The Jets did nicely against Dallas. Perrault and Frolik have some serious chemistry going. The first goal was a work of art

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

I'll be at the Jets v Hawks game tonight, Neil. Jets have beaten us twice at home already....looking to buck the trend. :D

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

:fu:fu

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Anytime the Jets beat divisional opponents it improves their chances of a post season.
Folks are getting there hopes up. I think they are over performing. Sooner or later the big boys will munch them into little pieces.

Hey, but so far so good !

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

I like a lot of what they bring to the table. Hutchinson will have to keep stopping lots of pucks though.

Hope Perrault isn't out after the crosscheck from Carcillo. Hawks went 1 and 1 in the fights from where I was sitting.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Well atleast the sharks aren't waiting till the post season to blow dog. Kind of better this way no one thinks they will do anything this year.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Shootout win for the Avs last night :)

The Avs are going to play the Redwings outdoors in 2016 :tu

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Be wesome if they could bring back Lemeiux, McCarty, Vernon and Roy for this one. :bx :lr

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

That's the first time in the history of the planet that anyone has ever said it would be awesome to bring back Claude Lemeiux. :D

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Just to see McCarty kick his ass again! Claude the Turtle! :D

I know it's all about the team.....but I gotta say Joe Pavelski (65 goals in the last season and a half) not being an All Star is a complete joke. :2

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Big Buff made 1st star this week.
Not sure what Paul Maurice is feeding him, but he's on monstrous form

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Love me some Dustin Byfuglein. The celebration after his goal in Vancouver in the 2010 playoffs is probably my favorite ever.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Ahhhh, the old rivalry that seems to be dead and gone now ;) don't forget that Roy is behind the bench :r

Looks like I will track down a couple of tickets and hopefully it won't be too cold then :)

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Avs without Erik Johnson for 2M's.....and that's a wrap....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Yup :td

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

As a Flyers fan....too funny. :r

I think they got it right. ;)

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Super-cool.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

After spending the last 5 games trying not to make the playoffs, the Jets downed the Avs tonight. The arena was hopping, although most of the goals were on the other side of the ice from my seats.

The Sheifele-Perault-Trouba goal in the third was a thing of beauty though.

Give credit to Patrick Roy for never giving up - he ran an empty net for nearly 5 minutes. Gutsy!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Perrault got me 3 fantasy points and Wheeler 1, so I was happy for them. Easier to be happy for them after the Hawks downed the St. Louis Blews. :D

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

So Chevy made his first really significant trade in 3 years. Poor Buffalo compound their problems and inherit Kane for their troubles. (This ain't no Patrick Kane either). Sad to see Bogosian go, he was popular in the community.

Myers and Stafford look like decent journeymen to pick up for a playoff push. We'll see how they look tonight.

Everyone in the 'Peg is holding their breath....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

If Kane can turn his sh!t around, Buffalo wins this deal in my eyes. While Myers is a good skater with decent hands, he is soft. Built like Chara, plays like Charo.

Stafford had one good season in his career, he's a adequate third liner at best.

That being said, Winnipeg still has some great talent up front and on D, if the goaltending could stay consistent, they might make a dent in the playoffs.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Liking the "Minnesotta mafia" on our team: Drew Stafford joins Blake Wheeler, Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Stuart.

Welcome to the 'Peg Drew. It's only slightly colder than home.....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Actually liked both Myers and Stafford's first game with the Jets, Neil. Be curious to see how they do as the season progresses.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

We were robbed - Pekke Rinne is one heck of a goalie. I predict Preds go far if he stays healthy.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Yup, the Preds are for real. Lack of going deep in the playoffs previously is their only disadvantage this year.

Shawn Mattias scored his first career hat trick last night against Rask in Vancouver. The TV showed them carrying a basket of hats off the ice....and on top was a Bruins 2011 Champs hat....too funny.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

The boys played their hearts out against the wings to come from behind.
Stafford puts in the winning penalty and gets to wear the silly hat in the dressing room.

The town is extatic. Bye-bye Evander, have fun.....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Blackhawks V, Penguins this morning.

Suck it, Crosby!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Crawford was hot today. Couple of incredible saves.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Both goalies were great until the shootout. Luckily Crawford was one better. :D

Now hoping the Panthers will come back and beat the Blews.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Two talented blokes here - Trouba feeds to Buff - who pops a nifty backhand in the net:

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Tough news for Chicago and Kane....

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Tough for the Hawks for sure, hope ttey have the depth to stay in the hunt.

Tough for my fantasy team too, my top 2 forwards (Kane and Tyler Seguin) out long term. :hn

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Sure couldn't have happened to Rask … :sad

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Good game by Wings. Sharks got out classed. This team is in full blown dumpster fire mode.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Hawks win the first game of the "post-Kane" temporary era. Hope they can play as well against true contenders.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Tough checking game Jets vs Blues. This is going to be a hard slog down the stretch.
Hutch looks sharp, although his first loss in 15 shoot-outs!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

The Wild picked off the Preds giving them only their 4th loss at home all year. Have the Avs tonight. It's been one crazy ride this season. Hope it continues into the playoffs. All hail Dubnyk!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Congrats on the 'hawks getting Antoine Vermette, price seemed high but then again, I grabbed him in CC Hockey as soon as I saw the Bs and 'hawks were both going after him, figured he might break out a little more with a new team and change of scenery. :tu

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Mason standing on his head with 10 minutes left in the 3rd, nice to see him come back strong, no nice that I cut him a few weeks ago... :(

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Jets looked awesome today, even chasing Jonathan Quick at the end of the 2nd. Stafford scores his first goal,as a Jet and Myers has a phenomenal game. Great stuff chaps!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Watched the Jets game while herfing, solid 60 mnutes. Good to see Blake Wheeler back.

Hoping Timmonen can solidify the bottom pair on D and Vermette can add some strength up the middle for the Hawks' stretch run.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Damn the Rangers got better quick at the trade deadline. may hurt them in the future though. Yotes are definately going to be good in a few years with all those picks. Hextall pulled a real sweet deal. Man I wish Holmgren was still ruining...uh I mean running that orgs deals...

I still want Snow to stand pat. we did our deadline deals back in Oct. alla Leddy and Boychuk.

LGI!!!!!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Trade Leddy and Boychuk for Dion Phaneuf! :D

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

:sl

It has been a while since Milbury left out Organization. otherwise the trade you proposed would have been a posibility. Fortunately Garth Snow is at the Helm and he is doing just fine. Liked the swap of Johnson for neuvirth. Would like a solid defensive defenseman but I like what he has done this year. Definately in contention for the GM of the year. Not saying this as a "homer" but I can't think of a GM who has done more to improve a team this year.

BTW: I can't stand Phaneuf. I wouldn't have wanted him for Conacher!

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Still laughing :r


Then there is this ..

Jordan Leopold's 11-year-old daughter Jordyn missed her dad, so she wrote a letter to the Minnesota Wild asking the team to bring him home. While the letter was not the only reason or real reason they grabbed him, it couldn't have hurt.

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Holy cap that's epic

Re: NHL '14 - '15 Season Thread
 

Wish the sharks would have made some big moves in trading away players with actual talent. Right now they remind me of the Flames from a couple of years ago. Good enough to sneak into the playoffs, but that's it. They aren't a complete team, and no way they can compete once things get tighter.

As much as I like him, moving Pavelski would be a good long term move. He isn't THAT young anymore, is a good player under a great contract. Ship him out and see what the return will be.
