3 goals on 22 shots. They were all stoppable and the last one was brutal. He just needed to keep one of them out of the net.
Didn't see any game, focused on the Jays, but how apparent does it need to be for mgmt? McJesus takes a 40%+ contract discount to help them with goaltending...mgmt should be embarrassed and ashamed...Jeez bring up a minor leaguer, maybe lightning in a bottle. DO SOMETHING.
I'm hoping Skinner is on a short leash. Unfortunately good goaltenders are hard to come by.
I agree for goalie availability this past year, but there has been lots of goalies signed past 2 or 3 off seasons who would have loved to play in Edmonton.

Jets signed Kyle Connor to a $96 million dollar extension over 8 years, and a no movement clause. He responded with a hat trick in the season opening loss to Dallas.
He scored a hattie….and they still lost? Wow. What was the final score?
Regardless, don’t worry too much about it Randy, as no doubt they’ll take out their frustrations on the Wild tomorrow night, as they always seem to do!

The entire "no-trade" is bs. The board and union should knix that. Minimum of a 3 team list. Gimme 5 on that list?? Well that got you an extra 100k on your contract. Incentives to add more teams to that list would work.
I love the game, but a no-trade should not exist.

I was surprised to hear about that in other recent contracts as well, but I have to admit I don’t know/haven’t thought about it enough to have an opinion either way.
It became apparent last year with ***** Marner and his no-trade. Yes both team and player sign the contract, but its the player that holds the gun to the owner head.
You as a player wanna play in the NHL? A minimum of 3 trade teams.

Final was 5-4 Stars. I was unable to watch the game because our internet was out from about 5 until 10 pm last night. Had to settle for the recap on my phone.He scored a hattie….and they still lost? Wow. What was the final score?

In this case it was a bit surprising, and unusual for a player to request a no trade clause in Winnipeg. The contract is heavy with signing bonuses, both sides seem very happy with it. The biggest surprise for me is that Connor actually wants to play with the franchise for his entire career. Being from Michigan there was a lot of talk about him going to the Red Wings and being closer to home.
In my mind the Jets organization has done a lot of hard work in creating a great atmosphere where the players are very happy and want to stay with the team. Hellebuyck, Scheifele, Toews, any of these guys could have gone to other teams, that was normally the case for Jets players in years past.

Bruins and Panthers 3-0
TBL lost their opener.
Looks like it's gonna be hard to watch them this season.
They were on Bally.
Don't know where they are this year.
All the NHL games in the Charter/Bright House search come up locked/PPV.

Not much of a Marchand fan, but I will admit the ceremony in Boston for him just now was rather touching.

Yes,he was crying too very much loved here!!!
Soooo, the Avs are off to a great start, much better than last year. Loved how they manhandled NJ and Blackwood hasn't even played yet.
I dont miss Marner, but it appears the Leafs do....

Jets are off to a good start, Red Wings are also, kind of surprising the Penguins are leading the league with 18 points, though they've played one more game than most other teams.
Got our Christmas tree up (I know I know we haven’t had Thanksgiving, yada yada but happy wife happy life lol). Was good seeing Toews and reminiscing but also it’s just weird knowing he’s on the Jets. Still struggling with Kane on the Wings. They play Sunday at noon which means I’ll get to watch (I live 7 hours ahead of central time)!

Toews has fit in very well with the Jets, and I am not the least bit surprised by that. I always believed that he belonged in that dressing room.
Definitely fitting for him to end up at home and I’m happy for him there. Glad he’s still got a little career left. Maybe the Jets can get over the hump this year!
