Tonight, Tonight: Wherein We Momentarily Turn Against Canada

PrintTime for the Jets to bring destruction upon the Canadian capital. In all seriousness, we should be able to grab this one, and I'm excited for the possibility of seeing Alexander Burmistrov in action again. As Mark Scheifele's games before he's OHL-bound wind down, we can see he should simply not be spending an entire season up with this team (despite the goal). We want him coming back to us a better skater and faceoff man, and tossing him into the fire this early (and giving him marginal minutes) is doing him no favours.
Of course, I could be wrong and Claude Noel, Kevin Cheveldayoff, and Co. are crazy enough to continue this charade...

I'd like your prediction but...
Claude Noel emoting? Really? I think Scheifele could score 8 goals and it still wouldn’t garner a response
In Canada our balls are bigger

I swear I almost saw him crack a smile
when they won. Though it’s possible he was just grimacing as he hiked up his pants.

Burmi!
also I would assume Mason is playing tonight right?
I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter
Yeah, that's a good guess
I can’t see why they’d hesitate, especially since last night’s game went into extra time.

We’re so bad, even the Jets think they can blow us out. :(

This is a wonderful hockey season.

That Oduya-Meech pairing is going to give me nightmares.
They terrify me.
I think we’re good enough to win, but we’ve got to see that same sort of jump and effort from our guys as we did in the Pens game.

But they crapped the bed in the 3rd

I have a hard time believing
that they would neglect to blow small buffaloes as well.
