Injury playing a role? @TSNBobMcKenzie: On the Evander Kane situation in WPG, how best to put this? It's complicated. @TSNBobMcKenzie: While Kane was termed coach's decision/healthy scratch last night, there is specter of injury here. @TSNBobMcKenzie: There may be some underlying non-injury issues as well that factored into absence last night. @TSNBobMcKenzie: I would expect we may have clearer picture of Kane's status in the next 24 hours.

Chipman not being totally truthful here either. Talking about giving a financial donation to Bowmans campaign. He did more than that, he held a fundraiser for Bowman. So, Both are guilty here of probably not telling the entire truth. But in the end, this will get done for sure.

One thing I'll say about this whole Kane thing, the media sure likes to play it up, rumor is he broke curfew, if that's the case, big deal really. I understand sitting him cuz guys can't be above the team but... the media seems to like to play it up like Kane killed someone or something. This isn't the first time tho that he has been sat for off ice issues, so it seems to be a trend of sorts, I'm not in the room so i don't know how the other players feel but i'd suspect they are none too pleased with Kane at the moment. Wheeler at the start of the year said Kane needs to become a leader on the team, he hasn't. Perhaps it is time to move on from Kane, probably not now but.. in the off-season, i'd strongly consider moving him. Honestly, I think we'd still get back quite a bit of pieces in return, This team can win without Kane, he is not the horse that is making this team click so if you could trade him and upgrade your team as a whole, you'd be silly not too. I suspect Kanes days in the peg are coming to and end but i hope when they do, the Jets trade him for something of value and not just trade him for the sake of trading him. I'd be looking at Florida,Buffalo,Arizona. Kane to Yotes for Gormley,Boedker and a 1st? Yotes will be picking top 5 tho so that 1st is unlikely. Kane to Florida for Huberdeau and a 1st? give both of them fresh starts. Hell, if not huberdeau, flordia has quite the list of young guys ready to come in and play.

Depends what you want your D to be like, Pouliot is thought to be a very good offensive d man. Not very good defensively tho.

I hope not. Sisco has the same rep in Regina as Etienne had here, but with way more owies. Some guys just need a change of scenery, he's still young enough that he might show his potential finally. If not, oh well, gave him a shot. I don't think we are in a position to be snubbing our noses at potential upgrades to our canadian depth.

The only one i like is to the habs for gallagher d man and a 1st. The rest are crazy.. Winnipeg 2015 1st? You can't be serious, Jets aren't trading their first round pick this year. Reimer? Lupul? Rattie? No thanks. Hutch traded too there in one and reimer comes here? So we trade away a goalie with potential to be very good for another average goalie? No thanks. The Habs one is the only one i'd do. The rest are just not good at all.

Goes without saying. How about their 2015 first round pick They have 3 of them actually... Their own, NYI's and St Louis's. I would imagine since they don't have much of anything on their roster, that it might... what about something like.. Kane,Pav for Neuvirth,Stewart and both NYI and St Louis's Picks. Buffalo really has very little on that roster to chose from and the guys they do have to chose from, the Ristolainens, Zadorovs,Girgensons,Sam Reinharts, they won't move.

Earnest Jackson is a guy i think they might have interest in. Stanley Bryant out of Calgary would be another i'd imagine. Probably see some depth players like Sam Hurl and maybe if barbershop in sask rumors are true, Jordan Sisco being brought in. Gonna have some lowered expectations. I expect Ellingson to go to Ottawa.

Thought BJ had a good start to the year but a terrible finish, believe he was benched or at least didn't start the last few games. If a db can come in and beat him out for his spot, so be it really.

Stewart is a UFA after the year, no way they trade KANE for stewart straight up. Buffalo would have to add lots.

the second goal on pav was soft but the last one was a 2 on 1 pretty much, not sure how somebody could say that last goal was soft when 9 out of 10 goalies wouldn't have stopped it either. Hutch let in a few soft ones vs the flames and didn't see any comments there. Pav was the reason the team got one point and almost the reason they got 2. Say what you want but... penalties are killing this time, didn't Vancouver score on the powerplay? at one point, vancouver had more shots on the powerplay than the jets did in the entire game. Blaming PAV? crazy really.. guy played very well. That second goal was a bit weak but... announcers seemed to think it deflected off chiarots stick in front of him... the last goal tho? 2 on 1 in OT and it's a weak one? Can blame Buff for that one more than PAV as buff pinched up on the play and got caught and fell down.

