1. I think it's too early to say 2nd half collapse, but it certainly appears to be a possibility.
2. I like lots of what Sawyer has to say, but the tulips and daisies when the ship is sinking is getting to be a little much.
3. Moving KC offa the line with 55 just needs to happen, and happen tonight. Could that be a spark?? A wake-up call??
4. I'm going to give it one more period, and hope the old lady can put something else on other than the Great British Bake Off.

0.3 expected goals in a period....not gonna win many games that way.

Thursday is good TV night and here I am stuck to this game!

Hard to believe I know but I really hate to be too negative... but something I heard before the Penguins game really got my ire up.

It was something I heard a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, which was how fatigued the team is, how much hockey they've played, how much they needed the break. I will grant them that the season wears on the guys but that kind of talk after 47 games in the easy part of the season just shouldn't happen. I can't say I ever hear the true superstars of the league ever talk like that...McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, McKinnon, any Bruin...they just don't talk in terms that can be interpreted as weakness and let that kind of thinking affect their mindset. Maybe they do and I'm just not listening.

Jets, every year I hear this, sometimes multiple times a year. I thought it was only when Maurice and Wheeler were here but it's carrying on, like it's Jets tradition...the excuse machine. It seems like it's the veteran players who have been here for while.   Well here we are, they just had 10 days off!  Going into the last 30 games that are way tougher than the first 50, not to mention a whole other level with the playoffs. Just hoping they can get this turned around because 5 game losing streak is ugly, and each loss seems to be looking a little worse than the last... tonight a lot worse.

PP. If you want back in nows the time.

[lenny]

Oh my...

[lenny]

PP is disastrous.

[darlyn]

ohh ffs

[Tracker]

Don't know where the Jets' head are tonight, but I'm pretty sure they can see their livers from there.

[sgtbarnes]

It's a comedy of errors. Keystone cops. Wow.

Somehow that sums up this whole game. 

[Tracker]

jets officially in freefall now. Even just making the playoffs seems iffy.

[sgtbarnes]

I won a lot of money betting against the Jets post all-star last year. Time to start cashing in again.

Penquins on home ice after a road trip? Easy money.

Flyers just seem to want this game more than us

[ekjet72]

Just got in and I see it's a smack down. Our schedule is going to be tough going forward. If they are tired from playing so much, so should the other teams they ve played no less. So it's excuse time already? As I said earlier, this team has scar tissue from last year, that hasn't been excised. And just as importantly, so have the fans. This was supposed to be the season that would erase last year's debacle.The result won't be pretty at the box office. And I will have to eat crow from my Flames supporting friends.
