Yup. Everything starts in the trenches and works out from there. This is not an overblown issue.

As most of us thought BLM was cooked but proven wrong last season, the big question mark for me with BLM is can he replicate it yet again but also get the team into the playoffs?

And now he's appealing. In an appropriate scenario the judgment would be: Appealed denied. Suspension increased to 20 games. Please appeal again and see what happens.

I love your zen here. The chamomile tea must be working.

Your last sentence sums it up nicely. No hate, just reality, tough decisions, tough love part of the role of a professional coach unfortunately.

FFs, what are you, twelve? Truth hurts neener neener neener. Jeebus, I thought I was the toddler around here. I don't care who you cheer for but it would be nice if it wasn't the Jets/Bombers, I'm not really wanting to be clumped in your group in how you describe the Peg.

Here's a random thought I had walking the dog last night packaged as news. Protect **** Van Dyke at all costs. The man is a treasure we need on this planet.

Your response here was wayyyy too kind especially with this person's mimicking Trump speak (ie sh*thole). I was writing something out way more direct but deleted it. All I'll say here is go cheer for another team then, I hear the Golden Knights regularly take on new fans, transient as they are.

I think that's way to harsh to say, I think a more tempered response is his greatest strengths as a coach can sometimes be his greatest weaknesses as a coach. Please don't hurt me. 🙂

It seems based on what I've heard from MOS when interviewed, with certain players (e.g., ZC, JT, BA) its not about thinking their back-ups aren't capable, its more his admiration for these certain players as human beings and what they have accomplished on and off the field that trumps the need to sit/pull/release them. As he regularly stated more than once post game when asked about this issue of changing out certain players and/or should have started another player he said that thought never entered his mind pre, during and post game. That's telling. Oh and we are lucky to have MOS as our head coach but the man does, like all of us, have his quirks and foibles.

Similar to the Bomber organization, winning, respectability, being a first class organization will help (not guarantee) draw talented hockey players who view compensation/location as not the only criteria in where they believe is best suited for their and their family needs to ply their craft. At the eod tho lots and lots and lots of money can drown everything else out and with the rise in the salary cap, small market teams like our Jets might want to invest even more in their scouting departments.

Balanced with the fa approach to loading up, how about we go out and find ourselves another type Lawler and I know they aren’t plentiful to find but that’s what professional scouts are paid to do and I’m not expecting perfection just a good ole college try.

Depends on the issue and the approach used. If it’s a plan and push approach - little collaboration with minimal voices. If it’s engage and co-create approach - lots of collaboration with multiple voices.

You have a great way of presenting your perspective as fact. Cuz if we did have him (not that I would have wanted him) MOS wouldn't have brought him in anyways so we would have never known just like what would have happened if he brought in Wilson and/or Dolegala. Don't know and never will.

Apparently the Elks are going to bring in a placekicker (insert other positions as appropriate) who is going to play for free.

Who is this man? Never heard of him. Why is he wearing Bomber stuff?

It's going to be interesting to see what Chevy does with the Ehlers situation, especially with where the Jets find themselves this season. It would be insane to me that one of the options is him walking away as a UFA getting nothing in return other than what he has contributed to the Winnipeg Jets over the last seven years.

Exactly where my mind went. The only thing missing is the pick-up truck with the hockey stick holding up the Canadian Flag.

That Tush Push reminds me of peewee football as in that's the primary play one team would call all the way down the field cuz they had huge 11 year olds with beards. 🙂

This is why it's not enough. Here's the cheap shotter's 'explanation' (taken from the Yardbarker): "Hartman contends that he is attempting to use his hand to regain his balance using Stutzle as support and that their fall to the ice is accidental," the league added. The same guy that contended his extremely dangerous hit on Ehlers was 'clean'. As a Redditt poster posted eloquently about Hartman: That's such a rat f'ng thing to do... greasy as fk. I concur.

Good luck to him (except against us). BLM better work on his arm strength. The way I look at it, we now have one less streaky player on our starting roster.

Grumpy me says if you're going to report on this let us know the length of the contract. Sources couldn't tell you that as I yell at the clouds with my fist in the air.

I'm replying to a 2023 post, outstanding. I've always enjoyed WildPath's posts, wish they would post more often. 🙂 Here's tip we got if you're ever stuck in snow that has been helped us help out a many people along our travels. Take our your floor mats in your vehicle and put them under the tires. It gives the tires grip and most times viola you're unstuck. So simple yet so brilliant!

Or kept around way past their due date. My biggest issue is not our involvement in free agency, it's the lack of consistent variables to determine who are the best 12 people we need to put on the field to maximize our success.

A blend, an integration of both is ideal.
