Don't fix the leak in your bathroom - it's just going to run to the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the rec room.

Sounds sort of like a Stubler Defense.

A shut down defenseman who can move the puck and generate offence is pretty much exhibit A on most Stanley Cup winners / contenders.

Pick the guy who'll rob you the least...

They could be shoring up the special teams - Canadian DB's make up the bulk of ST players.

I assume every one is aware that there is hardly any snow south of North Dakota? That's why they're not forecasting a flood for this year.

And the way humans exist has been changing ever since we arrived on planet. The last big change (the growth of civilization) was spurred by agriculture, maybe the next one will be spurred by climate change.

AKA Chip (wanted to quote your post but it's not working) I agree with you, but I don't think a guy like Fleury would be enough of a difference maker in Winnipeg. In fact I see him and Pav as being quite similar in performance and consistency.

Goaltending: 1. Good teams are winning championships without a lights out goal-tender. Recently, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Detroit 2. A goal-tender capable to elevating a team with the Jets' talent level would be in NHL top 5

Quick, Lundqvist, et. al. are not available

So - the GM makes some moves that make them better now - the team finishes 7th or 8th - makes a first round exit To achieve that you've probably given up some future talent Then what?

so you're saying that seeing him in Hogtown is a longshot... The more I hear about Creehan the more glad I am that he is gone. Not sure how he pulled off the 2011 defence we had, though it looks like it was more because of Burke and in spite of having Creehan on the staff. Well yes, Burke was the DC in 2011

A good long calorie burning, artery unclogging, nap - yep

x4 There were no complaints from anyone - just working towards a more positive atmosphere

I like Quiznos - anyone else? Used to go to the one on St. James on game days.

That's a good point. I can go to a local family restaurant and get a massive burger platter for 9.99. Fast food has become a rip off, especially MD with their tiny burgers. However, if prices are a concern, get yourself some coupons. A & W has coupons that get you two combos for $10 - they're usually in our local paper. The 9.99 burger platter is quickly disappearing. I'm not a fan of cheeseburgers, so I'd ALWAYS get just the plain burger wherever we went, and could often get it for said $9.99 price tag. No more. It's at least $10.99 in any place you look, and in some places it's even more (nevermind the $2-3+ they charge you for a soft drink with it). It's tough to come away from a family restaurant without spending $14.00 after tax, and at McDonalds (if you order wisely) you can get a lot of food for under $10.00 (double hamburgers, anyone?) Two or three dollars more but far more food on the plate. $9.99 @ Barney Gargle's in Selkirk. If you don't want to pay for pop, order ice water with lemon.

Good God man. If you're worried about excess sodium, you shouldn't be eating fast food, period.

Simple solution: onion rings

I really don't want to weigh in on this. But it's clear that the lack of Canadian talent and depth on this team is a long term problem. You have to build a stable of young Canadian by keeping most of your picks and drafting effectively every year. Mack's drafting record is spotty, but he did inherit a team that had spent several years trading away most of their picks.

Which scenario would most fans prefer? Drew Willy at 4 - 12 or Kevin Glenn at 9 - 9? Let's face it, Glenn would make this team better. He has a quick release and runs a good short yardage game, which fits well with a subpar OL. If Willy is the better QB, he'll play. I dare say Walters knows they can't afford another season of QB development.

Suber: do you think he'd be effective at SAM?

I was told that it had been discontinued. It's also no longer displayed on their website. Should've emptied the bloody shelf.

My preferred Scotch for cheaper every day drinking is Grants Ale Cask Finish. It has a blue label (most Grants has a red label). There is also a green label that is a Sherry Cask finish. Both are very smooth scotches with great taste; not single malt but definitely very good. However, I have never found the green label in MB (only in Ontario) and most LC outlets that used to carry the blue label no longer do. When I asked about it, I discovered the employees have the same complaint. "Used to sell a fair amount of that stuff and pour it myself." Unquote. If anyone sees Grants with a blue label, please give me a shout. Meanwhile...my gears continue to grind...

There will be pros and cons no matter how you set up the justice system. It just bothers me that people who should be better informed are calling for an appeal. An appeal based on what?
