Rumour: Jets/Isles to Deal on Draft Day?
Mike replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I hate watching Hamonic play. But I respect it. He frustrates the hell out of me as a fan of the opposition. If he was on the Jets? I'd love it. -
Rumour: Jets/Isles to Deal on Draft Day?
Mike replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I can think of several pieces I'd like from NYI Okposo and/or Hamonic, for starters. de Haan, Strome, Pulock would all be nice. Not necessarily saying I want a trade, just saying NYI has pieces I like. -
LDT destroyed his pro day. CFL draft stock way down.

Do they know something we don't? Did you badmouth Gainer? No way, man. Gainer trumps any mascot! It's something they do with all new members. The admin has to activate the accounts so they can post. For some reason, mine hasn't been activated. So I can't even post on my own board. What's your username? I'll send a PM to the admin over there for you.

Disagree with the last line. James Wright is useless. I'm sorry. We can find energy guys who compete nightly who also have a single ounce of offensive ability. Wright has none. -

Have to be careful with how you word that, because he blew past 20 goals once on his way to becoming one of the youngest guys to ever score 30. Then he got hit with a lockout season and it's not reasonable to count that. And he's likely to put 20 in the net this year. So really, 20 goals once in 5 years could easily turn into twice in 4 years in a hurry. And let's be honest, we know Atlanta rushed him. He may be in his 5th year but he's also 22 years old. It'll come. -
Maybe this is me just being a simpleton but when I hear "Grey Cup in Winnipeg", I'm not bothered by the 4 million dollar "grant" or the profit not matching up with the money the government is giving us or any of that stuff. Politicians want to politic? Let them. The Grey Cup means a huge economic boost to this city, it means a great party right in our own backyard and it means an extra incentive for the Bombers to improve their on-field product in short order. Sounds good to me.

Rumour: Jets/Isles to Deal on Draft Day?

Would not trade Kane. This is a guy not even in the prime of his career. It blows my mind, I've never seen a city ride a guy so hard when he's a) so young and competes so hard on a nightly basis. Seriously, is there a guy on the Jets other than Kane that competes with such a high level of effort night in and night out? Wheeler maybe? People criticize him for not being enough of a team guy, but that's not what I see at all. Personally, I want to see Scheifele feeding Kane passes for the next 10 years. -
Totally disagree, then again I don't really personally care about travelers. Night games work best for me and I'd prefer if they had to be during the afternoon that they be on a Sunday.

Another Loss Yet Same Old Questions
Mike replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
The team was basically the equivalent of an expansion team in terms of asset depth when it relocated. People need to be patient. -
Andrew Ladd Misses Game Controversy
Mike replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Not surprised Troy Westwood would think that no matter what the situation is, you play the game. He's obviously not one to take an unforced break, not even 2 years after he became no damn good. -
You suggested we take all judgment out of it and then suggested we penalize "unfair disruptions" Fair / not fair is always a judgment call.

Andrew Ladd Misses Game Controversy
Mike replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Are they critical because he missed it or are they critical because he missed it and we're in a "playoff race"? -
People aren't saying we don't have any safeties. What they're saying is we're not sure if we have any good ones. And I'm saying Alexander and Newman are good safety's. Tough to say for sure. I wouldn't bet either way on that one, they could be good but we also thought Cauchy was going to be good because he came advertised as such.

My picks for stock up / stock down this weekend ... Stock up ... DB Derek Jones - fast 40 yard time and he performed well in the one on ones. Teams wanted to see him line up against CIS guys coming from a NCAA school and he held his own DL Quinn Smith - dominant against the OL in drills, he won every single snap he took. Stock goes way up. LB Jesse Briggs - stood out as a mostly unknown against a strong LB group, very impressive testing numbers Stock down ... DB? Adam Thibault - fastest in the 40 but he's a guy without a defined position and he got hurt before scouts had a chance to try and give him one LB Max Caron - speed was a concern coming into this weekend and he tested poorly. REC Kris Bastien - came in as arguably the #2 receiver behind Devon Bailey and failed to seperate himself from the pack
-
Doesn't mean it's a position of strength.

He also wasn't interested because he couldn't stand our defensive coaching staff.

Bob Wylie to be new O-Line coach - Confirmed

Quite a roller coaster. That being said, the tweet you copied has been deleted. -
CFL releases Combine info (including participant list)
Mike replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Kirk Penton reported in yesterday's paper that Queens LB Sam Sabourin, who was ranked 12th in the recent CSB rankings, will not turn pro and that's why he isn't attending the combine this weekend. -
I heard the same thing from a couple people. I mentioned it on our twitter account, hope you don't mind. I credited what I think is your twitter account.

I want to talk about something that really grinds my gears

Who eats pizza with a fork and knife. Psshhh...you girl. And stop changing your name...for a while I was like...where did that guy come from. Ya weirdo. And gondola is good, I like that too. When the guy from Qo'nos calls you weirdo it should be taken as a compliment . I changed it to match my twitter handle, but since I discovered how much twitter sucks I'm considering changing back. Sorry. Only one username change per member who has used or currently uses this avatar. Site policy. -

They used FAT timing which results in much slower sounding times, but it's still not an impressive number. Especially for a guy who isn't even considered a NI at this point. -

Montreal Combine is finished ... Have to be honest, it's a pretty sad showing. One guy that really surprised me was Laval receiver Julian Bailey. This guy was considered a top 10 pick in this class a few years ago, but it turns out he hasn't qualified as a non-import yet. He still participated at the combine as an import today and ran a 5.12 40 yard. Expected better. At first glance, I didn't see many guys whose testing numbers would earn them an invite. Quinn Everett would be one, but to me, you'd have to earn an invite based on the interview if you were anybody else. -
The problem with PI in the CFL is that nobody calls it the same way. There doesn't seem to be a proper definition that all referees follow when making their judgment on a play. Unless they look at that first, it doesn't matter if they can go to video replay or not. It's still going to be inconsistent.
