Medlock was robbed of a Punting all star nod. He does not have the longest gross average but his directional punting has been the best in the league.7 points -
pretty sure Jon Ryan is not the best punter.... NFL cred impressing people7 points

I also didn't like that they tried selling the story that they would be setting a bad precedent but ignored the fact that a player with a drug suspension can and has been nominated before. These few local hacks are out on a limb by themselves it would seem. They wouldn't name Harris as an outstanding nominee but their fellow FRC members had no issues naming him an all-star.7 points

Steve Bolen: I don’t agree with this at all. This is twice now we’ve seen two coaches be used as fall guys for incompetent roster building from their fellow GM’s. But have fun with.... Jason Maas? Next season! 👁🗨I hear ya..4 points -
Oh for CRyan out loud. There’s way more to punting than just hoofing the ball. And Ryan is a hoofer. No way he works as hard at his craft than Medlock, who’s always trying something innovative and very much succeeding at doing it. It’s hard to argue a lot of the choices..such as linemen, but it shouldn’t be hard to recognize a master like Medlock. Voters made a mistake on this one.4 points

Yeah, that's the most ridiculous thing I saw. How??? They guy out kicked his coverage and I believe (have to double check to be sure) got the most Rouges. How does he get the nod? Stupidity. CONFIRMED: On 107 punts, he scored 12 rouges. That's double the next punter, who had 132 punts. STUPIDITY!!!4 points

Being in such close proximity one would hope the local media would have more insight into the character and the work ethic of Harris and at least acknowledge the key role he plays on the team, the work he puts in on a daily basis to better his game, and the contributions he makes to the community. Mike Miller was not their choice as Most Outstanding Canadian, it was obviously a protest vote that effectively spoiled their ballots. Their job was to follow the rules of the process, not collude to alter the results to fit their morality.4 points -

Like they were supposed to do? According to who? You? Harris has been incredible this year, and has set standards and records. He deserved recognition from the only people who could give him recognition...Winnipeg media. Where it went from there is irrelevant. It should have been discussed more and a nomination would have done that. He deserves at least that. Even his teammates recognize this and have spoken to it..4 points -

Byfuglien contemplating NHL future
Noeller and one other reacted to The Unknown Poster for a topic
There’s a question I always ask when trying to find out why things occur the way they do: “What don’t I know?” In this case, the answer is “a lot.” This is probably going to arbitration, and, when lawyers are involved, certain information will be kept private until it must be presented. With that in mind, it is foolish to claim I know everything. But here is what I can tell you, from both parties’ perspectives. THE NHL AND THE WINNIPEG JETS There’s a reason Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is being evasive. The clamps are tight, he’s trying not to pour gasoline on the fire. That edict is from the league itself, which will take the lead on Byfgulien’s file. At issue is Byfuglien’s season-ending physical. Taken after the Jets were eliminated in the first round by the St. Louis Blues, multiple sources indicate it pronounced him “fit to play.” According to Brian Burke, who has some expertise in these matters, these checkups must be signed by the doctor, the medical trainer and the player. There is also something called “Form 25A” — which labels you as “fit” or “unfit” — that must be signed by the doctor. If a player disputes the findings on Form 25A, he can seek a second opinion. It is, I’m told, the NHL’s position that those results were never disputed during the summer and that, when Byfuglien informed the team that he wasn’t going to play, he said he’d lost his passion for hockey. Therefore, his preference was to retire. In the reporting of this story, one thing was made clear to me: the NHL will fight hard to protect the integrity of the year-end physical. A player signing it, then successfully disputing it months later would lead to major legal league-wide consequences. The league also feels Winnipeg did nothing wrong in this situation and should not be penalized. BYFUGLIEN, HIS REPRESENTATIVES AND THE NHLPA During the 2018-19 season, Byfuglien had two lengthy absences due to ankle problems, returning to full-time action with a week to go in the regular season. You know athletes. They play hurt. They put their bodies on the line, especially at playoff time. He played hard against the Blues, averaging 25:42, with eight points in six games. He feels the Jets were well aware he wasn’t anywhere close to 100 per cent. He didn’t dispute the finding of the physical, and figured that, with a summer of rest, any lingering issues would disappear. Byfuglien didn’t complain about pain during the summer because he didn’t skate. He took it easy, thinking rest was best. It was only when he re-started skating immediately prior to training camp that he realized the ankle hadn’t healed. He hasn’t spoken on this matter, but, according to a few sources, maintains that this was when he began thinking about retirement. The NHL season is a grind, and Byfuglien wasn’t excited about beginning it in pain. The proof, he feels, is that he moved his family back to Manitoba. If he hadn’t been thinking of playing, he wouldn’t have returned to the provincial capital. Byfuglien recently had surgery to repair the damage. I’ve been told there was a broken bone in his foot, also fixed in the procedure. However, the timing of that injury is also in dispute. I don’t spend much time in my Twitter mentions, but, apparently, a few people took that to mean he injured it doing something else in the summer. I don’t believe that’s the case. From what I understand, the dispute is whether or not both sides already knew this and it isn’t a revelation. This is, in the minds of the player, his agency (Octagon), and the NHLPA, a legitimate hockey injury. And they are prepared to strenuously defend that. “DUSTIN BEING DUSTIN” Right from the beginning, other teams questioned why, if Byfuglien was still bothered by his injury, he didn’t just show up to camp, accept a rehab assignment and get paid. Anyone who knows Byfuglien is well aware of his unique personality. He’s his own man. Some of his friends and teammates have said no one is surprised he’d do the exact opposite of what should be done or what is expected. “That’s Dustin being Dustin,” they say, with a laugh. “If he can avoid going to training camp, getting poked and prodded, just resting on his own,” one former teammate added, “I think he’d like that. A lot.” I can totally see that. But it adds extra layers to the dispute. Another said not to dismiss the divides that occurred in the Jets’ dressing room last season, and how Byfuglien felt about all that. He believes those took a toll on the big defenceman, too. The organization has worked hard to address those concerns, from giving Patrik Lainemuch more responsibility, to captain Blake Wheeler promising a change in his leadership, to head coach Paul Maurice pushing a positive environment. WHAT’S AT STAKE Byfuglien is out until the New Year. At some point, he’ll decide if he wants to play. And, it is very likely an arbitrator will be forced to decide what — or if — he should be paid. He is in the second-last season of his five-year, $38-million contract. He is scheduled to earn $8 million this season and $6 million next. Because he is suspended, he hasn’t collected any of that. Barring any kind of settlement, what will have to be decided is when he’s eligible to be paid. I’d expect the league to argue it’s not until he agrees to report, and either go on a rehab schedule, or suit up to play. I’d expect the NHLPA to counter that Byfuglien deserves every penny. There’s something else, though. Let’s say Byfuglien does decide to return. Does he want to go back to Winnipeg? Do the Jets even want him? Cheveldayoff isn’t saying, but the suspicion is the Jets know they are much better with him than without him. As for the player’s choice, well, it’s much less certain. I don’t know who is right, but I know there are hard feelings.2 points -
