The Unknown Poster

Can't see that happening. Government missed the boat if they wanted to regulate and tax Internet. Over The Top is the way it's all going to be eventually. All Netflix has to do is say they will either back out of canada or raise prices significantly and the CRTC will be taken down by rioting public with torches and pitch forks. I don't think there is any stomach on behalf of the Feds to allow the crtc to do this.

The team didn't play great and this isn't about Hutch vs Pavs as most Pavs-haters like to make it. Pavs was the way better goalie except for one play. Hutch wasn't nearly good enough.

Yeah I think at this point it seems clear what happened. They used a popular designer who lacked the expertise to do a stadium project of this magnitude. There was not proper over-sight to ensure he and the GC brought in the expertise required. It happens on all levels of projects. Many of the large, expensive new homes in Waverly West have several issues. It happens. BBB is doing the right thing and hopefully the issues are rectified at no further expense to the Stadium owners. But I dont think there is anything to indicate this requires a lengthy and expensive inquiry.

This is the way to do it. Its almost a self contained universe but still exists within the greater MCU.

He was staring a hole through Trouba But what is Trouba supposed to do when a guy shoots from the middle of the ice, leap out of the way? Pavs wasnt ready. Period. I saw people on twitter before the game talking about how the Jets could have bought Pavs out last summer but didnt and how that was a poor decision. Last night proved why, no matter how well Hutch *can* play, even in hindsight, its good they didnt ditch Pavs (nor would they have in the summer with no other goalie options). We still arent getting the goaltending we need. If we miss the playoffs by a couple of points its going to come down to that. For Florida, I'd come back with Hutch because I think he needs it. Going with Pavs creates a goalie controversy. If there is to be a controversy, let it be because the goalies cause it not the coaches.

I must have missed where people jumped off the bandwagon.

Going to really be heart breaking. Psyche damaging really.

Pavs goal was career level Embarrassing. But hutch seemed to have let in about nine bad goals that game.

Yeah I'm on the "won't make playoffs" wagon tonight.

Awful. Hutch....come on

BBB just ran an audit of what was wrong. PCs want audit to show who's to blame for what happened. I dislike witch hunts for witch hunts sake.

Moving to an unsustainable way of living? lol where are you living? We are well past that point now. Unsustainable, bordering on suicidal is more like it. I work. Pay for my own car and home and trips. My way of living is sustainable. I have a Pension Plan and contribute to RSP's. My parents, in retirement, are probably much better off than my plan seems to be but you never know.

I dont know. Arent we moving to an unsustainable way of living now? How many kids live at home til they're 30? How many parents are giving their kids money to buy their first home? Thats all fine but are the kids of today who cant afford to live and cant afford their own home going to be in the same position as their parents and be able to support their own children? What happens then?

Waiting for Netflix to role out more can't miss programming. They really need to take advantage of their anything-goes position and create some really good adult programming like OITNB. House of Cards is good. Nothing else they've done has interested me. I know there is a new comedy coming out Im looking forward to.

When you’ve made the post-season once in your 16-year existence, discussing the playoffs before you’ve actually qualified is like talking about a shutout late in the third period or a no-hitter in the eighth inning. You don’t. Messing with the sporting gods is a no-win game. So, while the Winnipeg Jets won’t discuss life after the regular season until the team is officially in, it is giving season-ticket holders until Friday to lock up their seats for the playoffs. The Jets are currently sitting in the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference but have several teams breathing down their necks. But it’s not going to be cheap. One P1 seat will cost $831.90 in the first round, $970.55 in the second, $1,109.20 in the third and $1,663.80 in the Stanley Cup finals. (All prices are based on the Jets hosting four games per round, which, given the team’s current standing, is highly unlikely.) If a P1 ticketholder went to 16 home playoff games, it would cost $4,575.45. A P7 seat, meanwhile, will cost $250.50 for the first round, $292.25 for the second, $334.00 for the third and $501.00 for the finals. Attending 16 home playoff games would cost $1,377.75 in P7. Fans aren’t required to make any payments by Friday, just make an online confirmation, which can be done at winnipegjets.com. Seats that aren’t reserved will be released. ***The media never gets tired of complaining about things. People will pay so why complain. Thats basically $60 per game for the entire first round in P7. I'd pay that.

