Pav is starting to lose, back to Hutch ...
Definitely not a Pavelec supporter myself but gbill you clearly do not understand what it means when people say a goalie is out of position. If a goalie bites on a deke on a breakaway, that is not the time to say he was out of position. That is just not the correct use of that term.

Sure, why not. Whatever. WWE Network and Wrestlemania
I thought it was fantastic from start to finish. The ending was incredible. That was a really, really good Wrestlemania.

Game 75: Habs @ Jets
C'est incroyable

Game 73: Jets @ Oilers
Never mind "hit of the year", Byfuglien has the whole "top 5 hits of the year" locked up.... maybe top 10.

Bombers draft & FA camp prep
Last year's draft was extremely very weak for all positions. Teams need to restock across the board. It will come down to supply and demand. Is the top tier of OL that much better than the second tier this year? We'll see. But the drop off from the top 3 receivers to the rest could be huge, so teams will want to jump on them early.

Bombers draft & FA camp prep
Everything changes after the main combine. That's when you see guys like Henoc Muamba and Mike Edem shoot up everyone's draft board. I have a feeling the first round won't be anywhere near as OL-heavy as people might think. The Bombers will have a great shot at a top 5 OL with the 11th pick and they should use the second overall on Nic Demski.

Still seems a little pricey to me. I'm like you in that I generally only watch the big PPVs. But I also usually share the costs of those with other people. If that is not an option for you then 11.99 is not so bad. I would probably also watch the other PPVs if I had the WWE network so as long as you watch those you are getting your money's worth. I'd also like to see more NXT so that would be a bonus. If it was like 5.99, I would be all over it.

Big shock Bogo hurt for the Sabres ...
Just so everyone knows, teams and the league are under no obligation to report when players enter drug rehab. Several players enter rehab throughout the league each year and it never gets reported by anyone. It is actually part of their bylaws that they do NOT report this kind of thing as it is believed that allowing these problems to go public can actually make an addiction issue far worse.

Assimilation (We Are Borg?)
You have an entire generation who grew up with no parents thanks to residential schools. Did you grow up with anyone whose parents weren't around? How did they end up? Now apply that to an entire race for a generation. Now that generation has kids and have no idea how to raise them because they had no parents themselves. And the cycle continues. So who is supposed to step up and lead them? I agree that it has to be natives who lead natives and make the changes. But it is going to take a remarkable person or group of people to lead them, and it might be awhile until that happens because of the long term damage that has been done to their people.

Anyone live in a condo?
Not terrible. I live in a 7th floor 1BR condo in the south end... About 700 sq feet, no river view. I rent so I don't have to worry about condo fees but my neighbors tell me the fees are around 250. There is no gym or home phone but that includes everything else. Yours seems slightly high but sounds like a nicer place. If you have underground parking I'd say the fees are pretty reasonable. If not, still not so bad. Personally I would never purchase a condo but that's just a preference on my part.

Tickets for potential Jets playoff games won't be cheap
Those prices seem quite reasonable. I wouldn't even think twice.

I would love to see Sheets here. Maybe he has lost a step but maybe he could also be dominant. He's shown what he can do, he is worth the risk, IMO.

BREAKING: Moose Returning to MTSC Next Season
I doubt they would change the prices but I could see them doing deals where you buy a pack of tickets and get some concession vouchers.

You would think guys like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees would make NFL types think twice about judging QBs by their height but most still prefer QBs around 6'4 or 6'5. A 6'2 undrafted QB coming out of the CFL already has the deck stacked against him.

A slagging of rider priders by a Ticat (I think anyway) fan..
They sell green Jets jerseys as well

Klingberg traded
I'm no Pavelec defender but that's not even slightly accurate.

Game 64: Kings @ Jets
Gives us 3 dangerous lines. I like it

Bilukidi signs 2 year deal with Ravens
We'll never see him.

The Wild Card race aka hockey's Final Four
Not as much as they would sting if they were regulation losses.

Game 63: Blues @ Jets
Yeah but really... The only teams that are actually close to the Jets are the Flames, Sharks and Wild. The Flames just lost Giordano, possibly for the season. That would kill their chances. And the Sharks seem to be falling out of it. There is even word that they are shopping players like Niemi. Doesn't sound like they are gearing up for a postseason run. I'm confident that as long as the Jets don't completely blow it over these last 19 games, they will make it.

Game 63: Blues @ Jets
Jets played a good game against one of the best teams in the league. They lost in the shootout so they lose the point but they played well enough to have a chance to win. This game gives me hope that they aren't going to just fold and fall out of playoff position.

Reports Jets add Jiri Tlusty
Frolik could play top 6 minutes for a lot of teams in the league. Not hard to imagine a team like Edmonton or Columbus throwing 4 million+ at him. I love Frolik but can we afford to spend 4 million on him for 4 or 5 years? I'm not sure.

Seems unlikely that he will be able to play up to that contract.

Reports Jets add Jiri Tlusty
I like this a lot more than I would have liked acquiring Bergenheim. Nice move. Maybe we can even keep him around after this season if he shows well... he is only 26 and would come at a reasonable price.
