He can afford a new Airstream, they still build new Airstreams. - CharlieDog
He had a newer Airstream but he traded it for a do over on the financing deal he signed a few months prior and project Bonair Pop up. |

Other than sentimental reasons, why is Dale Hawerchuk so highly regarded as a future Jets coach ?
Has he won anything ? WJC Coach ? |

Peter Tessier: Gardiner an option for Jets but term an issue
Should Gardiner be an option and does he have a bit of an unearned reputation? - Peter.Tessier
Congrats to Joel Armia. It is going to sound sarcastic, as the guy was a ferrari with flat tires. So much talent but just can't skate. But the kid secured a 5.2M deal over 2 seasons. All this with just a 23 point season. Good for you Joel! Chevy has moved on from the right players, and I love watching them get PAID by the other clubs.
Meyers 6M AAV (30M)
Trouba - BIG$$$
Tanev - 3.5M AAV (21M)
Armia- 2.6M AAV (5.2M)
Frolik - 4.3M (21M)
Hayes - 7M (49M)
Kinda makes up for Little and Kuli, the 2 worste contracts on this squad currently.

Learned something new so i’ll share. Did you know that the Winnipeg Maple Leafs lost In the stanly cup final in 1908. This is before their even was an NHL. When our team folded, Toronto took/borrowed/stole whatever the name, in or around 1914 when they introduced the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It’s funny to me they had to take that name, couldn’t come up with their own lol.

Who would you suggest as coach, with Barry Trotz already taken? Who
would you hire? - grahamzky
Kruger and Vincent would be on the shortlist but the possibilities are endless. If it’s a mid-season firings an ‘interim head coach’ could be Crawford, Carlyle, or Hitch. |

From abroad, Maple Leafs seems like the perfect name for a Canadian team, particularly when compared to some of the other early names: Athletics & Bulldogs (Quebec), Wanderers & Maroons (MTL), and Tigers (Hamilton)
Although, it is unique to have a plant based name/mascot. I think they are rarer than "environmental" names (Lightning, Hurricanes, Stars....🙂...... |

Oh gawd!! Kruger, Crawford, maybe.
Carlyle, Hitchcock - no, no, no! Their ship has left the port.

New blog ....please ! - bennythehat
Re your previous question, Benny, maybe Hawerchuk is a sentimental choice. But it just seems he has a boat load of coaching experience and is always hanging around "The Peg", or so it seems.
Chipman is said to be a loyal owner/boss, so not expecting any changes soon. |

Interesting to know.
We still have a connection to the former maple leaf logo as there is a maple leaf on the Jets uni. The Jet is overlaid on the maple leaf so we are the “Maple Jets”

Imagine, if you will:
Perreault-Scheifele-Laine
Connor-Copp-Wheeler
Ehlers-Little-Roslovic
Vesalainen-Lowry-Appleton
This is likely the most lethal forward group the Jets will ever have iced. One can make an argument for flipping Little and Copp, simply because Little and Wheeler have past chemistry, and Copp is a better safety net for Roslovic - Rexypoo
Switch little with copper and it works for me. |

Pete has moved on to the Athletic.
I’m in talks to become your new Jets blogger.
Prepare for some Heavy Hendy Talk, PeeMo Bashing, shots at Chevy and rants about trading Wheeler and Little.
Whooooooooo! |

If Pete doesn’t put up a blog by tomorrow, I will submit the oft requested but never premiered “Buffs Buffet”- The hottest takes fresh off the grill segment to the comment thread.
PM me with questions or your own take.
Not trying to mow your lawn Tessier, but we need content bud! |

Yeah, go for it. We need some content from a perspective different from supporting Rexy,s hockey views.
Sorry Pete, but the masses can wait no more. |

