3 years 11 million. Call me surprised with this one although I have heard AI has kind of fallen in love with the peg. I’m curious if this means Appleton won’t be signed cuz Nino Lowry Iafallo is a good checking line. took a pay cut to stay. Wild.

F’ing Ducks.

They also and perhaps more importantly averaged 6'4" on D that year.

Drury as in role....multi faceted....not bodywise...MCI is actually faster than Drurie.....not as shifty tho...6 of this half dozen of that....groomd right he could be a nice asset herein is where we have failed...we havnt identified the best players...and then fit it into the roster....we go into camp with this mental picture of what we want ratio/player wise and it's not giving us our best roster...hopefuly we are changing away from this

We are keeping Iafallo for three years

April 16 update: West is set: Winnipeg (C1) vs St. Louis (WC2) Dallas (C2) vs Colorado (C3) Vegas (P1) vs Minnesota (WC1) Los Angeles (P2) vs Edmonton (P3) East - Washington (M1) vs Montreal/Columbus (WC2) Carolina (M2) vs New Jersey (M3) Toronto (A1) vs Ottawa (WC1) Tampa Bay (A2) vs Florida (A3) Remaining clinching/elimination scenarios: Montreal clinches playoff spot and Columbus is eliminated if: - Montreal gains a single point or better against Carolina April 16, OR - Columbus does not earn a regulation win against NY Islanders April 17

Yeah. Nothing.

Their goalie stood on his head their entire playoff series that year. Jordan Binnington has done nothing since.

I wasn't talking about Lirim himself. It was just an example. My point is it's difficult to keep players as it is. If we just developed Canadians for certain positions like a kicker, we may have a difficult time doing so with 1 year contracts.

Lol, he was darn sure the 1st game was going to be on Saturday.

St. Louis gives us Schenn vs Schenn. Minny would have been funner cuz kinda little rivalry there. Second time playing the blues in round 1 tho also. Last time blues went on to win the cup. St. Louis Colorado Vegas redemption time. beat all the teams who beat us to get to the cup.

Cuz 2000 tix for BTO sold Saturday lol. But Sunday probably better cuz leafs gonna get HNIC and Oilers so we’d be like 8pm start on one of the other sportsnets. Sunday we may get “prime time”. Easter Sunday.

Bell said radio is not a viable business and want out. Rumour is they tried to sell both their Brandon stations to Vista, but Vista didn't want to operate that far from their other markets. Those two remain for sale, along with one other Manitoba station, which hasn't had any takers just yet, but could soon..... ... definitely lots going on in Manitoba radio...

McIntyre figures Sunday start for the series...

Focking MIN scores with 22s left in 3rd to tie game. CAL eliminated and we play STL.

Is Nobody 2 still filming?

btw anyone know what film is being shot here? I passed a film crew at Thunderbird Restaurant on Jefferson

Lirim left after his second season with the Bombers when they picked up Medlock in FA in 2016. He was literally booed out of the city for having a few really bad late season games, I'd be surprised if he ever wanted to play in Wpg. again after that.

I think we have to concentrate on the best player at every position within the ratios. If a Kicker is a great one like Castillo, then really have no problem with it. However, if we waste a DI spot on a subpar punter like Sheahan, then yeah, we need to change. I'm hopeful we draft a punter out of U Sport but it looks like we won't. Osh & Walters seem happy with Sheahan. The Bombers, flush full of cash just do not want to spend on an area of need anywhere. They're happy with mediocre at positions like Center, DT & Punter.

The talent gap between a top 1/3 cfl p/k and even the bottom tier in the nfl is gigantic now. Legs has been hitting about 90% the last two years with out a sniff. We can and do sign guys to longer. If any thing, the problem is a lack of talent at the position these days. I’d also settle for a global who can do both jobs, but the leg talent up side is much higher there.

The problem with developing a Canadian kicker is the 1 year deals. We have a Canadian on the roster & say we develop him. One day he replaces Castillo. Then the Canadian kicker's contract is up & he goes on the tour of NFL camps for a season or 2. Like Lirim Hajrullahu, he never comes back to the Bombers as he ultimately signs as a CFL FA elsewhere. To get him back, then we overpay. And that goes for virtually every position. It's hard to develop talent when they can & will be poached as free agents. The 1 year deals are a scourge that need to be eliminated. Looks like our Aussie punter is coming back. Oh joy.

That was a hundred years ago. We were a manufacturing hub much like the Windy City. We had all the meat packing plants for Western canada like Chicago did for the md west of the US. We were also a grain & wheat hub with an mportant commodity exchange. Both cities grew rapidly because of the railroad but that's where it stopped. Today, we're more like the Canadian version of Des Moines, Iowa.

Think Chicago was the last president trophy winner to also win the cup. We are supposed to be like the Canadian Chicago so that helps.

SJ had a good team at one point. Jumbo Joe Little Joe and now Couture done truly is a new day in San Jose.

they all think it’s hellebuyck and just a bunch of crap. Like Helle is the only reason for us being good. His shot totals are down but no mention of that. Helle is a superstar in the league but I’d argue Connor Scheifele and morrissey are also but no mention of them even. They all play in to the nobody wants to play there narratives. It’s the media pushing this crap always. It’s insane how much disrespect they get. If they win the cup tsn top headline will be how does the jets winning the cup help the leafs chances next season.
