100% the NHL and the Jets themselves are assholes for not being able to adjust the sched for this. **** 'em both. 

I remember a time when the Jets would have done just that but TV controls everything now.

getting WAY off track in this thread, but......what's helped me a ton with that time of year has been ice fishing. The wife and I are super into it and it gets me through those brutal months from Christmas until spring. I'm extremely thankful for it. If I lived at home again (knocks on wood) I'd be going every freaking day from December to April....

Yeah, makes sense to have a hobby or sport to make the time go faster. That's something I need to do.

Snowmobiling. I have never seen an unhappy person on a snowmobile. Winter is my very favorite time of the year.

I tried ice fishing once.  Ruined my oven and flooded my kitchen cooking it.

I want one SUPER bad, but my current location doesn't really justify it. My greatest dream of all dreams is being able to move back to Pinawa.....first thing I'd have is a boat, and a snowmobile would be second. Sleds are just the best.....braaaaaaap.

I always wanted a snowmobile but my body would fall apart at my age. I've toyed with the idea of a Sea Doo though.

The only real place to snowmobile is in the mountains here in Alberta but the avalanche threat deters me. Every winter snowmobilers die in sudden avalanches set off by the noise from the machines.

I am more pissed that they are taking food off the Bombers plate with potential ticket sales.

I know a lot goes into scheduling but it irritates me.

Easy...your blood pressure

It does suck, I agree, but for me if I was living in Manitoba still it would an easy choice for me, Bombers all the way.  Not even close.

Sounds like a waste of PVR space

I only say that because they've lost 3 in a row... that last one was exciting though.

It looks like Scheifele is going to sat out due to a positive COVID test. We're probably gonna see if this iteration has grit or if they will sleepwalk through another game. The last game was not exciting- it was infuriating and frustrating to watch them blow a two goal lead with six minutes to go. Hellebuyck has not been sharp.

With yoshi and neuf not practicing I sure would love it if tait or some one would comment on who is taking first team reps at RT and maybe even how they are doing. 

[Noeller]

I assume Gray would draw in at RT, but then who's the 6th OL? Our depth really being tested....

[rebusrankin]

That is concerning on the OL. I'd assume Gray in and one of our PR I OTs for the 6th OL spot.

It was definitely exciting until those final couple of minutes. Then...yes. Infuriating. 

[M.O.A.B.]

Looks like Lowes will get into the lineup and Rocquemore will come out. Per CFL.ca transaction page. 

[Noeller]

Interesting... Looks like Neufeld will play. Probably just needed the week to rehab. Hopefully doesn't get turnstiled as badly this week.

He will play. He practiced Tue and Wed.

Only chance he doesn't get crushed is if we help him. And given that buck didn't do any thing to help him last week I'm not holding my breath. Saving that for collaros health.

Nah....snowmobiles have awesome suspension nowadays and groomed trails really save your back. I had an 08 Seadoo and it was a backbreaker...but I am upgrading this year and buying my buddy's FishPro. I drove it last year and it has built in suspension on the seat. Night and day. I have a pontoon on my home lake but it's nice to have an easy load, trailer. tow unit for when I want to go to other lakes. Not sure about travelling in avalanche country though....that would likely make me nervous too.

100 percent thr seadoo is much harder on the back. As long as your knees and legs are good. I quit riding bikes quads sleds etc for a few years due to back issues. I found the sled was easier on the back than quads and jetskis. I do a lot of ditch banging too.

I'll assume Hardrick is the scratch come game day. Hope the OL holds up.

Could be a game time decision.

if that was a likely case I think he'd be listed as the starter vs backing up neuf.