I think its vitally important to have deals done in the summer. if they wont budge, you trade them before camp. Having two locker room leaders, big parts of the team going into UFA at the deadline would be way too much of a distraction. Look at Frolik. Multiply that by 1000. And then you are over a barrel because if you keep them after the deadline you risk losing them for nothing. If you trade them at the deadline, you get help but you risk gutting your team in mid-season. They either re-sign this summer or get traded.

Im not sure if this is neccesary. It plays well in the media but its a cost. To me this sounds like its best handled the way it is: owner vs builders, let a judge decide. And yes, many items might seem like nitpicking but thats what you do in a lawsuit like this. If I had a new house built which included weather stripping and the weather stripping wasnt done, I might shrug and go do it myself. If the roof leaked and the foundation cracked and I was forced to sue, I'd definitely mention every little thing. Because if a professional builder cant do the little things I can see, how do I know he did the big things I cant?

I hear ya. I have way more channels then I ever watch just in case something is on I want to watch. here's my go-to: Monday Night Raw (usually on FF these days) Mindy Show New Girl (waning) Goldbergs Modern Family SVU Black List Dateline Fridays Blue Bloods Walking Dead Good Wife True Detective The Affair Game of Thrones Also, watched Young & Restless since I was 15 and stopped last year. Heard they had a new head writer and started watching again recently. Its improved. Netflix hasnt won me over yet but we maintain an account for occasional movie watching and Orange is the New Black. I like House of Cards too. Had a buddy cancel his Netflix and drop his cable down a lot and got Shomi (or whatever it's called).

Ew...Lisa Bonet? Maybe before she got a facelift. Maybe it's nostalgia. I've had a thing for her since the Cosby Show.

