Jennings single-handedly stole the West semi-final from the Bombers. He's not going anywhere. And Austin isn't giving up on Collaros yet. Toronto is still unsettled, I'd concede that, but I'd say 6 teams are nowhere near being in the market for a new QB. And did you really just drop theorycraft into your post?? I love it

Keefe is the only one who could potentially be an upgrade on Maurice, but personally I think he's overrated simply because he's in Toronto... the Marlies coach is always touted by the media as the 'next big thing'. The rest make me barf in my mouth. I'd be more likely to look at a guy like Kevin Dineen (assistant in Chicago) or Gerard Gallant (unemployed, centre of controversy in Florida earlier this season).

I get the general idea but isn't there ~20 years between Episode 6 and Episode 7? Maybe Snoke gained the bulk of his power in that time, and he was too weak to have any real effect around the time of the original trilogy.

But only in Ottawa... he claims its OTT or retire. BC - Jennings EDM - Reilly CGY - BLM SSK - ??? WPG - ??? TOR - Willy/Ray MTL - Durant/Adams HAM - Collaros OTT - Burris/Harris So unless Nichols wants to go back to playing for Chris Jones, the guy who dumped him once already, I really don't see how he has any leverage whatsoever. Nichols and the Bombers will get a deal done.

Have to agree.... Durant will almost certainly be extending with the Als within a day or two

Do you need a work visa when you go on a business trip to the States?

Pascal Vincent is probably at or near the top of the list

Checkstop program checking for silly infractions, sure I agree that is an abuse of their power. Photo radar as well. But what you're missing is that the issue here IS the specific infraction. Just like you don't want people to say "well, there's a law and he broke it", I don't want people to say "he got a ticket? Well, that's just a cash grab." It's situational. And in this situation, the ticket was warranted, whether you agree or not. The amount of snow shown in the photo is beyond acceptable levels.

Ah ok well if it's never happened to you then the issue must not exist.

I believe that Ray can still be an elite QB behind a good OL. The idea of Ray throwing to Dressler, Smith, and Darvin Adams intrigues me.

15%, really? I would have thought the bonus gets taxed at a higher rate, not drastically lower. Interesting.

My list is: Nichols, Ray, Burris, Durant... in that order.

Get rid of PI challenges

That may be so, but the fact is, Chewbacca is an eight foot tall wookie, and lives on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks. This does not make sense!

I think you're confused. I in no way believe Pizzagate is a legitimate theory. But it is just that. A theory (as you mentioned twice in this post, so I'm confused why you ever asked "what theories?"). By legitimate source, I mean it was based on real emails (which has never been denied). So, to recap, Pizzagate was a theory based on a real source... like I originally said. IMO conspiracy theories =/= fake news. Two different beasts.

No I didn't, you are obviously confusing me with someone else.

Personally I don't think this would be the right time to fire Maurice. I think you have to give him one more year with this team. The reason I would err on the side of caution is that we will only be able to get coaches who are out-of-work, like Maurice was, or with virtually no head coach experience, like Noel. Now, that doesn't mean those kind of guys can't find success. But we're not going to be attracting a Babcock, Julien, or Quenneville. I'd rather stick with Maurice one more year as the young guys gain some more experience and see if that works. Rather than rolling the dice on an unknown who could just as easily be a Dallas Eakins as he could be a Mike Sullivan.

Great list! Seems early for Christian but I guess it's okay, he had a pretty long and decorated career. The rest are all favourites from my childhood; especially Rick Rude and the Natural Disasters. I'd say DDP was a favourite from my childhood but truthfully he is still one of my favourites today. I expect to see him in the Rumble again.

Lots wrong here. Winnipeg is youngest or second youngest depending on method of calculation (Carolina would be first when weighted by 'games played'). Columbus is 5th youngest but has a superstar goalie. Anaheim is not young, they are in the middle third of teams. New York? The Islanders are last in the East and the Rangers are the oldest team in the league, so try again. Minny? Statistically the best goalie in the league and middle of the pack in terms of age. Edmonton is young and good. Also they have a good veteran goalie and Connor McDavid. So, nice try, but you failed miserably.

No consequences for certain players? Which? Stuart who is stuck in the press box? Thorburn who spent half the season there? Stafford who was relegated to the fourth line until there were injuries and has been playing well since moving up? Pav who got sent down to the Moose? Which players are you referring to?

Yeah? Ever had a foot-wide chunk of half-frozen snow fly off a van in front of you and explode onto your windshield? It's not fun. If people are too lazy to clean the snow off their car (and this is pure laziness), then they deserve a ticket. Period.

The Jets have one of the youngest teams in the league, including their goalie. It's not coaching, it's inexperience. If the team misses the playoffs again next year we can talk about coaching. The Leafs have supposedly one of the best coaches in the league and arguably an even better rookie than Laine, and they are still just flirting with the playoff line. A major difference there is a veteran goalie. I'm not saying the coaching staff is perfect but this is exactly where I expected the Jets to be this year based on their age and experience level. If you expected playoffs this year then that's on you for unrealistic expectations. Again, we'll have a much better idea next year.

Warrant an investigation? If the dossier is real then it IS the investigation.

I've never really considered BuzzFeed that way, or in any way a factor in news coverage. That's why I'm really surprised that they would publish this, of all places. Most of their articles are just clickbait. It's not news, it's just junk. It would be like if TMZ published it.

A string of goalies with potential? Who? Pavelec, Chris Mason, Al Montoya, Michael Hutchinson, Connor Hellebuyck.... I see one goalie with potential, 3 castoffs from other teams, and Pavelec.
