already in other threads...delete...

We actually started running that feature out here, awhile back. It's really good. We run Don Cherry's Grape Line, too, which is usually entertaining, if nothing else.

...aaaaaaaand there goes Dressler, re-signing...

Back to the original thread from a couple weeks ago or whatever......good for Ian. A true pro who deserves all the success in the world. Hope he makes a fortune.

My only point is that it was clearly a hard spin by Pedersen (*shock*) to pander to the heavy-mouth-breathers...

http://www.rodpedersen.com/ What an odd comment. I hope that's taken out of context...

So new rumour (Chris D.ca started the first) is full time Classic Rock similar to their Calgary station Q107. Basically what CITI was before Wheeler took over...

For the record, a lotta people were pretty down on JFG last week in another thread but it seems that he's gonna be starting this year, after all.

...As of 8am tomorrow, Power 97, one of the most legendary Rock stations in Western Canada, and quite possibly the best Rock station in Western Canada for a period of time (BJ/Hal, Wheeler/Hal), will be flipping to 97.5 BIG FM, a Country-format station, to try and take on ratings powerhouse QX104FM. ...As a nerd who follows this kind of thing, I don't see Winnipeg as a big enough "Country" market for 2 stations. It's been tried in the past. 103 was Country at one point, and then the terrible attempt with Hank FM that failed in virtually every market. Nobody's been able to take on QX. If anyone can do it, it's Corus Ent, who have a great track record in the Country format, in Calgary, Edmonton and some Ontario sticks...along with owning CMT, which is a big part of it, but I just don't see Winnipeg being the right sized market. Sad to see what was once an incredible Rock station go this way, but such is the radio world in an over-saturated market with too many radio licenses handed out, and too few advertising dollars to grab. Keep throwing **** against a wall until something sticks.

that's a damn shame for Ian, and I certainly take no joy from his unfortunate situation......that said......would sure love to see the guy back in Blue and Gold this summer, after all...

...waiting to see if anyone takes 81 at some point...

So Doug Brown says Watson asked for a trade East to be closer to home. Curious if Taman flips him out there...

Girlfriend's first stitched jersey was a Watson that I had done for Christmas this year. She's not gonna be happy. Sigh. Nice picks tho...

@AKCollie_10 Don't believe wht u hear. The report of me plying for Mtl is completely false.”

Ooh, a surprise ending. What a twist!

When he's healthy, I'd say Neufeld is pretty close to dominant. People are looking at "he's injured again" as "he's a bad OL"......

Pavelec starts tonight...it'll be close to even. But I think Hutch will be the guy to start playoffs, should they make it.

Your example isnt even close to a fair comparison and the humour is a 5 out of 10 at best. But good try! I give the humour a solid 7. at least...was well played.

I liked Ellingson a lot more when I thought he was NI, I'll tell you that much...

thanks for the input, Kim -- try and keep Youngblut and Tighe outta trouble tonight, will ya? #RIPCoatesy

absolutely not worth the money right now. Curious how much of a toll all that hard partying took on him over the years. Very curious...

I think the last time I enjoyed an NHL All Star thing, I was about 12. Now, it's just so lame and a waste of everyone's time. While I agree with the general sentiment that ASGs are lame for all sports, the baseball one has always been the best, if only for the fact that there's something on the line....home field advantage for the team in the World Series. In baseball, there's a lot less chance of guys getting hurt, so they can compete at a higher level. Football and hockey, much greater chance of getting hurt, so they all dial it down, and it ends up super lame.

Bettman is a slimy piece of **** weasel...of that there can be no doubt.....but being a commissioner of a pro sports league competing in the US, sometimes requires being a slimy piece of **** weasel...

Can we lock this or move to the General Discussion Forum......?

Bomber president and CEO Wade Miller took exception to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman’s suggestion Saturday here at the All-Star Weekend’s festivities that the game has been delayed because the football club wouldn’t make the stadium available in December. Bettman, in announcing a slate of three outdoor games in Boston (Canadiens vs. Bruins) on New Year’s Day, in Minnesota (Wild vs. Chicago) on Feb. 21 and Denver (Avalanche vs. Detroit) on Feb. 27, did say the league hoped to play a fourth game in Winnipeg but the three parties — including, obviously, the Jets — couldn’t agree on a date. Since the postponement became official last week, the Bombers have been taking flak for not making the stadium available in December — a date that was too close to the 2015 Grey Cup game to be held at IGF on Nov. 29th. "It’s unfortunate the commissioner of the NHL may not have all the facts with regards to the Heritage Classic in Winnipeg," said Bombers President Wade Miller. "All three parties had agreed on the date in February. Within the last two weeks, we were told that didn’t work for the NHL. "There was a date in January that didn’t work for True North and a date in December that didn’t work for the Bombers. We look forward to hosting the game next year or the year after." Bettman did promise as much in his address Saturday. "We had hoped to have a fourth outdoor game in 2015-16 season, a Heritage Classic in Winnipeg," he said. "We were unable to agree with the Blue Bombers on a date that would make each comfortable. Hopefully we can schedule something for the following season. There are no firm plans to announce other than it’s something we’d like to do because we very much wanted an outdoor game next season in Winnipeg." Jets governor Mark Chipman, meanwhile, said Saturday he was disappointed, but they completely understand the Bombers position on not wanting a Heritage Classic game in December and so close to the Grey Cup. The good news for the Bombers, Jets and the NHL is this: the initially proposed game for Winnipeg in February 2016 may still happen in the same calendar year with a possible Heritage Classic in December of next year. ed.tait@freepress.mb.ca
