Farmery WILL be made in MB soon...the brewery is under construction at Arden Hill, outside Neepawa, as we speak. For the time being, all the ingredients are grown here and brewed outta the Muskoka plant in ON.... Regardless...Half Pints and Ft Garry make some great brews, and Farmery is solid for an inoffensive sessionable beer.

Side note about Grey Cup Week: I'm a fan of the announcement that the 3 "Manitoban" craft brewers will be the official beer outside of the game itself, to which Labatt has exclusive rights. But all the socials and different events will feature Fort Garry, Half Pints and Farmery, which is only partly Manitoban. As a big craft beer junkie, this is fantastic news.

Funny thing: Picked up a copy of The Hockey News Fantasy Pool Guide for this year and immediately flipped to the Oilers page. They have a thing listing the Top 5 scorers for each team in the league, and they've predicted McDavid will lead the Oilers with 83pts this year. I said "wow, no pressure, kid..." Like, seriously...for **** sakes. Let's temper things a little bit here. With players like RNH and Hall (Eberle will miss the first couple months of the season after injuring a shoulder) and even Yakupov....they really think this kid is going to lead the team? I mean he's good.....but he's still just a kid.

As an aside, just saw that Jonathan "The Coach" Coachman is now an anchor on ESPN Sports Center. Had no idea...still comes across as a ******, tho...

Rogers never let them spend the money before this year. They opened the piggy bank, and voila....competitive team.

I think I saw a tweet yesterday saying that it's in about 2 weeks...

When you know the kind of personality Henoc is...the charity stuff he does...work with AIA and other Christian organizations.....you can't possibly hate on the guy.

Overall stats don't show the progress he's made from beginning to now. The guy has been pretty darn good the last several weeks...

I disagree...he may not have been before, but he's sure turning into one.

Will be interesting to see the logic behind this. Giving more ice time to Nikitin and Ference is NOT a good thing, in my books...

Definitely is...but still curious what the 6 D will be. If it's giving Ference more time at the expense of sending Nurse down, I don't know that I agree.

He was tweeting his new Moose equipment yesterday, so this was never really a surprise...

hmmm...did not see that coming. He's had a solid camp, by all accounts, and the Oilers are thin on the blue line.

Parlour in the Village, eh? Run by a guy named Nils Vik? ...that's one of our proud Pinawa things there. He's a grad of about 2001 or something, I believe...

I'm a huge fan of Henoc Muamba....as a player and who he was off the field in the community. But with that said, they're talking about a lot of money that could be spent better, I think. If they'd done it, I'd be cool with that, but as others have said, I'm not all that torn up about him signing elsewhere (bonus if it's an East team like the Als!) Nothing but respect for Henoc and wish him the best of luck. As others have said, Hurl has been getting better all the time, our LB corps is our best asset and we could use that money in other spots that are more important...

Lawless: 100k signing bonus 10k per game this year 200k 2016 200k 2017

Unless Drew Willy isn't mobile enough or makes fast enough reads or gets rid of the ball fast enough or fails to bring tempo to the offence. Then the question of what the Bombers biggest problem is, remains open for debate. What if the biggest problem is actually not just one problem but multiple problems - including the problem of assuming the O would function at anything more than a barely acceptable level with Drew Willy? My post has already been proven, but a lot of you are choosing to misremember because it's been awhile...

the biggest problem is a lack of Drew Willy....that's not up for debate.

People just like to rage about things...especially after yet another season like this. Gotta try and keep the positivity where you can, folks....

As a fan of all things Canadiana, I'm just excited for the entire country to get behind something. Was raised a baseball fan by a Jays-loving father, and will always be one. Passive during the lean times, sure, but following every single game this season...

Amazing how fast he's gone from people around here talking about him being the future of the league, to being retired....unreal.

MOS was *THE* undisputed first choice by virtually all in the know, to be The Next One HC around the league. Maybe he walked into a worse situation than Milano and Jones, or maybe it's something else....but I'm not sure this current situation says MOS is or isn't a good HC....

Reported in TC that Stoud is the most athletic guy on the roster and most versatile. He plays ST, DB, Rec in most games. As much as people want to **** on him, he's a weapon...

Dave and I are watching this and having the same moral debate. I'm watching it, ambivalently, and saying "Go Blue...", whatever that means....
