The_Squid Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Not only is Kadri a twerp and a distraction off the ice, he's a dirty player on the ice... This should really endear him to Shanahan! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthere Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 the fact that they couldn't compete financially. and they could not do it now either. Plus they need somebody to pony up an extra half billion or so to build a new stadium. Have they finished paying for the Olympic Stadium yet., before they tear it down? More NHL news..... Kahdri suspended four games , he is appealing the sentence, he wants 11 game suspension. The Leafs broke my heart, they were eliminated from the playoffs last night. Man I was so hoping they would get on a roll. That is pretty funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubberMiley Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Regardless, that Jets trade was a dumb one. The Sabres made out like bandits.As things have played out so far, this statement makes your observation that signing Clarkson was a great move look like brilliant hockey analysis.

Shady Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 As things have played out so far, this statement makes your observation that signing Clarkson was a great move look like brilliant hockey analysis. I thought it was a great move. I thought he'd be kind of a Lucic type of player. Hit, fight, score 20 plus or minus a few. Others did as well. Regardless, the Jets got ripped off by buffalo, and Clarkson isn't going to change that. Remember when you said they'd make the playoffs a couple of years ago? How'd that work out?

BubberMiley Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ripped off? I realize that you can't elaborate on that evaluation because even you know trying to would make you look foolish. Better to just stick to your guns and hope someone might believe you know what you're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeNumber Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Tyler Myers since coming to the Jets: 14 Games Played - 2 Goals - 8 Assists - 10 Points - +5 Zach Bogosian since leaving the Jets: 12 Games Played - 0 Goals - 4 Assists - 4 Points - +3 Drew Stafford since coming to the Jets: 15 Games Played - 6 Goals - 5 Assists - 11 Points - +1Evander Kane this whole season with the Jets: 37 Games Played - 10 Goals - 12 Assists - 22 Points - -1 Yeah I'm more than happy with that trade as a Jets fan. Not to mention we also have a late 1st rounder in one of the deepest drafts in the last decade as well as Armia and Lemiuex. I've watched every single Jets game this season, all 72 of them. And I can tell you without a doubt that Stafford and Myers are already having a bigger impact on this team than Kane was. The only guy we've aqcuired this season that seems to be having a tough time adjusting is Tlusty and even he hasn't been so bad 3 points in last 9 games. Stempniak might be the best thing to happen to this team at the deadline. Unsung hero of the post-deadline Jets so far.

BubberMiley Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Awesome game though my voice is hoarse from chanting "Pavvy!" Myers shut down Ovechkin brilliantly and Stafford got another two assists. If the Jets keep getting ripped off like that, they'll win the cup before the Leafs even make the playoffs again.

Myers really proved tonight how much of an asset he will be to this team going forward. I don't think ovie has had a tougher matchup all season long. Myers was on him like butter on movie theatre popcorn. Stafford has been pivotal to our 4 game win streak going into the final push for this team. If the Jets can continue to put some more points between themselves and LA over the next 10 games we can guarantee this team it's first playoff berth since the relocation and beginning of Jets 2.0 And Pav's is playng like a man on fire who can only get some water if we gets us to the playoffs. I love this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was talking to a co-worker Watch for the NHL to freeze the Leafs ping pong ball for McDavid. Rogers has paid a lot of money for the NHL and if the Leafs are going to suck there needs be a reason to watch them. The ratings for them are in the pits. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/rogers-plays-blame-game-over-lower-ratings-for-nhl-games/article22731502/ The resurgent Sens and the Hamburgaler aren't enough to give Rogers a return on their investment.

guyser Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I was talking to a co-worker Watch for the NHL to freeze the Leafs ping pong ball for McDavid. Rogers has paid a lot of money for the NHL and if the Leafs are going to suck there needs be a reason to watch them. The ratings for them are in the pits.No doubt there are some who want the 1st pick to go to the Leafs in order to get better ratings, but no malarkey is afoot. The resurgent Sens and the Hamburgaler aren't enough to give Rogers a return on their investment.The Leafs drive the ratings, have since ...well forever . Thats why they are always on the early game, eyeballs on the game equal good ad revenues for the carrier. Not hard to see the ratings are down since the team started tanking. Rogers needs the Leafs to be much better. (psssst...so do the fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Bettman would never freeze the ball for Toronto. When he was made Commissioner of the league in the 90's he had two goals; implement a salary cap and grow the game in the US. He has accomplished the former, as for the latter, the game has without a doubt grown exponentially in California and even Oregon and Seattle. The game has always been popular on the east coast but it's the central US that they have had trouble in, places where Baseball, Football and Basketball remain the most popular sports. If the fix is in for any team at this point it will be the Coyotes. Bettman and co. have been fighting tooth and nail to keep that team in Arizona. The next few years are pivotal for that team. Although the home grown Arizona talent in Auston Matthews is the big name in next years "Yankee" draft so it might be better to put the fix in then. I'm almost certain Florida will relocate in the next few years, as long as Tampa Bay remains I don't think many in Florida will care for the panthers departure, hopefully to Quebec.

BubberMiley Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Myers with an assist and a goal and Stafford with a goal tonight, keeping the Jets in a very tight playoff race. What a ripoff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) In other news the Leafs didn't have a sell-out crowd tonight for the first time in the Air Canada Centres history. Could this mean more non-sellouts during the re-rebuild? Edited March 24, 2015 by PrimeNumber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think Thomas Vanek or Devan Dubnyk noticed the lack of a sell out crowd. Thanks for the points ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm glad Minnesota is locked into that 1st playoff spot with Winnipeg. I can't stand LA or their recent growth of bandwagon fans so I'll take any team over them being in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 "Minny" is going to burn Dubnyk out before the playoffs, but that is much better than rotting in Edmonton. Zach Parise got him proper housing for his family in tony Edina, MN. http://www.startribune.com/sports/wild/297145391.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this mean more non-sellouts during the re-rebuild? Maybe this is why they have never rebuilt. The mythology around undying team support isn't exactly true, I guess.

Big Guy Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just checked with Forbes - Maple Leafs still worth $1.3 billion - most in NHL. What would they be worth if they were winning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty AC Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just checked with Forbes - Maple Leafs still worth $1.3 billion - most in NHL. What would they be worth if they were winning? I believe, that includes the Raptors, Leafs, Marlies, Toronto FC, the TV channels, the condos and the arena/condo management businesses. So unless the Leafs tank for quite some time their record will not nut hurt the value of MLSE. Luckily, the value of the Raps is on the rise. I expect that season ticket sales are safe, but I wonder if we'll see a decent drop in individual game ticket sales next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the team and the team alone. I have no real idea but would think the ACC is worth half that on top....or more. 13th busiest venue in the world. I expect that season ticket sales are safe, but I wonder if we'll see a decent drop in individual game ticket sales next year.They wont see any decline in real numbers. The Leafs will probably play ok to start the season, the fans will gobble the tickets up like they always have and things will br right in the world......still out of the playoffs.
