Got that one right

Yeah. Just listened to the Ambrosie clip. I agree that his way of thinking about the purpose of the command centre is absolutely absurd. He’s saying that if you have to look at it in a slow motion to detect an error then it shouldn’t be called an error… what would be the point of a command centre if you cannot slow it down to find things that are missed calls? Esp calls that change the outcome of the game. I understand why the standard is “irrefutable“ (and “clear and obvious“ also works), but the idea that you shouldn’t be able to slow it down to get to that conclusion defeats the entire purpose of video replay! The way he is thinking about it leads to what just happened in this game. And it’s only possible impact will be to make people furious.

Thot he made a contribution on those quick outlet passes, got good first down yardage on a number of those

Esp since Zach is not lighting it up

Like the call. Bad spot bottom line. Closer than it should’ve been but he got there. Btwn that and the non-call PI, refs have huge impact on the outcome.

You know, not so much an excuse as it is an empty refrain. I mean, in a sense they’re right… If they stop fumbling the ball they win these games. It’s just it rings very hollow when it keeps happening over and over and over again. Demski in particular is mind blowing. I mean, just what would it take to convince you to thoroughly tuck the ball under your arm or even in both arms? How many times would you need to fumble in these dramatic ways before considering a change in your approach? Nic, we don’t need another three ******* yards, we need you to hang onto the ball!

I dunno, man. Missed 2 pressure kicks, end of half and again in OT. Not pro level. No excuses. huge contribution to the loss.

They better not get this call

Bighill. Big stop. Just sayin

Does the dude think he’s playing ******* flag football?!!!!!!!

Oh my ******* god, demski!

Kinda speechless. You know, u don’t wanna be that tinfoil hat guy about T.O. but really can’t explain that’s any other way.

Futility.

In Germany for the Euros. Hey, my son's a "football" (i.e. soccer) fan. So - being over here - unable to watch the game. Did just watch the recap. And the post-game presser with O'Shea. O'Shea. What can you say? Well, one thing would be when things are good, they're good, and - for four years - they've been really good. So when we're going like that we'll forgive all the oddities. But when things are bad, wow, they're bad. And when they're this bad he really shouldn't be chuckling at the start of his interview. And then several times after. I know his thing is to "protect the culture" and so never admit the gravity of your situation. But, as I say, that wears thin quick when you're 0-4. Also, could someone please tell me what the references to the pre-season/training camp are all about? What exactly was the issue there?

He said exactly this in the post game.

Couture wanted to go home to BC. At least that’s what someone told me… That’s his home province.

Can someone please update me on what happened in training camp? Like guys show up late?? In terms about of being concerned about first place, I think you may need to downgrade your expectations. I truly felt, even before the debacle of the last two weeks, that, as a lot of you have pointed out, the bombers have been resting on their laurels and getting old and slow. I really felt they were due for a come down to earth season this year and well… So far it’s looking that way. Zach in particular has been on a downward trajectory, albeit a slow rather than dramatic one, for a while… Under throwing people, overthrowing people, no escapability, not getting the ball out soon enough … Happy feet getting sacked more etc. etc. and not exactly a big game playoff performer in the last number of years.

Very disheartening. Really doesn’t have the escapability anymore. Also happy feet. No need to panic and tuck the ball. What… are u protecting it on 3rd down with game on line? You’re gonna “take the sack” there? WTF

True. Still, the jets have won more reg season games than any other Canadian team since their return in 2011. And none of those other squads have done much better in the playoffs. and when you add in the fact that Winnipeg is the least desirable market for free agents in the NHL… Well, it just helps to keep perspective.

Hey, I get it. But please… reconsider. I still want the team!

Wow. So disheartening.

“Every game”? 🤔 helle .871 tonight. Definitely made a few great saves. But, so did the other guy. I don’t think he outplayed the other guy. And he has to for us to have a chance. He has to be the same guy he is in the regular season and he has just not been. The tying goal was right through his legs again. and Ehlers? Outside of that overtime goal against Edmonton in 2021, he’s always been a meh playoff performer as well. It’s really too bad. It’s all very disappointing.

I understood his comment to mean he’s hoping that Barron can make a quick physical recovery ahead of his timeline, like Connor did. Not necessarily saying he wants him to play like Connor did when he returns. But I could be wrong?? 🙂 oops! I see someone already addressed this confusion and in a much more concise way than I! I would remove my comment but I don’t know how!

Yeah, except that it’s really just back. Very little forth. Was at the game tonight and we were getting dominated zone time. Really only evened out after the Avs got the two goal lead and sat back to defend. They have been better than us in both ends of the rink.

Absolutely. Except that it was 50 min of getting dominated. And the tiring narrative around Helle, the “best goalie in the world” and “shoe in for the Vezina trophy” gets very aggravating when it doesn’t translate into playoff performance. Like, it doesn’t really matter at all what you do in the regular season if you can’t back it up in the playoffs. Toffoli invisible. Slow.
