So Maurice signs a 3yr extension on top of the 2 or 3 years he has left? Not a chance

Doubt it. Was pretty obvious Maurice wasn't happy with staffords play. If a line with thorburn gets 3rd line minutes... MO needs to Go

Hutch gets the start

Ya. Assault rifles are certainly not needed

Mr Nikita Kruschev plan coming to fruition Eastern Europe? Working on it. Asia is next.

Sure. But really what the heck do you know? Not as much as you like to think I'd imagine

We aren't in the room. We aren't in the offices. We really know sweet eff all. We pretend we know more but reality.... nope. I know ppl will consider it a fluff piece but it's a fluff piece with a point from a guy who is actually there.. in the offices in the room... I know he is their PR guy or whatever but... you know what. .. he knows more about the inner workings of this organization than all of us on here combined http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/12/09/blog-consistency-stability/

Why. I mean besides being that guy... I thought that was Terry Burgess gimmick tho.

Was a fan of days of our lives for a few years. Stefano was awesome

Our gun laws are much stricter here. For good reason. If America had stricter laws perhaps some of these crazy people can't have a gun. The problem with guns isn't the gun. It's the person... it's the heat of the moment anger or rage humans get at times. I don't know how you control it even. You don't. You certainly don't give that person easy access to guns that's for sure. Personally tho...I'm almost at the point where I don't really give 2 craps about the USA. It's seriously at the point where... it's just another day in the land of the free and the home of the so called brave. Take away their guns to and how brave would they be. Bunch of racist morons really. Seriously. This is a country that possibly elected Donald Frigging Trump to be president. I say possibly because until he's actually president... who really knows what happens

Watching the press conference earlier, Walters was asked about Nichols and his reported 450 000 ask... Walters said he's cautiously optimistic a deal will get done but said he has a plan B D C E in case pretty much. Tells me they won't give in to Nichols demands and will only sign him on their terms. Is Nichols good? Yeah. Is he worth 450 K? No.

You see the Rangers PK last night? quick and very very aggressive, on the Jets immediately. You see ours? Yeah, thats why our PK sucks. We just basically sit back and let them shoot at will. No aggressiveness at all.

The problem in todays world, is we all have social media like twitter and facebook where you get the people on there who spread BS about things, like this mcknight shooting, i was pretty convinced when i read that a witness said gasser stood over him and told him " i told you not to eff with me". Turns out it was BS but so many people on twitter were saying it and convinced it was true, it was hard not to believe, turns out that was a load of crap and just people making stuff up, I don't want to get in to the race issues at all but... it was made up by a person of color. Was i surprised when i discovered that? Not really unfortunately. Because unfortunately on social media, when you have these shootings and the victim is a person of color, unfortunately what happens is people make it about the color of the skin. It's not about that even, it's about guns, it's about standing your ground, it's about just stupidity really. Joe McKnight is dead because people are allowed to carry guns and shoot people multiple times for no real reason, because they feel "THREATENED". yup, and i'm not saying McKnight is completely innocent in all this, he's more than likely not, if he just ignored it all and drove away or whatever, didn't get out of his car, it wouldn't have happened. He'd be alive still. But.. social media, the whole point here, it's a problem, You have people on there from New York or far away from where the incident happened acting like they were there in New Orleans or whatever little hick town it happened in and pretty much spewing BS and a whole bunch of hate about something that really, they had no clue about.

For example???

I get that but how is him playing with Burmi and Thor, who are awful at pretty much everything helping him? It doesn't.

Islander fans aren't big fans of that signing at all. Good value but 5 years seems a little long.

Nah man, the team lost. Hutch will play Edmonton tho as Helle seems to struggle against them.

Well, Stafford does suck but he sucks less at RW, it's his preferred side, Mo has him playing LW tho so yeah he's struggling, it's really not about what side he plays tho, it's his lack of effort, he's a floater, irrelevant what side he is on. But Ducky, stafford did take a penalty, in the O zone at that... 100 plus feet away from Hutch... We have seen it many many times in the past also, dumb penalties, avoidable penalties really, LAZY penalties really at the worst time possible. It's a problem and something that has happened over and over and over and over and over and over during Maurices tenure with the Jets. Hutch was very good and will definitely play, my guess? against Edmonton.

I get this feeling that Hall won't be back... I think you will see a change there, I think Steinhauer if he doesn't go to Toronto is a possible. I also think Thorpe is a possibility but he might end up in Edmonton when they can Benevides.

I would think that is a very real possibility. Maurice saddled Ehlers last year with Thorburn also and he did pretty much nothing at all playing next to Thorburn, I don't get putting these offensive skill players with guys like Thor or Stafford for that matter who just totally drag down any line they are a part of.

Kind of a pointless comment don't you think??? But hey, message board fans know it all, for sure, we are the experts, let's just ignore what the players think....

He was also never really given the chance to play with anybody with any sort of skill tho, he was saddled on the 4th line with stars like Burmi and Thor, when he played pre-season and i know it's just pre-season but he played with Scheif and Wheeler and looked good. Regardless, it's the right decision to send him down cuz he needs to play.

How could you send him back after training camp after he looked as good as he did? You couldn't. Bottom Line, the guy was improving when he was playing, his D game was coming along, for some reason, Maurice decided not to play him anymore... Mark Scheifele in his first year with the Jets played a few games and was then sent back to Junior, Connor can't be sent to junior cuz he's from the NCAA... The Moose will be good for him, he needs to play. That's what this is all about, instead of watching or playing 4 minutes a game cuz MAURICE loves his struggling veterans, he will get to play 15 20 minutes a game with the Moose and develop his game even more and grow in to his body.

This is great news in my opinion and in the opinion of those that actually matter as a bunch of players have been saying it's a damn good thing. Some times, you need to just step back and not overthink these things, the players love playing for Oshea, that's quite apparent and the bottom line, in todays sporting world, you need a coach that players love to play for. The days of wooping ass and taking names in public is over, those coaches don't last anymore. Great news. Stability is the most important thing for sure. You look at every successful organization in the sporting world and what they have... stability at the top of the organization. Teams that change GM'S and Coaches every couple years, well, they are the ones who struggle the most.

He reminds me of Mark Scheifele his first year with the Jets, the talent is there, the skill is there, the work ethic is there... the body just isn't there yet. It's the right move for sure and long overdue, needs to play to develop. Now hopefully him and Roslovic play together and develop some more of that chemistry they had during rookie camp.
