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...
-
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.

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.

Or the Winnipeg Parking Authority. That one always gets me.

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.

I wish!! Not sure where you heard that but unfortunately not true.

23-22 Stamps on a last minute missed field goal for one point and the win.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
-
I won't be surprised if Brohm throws 3 interceptions, I really won't. I'm sure there will be no controversy.

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...

Petan Injured In Headhunting Incident
Atomic replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I think he is fine now. He is traveling with the team. -
Gotta cheer for the Riders in this one. We are not going to catch them, but the Als could prevent us from taking the crossover.
-
Got a funny feeling we see a blowout today. 48-19 Bombers

The NDP under Doer was actually a good government, IMO. The NDP under Selinger has been an unmitigated disaster. If I had to choose between Katz and Selinger to lead a government, I still choose Katz. He is a sheister but Selinger is a buffoon.
-
I wouldn't count on Lowry generating much offence. Keep in mind he only had 33 points in St. John's last season, and didn't really produce much here during the pre-season. I think he's a good player and I like what he has shown so far but I just hope people's expectations for him aren't too high.
-
Worst group of candidates we've had in my lifetime, IMO. I will probably vote for Robert-Falcon Ouellette. Not that I think he has any chance of winning.

Lawless: Bombers need to sign Ben Heenan
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think the more realistic situation is the Riders dump Picard to afford Heenan. Then we can pick up Picard and Tim O'neill and continue on with a terrible OL. It's the Bomber way. -
I don't know, 2009 has turned out to be a pretty weak draft year.... Not many players outside the top 10 picks have really made names for themselves yet. I'm betting Klingberg will get a shot on the Jets' fourth line at some point this season so we'll see how that goes.

January and Jarvis Jones were both horrendous last night
