Hank Balling: News and Notes / Winnipeg’s Secondary Sauce Sorcery

Wow, straight into conspiracy theory, Hank. When I host my overnight show on AM Radio some day (Pucks, Politics, and the Paranormal with Paul in the Overnight) I will have to interview you on this topic. Is Bettman a Green or a Grey?

Hank Balling: News and Notes / Winnipeg’s Secondary Sauce Sorcery

I've got better hair, but his is damn good.

I watch every Jets game and can assure you that every single primary and secondary shift is 100% accurate. You are lowering yourself to publishing what is a complete load of nonsense in order to make a headline. Shame you have to lower yourself to rag-type talk like that when the Sabres have such a good young team of talent with several rising superstars such as Dahlen and Thompson and Cozens.

As for the Jets, Morrissey has become a superstar as well as Connor. Scheif and Ehlers are not far behind and Dubios is a tour-de-force power forward who is next to impossible to move off the puck. Hellebucyk is having another Vezina season.

....Should make for a very good game .

I like that Weakerthans song where he says

“The Guess Who suck, the Jets were lousy anyway.”

Gonna be a fun next few months.

I can assure you it was not done for a headline - it was just a trend I noticed while digging into the Jets stats. As I said in the article, I don't watch nearly enough Jets hockey to make a definitive claim on whether theyre arbitrarily awarded or not; I merely pointed it out as a potentially interesting stat.

good blog

while I agree there is a lot of blah in clague

there is just as much blah in joker, bryson, lyubushkin and the former sabre fitz

Krebs, Joker, Clague, 2nd

for

Mangiapane, Zadorov

When was the last time we had 3 players all in the top-40 for goals scored halfway through a season?

1992? So 30 years maybe?

And we still might miss the playoffs because goaltending.

Thanks Obama.

For the love of God, trade for a defenseman




A real shutdown D would make these goalies look like world beaters imo.

Find Jay McKee and spend a pair of 2nds

The fact they have been scoring at will hid a lot of their issues.

31 out of 39 games they have given up at least 3 goals, and Anderson/UPL have done an adequate job for the most part.

This team can’t defend well at all.

I suggested a swing for Zadorov and Magiapane and I think that addresses 2 huge issues in 1 trade

I have been assured that goaltending is not a problem

Some other stats: Cozen, Dahlin and Tuch have already tied their career high on goals this season. Can't wait to see where they finish.

Panthers claimed Fitzgerald, Zito has had good luck with dmen claimed off waivers.
Who knows?

Son of former Panther Tom, who was popular with fans here from 96 era.
He and Tkachuk are cousins, Matthew is excited the Panthers got him...we’ll see how he does. FL could use more of what he is supposed to bring.

Anderson was top 5 in sv% prior to his last start and UPL started rough but had a good stretch afterwords.

Is the goaltending great ? No

The team defence is even worse than the “goaltending”

Sounds like the panthers are getting pretty desperate to me. Claiming a healthy scratch from Buffalo is almost rock bottom.

Today I learned there is a basketball player named

Bogdan Bogdanovic and I am so happy knowing there is a Boaty McBoatface human version
