Wow, that must have been surreal for them. I just imagine that with interview during the intermission and everything.
I'm jealous, I plan to one day go for a road trip like that. But probably more a Mon/Tor or Ott/Tor.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Hey, the league is looking into it!
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
"Looking into it" means absolutely nothing.

Just read an article in the Detroit Free Press about how Gordie Howe is struggling with dementia 
I actually met him once at the arena named after him in Traverse City. There was an open skate and he was out there with us. I was a terrible skater and he helped me out with my movement. He also talked to my Dad about the NHL for about a half hour. Great, great guy.

Campbell is a piece Of shit. Give Columbus an OT point at the very least. That city's gone through enogh this season. They've just discovered that even time is conspiring against them, they don't need this non-action from the league.

Then they'll only be 10 points out of second to last place, that'll help for sure!
This is almost like the USC - Utah football game last year. But I think in that case they overturned some points and the other team ended up winning the game hours after it had ended. (people were picking up betting slips from the floor to collect winnings!)
I agree, Columbus should get an OT point.

Yeah, just read that as well, I know I have mentioned before that I played on a team with his grandson and Gordie actually came to one of our games, and I got to meet him and what not, but he was a pretty cool person, it is sad to hear this.
Now we just need a perfect February and maybe we can climb out of the bottom 5.
What a waste. Oh well, it should drive up Moen and Gill's value for the trade deadline. I just hope Gauthier doesn't go out to get rentals when we're not making the playoffs. Don't think I'm going to watch the game tonight, I have other shit to do, and New Jersey games are never entertaining in any way.

Moving on up! 8-4-1 since the PK started it's streak... could still be better.

Great news about Bryz getting the start tonight, hopefully he can start putting a streak of good games.
DK about great news. Bob has been putting up good numbers AND getting the W, where you can't really say the same about bryz for either category besides last game.
I just feel like we're mis-using our goalies again. I'd like lavy to show bryz that he's not the guaranteed #1 and Bob can steal the show, but it doesn't look like that'll happen.
Best part is that Doughty's goal was on the PP. If they had gotten the call right, Toronto would still be in last.

I'm reading all this stuff on Evander Kane. Jets fans can't really want to run him out of town right?
I doubt the sane ones want him to leave.

I guess the question would be then, do the insane ones outnumber the sane?

Do they really need Kane when they've got Big "Defensive Liability" Buff?
Fun fact: Byfuglien is 7th in blocked shots amongst defensemen on the team. 7th. Think about that for a moment here.
KingHenrik30: News to me! I dunno if they're making something out of nothing or maybe I just haven't been following things closely.
I read here that the NHL investigated it and turned up nothing. There was also a reporter who had looked into the restaurants independently and got no confirmation of the story being true.
I've heard people talking about it, but no actual movement. General perception from my experience is that it's been a strong rumour that would suck if true. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone even saying that they "want him out of town".

I still can't forgive Sundin for what he put the franchise through in the tail-end of his career.
You do realize that Byfuglien has missed about 15 games due to injury right? Probably not. Your saltiness amuses me though.
Let E. Kane know that he's welcome in Chicago if he leaves Winnipeg.
Huh:
And:
I Hate Evander Kane
The first two posts:
"there is so many things wrong with this post"
"i've herd from numerous sources"
And apparently there were pictures of monkeys on the group page beforehand.
Sounds like a vocal (and ignorant) minority making a stink out of nothing. A shame. I would totally understand if he wanted out of Winnipeg, but he probably doesn't want to validate these people either.
Well, that's balls. Bunch of idiots.
I really hope the rumours quiet down and the ignorant shitheads shut up.

About Kane, I am fine with whatever he does off the ice as long as it is legal and it does not affect his performance on the ice. You may have noticed that he is on the IR with a concussion. Now, I have seen each and every Jets game this season and I have seen nothing out of the ordinary for hits when it came to Kane. I've heard rumours aplenty about him in regards to this concussion that it was at some nightclub incident and he got his ass kicked for being a douche, but I really don't care. As long as he produces on the ice, that's all I ask of him. There is no chance in hell that I want him traded, as I think he is going to be a force in the NHL to be reckoned with. I'm not insane, so of course I want to hold on to him. I think he's an RFA at the end of this year, meaning we at least have the right to match any offers he is given, which I think we should do so.
But that's not a call for me to make. I know one thing for sure: The Jets are a much better team when Evander Kane is producing as he can than without him. This summer is going to be interesting, and I hope he remains with us. Rumours and hearsay be damned.
Byfuglien and Burmistrov are back tonight in Tampa. I hope they can help us win, since we cannot afford to take ANY team lightly at this time. We need all the wins we can muster.

He didn't put us through anything. It was his choice to make.
I was a bit sore about that, but at this point, it's over and done with. I let it go ages ago.
Still my favourite Leaf. I'm excited for Saturday.
Jets investigated and determined that the nightclub rumour was false. While this could be a 'cover up', seems a lot more likely to me that it is actually false and some knobs on the internet had made it up to explain his concussion.
As for him being an RFA, the Jets very likely won't have to "match offers". They'll have plenty of time to negotiate with him exclusively before offer sheets come into play.
I'm trying to confirm what I just heard on PTI.
Dean Lombardi just said the clock was fine, that it stopped because it went faster earlier in the minute so it re calibrated at that time.
edit: And LeBrun just confirmed that on TSN right now...wooooow really that's your excuse?

Uh, how did they make the time go faster than? Only thing I can think of is a mechanical issue as I don't think they have anything that can speed up the time unless I'm wrong.

Dr. Lombardi?

I was thinking the same thing. :lol
Winnipeg deserves a team more than Dallas does.
Gossip happens with sports that are in places that actually give a shit. Canadian teams always have more of this type of shit because hockey is a big deal there. Look at the US, there is so much drama and gossip surrounding the NBA, NFL, and MLB because that's what people care about here. Also, lol the Stars.
I don't know what makes me more skeptical of Dr. Lombardi's explanation. The fact that he's the Kings GM or the fact that he misspelled two words in that brief email.
He might be right, but it'd be good to hear from someone independent of the Kings organization.