AHL would give fans a look at Jets' futureBy: Tim Campbell Posted: 3:00 AM | Comments: 0 IF the planned vote of AHL governors Thursday approves the transfers of the St. John's IceCaps to Winnipeg (as requested by the Winnipeg Jets) and the Hamilton Bulldogs to St. John's, N.L., (as requested by the Montreal Canadiens), the wheels will go quickly into motion for plans for the 2015-16 season. There won't be much disruption of business in St. John's, though it will be causing some hockey personnel to relocate. Who will we see? ONE of the attractive elements of having an NHL team's affiliate playing in the same city is the ability to watch the franchise's future live. If the Winnipeg Jets are successful in transferring their AHL team to the MTS Centre for next fall, here are some of the prospects fans may see: G Connor Hellebuyck G Eric Comrie D Josh Morrissey D Jan Kostalek D Brenden Kichton D Julian Melchiori RW Scott Kosmachuk RW JC Lipon RW Joel Armia C Nic Petan C Ryan Olsen C Jimmy Lodge RW Austen Brassard One footnote: 2014 first-round draft pick Nik Ehlers and trade acquisition Brendan Lemieux will not be eligible to play in the AHL next season (except after their team's elimination from playoffs). Other prospects in college hockey, such as Andew Copp at Michigan, still have NCAA eligibility and it's not known today if they'll turn pro. The move back to Winnipeg for the Jets' AHL franchise won't be blind -- owners True North started out by operating IHL and AHL teams from 1996 to 2011 -- but many adjustments will be required. Among some of the considerations locally: Home iceThe AHL team will play in the MTS Centre. There are no other realistic venues in Winnipeg. It's believed the AHL team will be housed in its own quarters in the arena, and not just use the NHL room when needed. What the transfer of the team back to Winnipeg may do is speed up the talked-about renovations for the MTS Iceplex, which may need additional facilities to provide comfort for both the Jets and an AHL team when they practise there (which could be more frequently, given the squeeze on time at the MTS Centre). There has been talk of expanding the Jets' space at the Iceplex, which currently isn't large. ScheduleIt sounds nearly certain the majority of the AHL teams will play 76 games next season, as compared to 82 for the NHL. The exception will be the Pacific Division AHL teams, which will play some number in the 60's, it's been reported. The league used to have an 80-game schedule, in Moose days, but reduced that a few years ago. The push, largely by NHL-owned franchises, to go down to 72 games won't be going ahead any time soon. What Winnipeg fans will surely be reintroduced to are home doubleheaders. This was the blessing and curse of Winnipeg's (and St. John's) geography in relation to AHL rivals in the past and will surely be a reality in the future. Travel for the AHL team will, at times, not be fun, so nothing new there for those familiar with the IceCaps and Moose. That's the reality of the AHL. It's also likely the AHL team will build its home schedule around the Jets' schedule at the MTS Centre. NHL schedules are generally released in June, the AHL's in August. Home afternoon-evening doubleheaders (one AHL, one NHL) aren't out of the question. AHL alignmentIt's a cart-before-the horse question. The league realigned its divisions last year and will do so again for 2015-16. Already, the AHL has approved a new Pacific Division with San Jose (Sharks), Ontario (Kings), San Diego (Ducks), Stockton (Calgary) and Bakersfield (Edmonton) all in California venues. The Jets' AHL team will not be part of that group. True North had said previously it was not interested in that scheme to take teams to the West Coast and the franchise transfer from St. John's to Winnipeg is not part of that story. Many possibilities for 2015-16 exist, given the holes in the east left by the teams moving west. TicketsThere's a considerable difference in the price of AHL tickets vs. NHL tickets. Currently in St. John's, IceCaps single-game tickets can be found for $23 to $31 (plus fees). Season tickets and packages enjoy some discounts. NHL tickets in Winnipeg go from $52 to more than $180 face value in single-game sales, but vary widely depending on opponent. True North said a year ago its true average ticket price was $81 for the Jets. All of that factored in, there will be a segment of fans that find the affordability of AHL games attractive and often a difference in a decision to attend. Financial pictureKeep in mind that in St. John's or Winnipeg, hockey operations (players, equipment, travel) cost X. In Winnipeg, operating an AHL team won't cause True North to have to build a new business operation. They have one running the NHL team, one that's in many ways familiar with running an AHL team because that's how they started. An AHL team in Winnipeg would reduce some costs for True North. Though the assigning of players both up and down wouldn't always be free -- sometimes players would have to be assigned or recalled while one team or the other was on the road -- the overall cost will go down because sometimes it won't involve an expensive last-minute flight. And it'll be the same for scouting and monitoring the progress of the AHL team by the NHL team's management and scouts. Those costs won't go to zero but they will be reduced significantly by the mere playing of games at the MTS Centre. As for revenue, it's hard to say. The IceCaps have been an outstanding draw in St. John's. They sold out the first 120 games they played at Mile One Centre, 6,287 fans strong for each. Attendance has dipped somewhat this year, averaging 5,787. In the final season of the Manitoba Moose, an average of 8,404 fans attended at the MTS Centre, second-best total in the league. The numbers were steady and in that range since the MTS Centre opened in 2004. In each case, St. John's or the Moose, it was strong revenue streams. Both were believed to be profitable businesses. tim.campbell@freepress.mb.ca

Im a big fan of his wife and step daughter.

I dunno...it's DC. They aren't exactly very smart when making movies outside of the Batman franchise. Quoted for the truth! To be fair, they do seem to be making some strides in the right direction but they still make some head scratching decisions. I'm still trying to get my head around Khal Drogo/New Conan as Aquaman. I had trouble with this until I saw the promo shots. He looks great.

Seems idiotic to me.

TSN 1290 conducted a lengthy interview with Maurice and the Big Show guys were talking about a point I also noticed - Maurice was explaining the vision Chevy laid out for him when he was hired last year. He said Chevy has done everything he said he'd do but he added, had things not worked out (presumably meaning had the team continued to tank), Chevy had planned to trade assets and get a lot younger. I think that's almost a shocking admission because it's pretty specific in who it's talking about (Buff, Ladd, Little, Enstrom, Wheeler - maybe not all of them but thats the "older core"). Its an insight into the thought process of those guys. The fact Chevy was willing to dump the older core if the team couldnt win is very interesting. If you recall following the draft, Chevy admitted they had some deals talked about that required owner-level approval. Makes you wonder...

Thats why I'd offer a sliding deal that gets smaller as he ages. Which is good for the Jets and better for trade options if it came to that. Front load his deal and give him a bunch of money in the first couple of years.
