AND then says that the CFL would be an unfortunate detour.....Some of these guys are so full of.....themselves....Great to have self confidence but I wish they would think before coming out with some of these gems

And apparently I had been misled, CMT and E! Canada are still standing (either someone lied on Wiki or Bell and Corus changed their minds)

F’ing Kaprizov. That was such an over pay and by waiting, 81 got couple more mill/yr out of it. I don’t believe in full rebuild + I don’t think this city can handle 5-7 years of bottom feeding.

I don’t think those contracts would be considered ‘big’ the way numbers are now trending.

February 6th to February 22nd Let's hope all the venue's are ready by then Team Canada's Roster for Hockey has been announced, still waiting for everyone else

That tee shirt was from the Eastern Division Semi Final game played at Winnipeg Stadium on November 13, 1998. The Bombers won 35-28. Attendance was an embarrassment & a shock as crowds at Winnipeg Stadium in 1988 was fairly solid. all season long. Hence, the idea for a tee shirt commemorating that game. The Bombers got on a roll behind qb Sean Salisbury in the playoffs & beat the Argos 27-11 the next week in the Eastern Final at CNE Stadium on November 20th. Then they wrapped up the Trifecta on November 27th by defeating the heavily favoured BC Lions by a score of 22-21. in the Grey Cup at Lansdowne Park which featured DT MIchael Gray deflection of a Matt Dunigan pass to an open receiver in the end zone. Not only did he deflect the pass up in the air but he caught it on the way down at the goalline to preserve the Bomber win & the Grey Cup Championship. I'll never forget that play. The story goes that the Bombers supposedly sold over 50,000 of those tee shirts. I don't know if that was true or not. There were fans that bought that tee shirt who never attended the game while claiming they did to join the Grey Cup bandwagon. I can't confirm that number to be true or not but a lot of people did buy that tee shirt. It seemed everyone was wearing them & was probably a hot ticket item for Christmas that year. I was there along with my wife as we were STH's in Sec V, row 29 & seats 12 & 13 at the old barn on Maroons Road. I never got a tee shirt, though. Michael Gray: Grey Cup hero.

Yeah, but if there's a full blown rebuild then having older players with big contracts is like an albatross around a team's neck. .

Sorry guys, you signed these here 8 year contracts 😅

How long until Bettman and company try to give this franchise back to Atlanta?

So I got a belated holiday present from a friend.... One of those "I Was One Of The 12,321" shirts from that infamous playoff game. Question for the octogenarians around here... What year was that? I would have been really young at the time... I'm thinking it was around '84 right? Anyhow, got that along with a copy of Vince Leah's Blue Bombers History book from 1979. Looking forward to diving into that...

Well, it’s been a half season of poor results and falling in the standings…. It’s not like they’re 2 years deep or something. But that has to be a concern, among other concerns of a team trying to gain some kind of traction.

How long until Hellebuyck & Scheifle want out?

hope he doesn’t get hyped into kid canada 2.0 territory

Getting a decent 2nd line? But the Jets likely won’t be buyers at this point. I’ve said it before, but I’d give Barron a shot at center on the 2nd line…. With Perfetti and Iafallo or Vilardi, if they want to mess with the 1st again.

At minimum, we should be tied with Edmonton. At most we should be second with 15. I won't get into why we're not. But hey, our coach is a nice guy. Everybody says it.

What’s number 1?

Sure, he fanned and it caused a turnover, but we put the puck in our own net. I don’t think you can lay all the blame on DeMelo. He wouldn’t even make my top 10 of the Jets problems.

I only care about the Bombers. Therefore, no desire or want to see Elgersma make it. Once he signs a new contract with us, I'll start caring.

The Jets play tonight is horrific, ghastly, and dreadful. At least we know they aren’t trying to tank, they’re just that bad 😕 If Chevy is still our GM next season you will probably be very used to it by then.

Demelo gives the puck away, immediately gets it back. Then fans on the pass. Detroit goes in for a 2 on 1 and scores. He's been all kinds of terrible this season. And he's seems, to only be getting worse.

I heard he crushed the football tire toss game at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Yep, I think it's time to start the firesale. Problem is we have no assets outside of Barron and I think he's a good fit for a third line. We need to somehow get another first rounder and a second rounder for this draft. So glad that the world juniors are on and the Olympic hockey will be coming shortly. I'm so sick of watching this team lose. And for the love of God Chevy do something already.

I’m cheering for Elgersma to succeed but man, 3DN sure loves to glaze him and pump his tires. Bragging about the touchdown he threw in … the Packers Family Night Scrimmage? Come on. What’s next, are they going to start applauding the ball he tossed into the crowd that a fan didn’t have to fully extend their arms to reach out and catch?

Hockey canada should have been shut down 2 1/2 yeras ago after the sex scandals that went on & hazings. They tried to cover up all of that. Disgraceful & disgusting.
