  1. Was a stop gap and nothing more. Glad to see they released him as he did nothing.
  2. Yea F tsn. Front page of TSN Web page the Leafs send down Nylander and Brown who gives a ****?Toronto sports network. Pretty much my thoughts too.
  3. The hold back lots of tickets until the current block is sold. Guarantee there's more than 2,000 left. Much more. Could very well be but there are less blue tickets (available seats) on ticketmaster than less than a week ago. I doubt they would deliberately hold back more and more tickets week after week. Some of those tickets have been sold in the past 5 or so days.We will see blocks of tickets become available in the coming weeks not doubt, but I'm not sure it will be to the extent you believe. I'll believe ticket master over a poster on the site any day.
  4. People seriously go on about the most ridiculous things at times. Whats he supposed to say. That they suck and are done?
  5. TSN consensus has the Jets finishing 6th in the Central this year. Not sure I agree with that but... it means nothing
  6. They have come along way in a short time. That's for sure. I don't like Ladd little wheeler on the same line anymore. Wheeler and Scheif have good chemistry. My guess is LLW don't last long.
  7. Not a big thorburn fan but to say Raffl is better? based on what exactly? the 3 or 4 pre-season games he played? Crazy talk.
  8. Cuz Edmonton has a bunch of bottom pairing D men on their roster... What they lack is a legit number 1 or 2 for that matter D man.
  9. Guess he's on the 4th line to start... could be argued that 4th line was one of the best lines in a few games this pre-season Petan,Copp,Thorburn to start it looks like but... Wouldn't be surprised to see Petan move up the line up really soon.
  10. Not sure i really agree with that, Chicago isn't a huge team, Minny isn't either... Nashville? Not really, Colorado is built on speed, St Louis? maybe but they have some issues of their own... Size is somewhat over rated, it's how you play, Peluso is a big guy but... i wouldn't want him on the ice for more than 5 minutes a game... Perreault isn't a big guy but... he knows how to position himself and he's strong on the puck... Petan looked the same really, not a big guy at all but... puck possesion and hockey IQ go a long way... When you think about it... Ehlers,Petan,Copp (let's just throw him in there),Burmi They are replacing Frolik, not exactly known to be the toughest or biggest guy, just strong on the puck, good defenisvely... Stempniak, not a big guy at all... Tlusty, again not a big guy at all, Slater... sure he banged some bodies but that's because he was chasing after the puck lots when he was on the ice... It's all about puck possession and these fancy stats that i don't really care about too much... i still think the eye test is the best way to judge a player but... if you actually look at fancy stats like puck possession for example, Jets were top 5 last year... They had the puck more than they didn't for the most part... You add some skill to the lineup and hockey IQ and I wouldnt' be surprised if they were top 5 again this year.
  11. The Raffl decision would be a lot easier to make if he was 21 22 25 and not 29... I think they sign him tho.
  12. Except of course for the fact that... the organization has changed quite a lot in the last couple years.. Miller,Walters... these guys weren't the guys who hired and fired 2 coaches after extending them. Eventually, you need to stop looking in to the past and start living in the now or looking to the future. What a different president and GM did 5 years ago, is not the same thing they would do now. Stability is important to this team and we haven't had that in forever. Extend Oshea and can MB and move on.
  13. Well, Harrison on waivers.... and based on what we've heard with Raffl, heard a bunch of different things... so not sure exactly what that means. Raffl probably can and will accept a 2 way deal... There is also the possibilty of them putting a guy on IR... Pardy being the most likely one... Maurice mentioned that Pardy had surgery in the off-season and still looked like he needed some time to recover, he could go to the IR.
  14. Is Khari much of an upgrade if any over Bellefeuille tho? I get the Khari love, and he'd definitely be on my list of possible OC's but i'm not sure if he'd be number 1 or even 2 on that list. Really not sure who is out there but... I'd talk to Howell,Khari, maybe a guy like Damon Allen... Lapolice would be of interest if he was willing to be OC here, where he lives. Khari is probably 2 or 3 on the list... I don't think he'd be much of an upgrade over Marcel. Also will need a new special teams coach.... the guy i'd talk to for that... Noel Prefontaine, helped out here in the pre-season. He'd be a guy on my radar for special teams coach.
  15. Ladd,Little,Petan will start the year as a line. You can pretty much bet on it.
  16. Did you watch any games? Petan is a wizard on the ICE, he was probably one of our best players... that Penticton tournament, it's a good idea but.. in reality, it means absolutely nothing in the big picture. It's basically just to get the rust off, It really means nothing. Petan was one of the Jets best players in the pre-season, he's gonna probably start with Ladd and Little on the top line, that's where he's played the last couple games and has not looked out of place at all. Calling it a tournament is also somewhat of a joke as their is no winner of the tournament, there is no trophy given out... Penticton is a good concept but.. it truly means nothing at all. Basically, like i said, it's to get the rust off and for some of them to get ready for the main camp... don't get hurt is the main thing, the rest is just irrelevant really.
  17. Good Luck getting an OC to come here then.
  18. I agree with the OP. Not really surprised at the responses tho.
  19. He was 16 of 19 to start the season, 6 of his last 13 tho... so something happened there.... not sure what.... perhaps it's something at home, i don't know but... you don't just go from being 16 of 19 to 6 of 13 for no reason. Guys a good kicker, must be something going on there.
  20. I'm not convinced anyone picks up Pardy or Harrison on waivers, theres been better players than them on waivers that's for sure and none have gotten a sniff. I'd waive Harrison, cuz i feel that he wouldn't get picked up.. 2 players to get down to the 23 man roster... Raffl is one for sure, Pardy or Harrison is the other. It's up to Raffl really tho, he accepts a 2 way deal and he probably starts with the Moose, if not... that decision is made for them and it's only 1 of pardy or Harrison that will be waived or traded.
  21. I see a team who hasn't given up yet... they have played pretty well the last 2 weeks, they aren't quitting on their coach that's for sure. This week will be interesting because it's a very important game, we win and we have the season series with BC and are tied in wins then too, BC still has a game in hand tho but as crazy as it sounds, if we win this week vs BC we still have a chance, this is basically the season, a loss and it's next year ville, a win and who knows, stranger things have happened... could 6-12 get them in? It just might... and that's crazy... I'd give MOS an extension this off-season, but 1 with a condition and that condition is to fire Bellefeuille either during our last bye week (if we are eliminated by then) or the minute the season ends. Really does seem like it is the O that has been holding the team back a bit, the D has been good, the Special teams, they are good and they are bad, theres improvements there, the O tho, it's really the same stuff since last year... square pegs in round holes, not using our guys to the best of their abilities, no run game, not even trying to establish a run game even and when we do try too, it's the same run up the middle and get stuffed type of things... Give MOS an extension, Fire MB... release picard and bucknor this off-season, along with Brohm and a few others... and go spend some cash on at least one olineman and see what happens. I don't think we are as far off as some like to think we are... i think you change the OC and you see a huge difference. It's Montreal 2007 all over again.
  22. Lipon sent down the hallway to the Moose. He will be called up a few times tho.
  23. Buff prob 4 years 24 million. Nobody will give him more than 5.
  24. NFL kickers struggling this weekend too. Big time. NOLA Vs Dallas game insane
