If his performance drops off it doesn't matter because he gave us at minimum 2 grey cups in 5 seasons. MINIMUM. Guy is a legend no matter what happens here on out.
"Since then all he’s done is play at a high level for Saskatchewan when healthy, be prematurely pushed out the Green and White door for an inferior passer,"

Some interesting stuff in here.... 
 

Man, back handed compliment ...no surprise coming from Mullinder though.

Was not just Stanley. DeMelo served up a nice pizza. Stars guy almost bought it for $5.

New Jets, same as the old Jets. 

The Jets have plenty of time to get their act together

Dallas is a good team and are playing very well.  We knew it would take some time to break the Jets of some old bad habits and get fully in sync with the new systems.
How many point shots have we taken?  One?  That needs to change.  Two of Dallas’ goals have come from there… Just sayin’.

The NYR game could have been like this Dallas game.  There are some positives though.  Not having Bowness behind the bench has probably affected the players and they need that consistent voice telling them to play his way.  Anyways next up is the defending champs.

Could be worse. Vancouver has blown 3 multi-goal leads already this year and held a player’s only meeting after their loss tonight, one week into the season. 

We can beat Vegas i think.

Bombers coach Mike O’Shea was salty after the loss, even though it didn’t cost anything in the big picture.
“I hate losing and we lost,” O’Shea said. “I liked the way we battled, I liked the way we gave ourselves a chance at the end, but frick, we came here prepared to win a football game and it didn’t work out. It stinks.”

Yeah, I had reconstructive surgery on both my feet in 2012 & 2015 due to severe arthritis. I had hardware in both feet. My left foot still has hardware but they were taken out from my right foot after 9 months. My feet may have been fixed surgically but they were never the same. I have no more pain but I have to use a cane to walk because my feet don't work properly as bones have been fused. I have balance issues. I'm 67 & my athletic days are long gone but if I had these surgeries at age 27, I'd have been devastated.

Bowness out. He's got covid. Arniel coaching tonight 
 
Breaking News 

Toninato cleared waivers. Moose might get some crowds this year. They are kinda stacked 
The system is definitely not just for the forwards. In what world... 
If you've paid attention to bowness at all you'd know that the D is a huge part of the new system. Our D was like 2nd or 3rd worst last year in terms of scoring goals... believe I heard 24 goals by the D last year and Josh had half. The D will be activated this year and that requires the forwards to back them up. 

Chara was a hell of alot nastier and  better positioned than Stanley even early in his hockey development, the only similarity is the height imo, but we will see.

When you are the team they start the backup with...not a good sign. Hopefully we make em regret it.

That's the plan, which Bowness alluded to yesterday. It's probably going to take time to break old habits but it sounds like the team has bought into what he's selling.
The forward lines back-checking, plugging up lanes, and collapsing to the net much more consistently should only help the blue liners with their game. And the goalie, too.

No, this year, it looks like might actually have a defensive structure, where they will try to prevent shots on goal. It's wild but I'm intrigued. 

Given up is kinda not the word I would choose. Yes Isles traded him but that was after 3 seasons playing top 6 and he left Ottawa as UFA. He could have signed there. He pulled a Myers. 
 
Crazy looking back Ottawa could only afford one $6m dman. Jets have 3 guys at 6m.
