  • Perhaps we'll get insight like: How Matthews feels about the Jets. How Babcock would set up the Jets power play.  How far would the Jets go if Anderson was in net.  If the Jets pla

    I bought tickets to game 2 of the Canucks/Bruins Stanley Cup final.  Paid $500 a pop.  Money well spent.

They needed to keep Statsny. Dumb move on their part, but one I'm real happy about.

Disagree (obvs now it's easier to) - but I'd have said the same even if they squeaked in.  

They weren't winning a Cup this year.  There was little chance they'd even be sniffing at a Conference title. 

GM smartly assessed that & obtained assets for a piece likely gone at season's end. 

'Twas a solid trade from both sides.

So, far be it to complain about making the playoffs, especially as I'll be there this year as opposed to 2015....

That said, little bummed about the early start times / catering to the East.  I get the why, doesn't mean I have to like it.  2 central teams playing.  Games at 7:00 or 7:30 are most fan-friendly, I.E. sensible. 

And yeah, I think most are counting down the days until Rogers national TV deal ends.  Obviously they're vastly outmatched by TSN' on air talent.  Damn shame to have a TON of great hockey ppl essentially off 'til the summer while Spengler Cup regulars cover Canadian teams in the playoffs. 

Here's one for us to ponder.  How many Sat night games do the Jets get this postseason??   Methinks we'll virtually have to make the Cup final before Rogers sees us worthy of their Holy night broadcast.

I'm thrilled. I have an eight year-old at home and was not looking forward to having him up late multiple times per week. 

The East is the biggest market and it makes sense cater to them. Also means that the late games start at 9pm, which is also great. 

 

It just makes sense all around (and benefits me). So, win-win.
