@SpeedFlex27 are u headed to the game...hitting the Bomber tailgate?

I definitely would have given Ehlers that deal and maybe more, but he clearly wanted out. He believes he's a top line player and he apparently doesn't like the fishbowl. Whatever... As mentioned, he seemed like a nice kid, but he was never healthy for a full year. I'm not heartbroken over this.

Fwiw, some light rain on our way in to the city right now, but supposed to clear off as the evening progresses. Not expecting the monsoon the Stamps has a couple weeks ago...

I’m sure Maurice and Florida are just shaking in their skates knowing they gotta go through Ehlers and the tiny canes again. lol.

Why would they pay a 60 point player the same as a 90 point player? Do people pay attention? He wanted out. Nothing was keeping him unless you guaranteed him top line minutes and paid him as much as our actual stars. There’s so much bs today like ppl saying he was the best player In the playoffs. Yeah 3 even strength points in 8 games is just rock star. Jesus. Ppl need to stop pretending Ehlers makes a difference for us or for Carolina. He doesn’t. We have 10 seasons of him underperforming when it matters most. Wish him well but stop pretending he’s worth the same price as Scheifele or Helle. Ppl go back to the tying goal against St. Louis and are like without Ehlers, it doesn’t happen. Really ? Cuz what happened 30 seconds prior? Or 15 seconds prior. He flubbed the puck out the zone then flubbed a one timer. 3 even strength points. Also took a dumb penalty. But ya 3 even strength points. If you paid attention it doesn’t hurt at all cuz all the rumors said he wasn’t coming back. He was never coming back. Jets knew it a week ago even. He wanted anonymity and top line minutes.

That’s really cool. Nice to know Calgary has put some effort into this promotion, I thought it was gonna be half assed at best.

Yup... Lots. Going to be interesting tonight. Headed in to Calgary in about 15 minutes. Wade and the team are hosting a Manitoba Ex Pats Tailgate party before hand, which should be fun.

Yeah. Their D is good especially in the front 6. And their ol/run game is really good. They, like us, missed the boat on the next wave of young QBs though. I think it’ll be another coaching change and a younger than dirt qb before they are front runners again. But that, could start to happen in the off season. I don’t think mace will get tons of leash.

That hurts cause you have to think the Jets were same amount over 7yrs.

The Stamps secondary has played well so far. VA is a solid QB. VA has Offensive Interference Rhymes to toss the ball too.

Brady O

Have you seen any promotion of the Stampede Bowl?

I definitely think the Stamps are better than the Riders... For the simple fact that VA is a better QB than Trevor Harris at this point. Now, having said that, Beggleton is a huge loss for them on offense. At any rate, it's the Bombers and then everyone else way down the list.

FYI. Rourke is good to start against the Als.

True about Canadian leadership (an oxymoron if I ever heard it). He’s basically going to the 2018 Jets, a highly skilled team with some flaws on D.

It's not like we have it so great up here right now for leaders either. I thought expressing your feelings was healthy...thanks Nik for all ya done, but I think it's good for you to move on. Carolina is a highly skilled team and you'll fit in well there.

The moose won’t be a dumpster fire again.

In the words of Al Davis, "Just Win, Baby!" That's all any of us really care about.

Me neither........

Thanks for the great memories Nikolaj, all the best in your future efforts, except against the Jets 😁. Well if your gonna be that way LOL 😂 Have fun with your new soft team, hurricanes (literally), and Trump as your President 😆

Apparently he’s gonna do the Marner message to the fans thing. Spare it really tho. Didn’t wanna be here so he can go **** himself.

It's not even extra dollars. Could have signed for something like 8 x $7.5m, which is more total $$ and been a Jet for life. Likely looking for a change but the grass isn't always greener.

8.5 to prob be on the 2nd line again. Ehlers with BrindAmour as coach is gonna be interesting. Plays the exact opposite style Rod coaches.
