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.

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.

Fans get numbed by theie team's continued poor performances. I can remember suffering through some very bad Bomber seasons & just sitting staring at the tv screen. Or in myseat at Winnipeg Stadium or the Arena. Also, I was a STH the first 3 seasons the Jets 1.0 were in the NHL. Not many wins those years. When the novelty of seeing teams like Chicago, Montreal, New York Rangers & Islanders, St. Louis, Boston & Detroit wore off, the hockey was brutal. I gave up my seat in the group I was with. I just stopped caring. Going winless in 30 games in 1980-81 did it for me.
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.

Race to the bottom has been achieved ...for 25' part of the season at least....Will we see much improvement in 26'.....not likely as it appears the Jets organization have written the season off...It's going to take more than 'tanking' (no guarantees there) to fix this mess...A lot of fans seriously pi$$ed off and have gone into apathy mode....Good luck to the club trying to renew season tix for next year....Happy New Year
The true sign the tank is on...we sign Patrice Cormier...

Yes I think it did.

say what you will about Kelly, the Fred Reid game in BC will always live in my memory ... watched it on a cheap little laptop from a hotel balcony in istanbul, drinking raki. Poor Javier Glatt. I was astonished he still had a career after chasing fast Freddie around all day.
Mike used to have a great avvy of Phil Hunt about to obliterate Kevin Glenn. Wonder if one could make a similar one for Jones vs Brock
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.

I’m in a festive mood.
In Saskatchewan "bums in seats" is a double entendre....

Kelly regrets what he did. When you're under a lot of pressure you do & say things you regret later. We've all done that. After 43 years Bomber fans have forgiven Dieter Brock for his behaviour when he demaded his contract be renegotiated, missed training camp & wanted out to go to the NFL. Brock regretted being an ass towards the Bombers & his fans. People get older & they mature. I was pissed at Dieter when that happened but no more. He was pretty clear in his book that he made a mistake & was sorry. I think if fans can forgive Brock then we can give Kelly a break. It's been nearly 20 years.
We got all of our anger against Dieter out of our system watching Tyrone Jones destroy him in the 1984 Grey Cup.

Blues forward out for weeks after suffering “scalding burns.”
The year of weird off-ice injuries continues....

I am thinking we're not going to be watching any playoff hockey this year, for the first time in a long time. Who knew that adding an aged out Jonathan Toews wasn't the answer?
Game 47 : Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting The Leafs

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.
