08:27 AM ET 08.20 | One of the more underrated individual 2011-12 seasons came from one of the league's most underrated team stories: St. Louis' Alex Pietrangelo. Can [Pietrangelo] win the Norris Trophy? ... The 22-year-old finished fifth among defenseman in scoring with 51 points, which were the third-most on a Blues' team that had a hard time scoring goals. He averaged 24:43 of ice time, 16th-most in the NHL, and was plus-16. Despite his youth, he was routinely matched up against the opposition's top lines. With Nicklas Lidstrom retired, that's one less obstacle standing in Pietrangelo's way. The King City, Ontario, native will also benefit from a full season in Hitchcock's defensive system.

That was quite a shellacking! The Jets need to let Tebow do his thing! Otherwise, they don't have a prayer. ;-)

Having Sanchez throw an INT that ends up as a 77 yard return for a TD was probably not the best way to start.

I can see sexy Rexy losing his job after this year. I actually feel a small degree of pity for whomever lines up as QB for the Jets. Opposition Teams can just shut down their only receiver threat and the Jets are out of options.

Rex is following the same path as his dad. A lot of bluster with very little in the way of results to back the talk up.

Alex is good, but it's probably a tad early to talk Norris trophy.