Well The Jets Hockey Buzzards seem Hungry for some Hot Takes so let’s cook it up like Ibaka.
It’s hot- here’s an Ice Water- which is exactly what Hellybuck needs to have running through his veins in a return to forum this season. Helly needs to bounce back from a decent year and get back to his top 5 status. I hope to see him wearing his signature magician coat again at the NHL awards. A lacklustre season from him will obviously kill home ice or worse. Take a big drink, as I believe Helly will be back to his weird and wonderful self.
White Wine? Seems to be lots of whining coming out of that room. Is there another issue? They rallied after Toby threw Kane’s poop in the shower and Buff covered for him. Is there another Evander in that room that needs to go? There’s a bad Wheel in there, throwing off the alignment.
Frosty Glass of Keith’s? Old heavy Reliable. That’s Buff. The big guy will have a huge year. Speaking from experience, when you are that big and get hurt with high miles on the odometer it takes time to get it back. He’s obviously my guy, but when he’s on his game I think everyone can agree he’s still top 5 in the league of players that can actually change a game single handily. To use a term Tanner hates, Buff is still a Gamechanger. He will retire a Jet.
Deep Fried Pickles? One of my favs- but the Pickle Chevy is in with possible offer sheets isn’t good. I had written off the offer sheet as a legitimate possibility until this summer. It just didn’t happen. But... Brian Burke and Kevin Lowe never did fight in a barn, and Bergy did just do a favour for his agent buddy, so is it a real threat? Heads up Chevy.
How bout some Baked Flounder with Tie sauce? That’s PeeMo currently in my not so humble opinion. His decisions at times are baked, the team seems to flounder around when he can’t figure it out, but he clearly has ties to the organization. I watched his tenure with the Leafs closely and see a more experienced, well spoken, but stubborn coach still in Maurice. I think it’s time to cut bait and let him wash up in Seattle.
T Bone Steak- Lets get to the Meat here. After the underwhelming return for Trouba (I will concede he’s going to be ghastly overpaid in NY, but hey it’s what they do, there’s a network called “Yes” FFS and Don LaGreca is a beautiful human being). But trading Trouba for a mulligan on Ham Fisted Hayes and Neil Peanuts was downright angering to me even though I will admit I have called Trouba overrated. Well he’s damn well better than that return. To get to the bone: has ownership put the brakes on any “Big” moves by Chevy? Do they not trust the recent moves? (I don’t) Are they considering replacing both Kevin and Paul? I believe they are at least considering it, which has them in a reactionary holding pattern that hasn’t seemed to be working of late. Chipman- if you need to go take a dump, we will support it, just use the bathroom in the boathouse please.
Another Drink? I need one after that. How bout a Yeager Bomb? Yeah no thanks. That’s what the Tanev contract from Rudderless over in Pitt is akin to. I liked Tanev, but I’m passing on that one.
For Dessert: Classic Pilsbury Turonovers. Done right these things are gold. With Myers gone there will be far less turnovers to share so get em while there’re hot. I can only hope the Turnover of the Jets roster makes us say Hoo Hoo! (The clip on YouTube of the 80’s commercial where Doughboy laughs so hard he poops icing would never make it to television these days and I highly recommended it)
Enjoy your evening and be sure to tip your server, his name is Dion and there’s no way he’s going be be a Jet. Thanks |

Well done! Do we have a Jets HB writer in our midst??
With PT's awol, looks like there is replacement nipping at PT's heels!! Just like hockey, there's always someone ready to step up!!
Toby threw the poop in the shower and Buff covered?? I have a new found respect for Toby, although I always did respect him as a Jet, age caught up with him as it does all players. But, if he did this, then Toby is the "Man"
Toby needs to be honoured one day in the Peg like the other greats have been. A little more time to heal his ego but Wpg will welcome him back one day and give him the respect he deserves.

Thanks Charlie. It was fun to do. I enjoy your takes and nominate you for the next fill in Jets Blogger.
And yes, I heard that about Toby from the most connected guy I know to the Jets. I was surprised as well, but it’s possible. |
