Not in the sense of useful experience, developed talent, demonstrated maturity, honed leadership, etc.

Ouch.

It also seems that the shooters are becoming so much more accurate. Goaltender coaching seems to have forgotten there is a top half to the net.

Hutch and Helle are thinking, 'yea thanks, you score 6 goals for him, where's my goal support?'

Yup, the hidden job market.

Well said.

Realistically, not yet. But soon, if we continue on the same path we've traveled the first half of the season.

29 other teams would take him in a heart beat. Yes, he's faltered of late, but no, you don't trade him. You show some patience. He will step it back up.

I guess I did.

The season is not a write-off, yet. It will be soon if this continues but again, not yet. They can still go on a roll and get themselves back into it.

You're comparing Michael Bishop to Travis Lulay? If so, I think not.

Travis Lulay?

No idea? For the answers, look back to when sport was invented.

I thought the LA OT goal was saveable if he just stands his ground upright but I'm not a Goalie expert. It just seems both our goalies go down so quick giving the top half of the net too frequent.

When you're emotionally invested in the Jets like a lot of us are, they are such an entertaining and maddening team to watch. Just when you think they have figured it out, bam. If Joel Armia continues like he is, he is going to be a really good hockey player for us. I'm thinking Bryan Little must be playing hurt. He's not himself since coming back.

Good grief man. I'm thinking he's constantly doing something behind the scenes that the lay fan has no idea about.

I'd assume our goal is to develop Dom Davis into a starter sooner than later. You would think he'll see more of the field this year.

If that's true and if I'm Michael Hutchinson, I'm thinking 'Thanks a lot Coach'

I'm guessing you could put a lot of teams in that category by looking at the changes they've made over the last 2-3 years. When is it tinkering and when is it a rebuild? What number of changes determines that? Very subjective and up for interpretation for sure.

Yes but how strong is Durant's position in a league of 9 teams with most already set at starting QB's?

Immediately after a play is whistled, a coach has 20 seconds to decide whether he wants to challenge the call. After twenty seconds elapses, that play can't be challenged.

Are you suggesting his teammates are questioning his leadership? My hunch says no.

Not absolving responsibility for the Jet skaters last night but what a monumental chance for Michael Hutchinson trailing 3-2 to steal the game and hold off the naysayers. I'm not sure how many more chances he will get.

Yup it's rational to plug in a previous 20-30 goal scorer, it's also rational to ensure you're matching their playing minutes to their contributions. I heard the commentator mention he noticed more jump in Staffords play against the Flames. The only thing I would ask from Drew Stafford is ensure his level of intensity, effort not change regardless of minutes and line combo he's on.

It's always been important to do this regardless of era. If one of us is on the wrong end of unjust judgment, we sure do appreciate this approach. Absolutely this era has provided more complexities in trying to have an informed perspective on others. Having bias's, assumptions and opinions on others is human nature, testing them on a regular basis is a whole different ball of wax. To ensure they are close to factual takes some work on the judge's end. Each of us have varying levels of ability, commitment and energy to do so. One things for sure, no one's perfect but some are better than others in how we talk about others factually.
