Chris Tanev sorting out immigration issues so not available tonight. 

If you break down the clip, Whitney said it’s a player on a current playoff team, so it wouldn’t be Minny. Also, Biz asked “is this a team they could meet…” and Whitney answered “yes” before Biz finished with “in the first round” so it could be any current playoff team. Now, some more likely suspects arise, like Evander Kane in Edmonton (because I could see him running his mouth), or PLD in LA due to recent history with the club, but maybe it’s one of the Stars, since they have handled Winnipeg’s game well this year, or a Canuck after they arguably outplayed the Jets but lost last week and someone is bitter. But honestly the Jets seem OK playing a run and gun (like this past week where they have been scoring) or lock down defence (basically all of December and January) to win 2-1. And if healthy they can roll 4 lines and play either goalie with confidence, so I’d say they are well-built for the playoffs, and their special teams are now coming around with the addition of Monahan. But West is wide open this year, with any of 6 teams honestly not being a surprise if they make the Finals (and even LA has an outside shot of they re-discover their November swagger). Two very very good teams are going to get bounced in round one guaranteed based on the 2 vs 3 match-ups whatever they are. 

IIRC he never seemed to have his head in the game when he was here. I seem to remember one game where he (I’m pretty sure it was him and not another receiver) caught a pass in the flat about 5 yards from the sideline and then “let his momentum” take it out of bounds uncontested to avoid taking a hit, when he had about 30 yards of real estate in front of him before he would have encountered any would-be tacklers had he simply turned it upfield which he should have easily been able to do had he just looked up. That play received more boos than any drop (and there were several of those too) as it showed where his mental game was at. 

Ya done messed up, Ay-ay-ron. 🤣 Insubordinate…….and churlish.

Complainants are not entitled to a presumption of truth. 
The system is actually in place to allow for presumption of innocence and places a burden of proof on the accuser. I agree that naming the alleged victim can lead to pre-judgment and shaming, but naming a potential accused does the same thing (as some of the comments here have already demonstrated). 

Jones’ decision to walk was purely family related, according to her. Wants to be there for her daughters more. 

I’d say this comment didn’t age well, but let’s face it, it was already dead on arrival.

For how long? Until the court case is done? Remember that the team itself has been named as part of the lawsuit, so it’s not as simple as “until their internal investigation is done”, since they are part of their own investigation. Do you think they will rule against themselves and admit wrongdoing if they plan to contest the civil suit? And suppose they find Kelly did wrong in their investigation and then he is cleared civilly in the suit - does he then have a wrongful termination suit against them? Or vice versa, they find he did no wrong and he loses the civil suit, does the employee get extra damages in another defamation suit against the club? Or does the court get tainted by the club’s findings, one way or another? 
Too many folks here ready to tar and feather based on half the story only told so far from one side and not be patient enough to let the judicial process play out. Harmful to both sides. 

You mean like Payton Manning in 2003 and winning the MVP and settling a sexual assault and defamation civil suit? Wait, you didn’t hear about it?

Sorry but it’s a two way street Biggie. Some players want to wait until they’ve exhausted their  NFL tryout opportunity, or want to see what the ceiling on salary from other teams may be in free agency tampering week before committing. Kind of glib to say “club should come out right away and know who they want to sign and say so rather than waiting until the end” when it’s impossible to set a budget when players like Schoen and Oliveira (who the club “knows” it wants to sign) have bargaining power and whose price is dependent on other teams’ offers, and this will stall things for their own benefit.

Finally a proper instigator penalty after a clean hard check. Tired of this “code” where you have to fight for any body contact. 

Brutally careless pass by Vilardi and Myers makes like Bobby Orr weaving through players, and we are tied again. 

So 3 factors on the play:
Puck over the line? Yes
Whistle? Not clear
Pushed in? Yes, but arguably Canuck pushed Scheifele into him. 
But too many “what ifs” I suppose to give the Jets the goal. 

That was a loud True North shout during the anthem.  Lots of Jets fans.

Nothing like dancing on a guy’s  grave on his way out with some cheap pot shots and character assassination of a serviceman. Sometimes I agree that Lyin’ Guy wasn’t far off with his “bunch of assholes” comment. Not upset about the cut from a roster point, but the man came in and did whatever was asked of him and did it competently enough, whatever the assessment of the skill of the position or the utility of the roster spot. And he served his country in the military in an elite service branch that makes him deserving at least of thanks and respect instead of mimicry, and makes him as tough if not tougher IMO than any poster on this site, whether they be ex-football player, gym rat, or keyboard comedian wanting to see circus acts or having a laugh at his expense.

I actually think you're wrong here... the problem with Jackson wasn't his contributions as a fullback... it's that he was taking up a DI spot on a position that easily could've been filled by a Canadian rookie... if his passport was different (even Global), I don't think anyone would've had a problem with him

I’m pretty confident if I told your veteran parent to go balance a ball on his nose in reference to his service branch, you’d struggle to find the “levity” in that comment, especially since you recognize their sacrifice as you say. If you want to rip a player’s performance, fair game. You want to call out their character for domestic violence, drunk driving, getting busted using steroids, have at it. But no, I’m not going to lighten up because you want to poke fun at someone’s military service by equating it to a circus trick, there’s nothing funny about it, especially as a parting shot.
