I don’t think it’s too ridiculous to expect that a signing bonus be returned if a player can’t even be bothered to ever report to the team. that being said, rules are rules and this will be a major sticking point come next fall when the PA will no doubt not be thrilled with the fallout this caused. Durant may have helped himself but he just effed many others.

Monday, CBC, Sportsnet, NBCSN at 7:00 p.m. Tagline: "Sin City vs. River City" Storyline: After a quick start and workmanlike performance in a Game 1 win, the Jets look to continue feeding off of the whiteout and take a 2-0 lead into T-Mobile, as the rest of the NHL and the American media start to take notice of the whiteout pandemonium and the top team still remaining in the playoffs. Quote: “They're like a pack of wolves the way they keep coming at you" - Ken Hitchcock on the Jets Quote #2: “Who are these guys?" - Paul Newman and Robert Redford repeatedly in "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" Fun facts: Marc-Andre Fleury only gave up 3 first period goals in his first 10 playoff games this year before giving up 3 against the Jets on Saturday.......the Jets playoff opponents so far had 101, 117, and 109 points in the regular season for a total of 327, the second highest total in NHL history for the first 3 rounds (LA in 2014 faced San Jose, Anaheim and Chicago and their total of 334 points....Saturday's appearance on NBC was the first time ever the Jets appeared on American network TV....the decibel meter in Bell-MTS Centre hit 112.4 on Thursday night at the viewing party as the Jets wrapped up their series against Nashville, with only about 7,000 fans in the building.....Winnipeg and Vegas are the first two rookie participants in the Western Conference Final since Anaheim and Minnesota in 2003.....with 8 years of combined residency in their respective cities, this is the youngest franchise match-up in the playoffs since Colorado (1st year) and Florida (2nd year) met in the 1996 Stanley Cup Finals....this is the first time either team has trailed in a playoff series this year.

See. We arent slow like LA and SJ.

Durant **** talking the Bombers on Twitter is just compounding the situation and how he will be remembered. What a disgrace to professional athletes and hard-working people everywhere.

just message him and say “thank you for retiring as a Bomber” 😜

That’s because he is a zombie

Trouba's bodycheck in the third period was a classic. Didn't realize how solid he is. Every guy on the team played really well.

Yeah I agree in general, it is worth doing the due diligence. But damn we are in a tough spot right now. God forbid Nichols gets injured because even Gale or LeFeveour are going to be in tough to win us games. This is where the scouting staff really needs to pull through with a home run... I'm hoping Streveler can be that guy.

They might not win a game. Seriously? This is ban worthy

Its hard for HNIC to be postive because its the Winnipeg Jets and they've ignored us all year.

Based on quality scoring chances, game one could have been about 8-2.

Fast enough for you, Floyd?

9 down 7 to go.

How dare he go to a hockey game

Germany ignores Trump/USA starts building gas pipeline to connect with Russian natural gas. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/Germany-Moves-Forward-With-Controversial-Nord-Stream-Two.html US is losing quickly losing leverage/influence in international matters. If the Europeans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, can patch together a way to keep the Iran nuclear agreement in place, i think it's a significant event. China, the no 1 customer for Iranian oil announced no intention of not continuing to buy Iran's oil. Withdraw from Paris climate agreement, the TPP, threaten to leave NAFTA, leave the Iranian agreement. (12 years in the making), throw up arbitrary, ill planned tariffs. There are consequences to these actions.

