Atomic

Ok I'll do it!

That is the only way I can see it working as well. There would be a mighty cold wind up there in late November. I was in the endzone temp seating in Canad Inns at the 2006 Grey Cup and I'm still shaking off the cold.

Brouillette missed games early in the season with the IceCaps but apparently has been playing well. He has also played in the NHL before, with the Caps, so he might not be a bad option. Regardless, this is the first real injury trouble the Jets have got into this year, so it should be interesting to see how they handle it.

Looks like Dustin Byfuglien will be moved to defence. "One of our best options" said Maurice. #nhljets #cbcmb — Jeff Hamilton (@jeffkhamilton) December 4, 2014 Zach Bogosian expected to miss 4-6 weeks with lower body injury, Enstrom to miss rest of month. Clitsome out two weeks. #nhljets #cbcmb — Jeff Hamilton (@jeffkhamilton) December 4, 2014 No Bogosian, Enstrom, Little or Clitsome at #NHLJets practice today. Bogosian hurt himself after blocking a shot yesterday. #cbcmb — Jeff Hamilton (@jeffkhamilton) December 4, 2014

Wow, talk about horribly misrepresenting a story. Here is the actual story for anyone interested: http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/index.ssf/2014/11/canzano_her_name_is_brenda_tra.html

Perreault had a great game as well

I think you might be misinterpreting their point. They were making that point to show how poorly Edmonton has drafted, and outside of their multiple top 3 picks in recent years, have almost nothing to show from the other 40 (?) draft picks they've made. Contrary to that, the Jets look to have picked up a lot of talent outside of the first round of the draft. From a managerial point of view, these are teams headed in totally opposite directions. I understand that. Their discussion wasnt about the Jets, I just thought it was interesting to take their point and apply it to the Jets who are certainly doing a far better job of drafting then the Oilers but still arent up to the cup contender average. The Oilers are a mess of epic proportions. How you can draft that high for so many years and be this bad is beyond me. If they end up with McDavid, it would be a damn travesty. But we arnt cup contenders yet.... or am i missing something? Right. My point simply being an interesting observation. I didnt know about a correlation between home grown draft picks and cup teams. I find that interesting. Its a point towards the jets' draft and develop mentality even when fans want a quicker turn around. Because of what we got from Atlanta, it might take for then five years before 11 draft picks are regulars on our team. Just another measure of our development. And then compared to the mess in Edmonton.... oh boy. We'll have 11 draft picks as regulars next year.

Just to confirm, re: Jets draft picks still with the team: Scheifele, Little, Lowry, Enstrom, Bogosian, Kane, Trouba, Postma, Slater. That's 9.

I think Rich makes a good point. Maybe if we were playing the top line 24-25 minutes per night, I could see the argument that they will run out of gas. But as it stands, our top line is getting the same minutes as any other top line, maybe even less than some teams. I have a hard time believing that the 3rd line and 2nd line receiving a couple extra minutes per game is going to make a big difference in the long run, in terms of endurance. I mean, most teams aren't playing their 4th line any more than 8 or 9 minutes per game so we're talking about an extra 4-5 minutes spread out between 3 lines here. However I still believe we should be looking to improve that 4th line. I think JC Lipon and Patrice Cormier are both guys in our system that could eventually work their way into the mix. I also think that if we are in playoff position come March, we will be looking really hard at making some trades to improve our depth. I still believe that had Scheifele not been injured last year, Chevy would have made a move at the deadline to try to push the team into the playoffs. I have no reason to believe he won't be looking to do the same this year. And hey, let's get some love in here for Ben Chiarot. Nice to know we have at least one guy in St. John's who can step up and fill a hole on defence when necessary.

Where is Walters? Why no announcement on the coaching staff? He must know everyone is waiting. Seems to me Kyle is getting a little too comfortable in the big chair. He showed a hell of a lot more hustle last year around this time, I hope he's not getting complacent. The fans deserve to know. Other teams are already hiring new staffs and Bomber fans are totally left in the dark. Not liking this.

