Last checked in to this thread in early December, saw that the number one topic was Jake Thomas. Now I come back end of January....looks like I didn't miss anything...lol...

It was a "brief illness" - there's a really virulent flu strain going around this year that's been taking down a lot of elderly people I know. No one has died from it but they've had to be hospitalized.

I've read a John Candy biography and watched two different documentaries. His family had a history of heart disease, and he was a smoker, heavy drinker who was morbidly obese. He wasn't going to make it much past 43. She was a main character on the show "The Studio" on Apple TV with fellow Canadian Seth Rogan. They were just starting production on Season 2 so this is probably going to cause a lot of issues as she would have had a part in every script.

Catherine O’Hara, Canadian actor and 'Schitt’s Creek' star, dead at 71 This just plain sucks. She was so amazing. First Joe Flaherty, now her. We're down to just Martin Short, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy from SCTV still with us. Good to see Andrea Martin working with Martin Short in "Only Murders in the Building".

Is it just me or does Chris Cuthbert sound sad when the Jets score against the Leafs? Meanwhile, he's jumping out of his seat when the Leafs score. I assume this will never change, ever.

I bet he performs well if the coaches butter him up.

Let's go!! Time for the comeback.

Don't call it a comeback!!

oh man they made a 3rd one?

I strongly advise watching Super Troopers. Awesome movie.

I'm still trying to figure out what Scheif is trying to accomplish with the mustache - is he looking at working for the RCMP this summer?

I used to watch the World Juniors and watch the many Jets prospects on the various teams, including Canada and the USA. This year? There are two Swedish defencemen, that's it. I know we've been drafting low for many years now, but man what has happened to our drafting?

Arniel getting fired today? Something has to give.

Nice goal by our prospect Freij against Finland. Too bad it was on his own net! He should fit right in lol...

This is the opposite of Shoresy. We may not win another game all year.

well on the plus side, we'd be a pretty good AHL team...wow is this bringing back memories of 1981. Yikes.

I wonder if Kyle will get to play - by the end of the 4 Nations Cup he was benched.

and yet because of that pain that year we got Dale Hawerchuk. As a wise person once told me - there is no great loss without some small gain. You have to look at the long game. We've ridden this core group for a long time with the Jets and had some good times. Just like the Bombers have ridden a core group for a long time. Now comes the pain. It always does. But some day, we will rise again.

The true sign the tank is on...we sign Patrice Cormier...

Yes I think it did.

I was at that Fred Reid game! He had another TD but it was called back. He got hurt and only sat out two plays - typical terrible coaching. Fred came back in and promptly reeled off a big run for a TD, Wally threw the challenge flag and yup, he had not sat out three plays so no TD. In Saskatchewan "bums in seats" is a double entendre....

We got all of our anger against Dieter out of our system watching Tyrone Jones destroy him in the 1984 Grey Cup.

Blue Bomber socks and a Bomber coffee mug for me.
