Somebody is gonna get the 'jackets if the don't pull their heads out of their asses.

In a bad way.  Watching the Canucks win is like watching the Nazis overrun Europe.

Well that was still a fairly engrossing event. And you get to cheer when the bad guys lose.

I'm sure I could go all Groundhog Day on you and post articles with an identical title from the last three years, but surely at this point even you are posting that article for sheer comedy value.

I can't believe they're even still mentioning Reinsdorf as a possible owner.

As of today, your Winnipeg Jets are leading the Southeast Division, and thus are in third place in the conference.

I don't think I can count high enough for the numer of plans they had to keep the Coyotes there.  The NHL has put so much effort into keeping it there, it's insane.  It's like they're buying time for the team to move anywhere but in Quebec city.

On this particular deal, I just don't know how they plan to make it work, without city/state subsidies and without losing 25M$ every year.

Anyway, I take all the Coyotes news with a grain of salt until there's a signed deal to either keep them there or move them elsewhere.

nice to see
4 games in hand toward the Panthers, wich are last of the conference and only 1pt difference though...  It's gonna be hard to make the playoff, but nowhere near as impossible
I like that

[Barrister]

Yeah, the games in hand are definitely the asterisk there.

But still - they've been on a roll, and have climbed up in the standings.  If they can keep this up then who knows what might happen.  Plus even if they don't win the SE division they're very much in the hunt for #8.

I can't believe I am watching a Florida vs Carolina game...

Nash wants a trade. He is finally fed up.

Nice win last night at least.
