Goalie

the Don Matthews type don't exist anymore

Pretty much this. Not interested in the Muamba Gong Show tour at all... When he wants to come back and give up on the NFL, i'd be more than happy to pay that man the money.

No. He didn't play in the playoffs. Jim Slater did. Copp got the last game of the season vs Calgary and that's it.

I might be willing to see what a guy like Markus Howell could do as OC... he's been around a while, has played the game... He might just be the answer really. Couldn't be worse than MB and Crowton.

So our scouting is that awful that we were ready to trade for him before he was cut and then he's not even good enough to replace Burnett - I mean what has he done on ST this season? To be fair to Burnett, he did look pretty decent that one game he actually played before getting hurt. Also at the time, Ian Wild wasn't on the team.. I'll take Wild over Simmons every day.

We actually played pretty well vs Calgary both games this year... yeah that last game ended in a blow out but... in the first half, the game was very close, Our O couldn't move the ball, marve threw a pick 6 to start the second half and that was that pretty much. I think if our O can actually move the ball, that's a big IF but IF they do, i think we match up ok against Calgary... It's all about the O tho, cuz our D is good enough to keep it close if they aren't on the field all game.. Keep in mind that was the game where Marve didn't have 100 yards passing through 3 quarters.

Really? Some people want to see LAPO back? Taman too i guess? Let's just bring back everyone that has tried in the past and failed... that should work well. No thanks to LAPO, maybe if he's interested in the OC position but...as head coach, i think he left a lot to be desired. LOTS.. I just don't see how a team can get motivated to play for that guy.. ok, guys, ok, lets go out there, ok and ok... and beat them ok ok ok. That's a lapo pre-game speech.

No i didn't make it up... I was just talking with some friends, who know more about the game than you do and they said it appeared he was dogging it on special teams, these are guys who actually played football, a couple for the bisons for that matter, They just think simmons wasn't really trying that hard on special teams. He wasn't on the Calgary roster cuz he wasn't good on special teams.. if he was, he would have played but he wasn't. Pretty simple. Lots of hype for Simmons but basically did nothing.

I think you put Petan with linemates with skill and don't play him with guys like Thorburn and Raffl and you will see how good the guy is.. He's pretty much NHL ready, he's as ready as he will be, He's a playmaker, he was making plays out there the other game, sent raffl in on a breakway on a nice sauce pass up the middle, had a ton of zone time that he created on his own, his linemates didn't help him. Petan made a big impression on them last year, that matters.

Probably a callup if someone goes down but i don't see Olsen starting with the JETS... I think he could use a full year in AHL again to help him, maybe next season... but i think he's had a good few games but i just think there are other guys who are ahead of him.

You see him playing with the Jets the way he has played in Penticton or last night? I don't. Maurice said they will probably have 4 forwards in the lineup that have never played an NHL game before!!! Ehlers, Armia, Copp and Petan? Wow. Try again... Copp played an NHL game last year Lemieux is the other guy. Ehlers,Petan,Armia,Lemieux Telling you that 4th line is gonna be Lemieux Petan Armia to start...

Where did you hear this rumor? Garth Buchko and Jim Bell told me.

I thought Copp was pretty good defensively and that's all you can ask for from him right now... He was in the right spot for the most part, not sure his linemates were tho

Wasn't good on special teams either, was rumored to be dogging it out there on special teams pretty big time.

I mean, do Jets fans not remember what that 2011 roster looked like? It was basically ladd little and wheeler running things and that's it.. They had really bad goaltending and couldn't play D if their lives depended on it.. That roster was complete crap outside of maybe 5 or 6 players. Took Chevy a couple years, that's when guys like Scheif Trouba and Lowry started to make impacts, Actually last year was the first year all 3 were on the team and not surprisingly it was the best year The Jets/Thrashers/ Bombers comparison kind or works well... It shows you that it actually does take time to build a roster.. In a way, the bombers canadian content cupboards were empty too, it takes time to build that up. I'm a fan of both NHL AND CFL but... the pre-season games mean absolutely nothing really so... i'll be watching the bombers this Friday for sure. Just have a hard time getting excited to watch pre-season hockey... The bomber game means something, despite what some say and what most of us believe, the bombers aren't exactly done yet, the bomber games still mean something, the pre-season jets games... not so much. And in all seriousness, I'll probably tune in to the Jets game at times but... i don't really care about that game at all. McDavid? Big deal really, it's pre-season. If anything I'd love to see him getting hammered out there clean.

Did you miss it bro? He was released a few days ago by the bombers.

Not convinced copp makes it... very good defensively tho Lemieux Petan Armia would be sweet

Not a kane fan but I think he's innocent. No reason just feel he is.

Kosmo sucked. Should be much better than he has been. Not even close to nhl ready Karlstrom peluso Postma many "plugs" haven't played

3 4 Leggett Hurl Wild Bass

Drew Willy was hurt. That probably saves MOS. The D has been good. SP teams are up and down... talent not there. O HAS BEEN AWFUL.. oops. MOS is back. MB is done.

I see no need for both peluso and thorburn on the team. It wouldn't shock Me if you see Chevy pull a very minor trade.. peluso and Postma for a draft pick type thing. I also feel and kind of hope that you see more skill on the 4th line. Lemieux Petan Armia would be interesting to see

Not doing Linea but... Petan De Leo Fraser Halischuk kosmo Olson Raffl Albert Walker Lipon plus 2 or 3 more forwards D will be kichton Morrissey one or both of Pardy and Harrison Kostalek melchiori plus who knows . Helle and comrie

No comment really. I don't think MOS will be fired. I think MB will be tho so maybe the question should be who is available for the OC position

Ehlers will be on the team. And wouldn't surprise me if Lemieux and Armia are on the 4th line to start either. Maybe just 7 or 9 gamed for Lemieux but I think they like him.
