Jets are one of the most entertaining teams to watch IMO.

They're a little reckless defensively but their offense can fly. They have a great mix of size and speed so they can score off the rush or cycle you to death. They play a physical brand of hockey. The way they move the puck on the PP is impressive too.

What it shows is that the expansion draft process was perhaps a little too generous. This is not the same sort of crap teams our own expansion era spawned, that's for damn sure.

The NHL has been chasing Vegas for a long time. They desperately wanted to be the only big fish in a major market. I seriously doubt we'll see Seattle get anywhere near as good an expansion setup.

Lehner continues to post better numbers than both our goalies. But our goalies don't make mistakes or let in bad goals like lehner does.
Oh, and you think our defense is bad?

Let it go dude, jesus. Murray wasn't good and has been fired, Lehner is a fine goalie, who isn't great, playing on a team that isn't great. You were wrong, it happens.

Not until everyone agrees with me. All together now..."we should have let Tim Murray take over when the time was perfectly right and Tim Murray should not have been fired in buffalo for the excellent clean up job he was in the process of completing".
Thank you

Remember when Boston had three picks in a row in the first round a couple of years ago? Imagine they took Barzal, Boeser and Chabot.

Spezza with just 12 points in 34 games. Getting less than an average of 14 minutes a night.

Said he would be a buyout candidate before his contract was up. Players like him tend not to age well.

It was the right move for the organization to trade him. Just a shame Murray failed to get anything good in return.

Yeah, that return was awful. Same with the return for Havlat.
