Rich Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Smart move by the NHL / NHLPA (assume they would have got PA approval) Look at the discussion the expansion draft has generated so far. When those lists come out, it is going to give the NHL a whole bunch of media attention and fan discussion in their off season. I know the NHL doesn't officially support / supply the salaries, but look at the discussion and media attention the cap and salary websites have generated for the NHL. Expansion draft is similar, players probably won't be thrilled about it, but it is great for marketing and drumming up interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHeart Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 meanwhile the leafs have scored in this game and if they keep this lead by the time the buzzer goes off they are one win away from playoffs, in the meantime they take back that cushy spot that was taken from them by the Ruins and as I type this they score again the score is 5-3 Toronto over the red wings.

Very disappointed we aren't in the playoffs. How much longer will Jets fans put up with it? Is Chevy under pressure to be active this off season to address team shortcomings? I don't think he can be as inactive as last season. Man, we need defensive help & goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Overall team D was bad this year. Wasn't one individual position holding us back. Injuries all over played a part, but overall team defense from forwards on down was bad. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets got into the playoffs on a stretch of wins with Pardy, Stuart, Harrison getting real ice time Now they are winning with Melchiori, Nogier and, sigh, Stu... Maurice changes his system when he loses his top 'rushing' Dmen... the plugs physically can't play his man-on-man D so he draws up a more conservative game - clear the zone, that's it. Let the speed guys do the rest. As soon as this team is healthy, he will go back to this man-on-man, run-n-gun whatever and the system will completely fall apart...

The format is a set bracket that is largely division-based with wild cards. The top three teams in each division will make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season record and regardless of division. It is possible for one division in each conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends just three. In the First Round, the division winner with the best record in each conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lesser record; the wild card team with the better record will play the other division winner. The teams finishing second and third in each division will meet in the First Round within the bracket headed by their respective division winners. First-round winners within each bracket play one another in the Second Round to determine the four participants in the Conference Finals. Home-ice advantage through the first two rounds goes to the team that placed higher in the regular-season standings. In the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final, home-ice advantage goes to the team that had the better regular-season record -- regardless of the teams' final standing in their respective divisions.

Goalie Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Isles and Tbay can catch the leafs. Ottawa clinched tho. Leafs play Pitt and CBJ. NYI plays NJ and another non playoff team. Leafs need 1 point in 2 games to clinch. Isles need to win out and for Toronto to lose their last 2. Tampa beating Toronto tonight makes things interesting for sure Edited April 7, 2017 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
