Thorax issue apparently...

Still remember that training camp after we signed Brendan Dillon. Dillon was going around hitting guys in the scrimmages and then Wheeler took him aside and told him to stop doing that. You could see the bewildered look on Dillon's face, like "what kind of country club of a team is this?" I knew when I saw that happen that Wheeler had to go. You have to hit guys in training camp, you're all fighting for a job. Can't play it at 3/4 speed.

I did not have sexual relations...with that fur coat....

I honestly hope Chevy's days of trading away our first pick are done - we lucked out with Stastny but Hayes was a major bust. Just not worth the risk in my opinion. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/jets-bowness-says-his-first-all-star-nod-would-be-a-tribute-to-t~2845649

Never understood that though, yes they have no choice while under contract, but if you've got good guys, don't you want to keep them? Like for instance, Scheif and Helle?

yeah I think the Jets are seeing BL and McGroarty as the future, both really good character guys and born leaders.

no one wants to play for Torts. How that clown stays in the NHL is a mystery.

and Danny Zhilkin, who we got with the third round pick we got in that trade too.

is that what you heard? Ear's 'oping!

Apologies if this has been asked before but does anyone know who owns Michael Penix's rights for the CFL (neg list)?

Chevy if and when the Kings ever called him to reverse the trade....

I know this is a game-day thread but just putting this here as this used to be our guy...and we are playing them today.... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10103661-6-trade-landing-spots-that-could-revive-blue-jackets-forward-patrik-laines-career

Seems pretty lame to me. Imagine if Kyle Connor had acted like this...or Jacob Trou...never mind...

I hope our 2024 second round pick from the Kings pays some dividends too. Man, I know it's early days but I believe that Chevy fleeced the Kings pretty good. Would we have gotten that kind of return from the Kings for Laine? I highly doubt it. Dubois - way over hyped.

I thought that was only when the other team was running special QB protection. Especially in Grey Cup games.

yeah I figured, but he was still bald-faced lying.

I was watching one of the NFL games yesterday and Darryl Moose Johnston was going on about his new affiliation with the merged USFL and XFL, the United Football League (still doomed to fail I'd wager). He kept saying that "it was the only chance for guys to still play football and have a shot at getting into the NFL". I don't get why most Americans, who are football fans and in the football industry, are so blind to the CFL. It's just like the CFL doesn't even exist, despite the fact that so many CFL players do go to the NFL. Just a bit of a Rodney Dangerfield thing going on here. Why is the UFL any better than the CFL?

Camera angles in this stupid arena are so bad. Camera is so far away. It's like watching the Spengler Cup.

LOL - this is a video of Blake Wheeler getting his butt kicked by some guy on the Blackhawks. Not sure why it is "Age restricted".

Just need this guy.

Some Jets 1.0 coverage in here.....for the old timers like me....

Looks like he's using the force now.
