I've refused to get a subscription so far based solely on the fact that I've seen ads every day for two weeks telling me "Get 50% off an Athletic subscription TODAY ONLY!!!"

Game 59 : Cruise Capital of the World @ Sunday Night Cruising
Only guy I'd want is Rick Nash or maybe Patrick Maroon if he came cheap

Not so sure about that one....

I want to go to Finland and tell people I'm from Winnipeg and see what their reactions are

US Politics
I've still yet to see any proof of Russian collusion. Yes it would appear that they interfered but I haven't seen the conclusive link to Trump. That would probably be a good reason to remove him. Just haven't seen it yet. Otherwise I agree... let the next election decide. As it should be.

US Politics
Not much of that is really new or unique to this administration. And not one of those is affecting citizens on a day-to-day basis. America's not perfect but that's not new and it's certainly not a reason to remove the president.

The country seems to be doing okay. At least as well as it did with the last president. So I don't really see the issue.

Or none of this will ever happen. Probably the most likely scenario.

DT is the one spot where there is an abundance of Canadian free agents.

So... maybe not such a big deal.

Kuale? And who else?

So who won free agency?
I couldn't care less about 3down's rankings but I love how upset the Riderfans will be with this.

If we can bring in Muamba by cutting TO I'm all in favour of it. But I also think we probably got a pretty reasonable deal on Roh. Day 4 of free agency and he isn't exactly a superstar.

Game 58 : Legal @ Illegal
So that means top line or Scheifele on the second line with Laine, effectively making it the top line regardless of what you call it. Because there are no other centre options here.

I suspect part of the rationale for bringing in Fenner was protecting against lingering injury issues with Leggett. Maybe he won't be ready for the start of the season and it's not totally uncommon for someone coming back from an achilles injury to have other muscle pulls when they get back on the field at full speed. I think Fenner starts at SAM week one and then we move forward from there. Because it was obvious when Leggett went out last season that "We'll figure out who can play SAM if we need to" isn't a sufficient plan.

I was pretty excited for Wilson last season and thought he had a shot at a LB job out of camp. It didn't materialize but having a year under his belt can only help.

I love Travis Bond but I've read this a few times from various sources and it's not the full story. Bond did not transform our OL. He was very, very good and a large part of the transformation. But it was not done in isolation. Our OL went from Bryant-Hardrick-Goossen-Chungh-Neufeld to Bryant-Bond-Goossen-Chungh-Hardrick, but most importantly, Willy came out and Nichols came in. Nichols gets rid of the ball much faster than Willy.... and I mean it's not even close. We're going from worst QB in the league in terms of release-time to one of the best. This all happened at the same time so it's not fair to pin it all on Bond. He was great... but the OL isn't going to disintegrate without him, just like it didn't disintegrate without him at the end of last season.

Oh the thread title is a pot joke. Ha ha ha. I get it now.

Wrestling
I remember when I got back into wrestling about five years ago, I had to get caught up on the previous fifteen years and Jeff Jarrett being a big star was one of the most baffling things to me. I only remembered him as the country-music-star who would strut around and break his guitar over people's backs.

Game 58 : Legal @ Illegal
Whether he fits bb1's contrived definition of superstar or not, it is just plain silly to suggest Laine should be on the top line regardless of how well or poorly he is playing. That's not how you develop a young star, that's how you ruin one.

Baines? He'll make it to camp. If we plan to start 2 Canadian receivers we'll need the depth. Right now it looks like Demski, Coates, Wolitarsky, and Baines will hold those four spots with Henry, Thera-Plamondon, and any draft picks fighting for a spot.