No team would build around kane, he's a winger. If he was a center or D man, teams would build around him but he's not, he's a third liner at this point and time.. He's had chances with Scheif on the second line and other players in the past too and has yet to show he is the player some people believe he can be. He is talented no doubt but... what he seems to lack the most is intangibles, like hockey IQ, that's an important thing to have, he seems to lack it. He has been playing well lately tho and i really don't know if he wants to be here or not, i don't even care if he wants to be here or doesn't want to be here, that's really irrelevant.... but if his off ice issues (yeah issues) cuz this isn't the first time in his Jets career that he has been healthy scratched for off ice issues is a distraction to a team in a playoff hunt, then well it's best to move on from him sooner rather than later. Yeah he may yet turn in to that 30 goal scorer, consistent 30 goal scorer, i have my doubts he ever does tho cuz it seems for all that "natural" talent he has, he's got a 10 cent brain..

Kane doesn't have a no trade Clause tho so we could trade him to buffalo if they made the best offer

Trades can still be made. Who? Dunno but between now free agency and the draft. I'll bet we see some trades

Buff is a liability defensively and has not been the same since the all star game. One of him or Ladd need to go cuz the team hasn't won anything together yet and haven't made the playoffs. Buffs age and salary demands probably don't go with what the jets are building. Building with youth. Buff won't be the same buff in a couple seasons. Are we legit contenders? Don't think so. Will we be soon? No. Trade buff while he still has value

0-4-1 now

Kane was benched for off ice issues. A point Is a point tho

hate to say it cuz i don't really think Kuale gets it either but.. football politics does play a role i think... One would have to assume that Hall was the guy that said to get rid of Kuale, and if ETCH was still DC, maybe Kuale still would be here. So i suppose in a way, that is football politics but the guy should probably understand that he isn't just being cut because the DC changed, although it probably does have something to do with it.

Yeah they did but for the longest time, they were just going on and on about the foot locker thing, finally mentioned it a couple times yes but... i'd suspect it was mainly due to the people on twitter letting them know that. It almost seemed like they were told not to mention he played in the CFL actually.. but yes they did mention it a few times later on after going on and on and on about foot locker for a guy quarter or so.

Buff and Enstrom looked bad, Chiarot didn't look as good, Bogo obviously struggled but the Jets pretty much dominated the Stars, I'd be more concerned about this little losing streak if we were getting dominated ourselves, we aren't tho, we are just taking way way too many penalties... bunch of different guys too taking pretty bad penalties, bogo yes but he wasn't the only one, perreault took a dumb one, buff did too, few other guys also. Bogo seems to be getting the blame cuz his was pretty selfish but the reality is... stars were 4 for 8 on the powerplay.. Reality seems to indicate that if we take penalties, we will lose, we don't and we will win. Bogo took 2 penalties but.. seemed like Perreaults penalty actually started the downfall of the team... The Jets dominated 5 on 5 tho.

http://bluebombers.com/coaching-staff No help there at all, not update at all.. Mcdiarmid still listed as LB coach actually which is kind of funny considering he just signed on with the Riders. No Official announcement yet i guess, i guess all we really know is Knox is going to be on the defensive staff, just don't know what postiion he will be coaching

Enjoyed see Matthews have a big game, good guy and deserves a real shot to show what he can do, was somewhat pissed about NBC not mentioning him being the CFL rookie of the year, they were talking like they just scouted him at a foot locker or something when in reality, he was playing in the CFL. He might have been working at foot locker in the off season but no doubt the seahawks were aware of him due to his CFL time. They finally mentioned it tho, probably due to Twitter and everybody on there pretty much mentioning Matthews played in the CFL. Was cool to See Matthews vs Browner (another former CFL player) matched up later in the game too.

Yeah, was just gonna mention that, Miles seems to be a DB coach and we already have one apparently, i mean, was knox officially announced as the db coach? Or was that just a CJOB thing? is it official that he is the db coach or could he be something else? Not sure there is a spot for Miles here, i still would like to have him here too but... DL? nah, LB? doubt it.. defensive assistant? makes sense i suppose... special teams coach? Unless we can Tracy or he becomes a positional coach like DL or LB instead, not sure i see where Miles fits.

Personally, all the ads on ourbombers got a little crazy, posted there a few times, not often but did have an account and for the most part, i found, quite honestly, just like this site but it's way better, that most of the same people were on the bombers official site and said the same stuff there as they did on OB. com Guess, maybe the mod banning people left right and center didn't help but surely there are other reasons. The simplest reason, this site and the official site are just better.

I think it's more likely buff gets traded in the off-season, only because he would return more in a deal. Trading bogo for a rental is crazy. I guess, if we are trading guys cuz they took penalties that lead to dallas goals last game, perreault, chiarot and buff too. Maybe Slater and Little also, we took 8 penalties that game so 7 guys should be traded. Bogo for a rental? Chevy would be fired immediately and rightfully so.
