The Jets magical season continues... https://www.nhl.com/news/winnipeg-mark-scheifele-injury-update/c-294426068

Bowman The Big Mouth? Is he even relevant?
-
That's his choice but why not stick it to a known tight wad like Braley?? It would drive him crazy to have to pay Claybrooks & another head coach's salaries for 2 more years.
-
Harris deserved better than he got from the 3 hacks who voted against him. He should ignore any interview requests from them from now on & let them get roasted on social media when they ***** & complain as no one will care what they think.
-
Lions still owe him for 2 more seasons so if I was him, I'd make them pay next season anyway.
-
Hervey will be bringing Maas in if he is fired in Edmonton. Perhaps Campbell.
-
Claybrooks never should have left Calgary. He won't he coming back as his protégé Brent Monson is doing a very good job with far, far less talent on defense than Claybrooks ever had. Getting a HC job based on limited experience coaching with only one team. What could possibly go wrong? I guess the flavour of the month went sour. He grew into the job as the season went on but the first half of the year, Claybrooks was totally lost & so was his inexperienced coaching staff. It really showed. By the time he was able to get a handle on things it was too late.

Anything over 15,000 & under 20 will be considered a good crowd here in Calgary with mid January temps forecast. I'll be shocked if more than 20,000 show up at McMahon. Nobody gives a damn here.

Byfuglien contemplating NHL future
SpeedFlex27 replied to captaincanuck12's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Sounds more like Buff saying the after season physical missed a broken bone & he never should have been cleared medically. We all know the NHL, Jets & their medical staff will take this seriously. He gave up his huge salary to not report which really makes no sense. Unless he thinks he can sue & win even more money in a financial settlement. -
You never know but you're probably right. The 3 voters in Winnipeg made a judgement call they had no right to make. Props to bob Irving & Mike O'Shea & GTH the other guys.

Byfuglien contemplating NHL future

Meanwhile, we bewildered Jets fans just ask, how could this mess have happened in the first place? -
It wasn't their place to be the moral conscience of the CFL. Their job was to name the best Bomber player per category only. If other voters in other CFL cities didn't agree then that is fine. At least the 2 voters here did what they were supposed to do.

More like her face has been zippered up from her eyebrows down.

Fee-NOM-in-ALL!

The Stamps will be lucky if 15,000 are at the game. The 13thman won't be a factor for the Stamps.

Early winter this year. Climate catastrophe.

The reaction you talk about above in the links were all 9 years ago. Where's the protests today? Drilling is still going on in the Gulf. Why haven't left wing politicians & environmental groups not shut down these rigs after such an horrendous spill? Tankers still ply the waters with no sign of ever stopping. Texas, Alabama & Louisiana still take in billions of revenue from offshore drilling. Thousands of jobs depend on the oil industry in the Gulf. Why haven't the politicians & environmental groups shut down this industry like they have up here? Cognitive dissonance? Is that the arrogant new catch phrase of the left for anyone who has a different POV?

The League led by Randy Ambrosie, our inimitable Commissioner, so hell bent on taking the game to such football hotbeds like Japan & Timbuktu that he can't see the answer right in front of his face. Fans are absolutely screaming what is wrong but he & the Board of Governors just seem to be completely deaf to their complaints. Ticket, concession & parking prices are too high. When the entertainment dollar for each fan is stretched to the limit, what is the CFL's marketing response? To price tickets, food & drinks out of reach of the average fan. Most of the diehards in every CFL city will still go to the games no matter what but families & casual fans won't. And therein lies the problem. Not only do CFL teams compete with other forms of entertainment, they also compete against their own tv contract. No blackouts with every game televised. So, seats sit empty. Why spend a couple of hundred dollars on tickets, food & parking for a family of 4 when Mom, Dad & the kids can watch the games in their own home. The answer? Lower ticket & concession prices to the point of being affordable once more & attendance will rebound. I think the CFL knows the problem but refuses to do anything about it.

So does a journey to Value Village.

I just have the feeling that the Als caught all the other teams off guard & that success next year may be hard to duplicate. Especially the play of Adams. I like Khari & wish him well, though.
-
Oh I'm sure there were protests. The pictures showed it but it looked pretty muted. Like I said, the Big Environmental movement is funded by American interests & there's no way they'd protest to keep American oil in the ground like they want to do to Canadian oil & gas. So, pardon me if I'm skeptical about their motives. American oil & gas companies want Canada out of the picture so they can sell more of their products worldwide.
-
What do you think I was talking about? I see pipeline demonstrations all the time especially when it comes to Alberta oil but nothing from Greenpeace, The Rockefeller Foundation or any other environmental groups about spills in the Gulf. Millions of litres of oil that spilled from the Event Horizon & once it was capped, nine years ago... never saw one demonstration in the Gulf by boat. Or in the media. Or in Texas. Nothing.
-
Exactly. Where's the outrage from the American & world environmentalists? Is it because they're financed by American oil interests & keeping oil in the ground in Canada eliminates a major global competitor? Where's your outrage? But a pipeline spill? The anger... But I'm sure you'll fill your car or truck in the next week. Or be happy your home is warm when it's minus 30 in Winnipeg in the next month. All snug & cozy for Xmas.
