TSN's panel is so much better ? At least the suits/ties are more modern. It seems like SN's analysts purchase their suits at Target or Walmart

It really is astonishing that Feaster lasted as long as he did. Good lord his trades were something else.
Low expectations. The last time Jokinen was traded he netted Higgins + Kotalik.

Feaster sold high on Bouwmeester after Brent wasn't renewed. Berra doesn't deserve any more chances after this game. A .750 sv% is playing your way off the team. Not to mention they can't generate any offense with him in the net.

I don't. He got a raw deal from Hartley/the former GM. He had more wins then any Flames goalie when he got sent down, and had a particularly poor game vs Detroit before getting sent down. Both goalies now have had multiple games that were worse than Joey's games, but Berra is from Switzerland, so a kinship with the coach...and Ramo has actually played in the NHL before, you have to have one of those on the roster.

It's shuffling chairs on the titanic at this point, but now that the GM who brought these two "undiscovered gems" from outside the NHL to allow a smooth transition after Kipper decided it wasn't worth it anymore, is mercifully gone, bringing back Joey and maybe he gets a shot with another NHL team as a result doesn't really have a downside.

It'd be more than surprising if both of these goalies are full time with the big team next year.

Rebuild year, might as well try out new goalies. Joey will be back

The Jets should have fired Noel two months ago, and managed to salvage the season.

Karma has come to bite me in the butt...

I probably enjoyed the Canucks loss last night a little too much.

Totally worth it!

Jersey? Goaltending? Get real.

This roster is awful and will get a lot worse before it gets better.

Fixed that. Claude Noel made the SC top 10 more than his entire team.

You guys shouldn't have faith in Cheveldayoff either. He's the guy who let him outstay his welcome.

Yup, could have Miikka in his prime and results wouldn't be much different. Goalies can't score

Both those factors have added up to losses so far. It's not unrealistic.

Apparently Hudler is not a team player, says Eric Francis.
