I can also lay claim to the Blue Jays' dumpster fire. I basically command the fires of hell.

I would like to throw Ondrej Pavelec and his 3.9 million dollar salary into said fire.

Do you find you can spin your head around 360 degrees? Do you have strange religious tattoos? Have Tourette's?
You should go to church and get an excorcism performed, that might get your curse lifted or you need to make a deal with the devil, he's taking a dump on your chest.

I like that this thread is already more popular than the Rangers version.

i'm glad you guys decided to keep me company in my thread of "hockey woe".

something something Evander Kane.
I just want this thread to continue to have more posts than the Rangers thread.

The Jets destroyed the Coyotes last night. I know it's only 1 game...but Paul Maurice's system looks really good. I hope they keep it up.
The Kane injury looked terrible. My worst fear is that it's an ACL. We can't afford to lose any of our blue chip players.
-
Our next 2 games on this road trip are in San Jose and LA respectively. If we can win there....i'll have renewed faith for this season.

both?

Any Canadian team that is in a position to draft McDavid and doesn't needs its GM firing on the spot, but I don't think the Jets will picking in the top 2 unless they get lucky in the lottery. They're not that bad.

We're terrible.
and regardless of where we pick in the draft next June, our GM needs to be fired anyway.

I don't think they're one of the two worst teams in the league, from what I have seen so far.

You would be wrong.
Keep in mind, JE, our core players have been together before the franchise moved to Winnipeg. The fact they're playing like this is cause for huge concern. It's not the first 5 or 6 games....it's the last 210+ games.
-
Also...we're 5 games in, and we haven't scored on the PP yet.

As a Jets and Dodgers fan I'm mostly listening Pearl Jam in the dark with a candle on the floor and a knife to my wrist.
-
5 games into the season, and Paul Maurice is already dropping F-bombs during media scrums.
Thank christ, we got off the schneid last night.

Might be a stupid question for MB, but did you become a NY Jets fan because of the Winnipeg Jets?

Then your team isn't that bad.

They have a handful of excellent players (Kane, Bogosian, Scheifele, Wheeler, Endstrom) and a lot of filler.
Andrew Ladd will score against us on Saturday. I feel like Ladd always scores against us.

He'd look nice next to Tavares and Okposo, that's for sure. We're out of draft picks though. Probably have to trade a package around Strome or Nelson plus some A level prospects so I'm not too confident that'll happen.
-
The Jets aren't trading Evander Kane to anyone for anything unless he specifically tells them he wants out. He's their most dangerous player and he's under contract until 2018.

His AAV is quite reasonable too.

Nor should he. You build around players like him. He's a little immature and whatnot, but he's a guy who can single handedly win a game for you.

The Wpg Jets are 10th overall in the league, and are 8 points out of 1st overall.

On a good run =/= a good team. The Jets clearly aren't as bad as we thought they might be but they also still have their problems. A month ago the Leafs were virtually unstoppable and now look at them.

This isnt a good run...they're playing at high level despite key injuries. Paul Maurice should be in consideration for the Jack Adams if the jets keep playing like this.
The Jets are also 11 games above .500, and have the best road record in the league.
Nobody is crowning them yet...but that's still pretty impressive.
I'd mention the Isles turnaround, but i don't want Honky Chops stealing my thunder.

Wooooooo!

Maurice is a good coach, you have a good defense corps and Pavelic isn't as bad as you think. The fact Kane has missed a decent amount of time and the team has still succeeded says something about the team.
I can't believe but Capuano has to be the Jack Adams winner. It's hilarious. I wanted Maurice for the Isles when he was available.
-
Funny how this thread has more posts than the Islanders one.

Lmao he's even more out of shape than Kessell, that's saying a lot. I will give them props as being incredible athletes. They could both be so good if they applied themselves. They're beer league players at heart, they would have been great in the old party all night NHL of the 70's to the early 90's.

For now the Sabres got the better of the deal.

