Only if their goaltenders refrain from shitting their pants. Which is an iffy proposition considering what they have. But hey mcdavid and draisailt can outscore a lot of problems so who knows. Here is the thing, the jets were never more than dark horse contenders that some people picked to seem edgy.

And really is "**** Toronto you suck" ever a bad idea to float out there? -
Obtuse nothing, the jets were never seen as a perennial contender after their good season. Maybe by over excited jets homers, but no one seriously believed that team was at that level.

No because defenders will still defend the same parts of the ice, ie, the front of the bet leaving all sorts of room on the outside for players to **** around in. It does not make the game any more exciting just more perimeter play. Smaller rink there is less uncontested room so you're forcing guys to make plays towards the dangerous parts.

Won't make the game any better or more exciting, just makes it more grinding on the outside. Smaller rink forces more play towards the middle.

But as discussed, Bombers are better value for money so why spend that disposable income on a meaningless early nhl game? All these sporting events need to stop pretending people justbhave money to show up regardless. It's disgusting how much it costs to go to an arena these days and even try and buy food on top of the tickets.

Maybe we can apologize to Barrington Wade and get him back to right the wrong of cutting him 🙄 -
Simple facts are the NHL is ******* expensive... it's no wonder that as people are seeing their disposable income shrink that places like nhl arenas will be the first to feel it.

It just amuses me to use kramdi instead of cram it. But yes I have wondered why they aren't taking the opportunity to go 4 imports across the DL with a NI at linebacker. Could create some real havoc. -
Let's do that again...

This is what I would like to see to be honest... can make it work pretty easily especially if kramdi is going to play. I know you hate kramdi but he's not as bad as all that so pardon me if I tell you to kramdi it with the **** talk about him. -
He's not gonna get that...

It's the cfl, you don't show up for the game anyone can beat anyone else.

22 when they kept Dalton schoen who has torn the league a new *******? Hard to say Jackson would have been better than that. Regardless of who he's playing with now. Barrington Wade didn't do **** on preseason. That he signed with an NFL team says more about his agent if you ask me. Parker over rose? Interesting take... could have argued Houston, maybe Holm but not Rose. Our best secondary includes Rose in it. Neufeld has been the best OL this year in my opinion. No sure anyone should be taking his place. Again there are a couple spots on the roster we can quibble about but by and large there isn't some grand conspiracy or coaching ineptitude. Lawler is a strange one if you ask me, Lawler got on the roster and did show well... just that lapo likes to waste receivers talents if they're not a demski or weston dressler type. Haba is the only guy on your list who has shown enough to get on the roster. We need to develop some young players sure, and part of that is development time. Inserting haba over some of the vets doesn't make this team any better today. -

None of those guys have proven ****... the best of that list is Haba and he is in no way shape or form better than either Jeffcoat or Jefferson at this point in time. Your argument that we need to improve and get younger is valid, your position that we're blocking younger better players is mostly incorrect. Recruitment and drafting has been the issue IMO. -

However bc and winnipeg at the top is more difficult than Toronto and BLM/faj. So the semi final might be more difficult in the east... but the final should be way tougher in the West -

That's an extreme opinion... he isn't what he once was (whatever that was) but he can still play. He's basically the one older guy who is "blocking" someone younger and better. Though I think he can still be a player on the roster. -

Honestly they need to bring in some new recruits who can push older guys down the lineup. That never happened this past season.
