Three strong candidates with Mike Holmes (Brock’s go-to wideout in the late 70’s) and Norm Rauhaus (still #2 all-time on the club’s Career INT list), but I went with the best photo I could find and gave it to Boyd. Classic look with the mustard yellow pants and blue side stripe, with the striped socks and blue face mask on the bright gold helmet. Bonus points for the yellow towel.

No need. Every game day thread is the Goalie Jets (Scheifele) bitchfest thread, until they start winning. Then the posts disappear strangely enough, only to return with the next loss. Was really thrown when I saw this Goalie post after the Coyotes game: ”Are your expectations so ridiculous that you can't enjoy the game? It would appear that with the constant anti helle comments tho that perhaps them winning pisses you off? I left hfboards cuz I got tired of the gimmicks on there... got tired of the same old same old from the same old. Don't turn this in to hfboards” Now I’ve figured it out, the account must have been hacked 🤣 Because the same old same old from the same old is back at it.

Holy **** what a goal by Wheeler. Glad it happened in Toronto because TSN can’t ignore it now. Matthews or McDavid scores it that’s your goal of the year candidate.

I’m sure the Riders or a LaPo team anywhere but 9th has caused a Louis Del Grande style clean-up on Aisle 5 for certain craniums around here.

Funny that the same Russian government whose military is looking quite inept in its Ukraine invasion is the same one that could coordinate a cyber-campaign to de-stabilize the US and influence its elections. Not sure if it says more about the strength of Ukraine or weakness of the US.

If you are looking for credibility, politics may not be the best place to start. Now, hypocrisy, whataboutism, gaslighting, self-interest, well…….

The rules have been tweaked to not allow spinoramas, second shots, stopping, puck going backwards, etc. So the refs do watch to see if forward progress stops. Only other thing I could think would be to put a shot clock on, but as long as they feel he was moving forward, goal should be OK. I remember Danny Heatley trying that move against Steve Mason in a Jets year one game in Minnesota. Mason just stood there and Heatley ran out of space and shot it into his pads. Can look great a la Patrick Kane or can look really foolish.

This actual quote from Kevin McCarthy, who seems to apply a different standard when it is about supposed election fraud, Democrats, or anything that might taint him personally: ”It's just frustrating. There's no evidence behind his statements. And when I sit down with him ... I told him you can't make statements like that, as a member of Congress, that affects everybody else and the country as a whole."

Sometimes, choice is easy.

25 minutes of play and Hellebuyck being a brick wall was enough tonight to get two big points. Stats say Buffalo had more giveaways (8-6) but it sure didn’t look that way. But 2 points is 2 points at this time of year.

Svechnikov the only regular Jet who has not caught COVID this season (if you count Hellebuyck who caught it in August).

Glen Scrivener.

Only pic I could find.

League needs to implement “the Gold Plan”.

I had heard something about that through the rumour mill, I think on the OurBombers comments (that Hogan was being escorted out, and his son was person #2 who intervened, or person #3 who got charged with the assault) but I did not have any confirmation from the story, so I did not want to speculate on what was not factually in front of me. That still stands, so although I concur that I have heard the same thing as you, it is not gospel so don’t take any credence in it from me. And weird that the fact of the 24 year old being the one charged doesn’t match the picture of what appears to be an older male (with the Hulkamania bandana) throwing a punch.

Specific story in the paper was that fans were drunk in the student section, one on particular was so drunk (52 year old) police went to escort them out. Second fan jumped in to intervene, more police arrive. Third fan (24 year old) then jumps in and starts punching police officer in the head repeatedly. Drunk 52 year old tries to break free and he and police officer roll down the stairs in the struggle. Many fans then throw beer at the police as they walk the inebriated folks out of the stadium. 24 year old charged with assault P.O., 52 year old to the drunk tank but later released. Picture in the paper:

You said he was overlooked, implying to me that he should have been picked for #76. I opted for Grant, thought he’d be the obvious choice. But feel free to post extra pictures of other players if you’d like.

Oh I’m sorry. Did I disparage the character of this fine upstanding Bomber fan? How dare I! https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/fans-turn-on-officers-69638302.html I have my personal reasons for disliking and thinking less of fans I consider drunken hooligans. If you feel that you are owed a public explanation for “why I am the way I am” on this topic I can get into it on the board here.

Tommy Lumsden, only one of three officially retired Bomber numbers.

Are you seriously ranking Darryl Patterson ahead of Bud Grant?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess Trucker Convoy?

What would be the 5 most unbreakable records in hockey? Or in sports overall? (BTW Beamon’s record was broken, but it was astonishing how long it lasted and how much it went beyond the previous record at the time) Off the top of my head:: 1. Gretzky’s 163 assists in 1985-86 (only Lemieux has had more points in a season 2. Glenn Hall’s 502 consecutive games as a goalie (double the next highest streak, with today’s load management no goalie will ever touch this one 3. Selanne’s 76 goals as a rookie (tough because you only get one shot at it and only 3 players have ever scored more goals than that in any one season) 4. Joe Malone’s 2.2 goals per game average (44 in 20 games, obviously a completely different game then) 5. Gretzky’s 3 consecutive 200 point seasons (you could probably pick any number of his records, no one else has ever cracked it once, good luck doing it 4 times in a row) Any other obvious ones I missed?
