Messier was selected in the 1979 entry draft in the third round by the Oilers. The Jets took Jimmy Mann and Dave Christian ahead of Messier in that draft. Lowe went two picks after Mann in the first round, so we could have had Lowe too if we'd taken him instead of Mann. Fergy really crapped the bed with Jimmy Mann. So to sum up - and I know hindsight is 20-20 - Lowe, Messier and Gretzky all could have been Jets.

Not sure why you are tarring Waggoner with the Poblah brush. At least Waggoner played all year and contributed. Richards and Etienne, now there's a comparative.

Let's see what Captain Hairdo aka Addison Richards does this year. I really hope he's not Jade Etienne 2.0. That would suck.

I definitely want to see a vegan option at the games this year. Or at least that's what my extremely pale and anemic 19 year old niece tells me. If they offer real turkey legs then the very least they could offer disgusting tasting tofurkey legs too.

All right, fair points all. Let's give OSH this season. He's had two now to learn. Year three is proving ground time. If Willy stays healthy all season and we still miss the playoffs, it's time for OSH to get the boot. Fair to say?

yup. A lot of people who bought tickets to all of the Oiler games were really pissed off.

Sweet. Can't wait for the Young Stars tourney in Penticton. Connor and Auston Matthews lighting it up!

I saw him play yesterday and yeah, he's fast as lightning, that's for sure. Kyle Selanne.

If we are winning games, MOS can show up on the sidelines wearing a tropical mu-mu for all I care.

pretty simple when you boil it down - keep Willy healthy and we make the playoffs.

well that clears it up. Connor and Poolman - bring em up next year. Keep everyone in suspense until September. I hope he comes out and plays in the Young Stars tournament this year, maybe Winnipeg won't get their butts kicked so bad this time.

Even Ehlers sucked? Seriously?

The magic of the Melch couldn't over-come the suck of the Stew. Too bad.

watched the first period - Poolman playing well and Connor with the blazing speed, looks a lot like Ehlers out there. Caggiula with the nice goal, looks like he's a free agent. Worth a free agent signing?

I wonder how many times Bud Grant cried during an interview? That being said if Grant were interviewed by Wiechek he would probably break down in tears at how far the quality of journalism has fallen in Winnipeg since his era. "I knew Vince Leah. Vince Leah didn't wear earrings!!"

Stuart is just brutal. Standing around on all three goals. Eichel beat him like a rented mule.

Yeah I would like to see what Don Matthews would have done with Brian Brohm.

I agree. The old ways are the best ways. That's why I type out every post on my IBM Selectric and have my secretary post it on the website.

I hope the game against NDSU tomorrow is on TSN 2 so I can watch it. Poolman vs Connor - epic battle!!

Poolman looked good in the game against Northeastern. Scored a goal too. Too bad I can't get the Michigan game so I can see Connor.

two years ago. That was before he found the bottle on the beach with the genie in it, who guaranteed that he would never lose another game if he was ever brought back up to the big leagues. Or he might have made the same deal as Johnny Wayne did...

Melch - undefeated!!! Go Melch go!