I am just saying the best player in the deal is Kane obviously. He can go on to have a stellar career in Buffalo, then the trade will look good to both. As of now this is a big win for you guys, you get rid of an asset that really didn't play on the team this year and you add depth, size and youth.
Better freak nut?
-
not too bad.
-
For now the Sabres got the better of the deal.
They got the best two players in the deal while giving up a defensemen that hasn't done excrement since his ROY campaign and can at this point be considered to be massively overpaid (though admittedly still with possibly the highest upside out of anyone in the deal). I'll give the Jets credit from the perspective that they took a depreciating asset that was providing no value towards their goal of building a playoff run, and flipped it for as much as they could get. Jets got a very good haul from a prospect perspective as I'm a big fan of Lemieux, Armia is highly regarded and again, if Myers can flip the switch it radically changes my position in terms of future ramifications of this trade but thats a BIG if. Stafford freaking sucks. He's hot garbage. I just hate the fact that the Jets had to give up Bogosian in this deal as well, even if they had to take a diminished return. Jets fans, am I overrating him? I thought he played a really solid two-way game and part of the problem with your team has been defense.
Sabres upon acquiring Kane could rationalize that Armia was expendable, and since I'm assuming this pick is either the Isles or Blues 1st, that they had enough in the cupboard in terms of their other two picks to part with one. Plus again, they're getting in my opinion the best two players in the deal.
Also, from a Sabres perspective the fact that Kane is out for the year really should be considered as a positive. Let him come in, rehab under their team doctors, get a feel for the city and gain a rapport with the front office and coaching staff with no expectations or pressure to perform whatsoever, while all the while the Sabres continue to rack up losses so next year they can pair him with Eichel or McDavid.
-
I don't like this trade one bit for the Jets. I think they've weakened themselves on the ice right now when they should have been strengthening for a run at the postseason. I like it very much for Buffalo.

Crap I meant the Jets for now because Kane isn't going to play. The draft pick is the lowest of the 3.

I think that's a difficult argument to make when the Canadiens are tied for top of the East.
-
I'm not looking for the number but the head-to-head numbers are decisively in the East's favor. Like at a .600 clip too.

I believe the West is better equipped to compete in the playoffs. The rosters are bigger, faster and battle-tested over here. Nashville, St.Louis, Minnesota, Anaheim are all playing ridiculous right now. We stomped Tampa last week on the road, shutout Ovechkin this past Saturday....the only team that manhandled us recently was Ottawa (and they're playing some great hockey).
No doubt the East is putting up points. But whichever team from the East makes the finals, is going to get run over, imo.
EDIT: We're also missing 4 of our top players (Little, Buff, Perreault and Chiarot)
-

Nope, sorry, I'm calling shenanigans on that. NYR and Tampa are the only two really good sides in the top five of the East; the Isles, Penguins and Habs all have their strengths, but they also all have significant weaknesses. In the West, there are four really good teams in the top five and then there's Minnesota.
The Rangers could easily win the Stanley Cup but the West is definitely the stronger conference, especially when you consider that there are teams like LA and Calgary in the middle of the pack. The bottom 5 or 6 teams in the East are genuinely excrement, and bubble teams like Ottawa and Florida are just making up the numbers.

I think the East is wide open. If Ottawa gets in...they could ride Hamburglar deep into the playoffs. I don't trust any team in the East, including the Rangers.
EDIT: If anything, Carey Price needs to fold like a tent again. I hate that team so much.

Hammond's getting all the press but it's more down to the change of style that Cameron introduced. Hammond isn't responsible for the massive increase in goals and chance differential since the change of coach. His lack of time in the job will probably mean he can't win the Jack Adams, but if we make it to the playoffs he should be in the conversation.
-

I don't, again this is not last year the east is measurably better this year. The top teams in the West are not last years Kings. Anaheim, Nashville have just as much hair as Montreal, the top team in the east. I don't think there's any team in the west where I would say omg, not like last year. Chicago, LA, Anaheim, St. Louis and SJ could all make a claim they were better than any team in the east last year. This year not so much.
Last year: the east was 202-188-58 vs the West
This year so far: 201-168-55
That shows a lot less regulation losses meaning they have comeback to par.

Shots fired: Anaheim is a house of cards.

I can't get behind that either. There are good teams in the East, as good as the best of the West. There's just more depth in the West; the overall quality of the conference is better, but I don't see clear air between the top teams of each conference. If I had to bet on the SC Final entrants I'd have to go with NYR vs either Chicago or St Louis. I have a feeling that the 'Hawks experience could be the difference but it's a tough call - there are a lot of well matched teams.

They're a long way from being a one man team, Kane's a big loss but they're still loaded with talent.

They played the Rangers 2 games in March without Kane, the grand total of the combined scores was 1-1. Chicago is more than equipped to play without Kane.
-
Kane was magic in the playoffs when Toews and Sharp disappeared. It's a bigger loss than you might think.
-
Hmm. Tonight's results would rather suggest that the West still has something of a dominance over the East, I think, and I'm not talking about the 'Yotes over the Wings.

No, but as we reach the business end of the season the fact that every East/West match up of the night went the way of the West isn't completely without relevance to my statements yesterday.

It's one night though, bravo on the west for having a good one. Again, the disparity between the conferences is greatly exaggerated, especially by the schmuck our friend in Manitoba.
