  1. I would tend to think that most younger folks simply stream music these days...
  2. If Heenan was so adamant on staying then why haven't they come through with a deal yet?
  3. Imagine if he signs with the Riders !
  4. I am surprised that nobody is complaining about the trade. Its actually refreshing to see! So Sask takes on more salary and we free up salary right as Heenan is going to free agency... This looks promising!
  5. Ottawa will sign Nik lewis for big cash
  6. I only caught the last 10 minutes... disappointing that they can never get any points in Pittsburgh. They showed Pavs struggled with giving up massive rebounds.... me thinks Hutch will be getting many more starts down the road.
  7. Does Bogeys still show them? Kind of dumpy but not much of a demand for wrestling these days.
  8. Just like Walters bringing in Banks only to cut him... Every team does these kinds of things.
  9. Oh my bad I misread it, I thought Taman was saying the reason he was traded was because he wasn't happy in Regina.
  10. How was Foley not happy, why would he re sign with them if he wasn't happy.
  11. My coworker has played Goalie for 25 years and a lot of what he says is what I have been saying on here. I know he isn't an NHL expert but still basic fundamentals are not being Done by Pavs in which he would know about.
  12. I doubt they would send up a young gun, Chevy will only make a deal if it makes sense. He talked about this on the radio the other day, pretty much said he wouldn't dump key guys leaving a hole just to fill a different hole. He made it pretty darn clear that a trade would only be if we got rid of depth / prospects in exchange for someone who can fill the void. Considering we got Harrison for a bag of peanuts I would assume the Jets make a similar trade for the 3rd / 4th line...
  13. The thing is Pav gives up big rebounds and is flying around the net which at times gives the illusion of him making big saves. Hutch isn't flashy but because of his style he limits the amount of scoring opportunities. If Pav has better puck control and didn't flop around so much he would then have much less crazy diving saves / bad out of place goals on him. Last night the Jets clearly would of won with either guy but it was a very solid outing by Hutch.
  14. No way we sink money into another receiver. We needed to make a big splash last off season to prove to players/agents we would spend money. We tried going after Butler but lost out, Moore was an awesome consolation prize who tragically ended up being injured most of the season. We're going to go hard after Heenan for sure, and probably check the potential of Holmes and Bryant as well. I hope the Bombers will go hard after Ernest Jackson. From an SMS perspective he may give us the most bang for the buck. Willy can't complete passes to even the best route runners if he has no time to throw the ball. Fix the OL and CanCon first, and Moore, Denmark, Watson, and whoever else they field will be more than dangerous enough that we don't need to add a receiver. The best laid plans... Just because we want Heenan and Holmes does not mean we will get Heenan and Holmes. Even if Walters does everything right. Free agency is the rare time players have the power. There will be 9 teams interested in these guys, and maybe outside of Montreal and Calgary, they will all be offering buckets of cash. And seemingly lost on the internet, players are actually humans, not just commodities. Maybe Holmes has been anxiously waiting his rookie contract out so he can finally move home to Ottawa and be closer to his sick grandmother or something like that. Maybe Heenan is sick of the prairies after living here his whole life and doesn't want to move just one province over, maybe he wants to live in Vancouver and spend his winters skiing, cause why not do it while he's young, these opportunities come around once or twice in a lifetime? Free agency isn't just an auction with players going to the highest bidder. So anyways, say we set aside approx half a million just to go after those guys and land neither, then what? Have a money bonfire? Sign Hurl for $400,000 just because he's a NI who kinda sorta could start, or if nothing else has totally bitchin hair? Of course plan A and B should be chasing after NI Olinemen, but if plan A and B don't work out through no fault of our own, is having a plan C that includes bringing in another premier receiver for our young QB to target such a terrible idea? I don't think it is. And the notion that we can't bring in a top grade receiver AND a guy like Heenan is nonsense. Josh Bourke isn't making chicken feed in Montreal, or Perrette and the rest of that Oline, and Popp said they offered SJ Green enough money to make him the highest non-QB player in the league. There is room in the salary cap to afford lots of talented players on the same team. Why do people keep forgetting that we have signed a big time receiver on a big contract and that signing two big time contracts at receiver seems far fetched when the o line sucks?
  15. No one works for CBC anymore all sportsnet crews no matter what station Well it was better then Bob Cole is what I was trying to say =\ Beyak and Hnidy / Engblom are way way better to listen to.
  16. Shutout for Hutch 29 saves showed great puck control and great positioning , he definitely is the real deal! Sportsnet on the other hand is so tacky with so much inane pointless chatter , they at least are not cry babies like the CBC crew but yeesh they sure go on and on about pointless tidbits.
  17. What about hats or octopus ?
  18. Assuming everyone stays healthy.. Do you think the Jets make a splash? I was listening to Lawless yesterday and he says the only *name* he heard was O'Reilly in Colorado and even that was a big long shot. Who do you think the team would part with?? Do you think they would deal Kane, Pavs or even a top prospect like Petan?
  19. Why were they banned for doing this?
  20. Considering sports writers made a top ten over rated player list and Pavs was number one on the list.... Considering the coach is splitting duties with a rookie and actually starting him more then Pavs.... As I said Pavs is a good back up that is making to much.
  21. How do you know? I'd bet we can.We could but at the expense of going after Heenan or Holmes? Walters won't blow that much money on import receivers.You don't know this. The way Walters has been talking, I suspect he has the funds and cap space for 2-3 big FA splashes. There's no way both Heenan and Dressler could ever play on the same team. It's unpossible. While paying a boat load to Moore and a decent penny for Denmark...all while having holes in other key positions

  24. Lol agree to disagree... I will side with most other people in saying Pavs shouldn't be the short or long term solution for the club.
