I was in Phoenix one time when I got into the car at about 9:30 AM and the announced on the radio was giving a weather report- he said it was 90sing degrees and she advising everyone who was going outside to get moving because it was going to be hot later. Staggering.

"Better" does not mean "good enough".

Some here already believe that.

Except that he renewed contracts for Walters and O'Shea despite 2-3 years of downward spiral that was not corrected.

There seems to be an intellectually incestuous relationship between Miller, Walters and O'Shea to the detriment of the team.

Not all the O-line's fault, but.....

Jaworski is kept on the active roster because of his sparkling conversational repartee.

Probably both.

Elliotte Friedman reveals Hurricanes' huge asking price for Alexander Nikishin Vincent Carbonneau September 28, 2026 (10:27 AM) The Hurricanes want something close to two first-round picks for Alexander Nikishin, according to Elliotte Friedman, and they still want Connor Hellebuyck too. "I think that Carolina wants something akin to two first rounders for Nikishin. Whether it's two first round picks or comparable talent," Friedman said on 32 Thoughts. He also said the Hurricanes are "still very very interested" in the Jets goalie. "I think they would like to get him." The defenseman has requested a trade and has permission to talk to some teams. A deal with the Rangers was in place before contract talks fell apart, with the player reportedly asking around five years at $9 million per season. He's coming off 33 points and a plus-18 in his first full NHL season. So is two firsts a fair price? Elliotte Friedman reveals Hurricanes' plan for Nikishin and HellebuyckIt's steep, but not crazy. Two firsts for a 24-year-old defenseman who just played 17 games in a Cup run is a number the Hurricanes can defend. The catch is the contract. Any team paying that price also has to meet the ask that reportedly sank the Rangers deal, and Friedman says the Blues were "legitimately interested" too. Nikishin put up 56 points for SKA St. Petersburg in 2023-24 before coming over. Carolina's goalie picture is already crowded. The Hurricanes just gave Pyotr Kochetkov a two-year extension worth $3.95 million a season. Hellebuyck carries an $8,500,000 cap hit, and Friedman doesn't expect him to report for the start of the season. The Jets suspended him September 17. Friedman has also floated a three-way framework, with Nikishin possibly helping pull off a Hellebuyck deal. It's like trading in your car and buying a new one on the same afternoon. Both deals have to close, and neither dealer cares about your schedule. The Hurricanes open Tuesday at home against Florida, while the Jets host Boston on October 2. Two firsts is the sticker price. Whether anyone pays it before Carolina drops the puck Tuesday is the next domino in this whole saga.

Do any of them play center? Doesn't block? He ought to fit right in.

By the end of the first quarter.

From what I understand it's a Workers Comp issue in Manitoba. Players can't sue. With WCB, I believe there is no limitation about suing for negligent or malicious actions on the part of the employer.

He runs well and works cheap.

I suggest that the Bombers have had a center (Eli) who was better than Elsbury or his predecessor, but for reasons known only to God, he is being wasted.

I assume you mean that the OC change will happen, if it does, for next season. Sure as spit nothing is going to change this season.

Disagree that fans have been spoiled- we've seen shitty Bomber teams and good ones, and now we know that some relatively easy changes could restore the team to being competitive, and, worst of all, there is every evidence that its not going to happen.

Its probably going to take a half-million dollar award in a lawsuit to smarten certain people up.

We've been at the same position for the past three years. Players have changed, but the problems are consistent and persistent. That leaves the coaching and management. To beat a dead horse, I could not believe that both the coaches and the general manager were renewed for another three years. The fans keep coming out large numbers, but that will not continue if/when the team continues to spiral downward and players start to give up. Finishing the season with the team foundering will mean season ticket holders will be a lot harder to re-sign. All bad news, particularly with the Stamps showing signs of life.

And another probable loss due to inept coaching. Pretty soon the players will give up and start mailing it in.

Khari?

Those two missed FGs made a big difference.

Him and thousands of Bomber fans.

A fitting end to the game.