I think that is probably pretty accurate.

What more is there to say? He made our OL better when he was starting but he couldn't stay healthy. Good player to have around but we still need to try to upgrade in free agency.

Oh OK. I like this game. Joe Mack would be a good GM here.

That already happened.

He can play both wings, they will find a spot for him.

Here's the deal - Wally will fix his problem, not sure the Bomber Brain Trust can do the same! The offensive line has been a problem for Wally for 3 years, remember how they had to start Kabongo and the pollster for 2 years? Not much progress being made there. The pollster! Haha!

I'm quite curious to see how the temp seating is going to be set up. I've been wondering since they finished the stadium. I get the general idea but I'm wondering how they are going to pull it off. Anyways, I'll pay whatever. Only so many Grey Cups in Winnipeg.

Well, seeing as they hold the Calgary organization, as a model for the Bombers org. to aspire to, I get you are getting your wish. And that's why we've put into place, perhaps our best scouting dept. ever. - planning ahead. Best scouting department ever? How so? Because Walters said it is? I'll believe it when I see the results. I'm not saying it's not the best ever but I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think it is anywhere close to deserving that title. Moe Leggett was a good pickup. Bruce Johnson and Paris Cotton are decent players. Beyond that? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Steinauer and Garcia would be my top choices.

All I can say is that the Halo Master Chief Collection has been a clusterf*** of epic proportions. Matchmaking is totally busted. What a let down.

Not being what they were a few years back is a decline. What I mean is that they are competitive every year. They could have easily been in the Grey Cup this year and even last year as well.

Whether we are keeping our coaches or not, the fans deserve some sort of announcement, and soon.

Possible head coach candidate in BC?

Madani is a huge drama queen. Not sure how he's still employed in the business. Because he is great at his job. Very well connected.

a little over fifty years ago, blacks were regularly strung up from trees, for things like going out with a white woman. in 1963 white racists blew up a church with a bunch of little black girls in it, the kids all died. a few years or so ago, cops in New York gunned down an unarmed black bridegroom on his wedding night. He was doing nothing. they shot him a hundred or so times. a few years ago a black kid in texas was hooked up and dragged behind a car, till he died. The police wanted to say it was hit and run. Colin Powell, Secretary of Defence for Bush, has been racially profiled. A black harvard professor was arrested going into his own home. Cops broke into an old black guy's apartment in New York last year, as a result of a screw up on a medical alert. A false alarm. He told them he was ok, and told them to go away. they broke in anyway, and tasered him to death. He was doing nothing. unarmed innocent man returning from dinner gunned down. "The Shooting of Amadou Diallo occurred on February 4, 1999, when Amadou Diallo, a 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea, was shot and killed by four New York City Police Department plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss, who fired a combined total of 41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his apartment at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the Soundview section of The Bronx. The four were part of the now-defunct Street Crimes Unit. All four officers were charged with second-degree murder and acquitted at trial in Albany, New York.[1] get m sam for the bombers!!! And I'm sure that white people are never the object of racism right? If white's are so evil maybe you should paint yourself a more pleasant colour. Racism will ALWAYS exist, on ALL sides, TO all sides. This is life, this Earth, this is the human race. Where's Atomic -- someone other than me has to help here.... Black people, or Natives for that matter, can't really be "racist" -- racism requires a system where the oppressive group is in a position of greater power or privilege. Minorities certainly can be racially prejudiced, yes. And it's not semantics -- cause it all boils down to power, and control over one's destiny. People a lot smarter than me have written about it. It's a nuanced argument, and its helpful if you step away from the moronic "don't like it go join Isis" type of rhetoric and actually investigate -- without prejudice -- what the other side is saying. Haha I agree with everything you're saying but I also know how hard it is to change people's minds on subjects like these. I say my piece and get out.
