Why? So Ladd can bring down wheelers play too?

Hope buff decides to show up. Ladd has been playing hurt but buff needs to show up and make a difference.

I'd honestly consider buff with Lowry and Stempniak and sit Hali and play either Pardy for pk purposes or Harrison on d. PK looked brutal without Pardy. Tlusty to 4th line

Wheeler was the only vet who showed up really. Liked his hit at the end. That's more leadership than Ladd has shown

Buff was awful. Just awful. Ladd too. First ducks goal was on his give away

Where was buff and Ladd tho. Invisible

Kesler should have got one for embellishment on the scheif one. Reality is Frolik penalty was the dumb one. Should be on the bench for a bit next game for that one. Refs did let the ducks get away with a couple tho. Trip on wheeler and the late hit on Chiarot should both have been called

Scheifs penalty was a weak call considering it happened on every scrum b4 and after that one but Chiarot and Frolik were just bad. Frolik one killed us. It's 1 game tho. Eliminate the penalties and 2 bad bounce goals and we will be fine

Yeah i know but orlesky tweeted that out, i was like WTF, everything i've seen is just maintenance. She's been wrong before tho. She didn't exactly provide any context to the tweet so i'm assuming it was just for the practice this morning.

Accoring to sara orlesky, no ladd or perreault tonight altho thought i saw ladd was just maintenance.

Bombers apparently added another db today according to darrin bauming, undrafted guy from syracuse, got a tryout with the colts last year.. 6'1 195 lbs Keon Lyn.

Ticats blaming it on injuries and roster bonus's. Say what you will but to me it sounds pretty believable, ticats had tons of injuries last year to several players.

I think game 2 is going to be a gong show, subban should have got suspended, he's not going to be so the sens will take matters in to their own hands really. Not suspending subban was probably the dumbest thing the league could do, cuz now if/when game 2 gets out of control, since you didn't suspend subban, how could you suspend another player for doing something similar. This is on the league, Quintal was a former montreal player, surely that didn't play a role in the non suspension did it?

Jets in 6 Blues in 7 Nucks in 6 Hawks in 6 Habs in 7 Bolts in 5 Nyr in 5 Nyi in 6 Jets over nucks Blues over Hawks Bolts over Habs Nyr over nyi Blues over jets Nyr over bolts Blues win.

Boston fired the gm

Harkins and or looke are 2 guys jets rumored to be interested in drafting. Meier probably not there when jets pick

Slightly. Guy has 25 points or something and the mooseheads have scored 35 goals. Been a part of 71 or so percent of their scoring. He's too good for junior

The way to take both perry and Getzlaf out is simple. Hit them hard and often. Hit the ducks D men every chance you get especially lindholm as he is normally the guy feeding passes to these guys

The Ducks aren't as deep as people like to think, like the article or blog said, outside of kesler,getzlaf and perry, they don't have much scoring. Perry can easily be knocked off his game, Kesler too, The Jets have a deeper roster, scoring throughout really, they might not have a bunch of 30 goal scorers but they have a few 20 goal scorers and lots of guys who scored 10 or more. Jets do need to win 1 in Anaheim, preferably game 1 actually. If they do, I think they take it in 6. There isn't much difference between the 1st seeded ducks who played in a division where they got to play edmonton and arizona a bunch of times and the 8th seeded jets who at 99 points could easily have been well over 100 with some luck or some late game gaffs, that goal pav let in vs st louis, that late goal they let in vs san jose, thats 2 more points right there, Should have beaten Colorado too, This series is closer than some people want to admit, I can see why the Jets are being picked to win by lots of people... It's all about history, ducks choke in the playoffs, you take out one of perry or getzlaf and that team doesn't really have the depth, they have 3 high priced scorers, you remove 1 and they aren't that big of a threat... Bruce Boudreau is known to choke in the playoffs too. I dunno, i just don't see how any team in the west could be considered a favorite or under dog, they are all really good teams, all of them, Jets played in the ultra competitive central division, all teams finished with 90 points or more.. Ducks played in a division that had 2 of the worst 5 teams in the league.. Jets easily could win this series, easily. Ducks could too tho. The fun part about playoffs, what you did in the regular season doesn't matter anymore, it's a new season really. First team to win 16 games wins it all... Jets played meaningful games down the stretch, ducks did not, ducks have actually played like garbage the last month or so, that matters a bit.. i realize i just said what you did in the regular season is irrelevant now but.. you do want to be playing your best at this time of the year and reality is, the jets have been and the ducks haven't.

First place as a result of playing Edmonton and Arizona a bunch of times

Slater is a 4th line center, copp is cheaper and will be better in the long run, I just don't see the Jets signing slater.

Frolik,Stafford,Stempniak,Tlusty,Slater Let's just pretend slater gets 1.6 million for one year, doubt it, but let's just use that number because that's what was said earlier in the thread.. Well that's 1.6 million you can't give to Frolik,Stafford or Stempniak, Personally i think Tlusty is as good as gone, i just don't see him sticking around to play 4th line minutes... I'd take slaters 1.6 and give it to any of those other 3 over slater any day of the week. Slater is good at faceoffs? Sure but that's about all he's good at really, people talk about the PK but.. really he's not that great at it, he's just average as our entire PK was just average really and he's an older player, if you have younger guys who are ready, you always take that guy over the over 30 year old 4th liner.. Personally, I'd let slater go and i'd take the money he'd get and give it to one of stafford frolik and stempniak, Hell bet you can get stempniak for less than 1/6 and he brings more plus is also a very good penalty killer. Copp wouldn't have been signed if they didn't think he was ready.

I think Hamilton is the team to beat in the east, I think Montreal comes down to reality, I think Crompton isn't as good as some people seem to think. I see Hamilton finishing first in the east and easily. Crompton won't have Deron Carter there to bail him out anymore, they are an older team too, stamps ain't the same as he used to be, that receiving group isn't that impressive really.. I'm not sure Montreal even gets in as i think Ottawa will be improved, but by how much? I'm not sure.

Ducks played in a much easier division getting to play teams like Arizona and Edmonton a few more times, we played in a division where every team, EVERY ONE OF THEM, finished with 90 points or more. Ducks were killing it earlier in the year, running away with it, thought they'd be presidents trophy winners at one point but something happened there, they haven't played as well recently, their goaltending is just as questionable as ours, Gibson hasn't been so good this year and Anderson is hot and cold, Who is even starting for them? They don't even know. I think we match up well vs the DUCKS, we played that playoff style, tight checking hard hitting, good D game most of the season, ducks didn't... Ducks tend to choke in the playoffs and when the going gets tough, guys like Perry and Getzlaf are known to become hotheads and get out of control doing more harm than good for the DUCKS. I dunno, head says Ducks win but.. Heart says Jets shock some people here and take it in 6 games. I dunno, this is gonna be a good series and i'm gonna predict that the winner of this series goes to the western conference finals regardless of who wins between calgary and vancouver, If we win our next opponent would be the winner of the calgary/vancouver series. Get by the ducks and we could easily make it to the conference finals vs one of Minny St Louis or Chicago I'm guessing. Part of me thinks us and St Louis are destined to meet in these playoffs and the only way that happens is in the western conference finals.

Gonna say it. Who cares really.
