January 21, 20187 yr comment_314575 Fans of the Winnipeg jets is having problems so I'll just copy/paste what they said Adam Lowry could return on the California road trip,Shawn Matthias will not return until at least after the All Star break. Mark Scheifele will begin off ice workouts this week.
January 22, 20187 yr comment_314703 Connor Hellebuyck name second star of the week: https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/hellebuyck-named-second-star-of-the-week/c-295172188 Quote Hellebuyck, 24, led the Jets to two straight wins last week coming out of the player break. He stopped 30 of 31 shots and also saved both shootout attempts in a 2-1 shootout win against the Calgary Flames on Saturday before starting again the next night and saving all 29 shots in a 1-0 shutout victory against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. In total, he saved 59 of the 60 shots he faced last week for a .983 save percentage. He also had a 0.48 goals-against average in the two games. Nathan MacKinnon and Brad Marchand were named the week's first and third stars, respectively.

Almost surely they will. I like it. Win your division, then win your conference, then win the league. Its only unbalanced if you look at records alone... but the fact that records are developed by playing teams primarily in your division and conference means that this way of constructing the playoffs makes the most sense. Its all about win the division, win the conference, then win the league.
January 23, 20187 yr comment_314853 yeah there's just one problem, isn't vegas in first place right now overall in the league and our conference
January 23, 20187 yr comment_314855 Just now, iHeart said: yeah there's just one problem, isn't vegas in first place right now overall in the league and our conference Would love to play Vegas in the first round.
January 23, 20187 yr comment_314856 yeah but would also like it if the Jets would survive the first round, I mean yes they have beaten the Knights at least once this season, but we were on home ice Edited January 23, 20187 yr by iHeart
January 23, 20187 yr comment_314876 Jets match up pretty well with all Central teams not from Tennessee. I'd like our odds against any of 'em, especially with home ice.

Regardless of how teams made the playoffs (and yes I agree there is room for improvement in how that is determined), all teams made it because they did what they had to do. All 16 teams who make the playoffs are strong teams comparatively speaking across the league, however, obviously some playoff (and non-playoff) teams are stronger than others and some playoff teams are the strongest of the pile.

It all comes down to the way teams are built in the salary cap era. I'm far from the first to have the theory that there's 3-5 elite teams, 3-5 awful teams and 20+ that are virtually interchangeable. Been like this for a few yrs already. Makes for parity, or better, the appearance of parity. Gone are the days where a #1 seed was an overwhelming fave over #8.

Craig Buttons will be on after the next break? Sounds to me it's just more of a secured timeslot. Similar to having Gabe Morency from MTL on every Thurs (?) or Hacksaw Hamilton from San Diego on every Friday. Dreger seems to be on > 1/week. Which isn't a bad thing.
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315111 It's what we call a "feature"...it'll be a formal thing that's scheduled to run at a specific time, that you can promote so people know to tune in for it each week....or, in this case, twice a week....

January 24, 20187 yr comment_315114 As Lawless explained on his last show, its also a paid gig for the guest. He told a funny story how he asked Dreger to come H&L early in their run and Dreger said sure no problem. Then some time later, Lawless asked him again. Again, Dreger said sure. They kept that up fairly regularly until Dreger said "so guys, maybe we need to formalize this..." ie. pay him to be a regular guest. So its a good get for the Big Show and means the station was willing to part with some cash to secure Bobby Mac. Interesting that it's not Dreger (former local boy). But I prefer McKenzie.

I think Dregs still does Wednesday on the Afternoon Drive show.
