We are getting goalied tonight, plain and simple.

I agree. But where we differ is in how he should develop. Right now, Forbert and his shot blocks and Benn and his simple game are better than Heinola’s future upside. And we need to be worried about right now with the playoffs looming. If the Jets can find a big physical defenceman to complement Morrissey like Trouba did, then maybe Stanley can pair with Pionk to continue his growth, and find a steady stay at home veteran who can protect Heinola or Samberg in limited minutes, that is how I would approach it. Heinola is the future, not the present.

Yea our d needs to be changed. But making a 20 year old your top 2 defenceman is a good way to ruin him. Stanley has shown the value of letting a raw player develop in the minors for a few years and then easing him in, and Morrissey has also shown the danger of putting too much on the shoulders of a young blue liner too soon.

Coach’s salaries are not part of the cap, and we have the richest owner in the NHL.

Neither do I.

Benn and Forbert don’t seem to be given any rope by those who pine for Heinola, so applying that logic it would only be fair to hold him to the same standard. Of course I exaggerate, but the point is made that around here the most popular guy is always the back-up QB type. And as mistakes go, that decision by him was pretty brutal. The classic dictionary definition of “rookie mistake”.

Well, all those who wanted Stanley and Heinola back on defence instead of the more experienced guys, be careful what you wish for. Heinola already -2 and directly responsible for the first goal. But at least Connor got off the schneide.

Or a global player initiative to open the league up to foreign markets? Don’t look now, but you are embracing the Ambrosie vision to find new revenue sources and parroting what he has been saying about needing a new business model for the CFL.

Me too.

Like clouds in the sky or kids crossing his lawn.

There is a boatload of Grey Cup merchandise sitting in the Bomber store right now. The winning team puts out championship gear every year.

This is the right place for it.....unless you want to put it In the NFL thread on the CFL page. 😁

As was said on the radio today, hard to take the threats about enforcing fines and restrictions seriously when 500 people show up at the Forks for an anti-mask rally and only 20 people get ticketed.

Just heard the some thing from an inside source. Expect school closures and a hard shutdown.

It isn’t as good. Not close. But if you compare every Jets’ team to the standard set by the 2018 bunch you are in for a lifetime of disappointment. I have said it before a few times, a season like that comes around maybe once every 30 years for a team. That team was better than the 2019 Blues’ Cup Champion team, probably better than the Vegas team that out-goalied us in the Conference Finals that year, and certainly better than the Dallas team that went to the Finals last year. You can’t fairly measure every iteration of a team against the best version ever and simply declare the current version a failure. If that was the case, then the 2019 Bombers did not measure up to the 2001 juggernaut.

Maybe they are in the midst of another photo shoot.

What benefits them right now is to create fear and division to gain a base. Their entire platform is not based on policy but on the spin that “democrats/liberalism/socialism is evil” so it doesn’t matter if what Dems are pushing now is exactly what Republicans wanted before, so long as the Dems are in favour of it, the GQP is opposed. If you strapped down every Republican in the Senate or Congress and injected them with truth serum I would wager that less than a half dozen truly believe the election was stolen. The rest just know peddling the lie keeps the base engaged and is their best (only?) way not to get steamrolled by the larger liberal base come election time. All that matters is staying in power, that is the true platform.

And all are illegal immigrants wearing tan suits who are secret crisis actors to fake a school shooting so they can take away our guns.

A ballot printed off of Hunter’s laptop, which was purchased for him by George Soros from a pizza place fronting a child sex trafficking ring. Did we miss anything?

We took Demski and Willie J from there. I’m OK with taking talent, don’t get hung up on where they come from.

Just a reminder to all who have judged the entire Jets’ season on the last 7 games alone - a win over Calgary tomorrow in any fashion and we guarantee we finish ahead of the Flames. If Vancouver loses in regulation tonight, that win tomorrow will clinch a playoff spot.

Why do I see a headline in our future “school shooting as student guns down anti-vax protester who who harassing them over mask wearing”?

Just a minor detail, but 40’x 60’ is 2400 square feet, not 3600. You would kind of hope that a “news” outlet could get the basic math right. But then again Trump has always been about exaggeration.

Touché. When did this thread topic spin off the rails?
