The year Glenn broke his arm before we got to the GC .... Glenn till then was a wild card ..... Lapo taught him the quick short game which stuck with Glenn forever after ... not that he became a superstar but he was a serviceable QB after that season
LaPolice wasn't with the Bombers at any point during Glenn's first tenure. Glenn was a MOP nomination in 2007, BTW. Kit Cartwright was the OC that season.
Until last season, LaPolice and Glenn had never worked together.

Presumptuous meme is presumptuous. Nobody loves Hutchinson. Frankly, the Jets could do better than either him or Pickard.
The Jets need to address their goalie situation this year, anyway. Not a year from now.

To play for the Jets...?

The IIHF needs to eliminate the shootout from elimination games. It's such an anticlimactic to decide a game, especially when there's a medal on line.

He's a veteran as he received a paycheque all the while. He just hasn't played much. This is his second year in LaPo's system so he knows it.
Well, the team isn't giving up on him, so I'll go with their assessment over a disgruntled and impatient fan's on a forum.

What's the difference? Injuries significantly affected those guys too yet fans were calling for their heads so I don't understand the difference.
What's not to understand? Pierce and Neufeld were both known commodities before injuries hampered their careers. The same can't be said for Richards - there isn't even a sample size.

Yet it is done everyday. Veterans get released because of injury issues. Players at TC get released because they were injured & couldn't perform. All I'm saying is that if he doesn't show enough this training camp then it is time to move on. It's not unreasonable to say he needs to contribute. Put him on specials & let him earn his way to a starting or backup receiver position like everyone else.
Except Richards, for all intents and purposes, isn't a veteran. A veteran player has actual in-game experience under his belt.
And I think the coaches on the team know what's best for him. Saying he needs to be put on ST at camp to earn a spot on the roster isn't reasonable. And for the record, when he has been able to play, he has been a backup receiver.

Well, injuries are part of the game. Look at all the criticism Buck Pierce & Patrick Neufeld took from fans when they couldn't stay healthy.
Difficult to compare Richards to two actual veterans who had significant playing time under their belts before getting injured.

If he can't play specials then he's taking up a roster spot. He can't contribute if he doesn't even get on the field. What you're asking is for the Bombers to hold onto him to prove they didn't make a mistake. I don't agree with it if they do as he doesn't deserve to be here. Other Canadian players are fighting for a roster spot & sacrificing themselves on specials to prove they belong. He isn't.
Kinda hard to prove oneself when he has been ravaged by injuries since being drafted. Had Richards been playing and not showing anything, then you'd have a point.

Oh **** I was thinking they'd win if they played worse! You really opened my eyes
Solid job ignoring the rest of my comment and resorting to needless derision. Well done!

Writing off the Pens so soon? I'd bet dollars to donuts they win tonight.
Well, if they play better than Wednesday, maybe. But is a goalie change going to make a difference? The Penguins' lack of speed seemed to hinder them more than anything in game 3.

The Jets don't spend anywhere close to the cap, which makes them a budget team. TNSE being careful or conservative with regard to its expenditures is a different conversation but certainly can be related to their being a budget team at the present time. It makes more sense than being reckless, lest they end up like the Islanders.
Budget team doesn't necessarily carry a negative connotation, anyway. At the current stage of the team's progress, I think it's just part of the equation until their prospects round out the roster more completely.

'hard to anticipate'...would have been better...........Denny just has a knack to get open....a lot like Dressler..very deceptive
The two are agile and incredibly quick. Makes 'em so fun to watch, IMO. Even more so with Dressler now that he's no longer in the ugliest colour in the CFL.

And into today over here. Still can't believe he's gone. Just terrible.

Starting Murray seems a bit like a desperation move and a gamble on Sullivan's part. I can't see a goalie change making a difference. The Penguins were pretty bad in their own end for most of game 3, anyway.

You can put whatever you want on the table but if the agent has said he isn't going to listen to it or take it back to his client, then what?
Then nothing - obviously. It was clear back then no offer was going to be entertained by Trouba's camp.
-
Just now, Rich said:
The agent refused to accept any offers and demanded a trade.
But regardless of that, wasn't it rumoured the Jets had an offer on the table? Something long-term?

Jets were not allowed to make an offer. That was confirmed by both sides.
Not allowed...? How were they not allowed to offer a contract extension to one of their own players?

It was about damn time the organization try a different approach, instead of the typical give-in-to-pressure kneejerk nonsense.
Stability is key to build a strong team and brand. Last season was proof of that, IMO.
