  1. Not sure why everyone wants to trade all players who aren't on the first line. Myers is a RHD2. OK. We need that. We have 3 d-pairings. A RHD2 is required.
  2. There is no screen capture out there that shows Harris's butt touching the ground therefore it is impossible to determine when he was down and therefore it is impossible to know whether he was down when the ball came out. Inconclusive. It's really that simple.
  3. The Martian was a pretty good movie, I'd be interested in seeing the real-life version. Not sure we could ever live on the surface of Mars, but perhaps underground.
  4. Guys, come on... do you actually believe Trouba's demand is about which side he gets to play on.... you can't possibly be that naive, can you?
  5. Of course if we did get the home playoff game, everyone will be at the Jets game so 24-25K would probably be an absolute maximum in terms of attendance.
  6. edit: I thought we were talking about rumour reporting, not hockey expertise, so never mind what I said here.
  7. Gonna have to beat the Stamps either way so I don't see what difference it makes
  8. Willy 18/22 for 2 TD and 0 INT, all-star calibre numbers. Next elite QB in the CFL?
  9. Willy mounting a 4th quarter comeback!!
  10. I don't like Trump but one thing that annoyed me was that he seemed to have to debate against the moderator. Anderson Cooper wasn't so bad but Martha Raddatz was clearly very pro-Clinton and at times she was arguing with Trump rather than just steering the debate. I don't think it's right for the moderator to get involved that way.
  11. Ten internet points to Goalie for correctly predicting the goalie situation.
  12. Why so much confidence in Edmonton? They have too many holes, IMO.
  13. I believe it works either way... any "possible" turnover triggers a review.
  14. No Mercy last night was overall pretty average but the IC Title match between Ziggler and the Miz was outstanding. Not surprising to me as I've consistently said that Ziggler and the Miz have excellent chemistry and have put on many great matches in the past, including in Winnipeg. The crowd really got behind Ziggler and exploded when he won the title. I haven't seen a crowd that excited for Ziggler in a couple years at least. This feud isn't over, I'm sure. I don't know where they go with the WWE World championship now. Dean doesn't really deserve another match and I'm not sure Cena does either. They might extend one of those feuds because I'm not sure who else you can put into the world title program with Styles right now. Maybe Randy Orton but it looks like he's still tied up with Bray Wyatt. Luke Harper came back and cost Orton the match. Becky Lynch is injured and missed the match with Alexa Bliss who fought Naomi instead and lost. I don't know how long Becky will be out but it looks like they aren't making her give up the title.
  15. Draft picks are a 4th and a 7th in 2017. Riders get some decent assets for the future in exchange for Capiciotti who never really fit in there. There is some speculation that Fulton will retire after this season or return to Regina (he will be an FA).
  16. I can't say I'm that surprised about Copp being sent down. He had a good finish to last year and a good camp but if you send Lowry down, realistically you are going to lose him and with Copp he does not have to clear waivers so he remains with the organization. Copp would have had to be like 200% better than Lowry but it was close enough that you have to go with the smart move from an asset management perspective. I was hoping for more out of Dano. He was in tough but I can't say he even made the decision a tough one. We'll see what happens with the goalie situation. For all Pavelec's flaws, it's always nerve-wracking to put your faith in a new starting goalie. If Hellebuyck regresses badly, it would be disastrous. But I've still got high hopes. Guys that legitimately won spots are Connor and Tanev. Both could have been sent down but played well in pre-season and secured a spot. Defence is a trouble spot. I believe we have the worst depth I've seen since year one with Jets 2.0. Pardy is available, we should get him back in the fold. Seriously, he would be a great fit with the Moose and I believe would be a better call-up option than Strait and Melchiori.
  17. Projected lines (by me): Ehlers - Scheifele - Wheeler Connor - Little - Stafford Laine - Perreault - Armia Tanev - Lowry - Burmistrov Thorburn - Matthias Morrissey - Byfuglien Enstrom - Myers Stuart - Postma Chiarot Hellebuyck Hutchinson
  18. Lapo was certainly on his game today.
  19. To me the issue here is that the CFL does not test for recreational drugs and the only reason BJ got busted is that they have wrongly classified this drug as performance enhancing. BJ could have been doing coke all night with no issue but then he popped a pill and because the CFL has it classified as a PED he gets busted. I think that is wrong and silly. I'm sure many don't agree but it is a mistake on the part of the CFL and CFLPA.
  20. I tend to stick to things that come from the ground. Any time you start messing around with chemicals you're asking for trouble. And that includes **** like Xanax and Ritalin that get pumped into the population legally.
  21. That's from Paul Friesen. What's the world coming to when urban dictionary of all places is being used as a legitimate source?
  22. He's not just a doctor. He is an expert on football, baseball, broadcasting, filmmaking, fine art, modern education, architecture, and pretty much anything else you can Google or read on an obscure message board. Just ask him.
  23. Almost as bad as Massachusetts where an old woman was raided for one pot plant in her garden http://www.winnipegsun.com/2016/10/07/national-guard-raids-grandmothers-garden-over-a-single-marijuana-plant
  24. Yeah since when do they test for **** like that? What a joke.
