  9. Jets T-shirt shutes... missez the nett Honest spelling error or cheap knock off? By: Bill Redekop / Free Press She left her heart in... Winnepeg? A hockey fan living in Kelowna, B.C., is bewildered and more than a little annoyed after buying a Jets T-shirt from the Paradies Lagardère gift shop at Richardson International Airport with the city’s name spelled incorrectly. Heather Prevalnig, who was visiting family here, flew home Tuesday with the "Winnepeg" Jets T-shirt. Prevalnig bought the souvenir, snapped a quick photo and posted it online just before boarding the plane Tuesday. During a stopover in Calgary, she received a message from her brother pointing out the error. "I couldn’t believe it," said the former Winnipegger, who moved to Kelowna with her husband Brian in 2009. Prevalnig played organized hockey as a kid and had the opportunity to suit up for some Timbits-style shinny before a Jets game at the Winnipeg Arena. She also sold 50/50 tickets at Jets games. So, even though she moved away in 2009, two years before the Jets returned, she’s a big fan and wanted a shirt that said so. A lot of former Manitobans wear Jets and Blue Bombers clothing in B.C., she said. "Here in Kelowna, when you see someone wearing a Jets T-shirt, it’s an instant connection," she said. "It’s an instant bond." The Winnipeg store’s manager, Heather Dilk, was shocked when told about the shirt. Paradies marketing manager Nicole Linton said the shirt was "absolutely not" a cheap knock-off. "All the vendors we work with have to be approved by the (National Hockey League)," she said from the company’s head office in Atlanta. "These are officially licensed products." Perhaps it was it a case of hard feelings because since 2011 "Winnepeg" has been home to the Jets, formerly known as the Atlanta Thrashers? Linton dismissed the coincidence. The shirt’s Massachusetts manufacturer, Soft as a Grape, makes apparel featuring other pro-sports teams as well. Soft as a Grape owner Allen Katzen said he has recalled all the shirts. "It appears that one of our employees didn’t check the spelling, and it got through quality control. It is an embarrassment to me, and I have no excuses. I am sure this is an affront to all the loyal Jet fans and to the people of Winnipeg," he said.
  10. Theory is that it opens up guaranteed spot for Connor.
  11. Thought McDavid should have got it.
  12. Buff is not involved due to his type of contract.
  13. I would have said HBO scratches Vinyl. Doesn't sound good to me
  14. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/manitoba-moose/manitoba-moose-tasered-jailed-after-disney-world-fracas-383991631.html Manitoba Moose tough guy Darren Kramer allegedly squared off with a Florida police officer early Tuesday morning at Disney World – and got the worst of it when he was Tasered and jailed. According to deadspin.com, Kramer, 24, allegedly wrestled an officer from the Orange County Sherriff’s Office sometime after 1 a.m. near the theme park while his friend made off with bowling pins he allegedly stole from a restaurant. Kramer was arrested and charged with battery of a law enforcement officer, grand theft, and resisting arrest without violence. A spokesman with the Moose said on Wednesday the organization would not comment on the incident. Deadspin cited a police report, noting Kramer’s friend, identified only as Corbin, was carrying a large display flag and a few bowling pins. While he eventually returned the flag to wherever he stole it, he would not return the bowling pins that he claimed were given to him for bowling a high score. It’s alleged Kramer became involved with an officer, who tried to handcuff the hockey player. "Kramer then violently pulled away from me, as I was maintaining control of the handcuff and his free left arm. Kramer pulled me off my feet and began to run. I was able to maintain control of the handcuff and pull him toward me. Kramer was then able to turn completely toward me and break the control I had of his handcuff," the officer noted in his report. "I then observed Kramer lower his right shoulder and raise his left arm as if he was preparing to strike me with a punch. Due to our close proximity I then reached out to Kramer and grabbed his shirt and attempted to pull him off balance. Kramer stepped forward and lowered his head, hitting me in the chest. "This caused both of us to fall to the ground where Kramer ended up falling onto me. Kramer was able to stand up which allowed me to get to my feet and again grab his shirt. During this time I was ordering him verbally to stop and to lie on the ground. Kramer continued to fight me and again pulled backward. He was able to break the hold and spin to his right. I then observed Kramer turn his entire body to me and again raise his arm as if to strike me. I drew my department issued ECD Taser and yelled that I would Taze him. Kramer continued to come at me and I deployed the ECD, striking him in the upper right arm." The native of Peace River, Alta., led the Moose during the 2015-16 AHL season with 138 penalty minutes in 61 games. He also fired seven goals and added five assists. Two seasons ago, he played for Binghamton, the Ottawa Senators’ AHL club, and led the entire AHL with 284 penalty minutes.
