Jets claimed Miettinen per twitter #jets

Cooter will make the most of his chance, I'm sure. But if it's not working for some reason, I wouldn't mind if Lavvy put Read up there for a bit. He can play center (is a "natural" center) and is closer to being "like Giroux" than anyone else in terms of speed, play making and is RH. It would be a good fit.

Yeah, he does, but I think this year is it. After that he's RFA (I think)

Radulov will be back in the NHL next year.

Plan the parade!

Maybe. I think Bob and Doug were singing about him at the beginning of this:

@flyercanuck can't wait. Definitely the highlight of the year for me. Looks to be official re Connolly and Devante-Smith - http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/182789/la_id/1.htm I was a bit disappointed that Gianluca Curcuruto wasn't invited but the depth at D looks to be impressive as well. Too bad Hishon is still having concussion symptoms. He could make that team if he was healthy.

@jammer2 - here's a local column on the decison: http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/sports/37846-hockey-canada-blew-it-mackinnon

No, I have a really powerful telescope. Tell your dog to get off the computer! He's slobbering all over it.

@JackStraw - take you and you're logic somewhere else Jacko! (good to see you)

@TedZep. Oh dear...

@Irishjim. Yeah, I thought % was an important stat to track. I thought of this last week, as I got more into the betting. I certainly wasn't trying to make others look bad (well, only relative to me )

@Digityman: awesome chart!. Ha ha

I knew what I was doing SKifit!Timing is everything. Like Location.

Ok, that didn't work. I was trying to post a table showing this podein25 guy leading the pick'em game at winning% (67%). But I can't get it into a table...one more try. This is Top 10. I will surely suck from this point forward. Click To Enlarge

I'm not sold on either of them, although Bourdon has looked far better than Marshall. I honestly don't think Marshall can play in the NHL, except maybe as a #6 on a lousy team. Bourdon: he's high risk, high reward. We'll see...

Assimov deserved a beating for that bullshit

Grioux is a special kind of beast. Like a moose

I think they will both be considerably better than they are now, being 22 and 23 respectively. But mainly by being more consistent. And more complete players. Especially Voracek. I would resign Jagr already for next year and have him spend as much time with Jake as possible, preferably with a puck. Even if a little bit rubs off, it's gonna help Jake enormously IMO. I don't think he'll ever be a sniper though. He has very little scoring knack.

Hey @blocker, is "they" his teammates? I assume, but can't really tell from your post. Assuming it is, there's nothing you can say except: "prove to them you're not." Win a battle. Win another one. And again. You get the idea.

It seems to make sense to me. Looks like they basically switched from lots of east-west travel to more north-south. I don't know if transportation hubs/networks support it or not, but I understand the rationale at least.

@jammer2: +1

Filth

Thanks for the catch, lol Honest, I've never beaten my kids, or anybody else's. I swear
