The Unknown Poster

Training Day was the height of her fame, wasnt it? And I think Fuller House is sort of retro. Since its on Netflix perhaps they can get more adult. Like they go out drinking and Stephanie wakes up in bed with a naked Kimmy and they spend the episode trying to figure out if they had sex. The life lesson that DJ imparts on her sister is not to drink that much and even though they didnt do it, Steph admits if she did like girls, Kimmy would be pretty cool at which time Kimmy plants a passionate kiss on her and says 'hey, you never know'. Fade to black.

Avatar sucked. I remember I saw it early and people asked me about it and I said it is worth seeing for the spectacle of it but its such a stupid film otherwise.

I wonder if it means no Hamonic. If they value their youth so much is an indication of signing Trouba long term, it would be hard to fit Hamonic in. There was also some discussion about the Captaincy. They said it will probably not be decided until next season, which I think makes sense. And that they dont want to change Captains every couple of years so the choices will come down to guys that will be long term fixtures. Ownership, management and players will have a say. So let's assume the obvious pick, Blake Wheeler. But if they wanted to go with a longer-term guy...I suppose that only leaves Scheif and Trouba. And I dont see that at this point.

Postma will get the regular spot which Im glad for. I think the Jets still had some faith in him last year when they re-signed him. So hopefully he can play strong.

Many, many of us predicted that this was a step back year. Its not a surprise to most.

Its a great initial angle because its clouded in intrigue. Because, as you say, the "right" call is Shane winning. However, its highly unlikely Shane beats the Undertaker. So its exactly the type of interest you want. I think it goes one of three ways. 1) Shane wins with outside help from faces who want to get rid of the authority (think, perhaps, Austin, Rock). 2) Shane Loses because it's the Undertaker (and either its played straight in the sense Shane loses and is gone and thats that or perhaps they have a really great performance by Shane, beaten and bloody, and Vince goes to Shane's side while Steph & Hunter get more obnoxious and it eventually leads to Vince vs Steph/Hunter angle which was the plan two years ago). 3). Shane and Steph are in on it from the beginning to get control from Vince. And I guess the other option is Shane wins when Vince cant take it anymore and begs Undertaker to stop killing him and Undertaker sacrifices himself. And in that scenario, its Vince having a heart. Shane winning requires him to be around for awhile after WrestleMania. They just came up with this angle three weeks ago and it was supposedly Shane's idea. WWE even released a statement to the media to say Shane is not back in the company and is only "playing a character on TV". Thats why they are careful to say he is trying to get control of RAW and not WWE because a few years back when they did an angle where Trump bought WWE, the stock price plummeted. Because the media is stupid. Shane's company "You on Demand" is sort of floundering and due to it being a Chinese company, Shane has stepped aside a lot as they've brought in more Chinese investment and corporate leadership. So there is the thought the timing is right for Shane to want to come back and take his place in the company. Supposedly when he left WWE, it was legitimately acrimonious, described as not quite a firing or resignation or forcing out but elements of all three. I think Shane saw Steph and Hunter gaining power and made his play for his "birthright" and forced Vince to choose and Vince made it clear Steph and Hunter would be trained to run the company. Saying that, Shane is very talented as an executive and negotiated many international TV deals for WWE. His department (New Media) didnt exist in WWE until he developed it and had the best morale of the company. He's well known as the most likeable of the family. And because of that his talents seem to be negotiating and making deals. So he'd be an asset especially as they try to open up more lines of distribution for the Network. But he'd have to accept his spot isnt in running WWE creative...that goes to Hunter. Very interesting angle. Perhaps more interesting behind the scenes. Plus there is a lot of time until WrestleMania for them to screw it up and Shane's "pop" to dissipate.

Not a good RAW tonight.

Calgary got a goalie. Backstrom

A lot of fans on twitter giving Chevy advice in March. Lend him your flying delorian in September please.

over payment.

