Look a few posts up (post #11 to be exact).

If you remember he had the same actor playing similar but different aviator characters for 2/3.
 
Very confusing. Most peeps think its the same guy and it is but different character.

I went to Mad Max last night and it was great, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 (mainly for the visuals).  It sure isn't the low budget indy film that the original was and they put every dime to pretty good use.  I'd recommend seeing it in theatres rather than waiting to watch at home.  I thought it was interesting that the same actor was the main villain in this one (as Immortan Joe) & the original ( as Toecutter).  He's completely unrecognizable in this one though so if you didn't know beforehand, you probably would never imagine it was the same guy.

If all Sask-born players long to go back home, maybe you should let Rory Kohlert know he re-signed with the wrong team then.

jim bender        ✔ @bendersun If #bombers draft Demski, groom him for shot at #nfl, he would show his gratitude on the field. Draft O-lineman and lose their youngsters. 31m
jim bender        ✔ @bendersun The #bombers should draft Demski 1st, then get an O-lineman with 2nd pick. Seems like most of O-linemen are going to test #nfl waters 1st. 33m
jim bender        ✔ @bendersun Actually, #bombers biggest concern right now should be at LB, but there are no Muamba's in the draft #bringhimback 34m
jim bender        ✔ @bendersun The #bombers should actually draft Demski, who would become their answer to Cornish or Poplawski. Returns kicks well, too #nobrainer 36m
jim bender        ✔ @bendersun If #bombers draft an O-lineman 1st, it means they have no faith in Goossen, whom they drafted 1st last year or Neufeld, acquired in trade.
 
 
Jim Bender with officially the worst analysis I have ever seen. 

Let's go Wheaties....*clap clap clap clap clap*....

Oh you know it's on now KBF!  On paper this series is almost a coin flip, with Kelowna having slightly better top end talent and (regular season) better defensive zone play while Brandon has slightly better overall talent spread out on all 4 lines (when healthy, which they are as of today) and better goaltending.  I honestly have no idea how this is going to play out.  My gut says Kelowna but if Brandon can stay out of the box and continue with their good defensive play (felt weird just typing that) then perhaps a trip to Quebec is in the cards for the Wheaties. Plus we owe you guys for 2005  .
 
As for players to watch I think almost everyone has been covered by the other posters.  Definitely watch out for Hawryluk, he can score and has been hitting anything that moves for the past month.  Bukharts, our little Latvian, can be a genius stickhandler and a devious !@#$ disturber.  Fun to watch if you're me but maybe not so much for you.  Your forwards will need to watch out for Waltz and Erkamps, our physical Dmen.  Eric Roy, a Calgary D man pick,is having a great playoffs.  And Tim McGauley, for some insane reason undrafted but was runner up for WHL player of the year, is maybe our most complete player.  And don't forget Papirny, WHL goalie of the month for April, started every playoff game for the Wheaties.  I could go on but you get the point.
 
From what I see of the Rockets the players I fear/worry about are... Bowey, Morrissey, Chartier, Merkley, Draisaitl, and Baillie.  After tonight I may need to add to that list.  Anyways this should be a great series.  I will be there in person for games 1 and 2.  GO Wheaties GO!!!

Replace the box with a bag & there you go.
 

I get I'm not in their target demographic but some tax breaks for single people would be nice at some point

The best part of this tournament for Canada so far is that it's showing the rest of the country what Oiler fans already knew, that Taylor Hall is a ******* good player. 

I'm sure plenty of people will be scared by the price tag, but the reality is that this guy is going to be consuming a ton of snaps for us as a Canadian starter at an impact position. And has the potential to be very effective at it.

I have an idea now for a thread poll...

Ivan Povorov will be a 1st round pick this year. Nolan Patrick is being touted as a very high pick (top 5) next year.

Plus all those hits Drew took probably means he wanted to get stronger going into this year. You know what that means. He's on the HGH.

This post should be printed out, framed and placed in the Bombers fan community archives so that whenever anyone doubts your ability to spin even the best news into something you can complain about, we can just dust this one off.

I was reading some static from other fans and reporters during the Jets-Ducks series on how our fanbase was getting all the love even though we didn't have much to cheer about and our city sucked and blah blah blah.  And they kinda had a point, getting the 3rd star in game 4 was pretty weak and a little condescending I thought.  But what a lot of those people don't understand and can't ever understand is how it feels having your team ripped, torn, stolen away from you and knowing you would never get it back (did anyone honestly think the NHL would come back during those dark days in the mid to late 90s?).  Most of us moved on to other teams and put the Jets behind us for good.
 
Then came the MTS Centre and there was a kernel of hope that maybe, just maybe we could get a team again.  It wasn't much, especially seeing how hard the NHL fought to keep Phoenix and Nashville from moving, but it was hope.  Then the day we got the Thrashers it was the complete opposite of Apr 96.  It washed away 15 years of wrong and made it right again.  So, to me anyways, when we yell "True North" it's our way of saying thank you to TN for bringing our team back (yeah I know the Thrashers were never in Winnipeg, not the point) and fixing that wrong from 96.  And maybe a little FU to the rest of the league for letting us leave in the first place.  
 
Having said all this I do think that it should stay at Jets games.  Not a fan of hearing it at Bomber games and it should never be heard at Wheaties game.  

It's been going on for the past couple years at Wheaties games and it annoys the hell out of me.  TN has nothing to do with the Wheat Kings whatsoever.  It would be like me yelling "Blue!" during the anthem like I was at a Bomber game.  No connection there either.  To be fair though it's usually just a handful of people (mostly kids that don't know any better) while the vast majority of us ignore them.  I will admit that was the loudest "True North" shout I've heard at Westman Place all season this past Saturday.  I blame you Bigg Jay  .
 
And I'm right there with you on your point about the cheering right after the True North chant.  Bugged me for years.  I love the chant itself at Jets games but cmon Jets fans, act like you've been there before. 

Last week I was reading some Jets article in the paper and that same thought popped in my head - the level of circle jerking going on was really starting to remind me of something.
 
And then it hit me...Rider fans.  They were the same justifications I've heard from Rider fans.  The bowl of cereal suddenly had an unpleasant taste in my mouth.

It really is the exact same thing. It's getting gross.

I'm not a big fan of the "True North" chant, especially cheering for ourselves after we do it, but at least it makes some sense at a Jets game. IMO if you're yelling it anywhere else you look/sound like an idiot.
 
The Rider fans comparison isn't that far off. Asking every player/coach who comes to Winnipeg how awesome we are really reeks of a need for constant reassurance. All we need is a Commissioner's award for being "the best fans ever".

Wasn't that long ago when we couldn't find a legit starter, couldn't find a replacement for Buck Pierce.  Stefan LeFors, Michael Bishop, Joey Elliott, and on and on.
 
Yes Willy wasn't as good in the 2nd half of last year as he was in the first  He also took more punishment then any other QB out there and got happy feet from a porous Oline.  We've taken steps to fix the OLine problems this off season.
 
I've seen enough.  In a league without guaranteed contracts, you lock him up long term if you can.

Agreed.  I was in Brandon for the Wheat Kings playoff game on Saturday and was stunned to hear the True North shout out during the anthem.  I get it during Jets games (although the circle jerk the fans give themselves afterwards is a different matter) but it's weird to hear it at other events completely unrelated to TNSE.
