I was 6 at the time...I don't remember a lot about that 86 blizzard. Growing up in Pinawa, the high school is in the middle of town, and there was an elementary school at either end of it. At the time, nobody from out of town was allowed to attend, so there were no buses and there was really no reason to miss classes no matter what. It took a little longer, but we all got there...walking or whatever...
jets overall team D is a shambles right now, thanks in large part to injuries. Once they start getting some bodies off the IR on the back end....things will improve and all of a sudden people will be posting about how good their goalies are.
I thought the exact same thing about HM. Kinda makes to wonder about that guys attitude. Tho, maybe it just reaffirms what a lot of people already thought. . .
Correction, Franklin's signed through 2017...
Esks Reporter Dave Campbell:
"From the lips of Ed Hervey in a conversation with me weeks ago, James Franklin is under contract for next season. https://t.co/ZLeIeNloIo"
I won't disagree with that sentiment. It's battered wife syndrome, for lack of a better term. I live in a constant state of fear with this team because I've been hurt so many times. I just come to expect that we can't have nice things.
So, this is so weird, but it deserves it's own thread:
2003: We defeated Ottawa to clinch 11 wins. Sask beats BC in BC to create a 3 way tie for second, in which Bombers got second, Riders got third and BF crossed over. Obviously some irregularities but that's a LOT of interesting comparison........
Interesting thing I just found out:
In 2003, the last time we went 11-7, we needed help from Sask (in the final game of the year) to beat BC in BC, to create a 3-way tie....which gave the Bombers 2nd, Sask 3rd, and BC crossed over....