I must have missed when 29 other teams offered him a contract

If his excuse is he was re-selling Jets tickets, he better hope he didnt mark them up at all. Its like when they got Al Capone for tax evasion because they couldnt get him on his big crimes or OJ goes away for "armed robbery" because everyone felt bad about the murder acquittal. Sammy finally goes down for excessive scalping.

I agree. I think they've been putting in far too many every year. Going to run out of headliners. Lots of mid carders though.

Erricson and Druin NOT traded

Everyone's hockey savior Stemp gone to Boston.

Glad they are including Jimmy Jam. The thought was they wouldnt like the optics of 2 out of 3 being dead so Jimmy gets in! Supposedly JBL (though if he's inducting Godfather this might change) and Jackie are rumoured to be in too.

Yeah thats very surprising!

I cant say I'd be too upset to see Sammy perp walked over this. CBC: Former Winnipeg mayor Sam Katz received thousands of dollars in personal cheques from Caspian Construction, the contractor at the centre of a police investigation into the construction of the city's new police headquarters, according to information to obtain a search warrant that was unsealed today. An estimated 10 to 12 cheques were issued by Caspian to Katz around 2013, according to an affidavit filed by RCMP Const. Marc Allard and based on statements from company employees. The affidavit was used to obtain a warrant to search Caspian's offices in December 2014. Allard said a senior accounting assistant who worked with Caspian for five years told investigators "the cheques were sporadic, sometimes in the amount of a few thousand." She was told by her superiors the cheques were payment for Winnipeg Jets tickets or concert tickets at the MTS Centre to share a box, Allard's affidavit said. There was one cheque issued to Katz for $30,000, according to the court documents, and police said the accounting assistant was advised it was because "the fees for the MTS box had come due." Another former accounting assistant employed by Caspian told police "there were a couple of cheques written to Katz during her employment with Caspian." She told police she entered a cheque to Katz in the accounting system for $4,000 or $6,000. She filed a copy of the cheque, which was stamped by Caspian owner Armik Babakhanians' signature, into a folder marked "K" for Katz, according to the document. The former accounting assistant said she discovered another cheque for Katz in this folder for around $6,000. The document noted that "both cheques were out of the Caspian Construction account and were personal cheques to Katz and not to a named company." When reached by CBC News on Monday, Katz said, "Obviously it appears I've sold off some seats and I don't know where the problem is there, but I appreciate you enlightening me, because no one ever talked to me." Katz said he has always been willing to speak to the RCMP about their investigation, but he was never contacted. 'There is no relationship,' says Katz Katz said he has never been involved in any business dealings with Caspian Construction or Armik Babakhanians. "There is no relationship. On many occasions, all sorts of people call me up for tickets for all sorts of stuff … concerts, et cetera," Katz said. "Someone would ask me, 'Can you get tickets for a sold-out event?' I would get them tickets and they would pay me back." Katz said numerous acquaintances would ask for tickets. He would put them on his credit card and they would pay him back, he added. He added that he does not a share a box at the MTS Centre with Babakhanians, but he said Babakhanians did buy a portion of the box at one time. "I have basically put together a scenario for Jets tickets, absolutely … it varies every year, who's in it," Katz said, adding that Babakhanians was one of several people that bought space in the box. Katz said he didn't feel it was necessary to disclose the relationship with Babakhanians to auditors who were examining the police headquarters project. Armik Babakhanian declined to comment on the search warrant documents and referred CBC to his lawyer. The lawyer has not yet responded. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

Arizona wanted a 1st round draft pick. But Bleakley looks like a nice pick up.

Im surprised. Some of those kids are pretty good. i figured they'd leave the good kids on the farm in case they accidentally win a game or two.

Stemp was so good for the Jets last year that exactly ZERO teams wanted to sign him. 'Nuff said. Perhaps the NHL should have a roster freeze for a week before deadline day! No one wants to wait til the last second anymore...

Edmonton gets the D-man they they always needed! Sort of a weird claim. He's a UFA so whats the point...
