I think that this is the most powerful reason to like what Walters did.

Out of the two posts Mike’s was less nasty.

More facts - to ruin a perfectly good argument and trample all over peoples’ cherished beliefs ?

Well Walters has a better track record in terms of Canadian drafting compared to the GMs since 2009. ?

Saturday, CBC, MSNBC at 8:30 p.m. Tagline: "Jack Daniels vs. Crown Royal" Storyline: The series returns to Smashville all tied at 2, after the Predators's trap game shuts down the Jets' offence. Quote: “No one said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it" - Anonymous (Why would someone not take credit for that quote? It's awesome.) Quote #2: “Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it" - James Lane Allen, American novelist Fun fact: Nashville is still 0-8 when losing the first game of a series. teams winning game 5 of a series win the series 72.8% of the time.

Jets will rally for a win tonight. Hellebucyk plays his best game yet.

It's a ton of pressure, and probably totally unfair of me, but I've been wondering what Simonise and crew have to do to get out of the massive shadow left by the legacy of Adam Bestard, Peter Quinney, Mike Morris and THE REAL #44 Thaine Carter. Play a game for the Bombers? Oh. So it turns out the answer is anything more than absolutely nothing.

So discard the fact he fought back, ran away and had to be subdued gotcha. *finger guns*

Would you rather have a guy with the upside of Wolitarsky or Simonise playing that 5th spot or a Ryan Lankford or Ladamian Washington?

It feels nostalgic reading posts blaming Maurice for losses again. Wade Flaherty probably had something to do with it too.

Bowman is a good example for Simonise to follow. Bowman had to learn that just using his physical gifts aren't enough & that he still had to put in work to be successful. Hopefully he's able to pass that on to Simonise.

Riders pick next. Prediction: It's going to be great !

Won't be surprised at any outcome, these teams are so evenly matched. Hope it's more firewagon hockey like we had in Games 2-3 and not the Red Rover trapfest we saw in Game 4.

PoAsted in wrong thread a minute ago. My sense is that this will be a Jets win. Someone will rally the team, might be laine, or Connor, or Stastny, or Ehlers. Too much firepower.

sounds like McCain is planning his funeral http://www.tmz.com/2018/05/05/john-mccain-funeral-donald-trump-mike-pence/ basically the jist of this article is that Trump isn't invited but Pence is

Translation - I am a criminal and more then likely will not be able to enter the country and may be busy in jail lol.

Even more excited to see Simonise compete now. I don't care what Mike Kelly says, our Canadian depth coming into the draft was strong. I'll also be curios to see how long Geoff Grey lasts in Cleveland.

Logan Stanley named co-winner as his team's MVP for the playoffs. Have to say this has been a positive year for him in his development so good for him to get some recognition. Will be interesting to see whether that continues with the Moose next year. http://www.570news.com/2018/05/04/logan-stanley-mario-culina-share-playoff-mvp-kitchener-rangers/

Obvious troll is painfully obvious

Stefan LeFors left arm was crucial to winning that East Final.

Some things never change here.

Why do you go after people here so much? Everyone is entitled to an opinion even if you disagree. If you don't like what someone said, you just get nasty. You definitely play favourites here it's so obvious. To you, it's all about talking down to, belittling & snide remarks to members you don't like. You don't even attempt to hide your disdain for certain people here anymore. Why don't you just perma ban everyone on your **** List & be done with it?

Thank you for your opinion.

If in fact there were better offensive lineman available at the number 7 spot than Walters predicted the nice thing about this is they didn’t give away their pick. It should result in a top 3 pick next year from BC. Secondly without this trade there’s a good chance Simonise would not have been on he board when our 2nd round pick came around. The trade to me really hinges on how good spooner and the developmental guy from last year are. If they are legit future starters than it was a good trade because we are going to have trouble protecting all these guys. Especially if Gray joins the team later this year.

It sounds like Mr. Finch forgot to read his textbook prior to his textbook arrest.

I'll take a ratio breaking tall canuck over a meh tall american any day of the week.

Its May 4th and we haven't won a game yet in 2018. It is clearly time to talk regime change!

Why does Paul Wiecek write about hockey? I just read his latest article on this past game and, I've said this before, it seems he writes like he thinks he is being clever and yes some of his points are valid, but I sure do not enjoy his writing style. There's writing realistic and there's writing like a Debbie or Dougie Downer. I find him the latter. My opinion and that's all this is.

A couple of years ago our Canadian receiver talent consisted of Kohlert and JFG. Those guys brought their lunch pails every day and gave us everything they had, but the upside was not super high. I have no issues with the resources we are throwing at improving our Canadian receiving depth, especially given the league-wide success rate of draft picks at that position.

Young players like Simonise are very impressionable ...When you make the 'right' impression on a player and it sticks, we could really have something...I hope it works out for Simonise and us and we end up with a star receiver that will have the other gm's in this league wondering...'what the hell were we thinking'

I thought Wolitarsky was going to win the starting wr job in camp before Coates got injured.

Love how you’re always trying to get creative here but I really doubt we’re going to be seeing LaFrance as a receiver. Sometimes the simple solution is the right one. We’ll be starting one of Wolitarsky, Simonise or Petermann.

That point is also interesting as I was watching Jon Cooper's post game interview for the Lightning the other night make the point of how difficult it is for his players to get themselves up for each game of the playoffs. Intuitively I thought this would be the opposite where this high and getting energized would naturally happen but when I think about it that point makes sense and maybe (some of) the Jet players weren't ready to play last night.

3 OL, 3 WR and a DB. Beefing up the depth behind our Canadian starters.

I'm telling you, since Hodge has gone to 3rdown. He tries to mask his homerism for the bombers by making odd arguments against some of the moves they make.

I don't put any stock in a GM saying the team has no money to pay anybody else. What do you expect him to say? He cant publicly say the team has lots of room on the SMS and then tell every agent that there are no more cookies in the jar. He sees an opportunity to support publicly what he says privately and takes it.

They hate it because of the volatility and unpredictably- often they cannot tell who is doing what to whom and even who will launch themselves at the officers.

I don't think I've been too naughty & trying to be nice...

I just found out from the FP that Coates broke his foot while training prior to the draft. There is the big reason so many WRs were taken.

Ticats paid $70k in bonuses to Bomben before trading him.

Ed Tait@EdTaitWFC Kyle Walters announces that WR Matt Coates broke his foot in training recently and will be out a while. Part of why they used three picks on receivers in CFL Draft