He isnt in that category. he dressed for 4 games and completed 5 passes. Kilgore only played a few more games but atleast started etc. Mitchell gale made it through 4 years. The difference between 3 tcs, holding the clip board for 3-4 years is pretty big and being around for part of a year is pretty big. Cato, played in 22 games went 296/432 (69%) 3570 yards 17 tds 11 ints and ran for 319. I dont particularly want either kilgore or gale short of a serious long term qb injury to 2 guys. Even then Id rather kick the tires around the league on some one with a pulse. Cato just slipped out of football. Sat last year. Hes the best of a bleak crop of whats available right now. We can never under estimate the stupid of the reed lead als. His best time was a mid 4.4 but that pretty much wraps up his speed. He has wr / borderline wr speed, fantastic leaping ability, in a big strong frame. He is exactly the type of guy you dream of as a 3rd stringer, short yardage qb and holder. He also has the kind of raw talent in his arm to make you dream of warren moon. If we close camp with nichols, ross, and streveler as our active qbs its not an issue imop. As long as both ross and streveler show well in camp and progress.

I think Streveler could run a mean short yardage unit. He’s big and he’s runs a 4.5 40...

Montreal has done stupider stuff than that.

For everyone talking about signing re-treads like Kilgore or Gale... the Bombers signed Alex Ross - he was essentially the best 'Cfl experienced' QB still out there, we don't need another one

Just get rid of the ticket thing. Heres anothet story. Only 15,000 out last night.

In what universe are you taking Enstrom over Myers? Holy cow. I agree, he could use his size more ,but hes a better option any day over Entrom.

The signing bonus is put in to protect players from being brought into training camp as competition or a camp arm only. It is a commitment from the club to the player that we want you on the team and here is salary up front to prove that. Players complaining about being cut prior to being paid a bonus should ask if they prefer no bonus and get cut later in the season with no chance to sign with another team. The only way around that is guaranteed contracts. Don't like what Durant did here and don't like how he is handling this on Twitter now. Really makes me wonder if this wasn't his plan all along.

Yeah, I guess I’m thinking more of something like the James Wilder situation. Durant is a lousy reference point.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I think players need better protection and would like to move towards a certain guarantee on each agreement but Durant retired. I think the team should be provided some protection on bonuses over paying a player who retires.

Perhaps Montreal cuts Drew and we swoop in.

He definitely understands the current approach to goaltending.

Laine parked in his office.

For the most part (sans reference to the leafs) I actually enjoy their analysis of the game, especially Kelly Hrudey. He knows the game well regardless of era.

maybe next season will be the last, it has kind of ran it's course and the fact that CBS cannot find a place on the schedule is a sign that maybe it should end http://tvline.com/2018/05/13/lethal-weapon-seann-william-scott-recast-season-3-riggs-clayne-crawford/ http://tvline.com/2018/05/13/gotham-renewed-final-season-5-fox/

I found a pretty good interview of Chris Streveler online though some of you might enjoy learning more about his and his character.

If God forbid Nichols gets hurt in any significant way then we just pay the premium to get Glenn out of Edmonton or something.

We need to take this opportunity and actually find and develop a qb. But I like a vet for 3rd string. Give the 2nd string reps to someone with upside.

Some guys stay in shape. Just saying we should check into it. He will have plenty of time to get in shape as the scout team guy. I want that rookie from SD to be the backup

I may have a run of these types of quotes in the game previews as the world discovers just how good the Jets are this year.

Both WPG and VGK can roll 4 lines and 3 d pairings comfortably but the Jets are loaded with superstar talent - Scheifele, Buff, Wheeler, Laine. That's going to be the difference. Both coaches have their teams buying in 100% but VGK just doesn't have that edge in high end talent.

Lol grow up kid. Jesus...

I like every player on this team. They are just so damn talented.

That was a great hit by Trouba. Followed by a good block.

Hull is a POS but... Hes a Winnipeg hockey legend POS. And like it or not without Hull there is no Winnipeg Jets.. Terrible person tho.

Do you mean Durant gets in the HoF? I don't think so.

The best option would be to see what we’ve got in training camp and perhaps look at some cuts from other teams if the guys we have can’t perform.

Is he trying to make himself look like an even bigger pile of trash than he already is?

Every IT person must be watching Silicon Valley.... the show is absolutely hilarious.

Wouldn't be the worst idea.

the best part about this win is, they don't get to sweep us
