Yeah, pretty sure the Argos wouldn't bring him in if he had to chance.
It's incredible how much knowledge and football expertise there is toiling away on this site, not earning a paycheque in the CFL. A real untapped resource.
I think what I find most interesting with Lapo pulling his name was the reason he did it, that he would have had to retain some existing Argo's staff (if the sources are in fact reliable).
I completely understand why a new Head Coach would want the ability to surround himself with the people he believes will bring the team success and match his coaching philosophy . However, another way to interpret that reason is the knock Lapo has had over the years, that knock being his control issues, as in this is how things will go with little iterations. If this knock is true he has to learn he doesn't always need to be right and he doesn't always need to be the smartest guy in the room.

Where ever the cap max hits, will ownership spend right to the top to keep our core intact? Cause they may have to with how the Maple Leafs are spending like drunken sailors.

I want to know more if there is a story here for sure. I don't like things getting ignored or swept under rug at all. I'd just like to see mainstream media pick it up and see if its a story. I'm not going either way on this, just not sure this is credible.
As much as I dislike how Jones coaches, I'm with you on credibility, something smells funny about the original source. Poorly written with no meat behind it.

Broissot is really smart with the puck. Good puck handling goaltender.

Why on earth would the the Jets collapse their coverage like that? Jeebus.

Our depth is being tested. Hopefully we are the Calgary Stampeders of the NHL.

What's interesting to me if indeed Nichols injury was more severe than the club was willing to share, is that they are saying an 70%-80% healthy Nichols puts us in a better position to win than a 100% healthy Streveler. Making the playoffs, winning west semi-final supports that argument?

In theory I agree. I was being tongue in cheek. But with injuries and poor play, Toby is an upgrade over what we have now. But hindsight is 20/20.
Jets will have to upgrade their D. Im not sure how. If Myers is perceived as having value, perhaps you can move him out for a younger player. Is there a well touted young D that is looming RFA and might not re-sign with their team? That player might be a target.
Or if Trouba is gone, and you can get TWO d in return, do it. But it seems unlikely (why would a team who values Trouba trade good D).
Niku has to get up to speed fast. And Kulikov being long term injured hasnt helped matters. If this was still the summer, a solid free agent D would be top of the list.
I don't think there is anyway he would consider coming back to the Jets though, I think he wasn't happy being a healthy scratch whether it was warranted or not.
And I know you were being tongue in cheek.

Team D is horrible and non existent. There comes a point when the team starts to tune the coach out and im wondering if we are seeing that now. With that being said, Shilling is awful and he and Myers were on the ice for several goals doing nothing...
Helle needs to make the save on the 3rd goal, smaller equipment playing a role here but.. He was and has been hung out to dry this season. Broissoit got lit up in St Louis so its not Helle exclusive.. Its the lack of team D altho.. When Chiarot or Shilling is in your top 4 and Maurice refuses to play the 4th line... Everybody else gets overplayed and tired and make dumb mistakes
I'm no goalie expert and nor an expert on what D system Jets employ but it appears to me that Helle plays pretty deep in his crease. If our D is faltering more than usual does Helle playing deep in his crease add to our struggles of late keeping the puck out of our net?

Helle's due for a shutout tonight. If you say it before the game, it's not a jinx.
In other words, bounce back game. ,:)
Ummm. #notevenclose

Yup. A win though?

Truly Petan's last stand?
Petan reminds me of how Eberle plays but way more inconsistent.

Petan Roslo and Apple owned the A as a line last year. When they were put together the Moose went 10 0 1.
Lets hope they can rekindle that at the NHL level.

Be interesting to see if the crowd cheers for Ottawa.
No idea which team will win, except I think it should be close.
It's impressive that with all so many injuries, Calgary still got to the Greycup.
Yup, they should have an award for best depth. Calgary wins hands down.

Yup... time to find a home for his fam here in town.
Who set Milt up? Get them on board for Biggie and the fam.
Since you raised his name, the BB Organization should hire this man to be our Ambassador to lure high end talent here.
Good investment I say. We have a road named after him for (insert word) sakes.

Much like Dervin from the War Amps video I'm sure all of the Import receivers they've brought in can "run", "jump" and probably "catch the ball" when thrown their way. The problem is this position has been chronically underused in LaPo's game-plan for years and the role is reduced to a secondary support position when it needs to be a primary position of attack. Until Nichols starts distributing the ball more equitably and habitually targets this receiver 4-6 times per game it's very difficult to determine whether a receiver like Thomkins skill level is actually inadequate. From observation I would guess that he's got all the tools but is rarely called upon to use them.
We love Dervin and his roar. Great analogy. :-)

Tonight, my son and I are going to the CFL awards event at Winspear here in Edmonton.
I plan on giving our Bomber players a big welcome cheer from the Morning Big Blue community sans the non Blue and Gold posters :-)
