he's no Joel Armia either...

I was at the Montreal game, had time for at least 3 beers that I wouldn't have drunk otherwise, and got to toast the drafting of Patrick Laine with several hundred new found friends. Glad I could contribute to the Bomber bottom line!

what they don't say is that $2.7 million of that profit came from concession sales during the 3 hour delay in the Hamilton home game...

Don't do my public accounting, but do my taxes anytime!

forgive my stupidity but I don't know who Atomic's avatar is.

Thorburn and Stuart have to be show-cased so Chevy has off-season trade bait.

or if that's what turns your crank, men's beach volleyball.

Counter counter argument - women's beach volleyball...

When the Olympics happen in Feb, usually the Jets are still in the running for the playoffs. Any one of Schiefs/Ehlers/Laine goes down, that hurts our playoff chances pretty big. I know we probably wouldn't make it even with all of them healthy, but them getting hurt in the Olympics would be catastrophic. If the Olympics were in April, not so much.

We can dream.

I'd say they've over-extended the North American market. Florida, Phoenix, Carolina - time to contract.

That was because in the 1980's the Russians were still the evil scumbag communists, not the benevolent world-loving friendly types they are now. But seriously, back in those days Russkies weren't allowed in the NHL, so we only got to play them in the World Cup (the Olympics was a joke because we had to send amateurs instead of our best, while Russia always got to send their best). The World Cup was a novelty. Now we get to see Russians play everyday in the NHL, not so much of a big deal.

until one or all of them got hurt like Tavares and ruined a potential playoff run.

Bryant Turner consistently took on the entire O-Line, with his pinky finger.

If Butcher can start stepping up and getting sacks by the boat-load this would a PR dream.

Ha that's a good read. Glad to hear that Winnipeg is putting "professional" back in "professional football team". I still remember the Cal Murphy days and hearing a story about how Cal was charging players $.25 per cup for Gatorade. I don't know if this was an urban legend but those days are over, and thank goodness for that. I don't think Cal would adjust well to the way players are treated nowadays. But anyway, kudos to Wade and the gang for changing the attitudes and the operating methods. Winning football games and building a dynasty isn't just about finding good players, it's about building an all-around professional winning methodology.

just think how many MRI's and operations we could be doing with this money instead. #sotiredofthatstatement

Coming soon - "The Ricky Foley Story" starring Johnny Drama.

yup that Willy trade just looks better and better. Right up there with Kane and Bogo for Myers/Stafford/Roslo/Lemieux/Armia

both terms make me hungry for some reason

Connor and Roslo called up together. Who sits? I don't see anyone being sent down? Is there room on the roster? Who sits? Thorbs? Tanev? Petan? Is someone hurt?

You should see the other guy!

well ok, I guess. Both were pretty bad.
