Around the net....
Mike Condon put on waivers by MTL claimed by PIT then sold to OTT for 5th round pick. Gets shutout first game.

TOR phones Karri Ramo invite him over to try out.

Meanwhile in Winnipeg...
Meanwhile in Winnipeg, we have goaltending depth that most GMs are envious of.
Shutting out Vancouver? They are worst team in the NHL.

Thought they said on the broadcast that Thorburn would be joining the team in Detroit, he will probably have company.
Ah, good. Didn't hear that. Thanks!

I like the guy but he sure misses a lot of time to injuries.
Yeah, part of what makes Perrault great is the reason he gets hurt so much. If he were bigger and stronger, he would likely get paid a lot more and not play for the Jets.

More possible injuries after this game, if both Armia and Perreault are both out i guess it's Thorburn and ? in.
Isn't Thorburn away on a family matter?

Goaltenders are injured across the NHL.
Price and Lundkvist have not injured their knees... yet. Still another month before they start to need stretches of time off to heal.

Now, based on the spin that PoMo gave the other day, Lowry won't make the same mistake and lose his man, allowing the Craps to seal the win.

Don't call it a comeback....

That's just an awful contract. I wonder what the next best offer was. 7 years? Even if the money wasnt too much for Ladd, that length is atrocious.
It's made even worse with all the bonus money. Can't buy it out.
Albatross.

Rather sit Burmi and Thorbs and play Dano and Copp.
ESW
Laine MP Armia
Connor Lowry Dano
Tanev Copp ???
Help me out...who am I forgetting? Are the Jets able to call up one more player?
What is Stu's status?
I don't think Stafford and Myers are on IR.

Speaking of the Islanders...

That's interesting but not surprising.
I think Chevy was fortunate to keep Buff and not Ladd. Thank goodness Ladd held out for more money! He got it and the Islanders will be saddled with that contract for seven years.
The poor GM that replaces Snow will curse his name everyday.

Whether he saw it or not ir it changed direction, we need better goaltending than under .900 against the Caps or against anybody really. Nelle has a very average .914 this season and is 19th best in the league but I fully expect him to do better as he ages and I still see him and Comrie as our goalies when the Jets are hoisting the cup in spring of 2020.
I'm saying I don't think it changed direction.
What we need is for our goaltenders to get better. And they'll get better with experience.

I think more of the issue was Helle was screened on the play.
Possibly.

Look again. It deflects off Chiarot. It's actually pretty obvious when it does.
I don't agree. I see it hitting Helle's glove.
Look, right at the tip of the glove.

apparently he whined like a ***** on TSN today that, because of the fines etc, now his poor wife has to take a job. Get f***ed...
Let's pretend this is true for a moment. Imagine that conversation...
Maas: Honey, you need to get job.
Ms Maas: What? Why?
Maas: I'm not wearing a microphone and the CFL is going to fine me.
Ms Maas: Why don't you want to wear a microphone?
Maas: On principle.
Ms Maas: Well, do other coaches have to wear them?
Maas: Oh yes. So, can you start looking?
Ms Maas: Oh for sure. But I'm not taking any job where I can't dictate the exact terms of my employment. Where I'll only follow the rules that I want.
Maas: What? Why?
Ms Maas: On principle.

So the professors at the University of Manitoba went on strike today. Haven't seen anyone talking about how this might impact the Bombers.
If we do in fact host a playoff game AND the strike continues for another 2 weeks, what are the chances the professors would setup picket lines on Sunday during the game? It would have a huge impact on game day for people getting in and out. Or is there little chance the profs will come in on a Sunday to picket?
1 minute ago, Goalie said:The last strike lasted 4 days. This one probably won't last for 2 weeks lol.
Getting out of IGF is so slow anyhow, I don't know if we would notice the difference.
If we win, we won't care but if we lose, we may join them on the picket line!
--------------------
This strike may have a longer horizon. The administration has been trying to change how the professors are being evaluated. So far, UMFA has blocked the changes but this could be the big one. Both sides are dug in.

What row?....
Wait I'm in 233, so I think I'm safe LOL. I'm loud but try to tone down the swearing.
Nope, can't hear anyone from 233. He's in row 3 and I sit almost directly in front of him in row 1.
For the most part, the "accused" is okay. He just sounds obnoxious and should really just keep the volume down. No one else wants to hear his opinion on why the Bombers play poorly. But it's a sporting event, so it's expected.
And, he rarely swears. If he did more frequently, I would politely ask him not to.
We all rant and rave in 234 but we keep it to a conversation level amongst those around us. He does not.
All in all, it could be far worse. I probably get more agitated by it when the Bombers are losing (or when he badmouths Westerman).

Do you happen to sit in 211? Cause there's one behind me, that's the worst!!!
No, I'm in 234.
For the most part, we're a pretty quiet section. We get loud for the defense and chat amongst ourselves but we don't rant and rave. That is, except for this one individual.
He's mostly just trying to get attention but sometimes he crosses the line with his language. I try to ignore it, so that my son does not pick up on it, but sometimes it gets bad. Saturday, was one of those days.

Burmistrov has no trade value even as a throw in, he will be a RFA at the end of the year and will probably bolt to Russia again.
Still an RFA? Holy macaroni...
He must have arbitration rights. So, what does that mean for the Jets? They can let him walk to the KHL and still hold his rights when he gets back? Or is that it?

You won't have to worry. With the mindset we were in, in that game, you'd miss.
I'm not sure what was worse, the play on the field or the blowhard in my section ranting and raving the entire game.
-
Thanks but I'll just punch myself in the face half a dozen times. That will be less painful.
-
I think the one thing that saved Burmi was his defensive play. I'm not sure PoMo can afford to have him in the line-up anymore.
I think Burmi sits until he's moved or forced into action through injury.
Of course, I can never predict what the Jets are going to do.
-
Oh boy, this game could go south really quickly.
Hope Myers is back for this one.

If she went into med school then she did so right out of high school and shes in her 3rd year. Not too sure many people take a couple of years off before entering med school.
Assuming same age as Trouba.
All speculation.
Yeah, not many people take time off before going to med school but ALL complete and undergrad before going to med school.
She wouldn't be in med school out of high school.

No, let Phillips play. They need to play in games to get better.
Let Pav stay where he is. He's providing a veteran presence and, by all accounts, has been truly professional about the situation.
