TOO bloody close for comfort....one and a half seconds left in our season and Perfetti nailed it down to send it in to overtime....WOW....He's really close to Schief, and what a fitting way to keep the club in it and carry the can for his injured buddy...Stars up next ....I hope they can stay up late....what lousy start times BUT we've already done some heavy lifting, so we should be able to take that in stride...GOJETS

I know of a certain someone with loads of money, interest in owning a football league, and free time that can fund this....

The CFL hasn't the money to sponsor a flag football league for kids. Let alone a development league for first & second year players. How would the league get the money for something like this? The start up costs even for something as simple as this would still be very, very high. The Bombers made 7 million & they're fine. They could afford it but probably aren't interested. The Stamps & Elks lost tens of millions between them. The Stamps owner won't even spring for an enclosed practice field or decent workout facilities for his players. The Stamps never had hot food last year for the players. Edwards is a cheap bastard. He won't finance anything. Can't comment on the Elks with new ownership. Riders losing money or slightly breaking even. They've lost 10,000 season ticket holders since Covid. I'd think they're not interested. I can't see MLSE want to be a part of this. The Als are running on a fine line to profitability. A badly attended game of less than 18,000 might break that profitability. Can't see them want to get involved. Hamilton is fine. Ottawa maybe. They both could probably have the money to do it along with Winnipeg. However, collectively as a league, I don't believe the BOG's would approve it. There is no will to do this.

Nothing other than its Weds-Fri. Sat medicals. Sunday main camp opens..but haven't seen times. I can't ******* wait... I haven't been home in awhile so I took Friday/Monday off to make a long weekend and I'll definitely be checking out some mini camp Friday and main camp Monday.

Working with that nutbar Roy Shivers & making everything he did as a GM about race.

Second round pick Smith signed now https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/05/02/1st-10-it-seemed-like-it-could-be-a-good-fit-and-im-super-excited-they-picked-me/

Has anybody seen a rookie camp schedule yet?

That would suggest the head coach (some/all coaching staff) may be next.

Ya I read last night that he said "what a ******* series..." as shown above in the clip...

Hmmm I thought he said, that's Doctor Monty to you. :-)

After Monty and Arniel embraced I am pretty sure Monty told him "Now, go win it all!" (At least that's what mt meagre lip reading skills read).

Think of the baseball league the Goldeyes play in. Would be like that. Pay guys $750-$1000 per game for 6 games. The real draw is the ability to get film and for the teams to get a better look at guys who are those 5th-8th round picks, undrafted. Keep them active so there is a pool of guys ready to go. Also coach development. If they played early enough could even get some coaches out who are working with U Sports programs. Probably $3-$4 million a year to run the whole thing. Use it to engage some markets that aren't close to CFL teams. Partner with U Sports for facilities (keep in mind for Atlantic there's club football and nice facilities for that too Halifax, Fredericton, Moncton).

this is a great idea... but it sounds expensive... CFL isn't exactly flush with cash

I came out of that series really hating St. Louis now for some reason. Oh yeah, because they deliberately went after our star players, and not in a clean way. Dirty bastages. Hope we settle some scores next season when we play them like we did in 2019 in our first game of the season against Nashville. Anyway, moving on, I'm definitely glad I had that defibrillator installed in my basement thanks to the Bombers, it came in handy last night for sure. So, on to Dallas. Time to build on this momentum and get some healthy bodies back in the line up.

1st in central vs 2nd. This is how it should be. gonna be a series. Think our boys pull it off. They just have that kinda LA Kings when they first won the cup feel a few years ago now. First of a couple in a row for LA. Kinda down but not out. Helle struggled, so did the D tho, Helle stepped up and we won on a tip from the point. It’s just destiny. It’s our turn. Winnipeg vs Edmonton would be fun Winnipeg vs Vegas would be sweet revenge. Dallas vs Edmonton ? Who care Dallas vs Vegas? Prob what nhl wants.

Heiskanen and Robertson be out still for Dallas. I think. Unless both are healed but I think only heiskanen is close. this may come down to jets exposing the kinda weak RHD of the stars.

The extent of injuries going forward will determine the Jets fate in this next round...

I think if you’re a fan of teams who aren’t in the playoffs and you ain’t cheering for the Jets to win it all, something is wrong. Helle tough series but after goal 3 looked like himself actually. Gabe out first 4. Ehlers out first 5. Scheifele out game 7. Josh hurt early game 7. And we win and the only original guy with a letter on his chest wins it. It’s kind of Cinderella ish here. Team of destiny.

I am more confident facing the Stars than the Avs, to be honest.

That settles it. The HU should play halftime at GC.

FIFY. 😁 Games like last night are why I love sports. Threads like this are why I hate sports fans Now I am picking on @captaincanuck12 but I will say to your credit you have been here all year, win or lose, and even if you have thrown in the towel the odd time you speak as a fan who wears their heart on their sleeve and will always come back with hope for the next game. Your negativity is borne of frustration in the moment, but you don’t quit on this team in the big picture. You are good to have around and are ultimately a loyal supporter, no doubt. What drives me nuts are those “fans” who were silent all year when this team marched to the President’s Trophy, and then crawled out of the woodwork after game 4 to remind how lousy this team has always been when the chips are down, how Hellebuyck is a fraud, how Cheveldayoff must be fired, etc. and then constantly disappear and are quiet when the team wins and proves them wrong for the 60th time this year, just waiting for their next chance to say “see I told you they suck” at the next moment of adversity. It’s beyond feeling upset and negative in the moment, it’s like they can’t be happy unless they get to feel validated moaning and bitching about how useless the team is. I will never get those who seem to want to be perpetually angry and prefer to tell everyone “I told you so” if the team doesn’t win it all, which given the pure mathematical stats of it is about as safe a bet as you can make (31 out of 32 teams fail every year). The old adage is true - “sports is not there to make you happy, sports is there for you to be miserable in a large group”. I just don’t get the appeal of watching and acting like you hope they lose so that you have the opportunity to complain about how lousy they perpetually are and validate your negativity to the public at large. Why watch at all? Tough way to go through life. Now, the Jets may crash and burn in 4 straight next series, and it won’t change what’s great season this has been, how hard they have worked, and what entertainment they have brought us all year. Their achievement should be celebrated, not maligned. Rant over. See you in Round 2. P.S. It was never in doubt, says this Jets fan. 😉

Well. We have learned what the tsn headline will be when the Jets break the curse. It will be… Winnipeg Jets 2025 Stanley cup champions but they were 1.6 seconds away from being eliminated Really tho. Go out and Beat Dallas now.
