  1. Right now, I like Smokin blue's ranking. But Willy has the potential to move way up. I would have ranked Reilly similarly last year and look at him now.
  2. Yes, Bogo is a big part of the problem. A very big part. And I'm sure many of us have heard the rumours about what was really behind his extended "injury" last year.
  3. I'll believe it when I see it. They will give him the money. If they have to cut Picard to afford it and start Clark or Watman at Centre, then so be it. Heenan will be a Rider.
  4. Selinger holding a presser at 4 today. He has been taking a lot of heat since Judy got crushed... many in the NDP are scared that people hate Selinger and want him to step down. Could be interesting. But probably won't be.
  5. He took two holding penalties but otherwise I thought he was solid. O'Shea said the penalties were a result of him playing RT when he's a natural LT. O'Shea says a lot of things. I don't believe 95% of them.
  6. Yeah but it sure would be nice if he put up a brilliant performance every now and then. If you want to be a great team, sometimes the goalie has to make the stops that look impossible. I'm not saying every night, but occasionally it would be nice if he stole a game for us. Anyone remember what a shutout looks like? How Pavs never completely shuts the other team down? That would be nice for a change.
  7. Calgary basically built their entire Canadian OL in one season. Brett Jones, Shane Bergman, and Brander Craighead drafted in 2013, with Dan Federkeil added through trade/free agency in the same offseason. It doesn't have to be as hard as we make it look.
  8. Daniels was terrible in the last game, definitely not suited to playing right tackle
  9. Everything is fine. This is the transition phase to the new core. It will be bumpy for the next year or two but should start paying dividends afterwards. The five year plan was a plan to make the playoffs in five years and stay there for the next decade. This is year 4. Just needs a little more time.
  10. Awful news. Lucky only one person was killed. Could have been a lot worse.
  11. I'm having trouble understanding why Bowman is any better than Judy. He is making even more outlandish promises and the municipal sales tax?!? No thanks...
  12. Watching videos and practicing is all well and good, but there is no substitution for live fire experience, so lets get Goossen his. Waht's the worst that can happen- our QB gets sacked and we lose the game? Been there, done that. I totally agree.
  13. Jace Daniels will be the best OL to take the field for us this year. Just watch. I've been okay with Devin Tyler. The wildcard today will be Goossen at right guard. He wasn't outstanding the first time around so I'm curious to see how he looks today.
  14. Or the Winnipeg Parking Authority. That one always gets me.
  15. What are you basing all your negativity on? Top scouts and analysts are consistently rating McDavid and Eichel as generational players. Their play and records would seem to warrant their rankings .As for our prospects, they will get here and have a substantial impact when they do. Their records and play in junior would seem to support that assumption. It seems that the Bombers mediocrity has crept into your opinion of the Jets future. No negativity here. I'm not the one suggesting we tank for McDavid. Sorry if I don't think he will be as good as Crosby or Tavares. Not many players are.
  16. I wish!! Not sure where you heard that but unfortunately not true.
  17. 23-22 Stamps on a last minute missed field goal for one point and the win.
  18. Those aren't the SD channels for people who have the new cable box from Shaw. The new cable boxes automatically put the HD feed on the SD channel numbers. Another reason I prefer MTS cable - no crap about a free preview and TSN 1-5 are part of the basic service. Thanks you're right. I actually had one of those new boxes but I ended up going back to the older one I own after experiencing nothing but problems with the new one. MTS is far superior, in my opinion, but I am stuck with Shaw due to factors beyond my control.
  19. I don't blame Campbell, I still think he is one of the best young coaches in the game. I think the Redblacks offence owes their impotence to a lack of quality receivers and runningbacks and an offensive coordinator who was past his best before date 5 years ago. The defence is relatively competitive. I don't know what Desjardins is thinking, but no way I would fire Campbell after this season. But Desjardins might, because I believe he may be a moron.
  20. Its not that simple. How do you know McDavid and Eichel are comparable to Crosby/Tavares? They are certainly hyped as much, but I'll wait to see them in the NHL to make that judgment. Right now, I would say neither one will ever be as good as Crosby or Tavares. Besides, there is no guarantee we would even get them. The lottery has been adjusted, and even with your trades I don't see us being worse than Buffalo or Edmonton. Could end up with the third or fourth pick. Not quite the same impact. As far as Ehlers, Petan and Morrissey.... I hope they are ready to contribute next year but I wouldn't count on it. IMO Morrissey and Petan both looked at least 2 years away, and I'm not sure either will ever be the stars we are hoping they turn into. We'll see about Ehlers, he might be ready next season depending on how much he grows this year.... He is certainly our best prospect.
  21. Jacquie and iso are both right. Jacquie, those are the standard definition channel listings, and iso, those are the same channels we get TSNHD on here in Winnipeg. The five TSN feeds were provided for free to all Shaw customers until October 15, when the free preview ended. After that, you will only have TSN2 (the national TSN feed) and TSN3 (the regional feed for Winnipeg). Generally, TSN3 will show CFL games, but the Jets games take precedence when they are at the same time as CFL games. If you want TSN1, TSN4, and TSN5, you have to pay 3 dollars a month for the sports package. This will also give you Sportsnet Pacific and Sportsnet Ontario.
  22. I can objectively say they are better than any AHL team that has ever existed. Aren't doctors supposed to be a little more rational than that?
  23. I won't be surprised if Brohm throws 3 interceptions, I really won't. I'm sure there will be no controversy.
  24. MPI gives me far better rates than the company that I work for (that sells auto insurance in the US). Not sure where this myth comes from. It really all depends. I don't know what MPI charges anymore but I know when I moved to Alberta being an under 25 male I got hammered on my rates. Hit 25 though and it's not so bad with a clean record. I think the issue with MPI is that they seem to turn a pretty healthy profit, they could probably stand to lower their rates. A lot of people don't really like to see crown corporations earning a profit would rather see discounted rates. Yea this is the big thing, MPI doesn't adjust rates based on age (except indirectly via merit points). As a 20-something, I'm paying a little over 1k a month for my 2012 car with a $200 deductible. I'd be paying quite a bit more to a private insurer. A little over 1k a month??? That can't be right...
