  1. Kuale?!?! What... this guy wasn't available?
  2. While we can't force them to retire here, I'd expect both are in the Jets long-term plans. Why wouldn't they be?
  3. They might need room for 15,000-20,000 by next round already. Esp if the weather keeps up. 9000 for game 2 of the opening round when the high was 0.
  4. From a post of mine last August.... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000124526/article/chris-rainey-arrested-in-florida-on-battery-charge http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2014/09/18/cardinals-cut-player-with-violent-history-after-cnn-inquiries/
  5. An upturned broom with a bucket for a head would be better than him. Gord Miller would be welcome, too. NBC has some good crews this year actually.
  6. The problem is simply the B network in Canada has national rights, and for some reason they employ (mostly) C level talent. You could put together quite the broadcast crew just with guys sitting on their couch this spring.
  7. Game 1 thoughts.... - Heck of a road game by Minny....still not enough. I think we've got an even better game 2 in us. - Dubnyk was on his game, no shocker. Rightfully got the jeers from the crowd. Because it's the postseason & that's what fans should do. - Street party was a blast, huge props to all who put it on. We'll need another block or 2 open moving forward though. - St.Laurent is a playoff ref?!? Were no MJHL refs available? Awful, awful crew. Those linesman should be unemployed. - Not sure how the noise translated on TV.... truthfully, I think the 15K & change have a lot more to offer. Waiting forever for Rogers' broadcast to start kinda subdued everyone. We fans need to get back to 2011 & 2012 noise / engagement levels. If you showed up & wore white, good on you. I'm sure TNSE appreciates the support. Now... support the players. Far too many people sitting on their hands for my liking. - Our 4th line is going to be a force all playoffs. - Laine is just a phenom. Dude gets better the bigger the stage. His postgame quote make it here yet? Boys play in the fall. Men play in the spring.

  9. 2nd rookie in 60 years to win award. Impressive.
  10. We've got that exact sign up at our office. Mom put out one of my old sticks outside the front door yesterday. Hope it's still there.
  11. Charlie Coyle would be the guy I'd be watching my back for. Maybe Foligno or Winnik... but I can't see them keeping up with Thorburn, let alone our current FW group.
  12. Just looked it up.... Soucy (3) and Seeler (22) have a whopping 25 games of NHL experience.
  13. Yep....what a depth chart alright!! If we HAVE to be picky... and I've liked Morrow thus far.... but D is a tad thin. But that's being really picky. I suspect if we go far, we'll see Tobias Funke Enstrom in over Morrow. Poolman seems competent enough to be our 7/8 guy. Impressive lineup.
  14. So, far be it to complain about making the playoffs, especially as I'll be there this year as opposed to 2015.... That said, little bummed about the early start times / catering to the East. I get the why, doesn't mean I have to like it. 2 central teams playing. Games at 7:00 or 7:30 are most fan-friendly, I.E. sensible. And yeah, I think most are counting down the days until Rogers national TV deal ends. Obviously they're vastly outmatched by TSN' on air talent. Damn shame to have a TON of great hockey ppl essentially off 'til the summer while Spengler Cup regulars cover Canadian teams in the playoffs. Here's one for us to ponder. How many Sat night games do the Jets get this postseason?? Methinks we'll virtually have to make the Cup final before Rogers sees us worthy of their Holy night broadcast.
  15. Disagree (obvs now it's easier to) - but I'd have said the same even if they squeaked in. They weren't winning a Cup this year. There was little chance they'd even be sniffing at a Conference title. GM smartly assessed that & obtained assets for a piece likely gone at season's end. 'Twas a solid trade from both sides.
  16. Where did you read he was stretchered off the ice? He was in 2016 when he broke his leg. Haven't seen any reference to the stretcher for this injury.
  17. My initial reaction is "OHHH god, NO!" Thennnn I remember how awesome the crew was on Curb, and I think they could pull it off. I don't know....leave well enough alone. The best show in TV history doesn't need to come back.
