QuoteHelli suspended.

It's hard to sympathize with these spoiled brat athletes making $10 or millions per season that don't want to honour their contract. Sit out and rot for all I care, the jets will be fine without you

Nobody to blame but himself. Enjoy the suspension, Connor. You certainly earned it.

What about the one's only making $8.5M. LOL.

Decent game for the Jets last night. SKinner played well. The Jets are still playing with the lines. GV13 and Moe stood out for the Jets. It's pre-season and the Colorado had very few NHLers in the line up.

I was at the game last night but not too many highlights worth showing from that one. Here they are anyway

I really can't see the team that the Jets are putting out on the ice for the opening night any better then last year. Down grade in goaltending. Maybe a little better on D. Bottom 6 will pretty much be the same. And, they didn't do enough to improve the 2nd. line.

Now all of this could change, depending on what they get in the Helli trade.

Can't see the current team making the playoffs.

Tend to agree with above comments
Today was at their practice which essentially was PP & PK action
Never once got an emotional rush from watching the talent.

Looks like KFC is again going to be used on the PK.
Love his offensive ability but still a head scratcher why Arniel wants to use a skater that won't block a shot or take the body
Our PK has to take a giant step forward but why it utilizes a pure scorer in hope that he gets a chance once every 20 games still puzzles me
