Jets Too Silent at Trade Deadline
Winnipeg Jets fans should remember why their team left in the first place in 1996.
It was because the management couldn't put together a team that could compete on a regular basis.
They wouldn't put together the team.
The didn't put together the team.
If Winnipeg wants to keep their Jets again, they need to be more aggressive in their wheeling and dealing...

Evander Kane and Nik Antropov celebrate what turned out to be the game-winning goal as Tuukka Rask lays on the ice.

‘Death By Firing Squad’ Hockey Postgame Celebration Gets Weird
Post-game celebrations of this sort are weird… Scratch that, any type of celebration where players are mimicked to be shot by a firing squad is beyond weird. Check out the below video which features one of the more bizarre team rituals that I have ever seen in any sport. Oddly enough it happened in hockey and from our Russian friends.
A massive thanks to Puck Daddy for figuring...

What do Mark Streit, Nik Antropov, Ryan Whitney, Robyn Regehr, Tim Connolly and Dustin Penner have in common?

Randy Carlyle will never announce his starting goalie, which prompted this question when he was coaching the Manitoba Moose: “Who’s your backup goalie tonight, coach?”
A lot of NHL coaches don’t like the new NHL collective bargaining agreement. Too many rules, too many restrictions, too many off-days, I’m being told.

Nikolai Antropov, 32, C, 6'6, 245 lbs
Last Year's Ranking: #8
This Year's Ranking: #17
Difference: -9
With the largest demotion in the top 25, Nik Antropov's extremely sub-par 35 point season made him the goat in this ranking in 2012.
Though he did score the first goal in Winnipeg Jets 2.0 history, his 35 points (15 goals, 20 assists)...
What they are doing with the money
ESPN listed the top earners by sport and by country today. You can check it out if you look at ESPN for NBA playoff news (and only NBA playoff news) today.

The Honeymooners’ Season Finale

Crosby’s better - so is Malkin, Neal, etc.

The $4M Grinder
from Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun, Every hockey team has them. Call them the grunts.
They are the fourth-liners who toil away from the limelight, content to do their part while others get the glory.
Not getting scored against is their top priority, getting down and dirty their M.O.
It’s hockey’s equivalent of down-on-your-knees, mud-under-the-fingernails labour, and if...
