Greg Peach, the back-up: Excellent. Greg Peach, Starter: Your scouting isn't good enough and your DL isn't good enough.

...Which is ridiculous...

Such an inferiority complex. Listen, all the chest-thumping is patently un-Canadian...unbecoming of Canadians, generally, and Manitobans, specifically.

no kidding. The Jets are in big danger of becoming the Riders of the NHL and that's not a compliment. Agreed. I was in Brandon for the Wheat Kings playoff game on Saturday and was stunned to hear the True North shout out during the anthem. I get it during Jets games (although the circle jerk the fans give themselves afterwards is a different matter) but it's weird to hear it at other events completely unrelated to TNSE. And if *that* doesn't scream Rider Fans, nothing does...

Wow, so much for the big heralded signing of Savio last off-season. Man oh man. Great community guy and everything. Hate seeing that.

that's definitely fair...I'm the first to admit that I don't know enough about the Draft or the CIS in general. I defer to the clique of draft gurus here...

I'd be a lot more sold on Demski at #2 if I hadn't lived through years and years of some of the worst OL in CFL history....

and further to this current train of thought, as much as I love what Chipman and True North have done for the city, the level of adoration is starting to go a little far. I mean, people are REALLY putting TNSE on a pedastal and I'd suggest it needs to be dialed back a bit.

Well, I'm very glad you didn't say Soccer was ahead of the Jets in your book. Nah, I like Canadian sports...

Either of those trades would be awful for the Jets. Doan's Best Before Date was close to a decade ago, and Lupul has been one of the cancers in the TO locker room....

I like hockey, don't get me wrong, but it's 3rd (at best) on my priority list. CFL and the curling tour are far more important to me...

Going to cheer on the Wheaties on Tuesday at the 'Dome. Gonna be a great game...hoepfully a sweep.

Hutchinson, plus either Myers or Trouba, and a swap of picks for Eberle.......that's your starting point.

Ridiculous....go Ducks go. Anybody But Calgary...

If Chia lands a coach with some quality experience, a legit starting G, and at least one quality D to anchor the corps (a large task, to be sure!) then this team immediately becomes a playoff contender...

A goalie, if anything........

the healthy Malkin from a few years ago, at the right contract, maybe.....

The kind that's hurt a lot?

Well, in theory.....

As long as there's a large selection of Canadian craft brews.....

Extreme disagreement....I'm quite picky about both!

Lord knows I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm not saying Bellefuille is a good OC. All I'm saying is you're spinning evidence that's circumstantial at best in order to fit your argument. This is not new, but we're both clearly quite bored, so...here we are...all's I know is Bellefuille looked pretty damn competent when he had healthy players last summer. I suspect we'll see similar this summer...and hopefully into the fall...

The Oilers haven't fared this well during playoffs since '06.....hell of a week. The fans have been through a lot and deserve this...

The terrible running back play at very least falls on the coaches though.... and there was talk from the OL that the coaches made their jobs harder. It's all well and good to say there was some talent deficiencies, but there were some iffy coaching decisions as well and given the mediocre at best reputation our offensive coordinator has (And that's a well earned reputation) I'd say it's foolish to pin most of the problems on the players. Even though prior to the injuries, that team was shooting the lights out on offense?? Coaching is about adjusting. Teams adjusted to the Bombers and the Bombers couldn't make adjustments to those adjustments. That sounds like a Bellefuille hater spinning as hard as he can, right there.... no that sounds like reasonable logic. Sticking with Grigsby isn't an injury issue for example. You're definitively pinning the Grigsby thing on Bellefuille based on what exactly?

No microbrew! And no antiquing! Wouldn't putting you, 17 and Noeller in the same room by definition be antiquing? Post of the off-season right here. I may have giggled out loud. I may have also been given a funny look or 3 for said giggle..
