They have to bring in a UFA next season. If it means they'll be overpaying then so be it. We can't throw away another year in net as we did this season. The Jets with solid goaltending could be a contender for at least a playoff spot. They aren't with the goaltending they're getting now. Yeah, they won last night with Helleybuyck in goal but how may have they lost because he couldn't make the save when he had to? They can't have another young goalie & a youth movement in net. So, throw away Option 1. Even Option 2 won't work. There shouldn't be a competition. Hellebuyck should backup. If fans want him to develop then let him develop behind a veteran. Play 20 games & see what happens.

They have to do something.

That's not funny & pretty irresponsible. At least show it's a fake tweet.
-
And the team that doesn't win makes changes. All except the Jets. They get a pass because we should just be glad we have a team in the NHL.
-
That's pretty heavy stuff. Isn't that what dictators do?

The guy is a professional hockey player. Hellebuyck gets paid to win. Not to play. We can spin our wheels on the guy or move on to someone better. Cheveldayoff got us in this situation by overestimating his value as a player & making him the #1 goalie here when he clearly wasn't ready. I have no interest in waiting if he develops. If he does with us great. If not, then maybe with another team. That happens all the time so if it happens then so be it. But to wait to find out if he does develop into a legit #1 when goaltending is killing us nearly every game? Sorry no.

Why have any Canadians then?

Not convinced about Hellebuyck. I remember Marc Behrend. He was supposed to be the first great American goalie for the Jets 1.0 & he fizzled out in the 80's. Now we've got The Next One in Connor Hellebuyck. As I said before, I've never seen anything from Helle that shows me he has the potential to be the quality starting goalie long term that a couple of you guys keep saying he is. He doesn't need a quality backup behind him. He needs to be the backup or belongs in the AHL. We need to do something at that position. Fast. Marc Behrend

This is not #fakenews. This is #realnews. We raise windows in Alberta.

They are a disappointment. Everything sucks from the goaltending out. Some bright spots offensively with Laine & Ehlers as well as Wheeler & Scheifle. Trouba has played well since his return. However, more scrutiny should be on this entire organization & the way it's trying to build a contender. It's about time they were questioned.

When the people in charge think they matter more than the locker room themselves that is when the problems start. And have continued now for nearly 5 years on Raw. Hunter in his 40's can still wrestle. I don't know how much but I have a feeling if he wasn't married to Stephanie he'd still be going full time. The problem is he squashes everyone. Then there's Stephanie & we have had long discussions about her. Together those 2 are killing Raw. Things won't change unfortunately. You can't tell them anything else as they won't listen.

Chasing the ever elusive NFL dream. Really good CFL player but there are a hundred guys down there as good or better than him.

I find Shane lets Bryant get more air time to do his GM thing so the show works better. Whereas Stephanie & Triple H have to have more TV time than Foley. Shane doesn't throw his weight around as a heel. But it's WrestleMania time so Shane has to go to work in the ring once again.
-
TF, SD is the better show by a mile... For me, Raw is such a turnoff that I really don't care about SD anymore. But Shane & Daniel Bryant at least have chemistry while Foley & Stephanie sure don't. It's a shame Raw is dragging everything down with it.

Parents are a problem in any sport. Thing is, where are the parents of the other kids to put this Dad in his place & to tell him to shut the hell up? Curling is a bit different from hockey & football that way. There are only 4 players with no true head coach unless they are a nationally ranked team. I used to be a head football coach & I never let parents act that way around me. I cut a kid once on the spot because the father was an *******. He gave me & one of my assistant grief over a number of practices making us know just how unhappy he was. I just said enough & cut the kid. He gave me no other as he was becoming more disrespectful & beligerent. We don't get paid as coaches & don't need Daddy demanding more playing time as well as yelling & cursing us out. I never regretted doing it, either. He was shocked & went from being angry to begging me to change my mind which I didn't. Hopefully, he learned his lesson. I just remember the kid crying going to the car & his wife screaching at the guy just before she closed her car door, "WHAT DID YOU SAY???!!!!" Bet that was a great car ride home for that loser.

They didn't play very smart being up 5-2. If that was Kevin Martin, Coe would have been shut down the rest of the way. Control the hammer, play conservatively, Go with the percentage shots.

She's the reason I can barely watch Raw anymore. Then Hunter comes in & insults, bullies & intimidates Mick Foley. Then to top off his night he lays a beat down to Seth Rollins. Another hack job done to perfection by the McMahon- Helmsleys. Just about totally done with Raw because of those 2. I like Smackdown a lot more but to be honest I don't watch that much of Smackdown either as there are other shows I prefer over wrestling on Tuesdays. Having a shitty Raw really affects Smackdown negatively as well, I believe. Right now, despite the talent the WWE is a turnoff because of the politics going on.
-
AJ Styles put Shane through a car window. I don't know if that was special glass or what but the guy is sure willing to take huge bumps for the family business. The laceration to his head looked real but it's the WWE so reality might just be fantasy.
-
You can't blame just coaching. Personnel decisions by Chevy play into this equation. Our GM is like a Teflon Don with the media. Nothing sticks to him. Both guys will get extensions & truthfully don't deserve it.
-
Stephanie McMahon is just toxic. Unreal.
-
Changed it for ya.
-
Strategy lost that game for McEwen. Manitoba has the best curlers in the country but it never wins Briers anymore. Frustrating as hell.
-
Same old authority bullshit that has been going on now for 5 or 6 years. Tired of it. Fans are tired of it yet it's thrown in our face every week. Result? People watch Smackdown. I've half given up on Raw thinking it'll get better but it won't. I used to watch all 3 hours now if I watch the last 45 minutes that's pretty generous.

Watching the sad ending to Raw tonite. No wonder Smackdown gets better ratings. Stephanie & Triple H just suck the life out of Raw & have for years now.
