when was the last time the Jets had two players at the All-Star game?

did you see Tom Canada there?

Rae & Jerry's!

Mike Vernon was obsessed with clubs and restaurants, as he was a pretty big party animal. He said Winnipeg had neither. Of course, this was 1992.

I interviewed Mike Vernon for my HR class when I was going to the University of Calgary. I asked him which city he hated visiting the most in the NHL and he said "without question, Winnipeg".

statement game for sure.

That first Buffalo goal was hard to watch and shouldn't have happened. I think that if a player is so tired they become a zombie, like Wheeler was on that goal, they'd be better off heading to the bench than taking a penalty. Those kind of goals can't happen in the playoffs, they will kill you.

and this trade just keeps on giving - we have a draft pick in 2018 that we got from Boston for Stafford.

and he was a Winnipegger!

Sounds like the kind of guy I'd want to watch hockey and have a beer with (many beers in fact). The only time I've been to Buffalo I went to some bar and ate wings out of a bucket. The wings had a name, can't remember what they were called....

ok thanks for the input on Bear, both of you guys. My only concern is if he is so good, why are my Oiler fan buddies always pitching me on taking him?

yeah that makes sense - really like Dano's hands on that goal he scored yesterday. Kid has talent, just not a lot of room on this roster with all of the talent that is already there. I can't believe I am writing that.

not sure why you sit Dano, given the production he is getting for the small amount of ice time he gets.

I think you were talking about the Kelce hit. He got up and was doing the funky chicken all the way to the side-lines. Tyrod Taylor took two serious shots to the noggin yesterday in the Bills game. I don't know how his brains aren't scrambled right now. This is the kind of stuff that is going to end up killing football. I don't see how the game can survive long term, now that they are starting to see the brain damage effects.

That hit to the head on Kelce on Saturday had me almost tossing my cookies, it was so disgusting.

Kirk Douglas was on the Golden Globes tonight. I think he died in 2012.

I assume Lowry will still be out, giving Roslo another shot. Like seeing him with another skill player like Dano. He didn't look out of place out there.

is it wrong now after every Jets goal I hear this song in my head?

If a Saskatchewan player goes down while the Bombers are in hurry up, just keep playing and run right over him, even if he is legitimately injured.

my Oiler fan buddies are always pitching me on this Bear guy. Never heard of him. They still want Trouba really bad. Not sure Trouba would be wild about that.

or we could follow tradition and trade him to Anaheim for two bums who go nowhere.

with all of the pay upgrades coming down the pipe, I don't think the Jets can afford to keep Buff. I like the toughness he brings to the game. We missed him in that Nashville game for sure as the Predators were taking liberties knowing Buff wasn't there to make them pay, but that's something we'll have to deal with I guess. I don't know what Buff would bring. I know the Kings sure wanted him before he signed his deal. Not sure what the Kings have that we would want.

Tyrone Jones didn't set any records (though I wonder about his sack totals) but he also was something special. I doubt Rod Hill gets that many INT's unless a QB is pooping his pants all night worried about getting smoked by a linebacker who just never stopped coming.
