    There isnt much to learn. There are 11 sapphires for the 11 grey cups. The diamonds just fill in the rest. The cool part is there is a unique inscription for everyone inside the ring that is different for each player. Thought that was a nice touch. 

    You said "there isn't much to learn", then list two things. Good job contradicting yourself. 😜

    And my diamonds reference was just an example. I never said they definitely had meaning.

    really? he owned that?! I guess I did go there once

    I don't think Don Cherry was involved in the Grapes restaurants that were at Kenaston & Grant, on Main near York, on Pembina (Pier 7), etc. His restaurants were called "Don Cherry's Grill" or something like that.

    I'm starting to go nuts hearing commercial after commercial saying. "We're in this together". Or, "We're here for you". No, they're not.  They're saying that in hopes I'll buy something from them.

    I look forward to when most commercials don't start with "In these uncertain times...".

    They say this, but no one has the balls to actually enforce it.

    Kind of ironic because people from MB heading to NWO would be the easiest to enforce (only one road in).

    Let’s put it this way if it draws that consistently it’s a home run.  If it has the expected drops offs then it’s not.  

    I watched a little and also found the football itself to be meh. It seems like the things most people are talking about in a positive way are the open mic between the refs and replay booth and the fact that all players have coaches mics in their helmets. Those don't really seem like things that would draw big TV audiences. Let's see what the numbers are after Week 3.

    To me one of the most frustrating things is how sloppy the Jets are with the puck, especially in their own end. So often you see someone stop the puck just inside our blue line and then either try to make a blind pass in the middle or send it back in instead of chipping it out to neutral ice. Even if you turn it over at that point it should temporarily relieve some pressure and might even allow for a line change if needed.

    Going to put on my "Get off my lawn!" old man hat for a second:

    I am starting to find the Jets on TSN broadcasts difficult to watch. Not because they're playing like crap, but because whoever is directing it has decided to use all of the available camera angles at all the wrong times during the game. To me the centre ice-facing the benches end to end shot is best for live play. Save the corner handheld camera, or the above the net camera,  or the camera up in the rafters, or the ice level behind the goal camera for the replays. Someone is coming out of the penalty box or the goalie is getting pulled? Great. Just tell me that, I don't need to see them skating over to the bench while the play is going on. 

    OK, rant over. And for the record I have felt this way for a while but it just seems to be getting worse.

    I need to go back and look at Streveler's snaps -- don't recall even one play where we used sideways motion to widen the D and make some room for him to run inside.  And others in the game day thread noted that Harris wasn't in the backfield for a lot of those plays, so no option play potential there. My impression was that Lapo hung second-biggest Chris out to dry on Sunday.

    Two words... Jet Sweep. In both playoff games we've faked that 99% of the time and then run Streveler up the gut with mixed success, but there is usually tons of room on the outside if we actually decide to hand the ball off.
