Stickem replied to Wideleft's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Sounds like a great prospect....just hope he doesn't mind the cold............................. -
2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
Stickem replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Regarding retaining of draft pics.......I guess we've done fairly well judging by the talent we have retained and the Cup games we've played in recently....Facts and figures should ,such as this, equate to success on the field ....as that's what the name of the game is....Nice to retain all high level pics ....but if you're continually treading water as a club...what good are they....So many variables besides numbers -

Sad sad day.....Bud was the best headcoach this franchise has ever seen....Still hate the day he said he was heading south to join the Vikes BUT life moves on....Condolences to the family and RIP BUD ...you were the best -

Haven't done it yet.....BUT my old pins are really starting to give me a lot of trouble....especially on stairs....A lot of mileage and hits have finally caught up...The doc makes it sound fairly simple ....makes it sound like a cake walk BUT I'm always a little skeptical.....X-Rays show my cartilage in the knees has disappeared....Guess one day I'll have to bite the bullet -
Game 64: San Jose - West Side Story
Stickem replied to blue_gold_84's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Slip....slip ...slidin' away.....pathetic effort -
Yeah....it's a little misleading...I didn't read it through as it made me gag but you're right ....five for our former star .....that's about it....In any event we'll do our best to deny that attempt
-
T.O. ....using the phrase in 23' ...'drive for five' (in reality an attempt at 2 cups as a team)....Maybe Harris can have that distinction of five ....the rest of the argos ...not so much.....BUT when we notch no. 3 delayed....the heap Big Smoke &No Fire will have had to retire that slogan along with Harris
-
Pretty simple to figure out the preferential treatment between Alta. and Que.......one has oil.....the other has population and the votes....Governments will always kiss arse with vote getting.....so Alta. is bringing up the ass end
-
I hate to say it but too many of the well heeled corps....such as this is, the club just becomes a tax write off.....I wish it were much more AND it can be with the right owner and marketing....We'll see....Right now it's Quebecor that has stood up, maybe there's other people interested.....big maybe

Game 62 : @Edmonton - Have a little faith
Stickem replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I feel sorry for Bowness ....who had things going pretty good at the start of the year....I'm pretty sure he thought he'd get some backing for a playoff run BUT the gm didn't deliver ....The time was now when we have the talent to do something in the playoffs but Chevy couldn't get it done....Is it 100 percent his fault ....no....but the effort made was poor to nonexistent to give the current team a boost .....I have a bad feeling this club will now slip right out of the playoff picture AND if that happens a review of the club from top to bottom has to be in order ...IF TrueNorth sees no alternative but to keep the current gm in place ....then I don't like the future of this club going forward....Slip....slip slidin away -

........Which brings us to, and I know this is hockey BUT why is an NHL team being considered in failed Atlanta before Quebec city......IF the Nordiques would've been marketed properly , I think they'd still be there....We need more Canadian teams than we do another American club.......Guess the powers that be in the nhl just can't wrap their heads around another Canadian expansion -

Fantastic News.......going to be a blast -
Well you shoudn't be too disparaged as a Jet fan......we have all kinds of cap room.....one star counting the days till he joins the Habs and another wanting a trade out of town.....and the rumoured news that Atlanta is getting another nhl club .....geez ...could it be the return of the Thrashers et al Jets

My gawd you can't even crack a joke about Quebec without having somebody getting their shorts in a knot....Cripes if that little suggestion about renaming a team ...said in a jokingly kind of way is offensive....whoah....My brother-in-law is from Trois Reviere and he would've laughed at that suggestion...Too bad he wasn't still with us today ....he'd probably say ....lighten-up .... -

Long as he doesn't insist that the team be renamed the Montreal Quebecois -
So true......nonetheless...a well travelled vet. should help....Not a long term solution ....I hope we're not done.....yet
-
Yes.....I want to feel like we're a beaten down club forever....AND we'll never be a Cup winner .... cuz we're such a 'never want to be a destination' club ...and we are just plain no good as a place to be with no future....Bring out the whip now cuz I need a few lashes....We are definitely a bugger for punishment....and deserve nothing......................... (just some of the feeling I get from some of the exhilarating comments about us)

Dumped the Duke and took a flyer on a Walker.....sounds like riders .....team of destiny for sure......destiny dumpster.....I wonder what Harris is thinking now......something like ...'what the hell have I done ...a million ducats wasn't enough' -
I'm not a big fan of stretch Stanley but I hope we get more than a bench warmer for him or a high mileage defenceman......
-
Certainly there are situations where it becomes too expensive and would be the death knell of a gm to enter deals where it's too expensive and do not make sense BUT you just gave one like the Dubois move...What I don't agree with is giving up the 'probably assets' you mentioned to make that move to obtain Chychrun....We were apparently offering more than Ottawa (what that consisted of would only be known by Chevy) BUT it had to be significant....and yet the deal failed.....Are you telling me that Ottawa is a better market than Winnipeg and that's the reason it didn't work , because if it is, I can guarantee that 'berg' doesn't have anything on the Peg...So we were willing to give up assets and still came up empty....Something went wrong and I hope the gm has answers as to why it ended that way
-
I agree with the 'stacked deck' comment BUT in reality if we are only depending on the draft/develop and retain....then we're hooped from ever becoming a Cup winner.....There isn't one club from cellar dweller to the echelon teams that don't try and strengthen through trade.....IF it's beneficial and improves your club ....you do it or risk the label of 'not a team willing to go the extra mile to succeed'....Certainly there's a point where acquiring a player through a trade does not equate to a benefit monetarily, or make sense finanacially BUT you have to be prepared to do everything you can to improve a club like the Jets are presently in the standings..... or risk being out of the winners circle forever
-
AND if that's the best ...time to move on....We're not part of the NHL to give a guy a job in perpetuity ...produce or move along....We're stagnant and that's a reason why players see us as a dead end....New blood needed and there comes a time when change is needed
-
Time to have a really good look at Chevy's future with this club................................??
-
Big movement expected by Chevy shortly......bowel that is ...it'll be craptacular
