  1. I'm calling it... in three weeks Paul LaPolice will be HC and OC of the Elks for the rest of the season. Also I forgot the terrible short yardage attempt in which Edmonton lined up their d-line lol. Jones is such an idiot.
  2. As an employee with Federal and working from home I can confirm that any talk that productivity or delays as result of working away from the office is 100% full of poop. It's propaganda because of the pressure that Ottawa (and other) downtowns are facing from the local businesses who are complaining that business is down because the federal employees are the ones buying coffee and lunches from them. I've worked at 4 different federal gov't agencies in my career and I know first hand that people are far more likely to not work a full 8 hour day, take excessive breaks, get distracted with conversating with fellow employees when in the office. Also the mental health aspect is a huge factor, not having to spend 1.5 hours per day in my car rushing to get home to pick up my kids from an after school program is a massive benefit. I also know people who work with the provincial justice system, they were back logged prior to COVID because the sheer amount of crimes in Manitoba is incredibly high. That number of crimes sky rocketed once people were locked at home and drinking more and whatever other factors that lead to people committing crimes. Most of the provincial staff had to work in office because the system is antiquated and still uses a lot of paper. I'm not sure where Lawler falls in but it has nothing to do with WFH or Hybrid. Unions do protect bad employees, but what you are complaining about is a management issue. I've seen people completely hide behind the union and do absolutely no work, but it's not like these people once in the office work hard and then at home stop. These folks won't work no matter where they are and who they work under.

  4. I just watched the game and the ego of Chris Jones is screwing the Elks massively. Cornelius should of been inserted in the 2nd half after the first drive that Doege went nowhere with. What a complete joke and that Edmonton team has all quit. Very little of them are hustling or trying to make physical plays or even really do anything. No attempt at stripping the ball or receivers diving for the ball. I can't believe how bad they are right now, this is Tim Burke bending over and taking it bad. Ottawa at least played physical and Khari called a really good game for Adams. Adams reminds me of Richie Williams and that's not a compliment. Really skinny qb with an awkward and slow delivery and a weak arm that will not do well in bad (winter) conditions. I don't know if Edmonton wins any games this season with Jones in charge?
  5. Hopefully he can retire a Jet down the road
  6. The wife (I assume it's the wife) older lady messes our orders about 75% of the time. She'll start recommending the bison or elk roti's and spend minutes trying to get everyone to order the "cream soda" like drink and then she'll write down and bring out those things despite us saying no and ordering different items. After doing this three consecutive visits of her serving the wrong order we then learned to ask her to repeat the order before taking it back to the kitchen and that seems to work. She doesn't mean any ill will and is very friendly but I believe she gets easily confused. Edit: I forgot to add that they (she) also likes to change prices on the fly, we were over charged a few times on our meals because the prices on the menu were out of date. If you go on google reviews you will see several people complaining about her adding extra money to the bill. So double check the bill and make sure she doesn't change the prices on you.
  7. I don't think they do dine in anymore, I've tried a few times over the last few years and it's always been closed. Roti's are solid but the wife running the front is kind of in her own world. Always double check that she writes down the correct order because in the past she would change our orders on the fly lol. I do recommend also checking out K&S Island Grill on Portage Ave, also home made and they definitely have a much more hotter spice level on the various items.
  8. It might come down to which team can shoot themselves in the foot more then the other?
  9. So many hilarious letters/calls that she took... also nothing more disturbing then a senior explaining with visual aids on how to do nasty unthinkable things in the bed.
  10. As free agents if they were so desirable then why hasn't any other team picked them up?
  11. What a weird conversation? You would think had the Jets paid out a 8 million dollar bonus that this would of been said in the news?
  12. If they can't win this week then I think he gets the axe. They are completely lost.
  13. https://www.gofundme.com/f/secure-gabes-future?utm_campaign Gabe has always been great to me and the kids whenever we have seen him at games and other events. Hopefully folks can donate and/or share the link to others.
  14. The love for the pre season unknown QB is still strong on these boards after so many years.
  15. Now if Jeffcoat comes back and then gets reinjured in the 2nd quarter... do we officially give up on him at that point?
  16. Seems like a better deal then when he traded away Laine with Roslovic for PLD.
  17. Much appreciated breakdown!
  18. My intrepretation of what he is trying to say is that he thinks the Bombers came out playing their A game and the Lions came out and played A+ and topped us. What I think most people on here are saying is that the Bombers gave an F or D level effort and the Lions played a clean but not spectacular game (B) which against our F level effort made it easy for them.

  20. As a casual follower of the NHL if true how does that deal look for us?
  21. Maybe they will pick up Prukop?
