  1. Curling fans coming out of the closet.

    First off Ontario has 2 teams?!? Northern Ontario is not a province or territory!

    Next year i believe the Brier will have some spots reserved for the Grand Slam(?) leaders so maybe the Scotties should do same.

    When will Homan smile BTW?

    The shirt in question bore the image of a baseball bat and the message “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe” — a reference to a scene from the AMC zombie drama in which Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is deciding who in the protagonist group to kill.

    In the scene, Negan continues the phrase with, “Catch a tiger by his toe” — though, historically in the U.K. the rhyme has employed the N-word rather than the word “tiger.”

     

    The historical use caused shopper Ian Lucraft to complain after spotting the shirt at a branch of the U.K.’s Primark retail chain.

    “We were shocked when we came face to face with a new t-shirt with a racially explicit graphic and text,” Lucraft told the Warwick Courier. “It was fantastically offensive and I can only assume that no one in the process of ordering it knew what they were doing or were aware of its subliminal messages.”

    Someone wants their 15 minutes of fame. 

    i guess the counter-argument could be made that the Confederate flag means something different now but still has a reference to slave culture.

    Ah right.  So is that next summer he's UFA if the Jets dont sign him? 

    Poolman has yet to sign a contract and could become a free agent within 30 days of graduating in the spring, allowing every NHL team to potentially bid for his services - Mike McIntyre/WFP

    Not an upcoming movie, but one I watched again last night as it was on TV - Flight.  What a great film.

     

    Horrible ending I thought. The whole 'we got to get him doped up' just took a decent movie off the edge.

    Perhaps but I thought it was also about him playing with his brother this year down there?  Maybe 1 season with your bro is enough and he'll be ready to chase that NHL dream.

    I think you mean Poolman not Glover. Poolman's brother was in his first year of NCAA with him at UND.

    Poolman likely replaces Postma.

    EDIT: Forgot about Jack Glover who is 20 and playing his 3rd year of NCAA.  Wouldnt he potentially be turning pro next season?

    Poolman LHD, Postma RHD. Keep them on their natural sides IMHO.

    Again Poolman is essentially UFA with Jets having small window to sign him exclusively.

    If you're in your 3rd year of NCAA you're probably going 4 years. He must want to be educated.

    OK let's use your analogy.  You're going to lose 50 dollars tomorrow.  Does spending 50 dollars on a 50 dollar product today prevent you from losing 50 dollars tomorrow?  No, it doesn't.

    Who said Lowry is getting taken?  Besides, Lowry is UFA-eligible in 3 years, Perreault in 5.  Perreault can play top-6, Lowry will never be a top-6 player.  How is losing Lowry a waste of an asset but losing Perreault is not?

    Anyone can play top 6 on this team and play really bad and get near 20 goals. Ex. Stafford

    have to think Jets do a deal here 

    Kinda feel bad, it's me punkin Chevy.

    Oh, for sure. I bet Chevy is just trying to get maximum value.

    What would you do for a Klondike bar?

    Just expected to see Connor-Roslo developing chemistry... I don't care if Connor plays great with Cormier and Lipon

    Moose are losing anyway, give Lemieux ice time, see what he's got

    Howden and Glennie are just placeholders...

    Could share the Moose with Vegas. Would it really hurt to gut half the team outside of G?

  9. Just now, The Unknown Poster said:

    I agree.  But to expose him still requires the Jets to effectively tell him he isnt worth them protecting him or worth Vegas taking him.   And even if thats true, I dont see the Jets having that conversation with Toby.

    Or they give him something in return? Not picked? 3yr extension.
