Two jokes? You have to choose just one.

According to whom?

I feel bad for the other guys who have had to tolerate Kane being on the team for this long. Seems like a grade-A *******

That's true. Even though Kelly had to trade a sixth round pick for a guy the Stamps picked up as a free agent 4 months before.

I think Kane is gone, IMO. When this kind of thing is being talked about so openly... it usually means a deal is imminent. I'll be shocked if he's not gone by the end of tomorrow.

Yes definitely. Unfortunately I'm not sure there are many good options at forward in St. Johns right now.

Since the break: Calgary (4-1-0) 8 pts LA (1-2-0) 2 pts Vancouver (2-2-0) 4 pts Dallas (2-1-1) 5 pts Minnesota (4-0-0) 8 pts Colorado (2-0-1) 5 pts Winnipeg (0-4-1) 1 pts

He can get away with anything? What exactly has he "got away with"??? Can you explain what you mean by that with a single concrete example? The fact is that Chipman has incredibly deep pockets and is willing to spend his money on improving this city, in particular downtown (which needs as much private money as it can get). Of course True North will also benefit... that's how business works. Chipman's not running a charity. Guys like that don't just come along every day. You don't just piss off and alienate a guy like Chipman and expect another guy like him to pop up in his place. He has worked hard for this city for a long time now and I agree with him when he says he should have built up some trust along the way. If Bowman did a full investigation and found wrongdoing on the part of True North, that is one thing. But to suggest wrongdoing simply because he is "confused" by the project... that is downright irresponsible.

A $400 million project that may be scrapped because Bowman is too inexperienced to get all the facts on the situation before spouting off in the media. Unbelievable.

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Chipman's support of Bowman is no secret. You're attacking him based on semantics.

Must watch for anyone interested in this ongoing story. Press conference link: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/True-North-chairman-to-speak-to-media-today-290810601.html

Not to mention that both ended the season on injured reserve. Sometimes those players get squeezed out due to the number crunch when they get healthy again. Especially fringe players like Bilukidi. I'd be shocked to see either one here next year, and if we do it won't be until mid-season... and that is only if Bilukidi gets cut before the NFL season begins. If he gets cut mid-season I believe he will wait until at least 2016 to see if more offers come in.

I've had enough of Kane. I don't know what caused the healthy scratch but I have enough faith in Paul Maurice to believe Kane probably deserved it. But forget the off-ice stuff. Our premier, 6 million dollar sniper is on pace for yet another sub-20 goal season. That will be 5 out of 6 seasons in the NHL now. What are we paying this guy for??

I don't see any pending free agent NI OGs who would be significant upgrades over Greaves/Neufeld/Goossen. Wojt or Eppele could potentially be major upgrades but there are injury concerns. Of course there are injury concerns with Neufeld as well.

"...no, I mean they're BIIIIG...I mean, I look at them and go 'oh you've really let yourself go'..." One of my all-time favorite stand-up acts of all time! Best....RIP... Trying to place that quote and it's bothering me now. Is it the big fat guy who was getting mugged on the Seinfeld finale?

Don't say that!! Don't say that!!!!

They were not playing overly great prior to the All Star break. I know people are embracing the "it was the break" narrative but you could sort of see a tumble coming. They were winning, so it was easy to overlook. But its not just the break. That's true, I agree.

Thank you. This helped me figure it out and I was able to download the updates and roster. Ran off a 5-0 record as the Jets to start the season even though Hutch seemingly sucks in this game. Seems to me the quality of goalies in NHL 15 is entirely based off size. The biggest goalies are the best ones.

There could still be some good Canadian OL pickups available but they all have pretty big question marks. Joe Eppele: Speculation he might retire. But a starting guard for sure when healthy. Pascal Baillargeon: He was a highly-touted OL prospect but got injured at E-Camp. Bounced around between Hamilton and Montreal and possibly still dealing with injury issues. But if he is healthy... I believe he would still be a good prospect. Not sure if he has ever got any real playing time in the CFL yet. Dan Clark: He has started several games for the Riders at both center and guard, but has mostly been a backup. I think last season was his best in terms of playing-time, but maybe a Rider fan would correct me on that. Greg Wojt: Former divisional all-star. Missed 16 games last year with a shoulder injury. May or may not be healed. Alex Krausnick-Groh: He was a third round pick a few years ago and has mostly been a backup since then. I think he can long-snap as well. Gord Hinse: We already know this guy. Doesn't look like he'll be back.

Crazy what a 4 day all star break can do to a season. Completely off the rails now. Fortunately we are probably at the end of the losing streak... I mean it can't go on forever.... right?

"Here, take our junk for the guy you picked first overall a couple years ago."

I'm sure he would consider any deal, but who is willing to give up starting OL right now, even for a high pick? Nobody has a surplus.

Not necessarily. Toronto may still be in on Rogers and Calgary may still be in on Bryant. Not to mention that BC will be in the hunt along with Saskatchewan who will be trying to replace Heenan. Might even be some competition from Ottawa as well. Nothing is a given.

He's a tackle (has played both left and right side). He's been with them since 2010 but has seen less and less playing time due to injuries, the emergence of Stanley Bryant and the Stamps picking up Dan Federkeil. Still a good OL though. Harrison would be plan D for FA OL. A member of the Calgary media speculated a while back that the Stamps would re-sign one of Harrison or Bryant, but not both.
