Status report
The Lightning, who held an optional morning skate, are expected to dress the same 11-forward, seven-defenseman lineup they used in a 5-1 loss at the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. ... James had surgery Tuesday and was placed on injured reserve; the forward left in the third period of a 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday following a hit by Sabres defenseman Michael Kesselring. … Goncalves, a defenseman, is day to day and is expected to miss his second straight game. ... Vilardi and Iafallo swap lines at right wing, but otherwise the Jets will dress the same lineup from a 3-2 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.

I'm just looking for positives. I've all but written off this season.

Debbie Downer here. Does it matter? As of today nine points out of a wildcard spot with 22 games left. Playing the Bolts tomorrow will be another great litmus test of how much hope we should be extending to our beloved Jets this season.

9 pm Start time TSN 3

I've upgraded the board to the next major version.
This is a significant upgrade from Version 4 to Version 5. I've been putting this off for almost a year as I didn't want to do it mid-season. Now with activities for next season starting, I wanted to get the upgrade in before next season activities start so any bugs can get worked out.
Why the upgrade....
This gets us on the most current version, which is important for security updates and new functionality. They have been doing security patches for the old version, but that won't last forever, and this also lets me upgrade some of the software that the board runs on to a current version.
Like everything else, the people who make the board software are really trying to push everyone to their cloud, as that gives them higher recurring revenue. But their hosting costs do not make sense for the size of the forum (it would 2x to 4x the cost I pay now depending on what plan we went to). Good news for now is they've committed to version 5 of the software to be self hosted. That should hopefully buy 5 - 10 years before they go to version 6.
Please be patient
There is going to be some tweaks and changes you'll notice over time, feel free to post in here anything that seems off or not right, there are still some tweaks that need to make to settings and the theme.
Some changes you may notice
They completely changed how tagging works.  Now admins / mods can maintain a list of tags, members can't create new ones.  This was done to better categorize and search content.  All existing tags have been converted, but let me know if you want new tags created.
Support for Web Apps on your phone
Complete theme overhaul.  A new theming system means I've had to rebuild the theme.  It is close to what we used to have, but there will be some discrepancies. There are still some more tweaks and updates I want to make to it.
There is a completely revamped post editor.  It does seem to be easier to use and more powerful.
A lot of other behind the scenes updates and changes to things we don't use that often.

The CFL isn't big enough to go on either Netflix or prime. I love the CFL..  but outside of Canada it's just not a draw.
 
 

This team sucks.

Great test today.
Because of the authority I have over this team, I am making this game a defining moment in the direction we take this year.
If we can beat this big dawg with authority, making the playoffs is a priority
If we beat this big dawg in a close match I'd say see above but with tempered enthusiam
If we lose to this big dawg in a close match ffs what do we do with this keep the tease and uncertainity going
If we lose to this big dawg with authority, close up shop, call up the senior mens beer league bottom dwellers and call it a day

yeah reading that article makes me shake my head.   Willie only had 3 sacks, but here's the reason why ... we only rushed 3.     The clearer picture would be that how many sacks did the team have overall last year.
Anyways, I'm still a fan of his and am happy he is sticking around.   I think he'll have a bounce back year.

I hate the f****** shootout.  Jets suck in them.  Another point at least, but we really need 2 .
