  We'll never know what Patrick could have done had he been healthy but we know what a healthy Daigle & Yakupov did.

Too bad we didnt
Solid depth signing for teams and rotation...but if we can't do better for that position than not sure what our staff is doing other than standing pat and not striving to be our best team
He's also 27 next TC so is/was that his ceiling? If so...we def can be better

And this is one of the biggest problems.  The inconsistencies.  The refs just arbitrarily making calls that they’ve ignored previously, then missing a blatant penalty and turning around and calling a tickytac infraction that has no effect on the play.
Just be friggin consistent.  Set the precedent early and STICK WITH IT.  At least then the players will know where they stand.

Neufeld was his usual steady self. No issues with him coming back at the right price. Kola you have to let go to FA. Eli needs to be in that spot in '24. Let Dobson duke it out with Gray for LG. 

That's all well and good... but what's the succession plan for the OL then? Cause I don't really want to see them carry 7 on the roster again. It's a bit of a waste of a spot... if Eli and Dobson are that good shouldn't they be playing? 
Guess it can all work out if they simply replace the centre with Eli.

this was what Gretzky always said.... the players don't care if you're going to call things super tight, or you're going to let everything go... but be consistent about it so they know. Nothing they hate more than never knowing what is or isn't going to get called.

******* garbage reffing all night.
Shouldn't have been on the pp in the first place 

Vilardi is making me happy PLD did not want to stay here. 

Exactly what I said to my wife…. There’s no way the call was ‘confirmed’.  That’s BS.

Everyone went to Bomber games with an onion on their belt, as was the style at the time. But yellow ones, not the white ones, because of the war.

Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say.
