Had a bit of a catastrophic event this morning. An upgrade gone horribly bad. Broke the server so daily database backups couldn't be used. Had to revert to a whole server backup which only occurs weekly ... on Tuesdays ... so yeah, almost a week wiped out. Not a good morning...

What's crazy this season is that there are now 3 Western teams who have clinched playoff spots. No Eastern teams. No Eastern team has a .500 or better record. Just like old times....

The agent has already made a name for himself with player holdouts. Ask Kyle Turris, Brandon Dubinsky, and Ryan Johansen.

Picks need to be in this week by Friday @ 6PM

It is unlikely cache as the game it is being advertised for is October 29. I've only ever seen them advertise for the "next" home game, so the October 29th game wouldn't have been cached.

Make sure everyone writes down exactly what they wore today and re-dresses for next time. Be a team player.

Wonder if this guy can resurrect his career with a change in scenery. Has to be considered a bust after being drafted 1st overall.

If they send Pav down, their overall budget doesn't really change. Both Pav and Hutch make the same in the AHL and NHL. They can save 570k if they send Helle down. That's not really worth it if they think Helle is their best option . Having said that, I don't think they send Pav down.

We were selling them at one point, but there wasn't really a demand for them. I think Noeller was one of the few who actually paid for one, others we gave away with contests. I might still have some kicking around somewhere.

How do you guys know your jerseys are no longer lucky? Maybe it was someone else who stopped wearing their jersey, and they are to blame. Never ever wash your jerseys again....

McDavid - 19 years and 266 days old. Previous was Landeskog at 19 years and 286 days old.

A preview of things to come?

http://3downnation.com/2016/10/04/madani-boatmens-ship-sinking-field-off/ Has the CFL priced itself out of selling out Grey Cups? Winnipeg also had trouble selling out last year with a significant reduction in overall seats compared to other Grey Cups. Or is this Toronto being Toronto?

I'm actually very curious to see if there is any impact on future players who are represented by Overhardt. Have to think the Jets will think twice before drafting a player represented by him again, Unless the player projects to be head and shoulders above anyone else on the board, go to your next pick. Not worth the trouble.

He is already taking very poor advice by missing training camp and the beginning of the season. It is interesting that if you look at most of Overhardt's players who have held out, all of them got traded shortly after they signed. Of course, most of the holdouts were about money, not "position" or location. Kyle Turis, Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Johansen. All held out. All traded within a year of signing.

It isn't a configurable option. If I had to guess, it is probably due to the fact that mods can edit anyone's post, and the software won't display that it was edited. If it makes you feel better other moderators can see when anyone edits any post, so I guess you will just have to trust us to "police" each other. Or simply ignore all of our posts if you really think they lack credibility due to the potential of being edited. It is interesting that moderators have always had this ability (and they do on pretty much any message board you will visit), but it apparently only now kills their credibility now that everyone has the ability to edit? Interesting perspective. I've made a change to the settings as a trial. Edited posts will now show a history of what was edited for 30 days. Moderator edits will still be hidden.

Strong defence through your top 6 is more then a Jets problem. It is a league wide problem and why top 4 defencemen fetch such a premium. This problem is only going to be exasperated with the Las Vegas expansion. Of course having a D-Man who was a top 10 draft pick decide he doesn't want to play with you after his ELC doesn't help.

Saw this on the Twitter feed. Sounds like a wild night.

Yeah, my interest in the World Cup died when North America was eliminated. Haven't watched a game since. The tournament really should have ended before training camp starts. Been more interested in the Jets preseason. Also been worried that Maurice will have missed a good part of TC. You want your coach to set the tone for the season, especially with all the younger players we have.
