Status report
The game marks the return of Toews to Chicago, where he played from 2007-23. … The Jets will go with the same lineup they used in a 4-3 overtime loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. … Burakovsky will be a game-time decision for the Blackhawks. The forward is dealing with illness and a family situation. … Nazar has been practicing, but the forward will not play. He will miss his 14th consecutive game, but could be an option to play at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. … Teravainen, a forward, will miss his third straight game.

Okay we have 35 games to go. We are 7-10 points away to a playoff spot. How many more losses before we should realistically throw in the towel?

Or thinking more positively, how many more W's do we need out of the 35 games left to realistically make the playoffs. 27/28? 23/24 with some OTL's mixed in?

Or should I put all my energies right now in hoping we increase our odds in getting a very high high draft pick?

Or just spend all my time on the football side of things and ignore hockey all together?

Wow and I thought I was Debbie here.

Got to kill this two man advantage. 

Realistically, I don't know if these Jets have the horses to make a deep run.  I personally think they should just throw in the towel right now and get the high draft pick and retool for next year.

And the toilet bowl goes to Winnipeg.
