I hope that you decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Steinbach at the time....

I'll give you 5 bees for a quarter, how about that?

but he does have to wear an onion on his belt....

Now that I watch that Florida OT goal again, (not sure why I didn't notice this yesterday) I see that the reason the guy is wide open in the slot is that for some unknown reason, Trouba goes on a field trip, totally leaving his position and getting tied up with Tkachuk for some reason, leaving his defence partner hanging out to dry. So it took two ex-Jets goofing up for Florida to win last night.

it just shows how small the margin for error is in the playoffs. That PP goal by Florida to win it was a thing of beauty, I watched it like 10 times trying to figure out how the Florida guy got so open to shoot like that.

I was laughing hysterically last night watching Blake Wheeler cough up the puck Ehlers-style on the Florida blue line after fumbling a pass, then watching him chug back and take the stupid hooking penalty he always took when he was in Winnipeg, then Florida scores on the subsequent power play from Wheeler's dumb actions to win in OT. Oh man it was like deja-vu all over again.

I've got the Bombers going 16-2 this year, but only because Streveler and Collaros play half the season in lazy boy recliners...

Mrs. KBF has to deal with this every day...

never let a Schmeckel slide into anything....

not sure what this means. My response was a joke referencing how Davydov and Ehlers are so similar in their playing style.

Did he spend a lot of time in Denmark in 1995? Specifically Aalborg? LOL....

I agree!

I can't see the poster? Not sure if it's just my browser?

what year was that? In 1992-93 the Jets had 4 rookies that scored 20 goals - Davydov, Tkachuk, Selanne and Zhamnov. They had two vets who also scored more than 20 - Steen and Darrin Shannon. At that time Winnipeg set the record for having 4 rookies hit 20 goals or more in the same season.

I have the Jets book "Coming up Short" by Curtis Walker and he seems to intimate (unless my memory is failing me) that Smith deliberately talked Fergie into trading Babych to the Whalers for Ray Neufeld to sewer Fergie and take his job. Also, among other things Smith did to destroy the Jets: Smith was largely responsible for forcing Dale Hawerchuk, the Jets franchise player, out of Winnipeg. Years later, Hawerchuk would state "In my era there were two Winnipegs. There was the John Ferguson era, which was positive, upbeat, a really community-driven team. And then the Mike Smith era, which was negative and pessimistic. That ran through the media. I thought I'd be a Winnipeg Jet forever, but at the end Mike pretty much made it impossible for me to really push forward with my career there."[11] Smith made some questionable trades that would come back to haunt the Jets. During the Summer of 1993, Smith would send future Olympian, and Frank J. Selke Trophy winner Kris Draper to the Detroit Red Wings for $1.00.[12] Smith would also trade NHL All-Star Phil Housley to the St. Louis Blues for Nelson Emerson and Stephane Quintal. On November 25, 1993, Smith would trade star forward Stu Barnes along with a sixth round selection (previously acquired from the St. Louis Blues; Chris Kibermanis) in 1994 to the Florida Panthers for Randy Gilhen. Mike Smith was mainly responsible for dismantling a young, and promising Winnipeg Jets team. By the time Smith was relieved of his Managing duties in January 1994, the Jets were last in the Western Conference.[13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Smith_(ice_hockey,_born_1945)

"I don't come over to your place of work and salt the fries" - still one of the best Coach's show lines ever....

who else do we have from Jets 1.0 ready to go as our next coach after Arniel inevitably fails? Doug Smail? Tim Watters? Pierre Hamel?

anyone checking out Dru Brown on CFL+ this afternoon?

Lapo and an overly conservative vanilla O?

so in other words our defensive strategy should have been:

are they also anatomically correct?

Did they though? I wonder how those interviews went? Prospective coach (other than Arniel): let's be honest guys, are you really interested in anyone but Scotty A? Chevy: Yeah, yeah for sure Prospective coach: Really? Chevy: No, not really. We are deliberately wasting your time..."audible sigh"...line click...dial tone...
