I often wonder why they haven't tried him on the left. It's ****** because now he's injured...but he probably would have been a solid option on the bottom pairing.
Great news that Myers and Buff are back, but I'm always wary about this because it always seems like the Jets play their best hockey when they are decimated by injuries.
Let's hope that's not the case and they go on a streak of domination and end the season strong.

I don't know if it would violate board rules on libel if one's suggestion is so fatuous as to deny all credulity, but I'm gonna guess it's when Harrison Gillooly'd him after the game.
Note: Harrison did no such thing.

Little bit of
for Postma, considering we won't likely see him for the rest of the season.Don't know how he got into the doghouse (though I'm thinking it had something to do with playing 20+ minutes beside Pardy) but when he got out he always stepped up. Thinking of the big game he had last year when he got the call at 6:55 while sipping coffee on the way to the rink.
Good work buddy.

Feel bad for Postma. Hopefully next year brings him a little more luck (and playtime), whether it's with the Jets or not.
I thought I read that Postma practiced this morning partnered with Ellerby. If so, how could he practice with a significant injury suffered in the game two nights ago?
If we can get Little back this week, and Perreault by next week, I'll be very happy.
I am keen to see our forward group all together after the trade deadline deals....

Okay, thanks.
Too bad for Postma. I really liked his game earlier in the year and then again on Saturday night.

Good news about Buff and Myers but 
poor Postma. Finally gets back after ridiculous benching. Plays a great game, half of it injured and now is out for an extended time.
poor Postma. Finally gets back after ridiculous benching. Plays a great game, half of it injured and now is out for an extended time.I believe the other players, IE Little, Perreault, Chariot were skating on their own (IE not a full practice)
Little won't play tomorrow but he's close. Maybe next game.
Sure would be nice to see the team at full strength when everyone is healthy. Will look like a pretty deadly lineup.

It's great to hear Myers and possibly Buff may be back by tomorrow but concerned that Little might be slightly worse than first thought. He is close I hope though and Machoo skating is awesome news.
Especially, with Aavco reporting this morning he was doing wind sprints. It sounds like he is well past the tentative first few skates, and into the conditioning part of his return. I fully expect that he is back practicing with the team within the week with full contact and back in the lineup safely before months end.

Near the end of the 2nd postma got his legs tangled up with a tampa player and they both fell awkwardly to the ice in front of the net. He struggled a bit to get up after that and looked a little tender.
I remember they showed a replay of the action in front of the net but nothing was mentioned.

Buff and Myers returning is great news for the Jets. This should alleviate some pressure off the goaltender. It would be awesome if Little can start the game after tomorrow. I would love to see Perreault and Chiarot back by April 1, but that may be a bit too optimistic.
If I were Maurice, I would put Pavelec in net tonight, and have the coaching staff work with hutch to correct some bad habits he has developed since the All Star break. I think what Hutch needs is a break, possibly ending on the final game of the homestand. It will give him a chance to regroup after a horrendous month.
Either way, I think it may be wise to finish the season with the rotation, since Pavelec is well rested, and Hutch was ill equipped to carry the team by himself.

it's not like our goaltending has been under much pressure lately....what are we averaging? 20 shots against over the past 5 games?
