I wish I saw this before I placed a large vBookie bet
Our D has been a big problem this year, much like our forwards were last year - we're basically missing a pairing of NHL caliber players (although Postma has surprised me). If Buff is out, we're in big trouble not just from losing our biggest offensive catalyst but from the fact that we'll have another AHL guy step in and one of Postma or Clitsome will be bumped up at least a pairing. Byfuglien has been by far the most impressive Jet for me this year.
I think buff is physically sick and not injured, as I have thrown up a lot in my life (don't ask) buff looked sick in mtl and watch the overtime Kane goal and look at buffs face when he congratulates Kane
Maybe he had too much Mexican food and beer last night and has stomach cramps (i.e. 'the runs')? Tough playing hockey when you have the runs...but could be an advantage as no one would want to defend him!! lol
Just hope we are not pinning our hopes on Redmond too much, he has played 0 NHL games.
Oh not at all. I think many of us have wanted to see him, hopefully he can play well and take Clitsomes place in the line up.
But I in no way expect him to fill Buff's shoes.

Where is Randy Jones?
My guess is:
Toby - Hainsey
Stuart - Redmond
Clitsome - Postma
That keeps at least one pairing intact, even if it has been a bad one.
If Buff goes, they are probably swapping out Redmond for Postma (both righties)... but Hainsey swings both ways so they could do:
Toby - Buff
Hainsey - Postma
Stu - Redmond
I really don't see Noel breaking up Hainsey and Stu though.

I thought the same. On Kane's goal he had the "trying not to vomit" face.
A bug running thru the team would definitely help to explain some stuff from the Montreal game. As I mentioned in another thread earlier, I thought there was something really "tired" about Pavs in mtl too. A few others seemed "off" as well...
I would really feel better about things if the Jets could get another veteran who can capably fill in in the top 4. I know they aren't cheap but even with everyone healthy we need that depth.
