Matt Sheridan wishing your mother a Happy Easter.

Agudosi as well....was kept around all yr and brought back for a reason...if the hashes are moved and while field is being used who wouldn't want a big strong 6'6" guy out on the outside?

Between Saunders, Blake Jackson, Lucky Jackson, Antonio Nunn, Dalton Schoen and TJ Simmons, I feel like we get at least one really good wr.

Wish Buck well in his fight against cancer.

I guess I equate “problem in the room” differently. Throwing a player’s tracksuit in the shower, that’s a problem in the room. Ehlers’ criticism is that players are passing up basic shots to make the pretty play, or not playing straight line hockey, and as he says it’s team-wide, not just one or two guys. And then he himself was guilty of it on a power play, passing up a slot shot to pass down to Connor on the goal line. But the suggestion seems to be that Wheeler and Scheifele get to dictate the line combos and run the team. Maybe it’s just that they have produced well enough together to be our best two players the last 5 years, and adding Connor made Connor an elite scorer in the past few years. In the end, the whole “problem in the locker room” angle seems to suggest that the issue is culture and not personnel. Well to me to harsh truth is that this team does not have the talent to compete right now. Wheeler still can make passes with the best of them, but his body is breaking down and he should be more of a Joe Thornton 2nd line guy by now. Dubois looks like a good power forward but still takes too many penalties. Scheifele is still playing the old “transition off the rush” system that worked when the team had a mobile, puck moving defence, but he has not adapted to the changing personnel around him or other teams’s adjustments. And there is definitely something not right between the ears since he got suspended. Ehlers is still brilliant at zone entry, but again is somewhat injury prone. And Connor is a sniper who still has the same defensive deficiencies. And that’s about it. Stastny has probably over-achieved, but I don’t think he is reliable for 20+ goals again. Copp was a good third liner who they needed to play top line, which speaks to a depth problem. And Lowry is being overpaid if he is a 4th liner, and playing above his head and underproducing for a what a 2nd or 3rd liner should be. The only blue chipper in the pipeline right now is Perfetti, and he is a few years away from being top-line ready. And the defence was not fixed with the trades. Morrissey is not an elite number 1 d-man and I don’t really think anyone else right now is better than a second or third pairing guy. Sanberg may be a second pair guy next year, and I think Heinola is still a ways off, especially with his lack of size. This team wants to play the way they did 4 years ago, but they don’t have the personnel to play the same way. At this point none of their bottom 6 are “must keep”. Maybe a wholesale coaching change and a new defensive philosophy are needed until they can re-stock their cupboards after sacrificing a few picks to keep the playoff window open. Unless Barry Trotz shakes free, maybe a Ken Hitchcock type.

Was in the same graduating class as my father.

and what if it turns out neither of them are the problem?

Please elaborate. You have said this again and again, along with Maurice saying he doesn’t coach your favorite pariahs, but do you have any hard evidence or just internet rumours? And a player taking a bad penalty or not back-checking or missing his assignment does not always equate to a “problem in the room”.

Casey got his degree in medicine from the University of Manitoba. He attended classes & studied while playing for the Bombers. He interned in Winnipeg & London, England before settling in Connecticut where he practiced medicine the rest of his career.

One of my favourite Blue Bomber player. Middle Linebacker Phil Minnick #54 chasing down Ti Cats Halfback D i c k Cohee during the 1965 Grey Cup. A bad knee injury early in the 1970 season required Minnick to miss nearly two full seasons as well as having played on some very bad football teams after this Grey Cup appearance prevented Minnick from being mentioned as one of the CFL Elites at the middle linebacker position. Had he stayed healthy & played on competitive Bomber teams, I believe he'd have been mentioned with players of his era like Jerry "Soupy" Campbell, Mark Kosmos, Don Bahnuik, Ray Nettles & Wayne Harris.

I seem to remember Coach Lowry talking when he took over about getting more pucks to the net. How’s that working out?

Couple shots would be a start For what? Perry gets under the skin of ppl and they lose their crap. Hes essentially a pro troll. Nothing he's done has been that awful tho. Jets are self destructing Jets just look lost. Obviously they have given up. Man 2 man D tho is killing this team every game

Nice to see the ref call a retaliation penalty to even it up. The hit was late but not dirty, players need to not be so sucky when they get hit hard and turn everything into a scrum to “defend the code”. They sure take their sweet time announcing goals in the building in Tampa.

Same last name as Jon Bon Jovi

Rookie has 1 tough game where everyone sucks, he's out. Vet struggles all year, he's promoted Accountability is a huuuge problem

Waiting for changes in the CBA. If we get 2018 Jalen it's a big signing. I am not overly optimistic but i am hopeful.

Pretty cool pic of Jack Jacobs and Tom Casey. Notice how the equipment trunk says Winnipeg Rugby Football Club. Many moons ago! Some interesting facts about Tom Casey. He was the first african american player to be voted into the CFL hall of fame, and he was actually a licensed practising doctor. A profession which he worked in after football.

My dog got into my wallet and ate a $20 bill. We have taken him to the vet, they are monitoring him and report his condition as serious. No change is expected.

Spinal and joint injuries are the most problematic in rehab, so we will see. Presumably, the Bombers will have checked this out. Edit: after the MVA, he was on a respirator. That is serious stuff, so I hope the Bombers take all necessary care with him- football is for only a while but life does go on afterwards.

My dog swallowed a whole bag of Scrabble tiles. We took him to the vet to get him checked out. No word yet…

The only thing I'm worried about is losing Kongbo, Dejarlais and Eli and then Dobson going to the USFL. We have taken a hit on our Canadian depth.

Pour les lulz...

^ this! People illegally parked in front of ledge for weeks and there was insufficient evidence to tow them.

Wish I was retired would be fun watching the 30 DBs and Wr competes for 3 for jobs.
