-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The Jets can't catch a break -- wishing all the best for Letestu: Quote Winnipeg Jets centre Mark Letestu will be sidelined at least six months with myocarditis, a virus that attacks the heart, coach Paul Maurice told reporters Thursday. The 34-year-old from Elk Point, Alta., will be limited to light activity during that period. He is expected to make a full recovery. The 11-year-old veteran of the NHL is pointless in seven games with the Jets this season. He has recorded 210 points across 567 games with the Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Columbus Blue Jackets and Jets. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/jets-mark-letestu-six-months-heart-virus/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Poor guy. Dude could easily have a heart attack and/or a stroke if his heart swells up and goes into an uncontrollable rhythm. Hopefully he plants his arse in an ez chair and relaxes until the symptoms lessen. Can't play next season if you're pushing up daisies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but look who the Jets have on D, and what the Blues had last year. Plus, the Blues all play the right way. The Jets don't have the same buy in from their group. Your Sabres will sustain their level of play, because they are all buying in and their D is great. The Jets are done, and headed for a lottery pick. That's if they still have their first.

Their underlying numbers along with the strength of the Atlantic division this year has them pegged as a 7 or 8th seed wildcard. If their goaltending eventually craps out like I expect it to, they'll miss the playoffs entirely.

NUCKER67 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Terrible news for Letestu, and the Jets. They've had a very tough 5-6 months. The whole thing with Laine whining and holding out, and then Byfuglien contemplating retirement, and losing half their D, Tanev, Perreault, etc. I'm from WPG originally, and the last couple of years my WPG friends were having a good old time cheering on the Jets (while the Canucks struggled), super excited they had Laine, a playoff team, Cup favourite even. But now, they've taken a major step back and I'm not sure they make the playoffs this year. Not looking good for them and it could get worse. Byfuglien could retire, same with Letestu. Laine might get sick of losing and want a trade, etc. He seems like that kind of player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their goaltending eventually craps out like I expect it to, they'll miss the playoffs entirely. Sabres young players have matured, and are playing the right way. They play hard, and in straight lines. Their D has bigger bodies, who can handle the heavier traffic and stay healthy. I don't know much about the goalies, but when the team is playing the right way, it limits the shots to the outside, and the goalies do better. The Sabres will finish ahead of the Leafs.

It’s not Wheeler. Super hard to play against. It’s not Connor. Straight ahead guy, who always plays the right way. There is one forward though, who plays east west. Guess who?

And the fact that you don’t know that Scheifele isn’t great defensively is kinda the proof I needed. It’s alright. Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
