Black Friday......half the games that day are matinees.......

well, he DID say Western Canada...and Snow's going to take the best deal he can get......

So who's all going to what next week? There's 3 of us making the roadie from Calgary next Wednesday. So far, other than the game itself, we've just got tix for the TD MB Social at the Convention Centre on Friday afternoon. Hoping they have the Jets game on a big screen, as the Jets play Minnie that afternoon. Either way, should be a good time! A lot of the team parties, like Riderville and the Atlantic thing....are cheap or free....so we'll be at a lot of those I suspect. What's everyone else taking in?

Ladd and Buff are absolutely going to be the first two things offered, in terms of O and D, but not sure it's either of them that go, if this trade happens. It's really going to be interesting to see how this deal gets done, and with which team. Everyone talking Oilers and Jets, for obvious reasons, but imagine it's something like Minnesota maybe? (Close to Winnipeg...) or Vancouver or Calgary even?? Can't wait to see this unfold...

That was one thing I read....Yakupov, Schultz + a prospect or pick.....which I'd grudgingly do, as I like both Yak and Schultz.

New Zoolander 2 trailer is out....shocked that it looks REALLY funny. First one is awesome, but I really thought, after this much time, the sequel would be awful....

Been a Gretzky and Fuhr fan from the early days. Love for Jets, Leafs, and Hawks but living among fLames fans, I cheer loudest for Oilers.

Tait says been hearing the Isles asking for Little, Hellebuyck, Pick as part of the package and he says there is no way the Jets part with that.

Probably hire someone cheaper to do itMost likely automated. Someone in another city does the job remotely. Doesn't do the job as well, but does it cheaper.

It's gonna be a lot of automation soon. Somehow more than they already do.

Lotsa solid hits out there. Every day he's Scheifflin'....

At least 19 people have been cut at CTV Winnipeg, 103.1 Virgin Radio and 99.9 BOB FM as Bell Media, which owns TV and radio stations across the country, continued the nationwide restructuring it began in August. Pamela Roz, 103.1 Virgin Radio’s host on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., was cut, along with Kristin Marand, 99.9 BOB FM’s midday host. Roz tweeted on Wednesday that "to use a #sports term, I’m a free-agent, friends! No longer on-air, but full of fun skills to use as I please. Thx for all the support." Marand tweeted earlier this week that "the great @halanderson once told me "kid, you’re no one in this business until you’ve been fired at least six times." Seven other employees in radio production, sales, street team and engineering are also gone. At CTV Winnipeg, no on-air staff were cut, but the TV station lost its operations manager, promotions manager and payroll manager, as well as a camera operator, editor, floor editor, feed and play operator, web producer, traffic manager and receptionist. Bell Media had announced earlier this month it planned to eliminate 380 positions across the country, including 270 in Toronto. A spokesperson for Unifor, the union that represents the workers, said at the time that 220 of the positions would be in editorial and production, 45 in sales and marketing and five in administration. A local spokesperson for Unifor and another for Bell Media could not be reached for comment on Wednesday. Across the country, other notable cuts included CTV News Channel anchors Dan Matheson and Amanda Blitz, and TSN co-host David Bastl. TSN’s Off The Record was also cancelled, but its host, Michael Landsberg, will continue producing shorter pieces for the station. Bell Media owns 30 local TV stations, 34 specialty channels like TSN, and 106 radio stations across the country. kevin.rollason@freepress.mb.ca

Add another 19 to the list, as Bell Winnipeg let a bunch of Radio/TV people go today. Just f***ing brutal.....

Randle is arguably our best player on the D side of the ball....him or Westerman, take your pick.

Oh please...Nurse, Klefbom, Schultz.....any one of those could go back (but won't...) Oilers are THE front-runner, no question, because they have to be. They can't pass this up.

I think you guys forget that Garth Snow is kinda over a barrel here. His guy is demanding a trade, so the onus is on him to make something happen quick and put this behind them. But honestly, the Oilers need this too badly...I can't see anyone out-bidding them.

massive overpayment.....I could see someone like Stafford going back the other way...

Just an unreal brutal story...heart attacks within an hour of each other. Can't bear to live without the other....Christ, that's love right there.

Ovechkin, Toews and Crosby for Gretzky, Lemiuex and Hull.... Bobby or Brett.....

Edmonton needs him BAAAADLY but Winnipeg would be lucky to have him as well. Dude is a fantastic stay at home guy on a good contract. I'd take him on any of my teams.

Re: Andrew Harris.....pretty sure nobody's against bringing him in, in principle, but the question is how much is he going to command on the open market, and how much are you willing to pay the guy? I don't think anyone thinks he's an elite level guy anymore, but is he going to ask for elite level money?

CFL News @CFL_News #CFL Insiders say - "Since they’re in our division, I hope the #Riders promote (Jeremy) O’Day." via @PentonKirk This made me laugh right out loud...

If they're massively overpayed and being given a promotion, it makes sense to me....

Also, Chris Jones is one of the most arrogant people in the CFL....the thirst for power alone would drive him toward that gig.

It's very interesting anyhow......
