Goalie

Sisco might not be the number 1 priority but... he's a canadian player with some experience who might just need a change of scenery to help out his career, maybe the pressure of playing in sask was too much for him, who knows. But i wouldn't hate it if he signed here, worst case he's TCF, best case, he steps up, shows why he was a higher draft pick and realizes that potential here.

These comments don't really surprise me, I find them to be a bit sad tho, i mean, it's pretty obvious banks wasn't good enough anymore, he was asked to play a backup role and decided to go home. It's too bad he comes across as so bitter but i guess if my career ended the same way his did, i might be a bit bitter myself. However, the difference there i think would be, maybe i'd go home and reflect a bit more and realize that maybe just maybe the reason i wasn't starting anymore was because i wasn't as good as i used to be. Must be tough for these guys who are told their entire lives how good and great they are to come to the realization that the game has passed them by. As for the ETCH comments, whatever really. Aren't these the type of comments one would expect from a guy who was basically told he's not good enough anymore to start? Wally thought he wasn't good enough anymore, ETCH or whoever on the bombers thought the same.

Thought it might be one but on replay, you can see KANE was kind of head hunting a bit there, kane got rocked pretty cleanly earlier in that shift and looked pretty pissed about it, saw a guy with his back turned, numbers right there, nailed him. That's suspension worthy. Does seem to be some odd "sentences" handed out tho, not very consistent from quintal or whoever is in charge, but.. it definitely was suspension worthy. As for the other stuff KANE does, he does come across as an attention seeking look at me kind of person. Is that a bad thing? who am i to say, i personally don't care what he does off the ice as long as it doesn't become a distraction to the team, i think he does however need to mature, and i think not being in the room and just being a fan, i'd rather Kanes attention seeking be scoring a goal or well, i'd rather that attention he seeks be from his on ice play, not his off ice stuff.

How did they miss the FORKS lol Good game tho, Jets dominated the last 45 minutes for sure. Honestly didn't notice KANE missing from the line-up. Team actually looked better without him this game. Hutch stood tall when he had too. Looks like we may have 2 pretty good goalies this season.

Vatanen should have got a penalty for being the third man in, not sure how that is missed.

DUMB DUMB hit by kane, 5 and a game, funny tho cuz the guy nailed scheifele earlier in the game on the same type of hit and no call. Whatever but DUMB DUMB hit, probably suspension worthy too, 1 game.

Gonna say it, happy kane is hitting the net this game but he needs to start scoring.

Definitely a make up call for sure, couple missed calls today tho. Scheif got hit from behind pretty good, should have been boarding and belesky dropping his gloves and not getting a penalty for that is a head scratcher.

Jets hanging in there with one o the best teams in the league, if not the best, top 3 for sure.

Early 2nd butt Jets dominating pretty much. Pav with the huuuge glove save and seconds later the captain makes it happen and it's 2-1 Jets.

GO JETS GO. 13-5-4 since starting the season 1-4.

no buff means trouba and stuart play like 45 minutes a game for 4 weeks or so.

what 2 bodies would you get back? 2 guys who combined are equal to the guy you are giving up? or 2 guys who are better than the guy you are giving up? The only way you trade buff, and i don't really think you do, his versatility is huge, but.... the only way you do trade him is if someone is willing to overpay and by that i mean top 6 forward, maybe top 4 d man and probably a draft pick, why? because YOU don't have to trade BUFF.. it's not like buff isn't enjoying himself here, it's not like the guy doesn't like being less than a days drive from home, heck, if he wanted too, he could go home tomorrow and be back the same day DRIVING... the only way you trade guys like buff is for a massive overpayment cuz you ain't getting guys of his equal value or versatility back. Buff is very valuable to us, you know what, if we didn't have buff right now, holy crap, it's trouba stuart and a bunch of AHL call ups on the back end.

hmm the perception seems to be the bombers have done nothing... but they have announced several signings and extensions already. Anderson,Neufeld, Leggett soon to be extended and i'm sure i'm missing one or 2, i have been away for a while, but... regardless, the team has made several announcements already. I dunno but it seems to me every off-season, these types of topics come around, it's like people forget how long the off-season is i guess and if we aren't making announcements every day or other day, we aren't doing anything, isn't tomorrow some try-out in vegas? Just cuz they aren't announcing things, don't mean nothing is being done. Really don't care what BC or SASK or whoever else does, it's irrelevant really... Benevides fired? big deal, Cortez won't be back in SASK? oh well, he ain't coming here... that's all i know really. Don't really get why some really say the same stuff every off-season, haven't posted here long really, not years and years, but.. i have lurked and posted elsewhere and what i generally see in the off-season on these fan boards is the same stuff every year. From the same usernames even. Whatever i guess but really several of these topics about not doing this that or the other thing immediately after the season ended could probably be found in the archives section of these forums, because it's the same stuff every year.

Following Leggett on twitter, it's pretty obvious the guy has some crazy love for winnipeg. All he talks about, ok not all but quite a few of his tweets he does send out relates to winnipeg and how much he loves it here and even how he wishes he would have stayed here during the off-season. As for Teague, for a guy that wasn't supposed to start or really wasn't supposed to do much, the guy exceeded expectations big time, anyone who thinks otherwise about Teague is just being argumentative for the sake of it.

The only way you trade Buff is if he doesn't want to be here and from all accounts, that is not the case. From what i've heard, he enjoys playing here, he likes being 3 or 4 hours from home, he enjoys playing in this market, he's having a good time out there, ever been to a practice? if not, should go, the guy having the best time is buff, the guy loves it here... big fisherman too, enjoys the ice fishing too, the guy is a good player and a difference maker, i wouldn't trade him and the only way i do is if he wants to be traded which i don't really think he does. Want to talk about trading guys? I'd honestly, probably not now but in the off-season, i'd look at moving Kane and Enstrom. As for picking up brunner, nobody did so what does that tell you.

Hutch makes the big save. I think its time to give him more starts. Hutch is pretty much an NHL rookie. I like how they have handled him but right now he is hot and pav who was hot earlier is not.

No mention of the Russian coach Tikhonov who passed away also? RIP 2 hockey legends.

Not surprised. Hasn't done much at all. -4 too on the season. Not good for a 4th liner to be minus 4. As for Thorburn,not a fan but fact is he's a locker room leader and very good with the young guys. Last few games the 4th line has looked good. Not a fan but constantly going on about thorburn and his 5 minutes of ice time is ridiculous.

my teacher used to date joey gregorish and we got to appear on skittle bits a couple times.

****. Fumble OVER

Oh man, Yantz on fire.

Bisons on the move.

HUUUUUGE punt. wow. Bisons gonna have to drive the field to win.

kicked the fg. interesting. 29-24. 5 point game with about 2 minutes left
