2 regulation wins against a division opponent. Couldn't ask for more. Granted I doubt we would have the same result if they were healthy and we didn't have stellar goaltending each time but you can only beat the team in front of you. 2nd in the central!

First game I went to of the year. Couldn't be happier. Murray couldn't stop a beach ball last night. It was glorious

Oh we were talking about the West semi

Our offense strung together like 4 consecutive two and outs in the last 10 minutes of the 4th. the defense isn't wholly to blame. At all

That's one thing I've noticed too. He really ramps up the heat every year in playoffs. Can't say the same thing about Lapo though

Probably not. The likelihood of bringing in new coaches and management and IMPROVING on that record are very low. Now the Bombers may regress next year to 10-8 or even 9-9, but franchise stability isn't something you throw away overnight.

wut. Tom higgins got fired after 9-9 (did he even get fired then, or just walk away from coaching?) fired again after 7-10-1, then fired again after starting off 3-5

Management and coaches don't get fired after an 11 win season. Period. Coordinators may be juggled around, but that's definitely the extent.

We clinch second

Whoa, I'm a little surprised honestly. JFG is exactly the type of sandpaper guy O'shea loves.

Yeah but on the other side of the coin lemieux 100% deserved a penalty for that hit from behind moments before

Worst power play in the league. 5,6 weak shots on 6 power plays. How can Maurice possibly have a job after this?

We could win this game and Maurice still has to be fired tomorrow. 0 for ****ing 5 on the PP with pretty much 0 any actual scoring chances. Absolute abomination

Pathetic. Also PP is totally clueless again tonight. Whenever they get their first PP we're going to be pinned in our end for 2 mins. We get 1 weak shot on net in 6 minutes

Yup, that's exactly what I said! As a bomber fan I certainly also wish that we had lost those other 11 games too

"Must win" might be the most overused term on this board. At this point we have one "must win" game: and that's not for another 3 weeks.

lol, firings after back to back 11+ win seasons? not a chance.

Yeah I tend to agree as well. Panic is an overstatement because 2 games to lock up a home playoff game is a pretty good situation, never mind being able to clinch with one edmonton loss over two games. But a loss will start raising more eyebrows.

Mason gets the start I assume? They pushed our **** in last game and are going to do it again.

Walking out of pittsburgh with a point? I'm not mad. Helle far and away the jets best player again. Scheif was looking for pass first all night. It was painful seeing him walk in with 20 seconds left and not pulling the trigger. Laine, ehlers - bad Connor- top 6 player night in night out. Bottom 6- garbage again but at least didn't get scored on and Hendricks didn't look awful. If we can actually bury half of our chances we should be okay.

Back to back 11 + win seasons and people are still suicidal. At least give the coordinators a chance to turn up the heat in playoffs and then reevaluate.

Cheveldayoff spotted at the bell center catching the habs-panthers game. Quick, everyone speculate something!!!

Don't know who to cheer for. If Edmonton wins maybe the pens are on a bit of a skid and that bodes well for us when we play them. But much more likely: the pens stomp the oilers without must resistance. Which is also okay by me because the cup parade is over that oilers fans and media have made up and shoved down everyone's throats. Season is 10% over and the oilers already have over 20% of the regulation losses they had last year

True. 250k-275k for Carter? No way. But one thing going for the riders is I don't see too much of a demand. Bombers: no way oshea wants him. Edmonton: too many high prices receivers as is. Calgary: no way they're going to be bring in a guy with a big attitude to rock their boat. BC: hard to say. Maybe. Dark horse to put in a bid. Montreal: he's banished. Ottawa: possible, but doubtful. Toronto: Trestman won't want him. Hamilton: they tried hiring a rapist so actually they'll probably make a big push for him. So really it's down to 2, 3 teams. Carter won't have that much bargaining power

You gotta assume Carter will be re-signed though, right?
