I think if they played this game in any other city where the preseason game wasn't forced on season ticket holders, you'd get similar results. What they should have done is either drastically reduced ticket prices and / or papered the house. The stadium has to be open, you are paying for your services staff to be there. Might as well fill it up and at least make money on concessions.

Many people who check out this site at work don't have a choice.

I don't really think things are personal for Lawaless. After reading his articles and listening to him daily, when he starts turning on someone, like he did with Mack it is usually due to inside information from sources that he can't report on.

Lawless is fairly well connected in the NHL rumour mill. Usually if he is writing about it, there is at least some smoke to back up the fire. Not a guarantee by and means. But I don't think he just made this up.

Anyone know where Jovon landed? Probably nobody cares! Ottawa.

I'm addicted to House of Cards. Can't wait for the next season.

Locked. Merging doesn't make sense because your post is in the title and that wouldn't merge over. Please continue in the existing thread.

This was his actual tweets

If I recall correctly, the book on Worman has always been that the players have hated him, despite the success he brings on the field.

This is enough for me to move to MTS. Have had other problems with Shaw.

Looks like it is a walk through

Not all players are bitching

I will investigate further for new registrants, but if you go to your profile (click your name in the upper right), then click Edit My Profile, you will be able to choose the timezone you want times displayed in.

I'll bite. What is the MorningBigBlue clock?

PM me if you are interested and we can figure out a way to meet / deliver

CJOB has the rights to the Bomber games for the next 5 years. The remainder of the 7 year deal they signed right before Buchko left the radio station to run the Bombers. CJOB was worried that TSN 1290 was going to steal the rights when they came due so they offered the long term deal to the Bombers. Can't see Bob working much past the next 5 years.

And this means either a trade or picking up another teams cuts. At this time of year neither will occur until after roster cut downs. So why not upgrade the import talent right now.

Payments can be made through PayPal at admin@morningbigblue.com. Send me a quick PM with size and where you are at for shipping costs before you send.

The Bombers pretty much had to offer free transit last season because everyone was used to driving to the old stadium. That isn't feasible at the new location. The carrot was dangled so people would take advantage of it. Now that people are more used to transit and have experienced the traffic nightmare if everyone drove, they can start charging again.

If I have to guess on this, there will be regular bus service to get to the games (though the city would still have to up their buses running to the stadium), which is why you pay. Then on the way home, it is free, so the Bombers pay for the charters. However, since they are only chartering home, they don't have to pay for the 3 hours of idle time during the game. They would only have to pay for whatever the minimum time is.

I guess this is the backup plan... Are they still chartering buses?

The T-Shirts have arrived today. Besides winning them as prizes in upcoming contests, if people are interested in purchasing one, we will sell them at cost for $20 (+ shipping if you live out of town). Also, if you feel so inclined, in the spirit of MBB being able to donate a pair of season tickets this year, we'd encourage you to make a small donation to your favourite charity as well. Here is an actual shot of the shirt. (Excuse the wrinkles, photography isn't my strong point ) They are a very nice soft comfortable cotton (90% cotton 10% polyester and pre-shrunk) . Was very happy with how they turned out.

Michael Hutchinson now 52-15-3 combined between the 3 levels of hockey he has played in this year. Would like to see him get a legit chance with the Jets next year.
