Agree with everything here. I also thought Pav had the stronger game among the 2 goalies. Was that a 2 on none when we had the powerplay? You know it's strange, we get healthier and we don't win. Funny dat. Death to the NYRangers all I can say at this point and go whomever plays L.A. next. Chicago plays LA tonight...

What a load of ****!!!

It should have said "with a partner".

Forget about style, compare their pictures. They could father and son. Fyp.

There is something to be said for the politics in Canadian hockey. There are only so many spots on junior teams, and a lot of players are extremely similar in size and skill. I can see if there is a recognizable NHL name on the jersey, that kid is probably going to get some favorable treatment. I look at Ben Hawerchuk's numbers with the Barrie Colts and I wonder if he'd even be playing junior hockey if his dad didn't own the team.

If in my job I had the power to kill 150 people just by pressing a button, my concerns about whether a camera is being pointed at me really shouldn't matter.

It won't be long now before the pilots are phased out. Too many planes going down still due mostly to human error. Or from what it looks like in this case, a seriously deranged pilot.

Bring us the Cup and then Willy can name his price. Walters will look at it and shake his head, but at least he can name it.

Of all the teams the Jets lose to it had to be the ****-bag Canucks. Sigh...

In the off season the Jets just need to trade for Ryan Reaves and Alex Steen and we are all good. 2017 - draft Ben Hawerchuk in the first round. When are Teemu's kids draft eligible?

Back to back games - gotta give Hutch the start against the Oilers so Pavs is fresh for the Canucks. I can't tell you how bad I want the Jets to smoke the stinking Canucks.

I think Logan makes a good point. Other than weather, there's plenty of good reasons to live in Manitoba, like the lower personal and property tax rate, no wait, that's not it. Well their PST is lower. No...hmmm. Well they have fewer insect issues...oh right...hmmm

Tacklewasher told me that the new commish was born in Kenya. Has anyone checked his birth certificate? Congrats on the new job. It is especially gratifying that we got someone this good, given how few people wanted this thankless job. Good luck Mr. New Commish!

Get Center Ice ya cheapskate

Yeah I think planting trees is an excellent idea. As for wood stoves, I've been looking at one for the house as the idiot government and utilities board here have put in a two-tier billing system for electricity, and it's caused huge increases in the cost of electricity. There's a wood stove manufacturer in Penticton that manufactures some of the highest efficiency wood stoves on the market, and may be the one you saw, as it has a catalytic combustor as you describe. Not sure if you can buy them in Manitoba - they're called Blaze King.

Well yes it puts CO2 in the air, but really everyone in Canada burning natural gas to stay warm is still like peeing in the ocean compared to the CO2 generated by China in a single day. Even if the man-made climate change myth had some validity to it, taxing natural gas just isn't going to do anything to stop it, and is just a revenue grab. So just say so. Also - in terms of "alternate energies" - I support them, as long as people look at the entire picture. Some look at a wind turbine and say "see it doesn't generate any CO2". Well, that's not true. What about all of the CO2 generated in constructing it in the first place? And what about the acid boiling that is required for the giant rare earth magnet in each of those turbines? And what about all the birds that are blended by wind turbines? I'm not a big supporter of wind or solar. I do support nuclear though.

Chiarot and Perrault practicing today - could they be back sooner rather than later? What about Buff and Little?

I saw Gretzky's first ever NHL game in Winnipeg. He would have been 18 at the time. He played terrible and the Winnipeg fans were chanting "Superstar" and taunting him, as Gretzky came with a lot of hype of course. I remember thinking that maybe the hype wasn't warranted. I probably was wrong about that.... EDIT: I looked it up - Dec 7, 1979. The Jets won 8-3.

Pencer looked to me like he showed up at camp completely out of shape, and he was getting turnstiled on every play. That first exhibition game he was just getting schooled. Definitely one of Mack's worst picks, especially given how high he was taken.

LOL. Can only imagine the chants if/when the playoffs start.

I met his parents at the airport in Winnipeg two years ago, really nice folks. Wish Paul all the best.

I went to the 2000 Grey Cup in Calgary - sat on the temporary steel benches in the endzone - that's the coldest I've ever been in my life! Never doing that again.
