Feels like there should be a wager on this. Who is man enough to bet against TUP?

Pro athletes gamble on themselves all the time. You don't get to that level without having an incredible level of self-confidence. Unless he absolutely bombs (unlikely, and you know he's not even considering that possibility) or gets a career-ending injury (very rare), he's going to end up with a long term deal. It's really not that much of a gamble to be honest.

Show us your TDs!

Oh are we talking about him signing this offseason? Lol yeah there is no chance that happens. Maybe he signs when his current deal is up but certainly not before then.

Who cares? He's a backup now

Could be. I'm sure that won't be a problem this time around.

The rumours and hearsay are the smoke. Official statements from players and agents mean very little to me. The only fact we really know is that Trouba was unwilling to sign long term. Maybe that has changed, maybe not. I'm hoping he will but I'm not arrogant enough to believe I know what he is going to do.

Lapo tends to get more conservative the closer the offence gets to the end zone. Most of our touchdowns come from big plays outside the red zone that either end up in the end zone or at the one yard line where we can just punch it in. Or Andrew Harris runs it in through sheer force of will. I'd like to see us be a little more aggressive in the red zone but with that comes increased chance for turnovers.

I don't think the worst but I also believe that where there is smoke there is usually fire. Now that doesn't mean Trouba won't sign but I do think that if he did have a problem with Winnipeg, it hasn't just disappeared and we'll be hearing about it again.

Rule? There are no rules in fandom, only opinions. Winnipeg is a unique case because we didn't have a team for 15 years. If you were 10 or younger when the Jets left, you probably didn't have much of a connection to them. So those people find a team they like in their teenage years or early 20s and there you go. That's what I did. But as soon as the Jets came back I was all-in.

That's funny because I was thinking how great it is that we limit it to one now.

Finland has been the most unpredictable international team at every level over the last few years. One game they will look like they should be getting relegated and the next they're knocking out a favorite. I don't know what it is.

Cheer for the home team dammit!!

PPG for Scheif

Yeah I pretty much agree with this. I see a Kane situation unfolding but with less vitriol... Trouba signs long-term but is eventually traded.

Dave Lozo is a joke and it doesn't surprise me that he's writing for Vice. I am surprised that Vice's sports department actually writes about sports sometimes and not just women's rights and player safety.

Really? I'm more bothered by the people who get a local team and continue to cheer for someone else. Like now that the Jets are back and some people still identify as Leafs/Habs/Flyers fans around Winnipeg.

It's the annual airing of grievances

Apparently Farpoint for the PSVR is pretty impressive. Reviews seem to be mixed but anyone I've talked to that actually played it loves it.

I don't think the team is doubting that. It's more about Trouba's willingness to stay here. I don't believe his desire to leave suddenly evaporated upon signing that bridge deal.

At this point I think we can say Richards was probably a bad pick but I'd say he's got another year to prove it wasn't.

I know, I remembered. I felt kinda bad about it.

Nice article thanks for posting

Nak vs AJ has to happen. That will be incredible. I actually like that they didn't throw Nakamura directly into a title feud. Too many guys get pushed too hard, too fast. Wrestling is a neverending story, so what's the rush? The slow build is a good approach.

I started it
