Chimera to the 2nd line, then to the press box. I can only assume this means he's being traded imminently

 

[Suds]

As much as I like Olesky I have to admit he didn't really play that well.

I still think we need an Olesky-like player on D (or several).

Somebody said the Jets are one of the biggest teams. Is that true?

Hey that's my line!

 

[tycoonheart]

Has there been any word on Schmidt's rehab?

I think big buff alone makes them one of the biggest teams in the league, dude is an absolute monster. Myers is a big guy too, it should be interesting how he plays on a not bottom feeding team and see if he can regain some of that form he had his rookie season.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Has there been any word on Schmidt's rehab?

He's been skating with Hershey in non-contact jersey the past two practices. I haven't heard an update from today, but he could draw in as soon as this weekend if everything goes right.

Man, that is great news. Green is so much better with Schmidt than Hillen.

per Tim Leone w/ hershey

Nate Schmidt (broken shoulder blade) remained in a non-contact jersey at practice and likely will not return to the lineup this weekend.

"He hasn't been quite cleared [for contact]," Bears head coach Troy Mann said. "He did a lot today. It's getting very, very close for him to get the black [contact] jersey on. Doubtful for the weekend after speaking with the doctors yesterday. I think we're looking more at the following weekend right now."

Dag. I guess there's the update for today.

#NHLJets D pairs this morning: Chiarot-Byfuglien, Enstrom-Myers, Stuart-Trouba and Harrison-Postma.

 

[tycoonheart]

Would love to see Trotz put 43 up top to start the game to loosen up big Buff.

 

[ChibiPooky]

That's a strong defense.

 

[Calicaps]

That's a strong defense.

Very stout, and they have good tending.

Offense seems to be their issue, especially now that Perrutu is done for the year.

 

[JMT21]

Jets STH here... I read somewhere that the Caps. have some ridiculous stats when scoring first and when giving up the first goal. Can't recall where I read it.

Any help?

 

[Suds]

bottom feeding team

Jets are playing tough. Perrault is out for the season - I guess.

Caps could move up from "wild card" with a win. I hope the Caps don't start with their signature 1st period "shrug".

 

[Capathetic]

Correct. The Caps can hold leads now and take pride in winning 2-0.

Better come out hard tonight

Not sure what they are now. If you're on Twitter, @alex_prewitt or @JapersRink might know.

per memory recall listening to Locker/Benonoti

something like 24-1-2

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

That's a strong defense.

The Jets? Disagree, unless you're referring to the physical attribute.

 

[ChibiPooky]

The Jets? Disagree, unless you're referring to the physical attribute.

Well there are 8 of them. Strength in numbers

 

[discobob]

Would love to see Trotz put 43 up top to start the game to loosen up big Buff.

Sure, go ahead and hit him, but it's not going to do much loosening. OV with a perfectly timed hit is probably the only one capable of doing much damage on Buff.

 

[Capitlols]

Is Perreault done for the year b/c of that Carcillo slash?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Pavelec starting for WPG.

Any help?

Trailing first: 4-16-6 (15.4 winning %)
Scoring first: 27-1-4 (tied with NYR for most wins in the NHL)

The Jets? Disagree, unless you're referring to the physical attribute.

Ehhh...

Jets have top-3 RD's in the league along with Preds and Caps. I won't comment on the left side because i have no idea who Chiarot is (have heard that he's been good with Buff though) but Enstrom is very good offensive D and Stuart is good 3rd pairing LD.
