  1. Seems like the biggest issue is its too long. 3rd hour routinely draws a poor number. First 2 not too bad. 3rd hour really brings it down. 3rd hour was also probably the best hour too so it's kind of interesting. If I'm vince and WWE I go to USA and tell them I want just 2 hours
  2. 10 is probably unofficially retired. I doubt you'd see someone wearing that. But you can't hang it in the rafters cuz he never played for this franchise
  3. So, it is okay for someone to wear Hawerchuk's number too?Yup it is. Do you not get that this team is the former thrashers and not the former jets. I'm all for honoring these legends of winnipeg hockey history but retiring their numbers when they never played for this franchise? Makes no sense. What if they were called the Winnipeg Falcons? ? Still think they should retire their numbers or is it cuz of the Jets name.
  4. No the Coyotes have that history. The Jets have the thrashers history. Hull means nothing to this version and quite honestly I'm not sure that most people in winnipeg even give a crap about Bobby Hull. The guy beat up women and is a terrible person. Why honor someone who has nothing to do with TNSE. It makes no sense. Starting to think they should have called them something other than the Jets so people actually understand they have nothing to do with the original. Hull Is a piece of crap. How do you retire a number of a guy who never played for your franchise. Makes no sense. If anything he can have a little plaque or whatever in the manitoba sports hall of fame or in the tunnels of MTS Centre. But he had nothing to do with this team ever. Bobby Hull.
  5. Name a veteran coach who isn't 70 who would come here. No to Higgins. There isn't one
  6. Arizona has that history. Hull means nothing to this version of the Jets. Plus he's a terrible person
  7. I'll say if after 5 games they have 6 or more of the possible 10 points. They are doing OK.
  8. BIG E is good but they promoted that match for 2.5 hours so I was half expecting Cesaro or even Bryan and they gave us BIG E. Big letdown. Guess Cena isn't that big of a draw. The golden boy drew the worst watched hour.
  9. Gonna take a few games if not weeks to see what they are all about.
  10. Yet the viewership was up. http://rajah.com/node/49248 That 3rd hour tho. Yikes. Was loaded and drew the worst number. Tells me 3 hours is too much.
  11. Really hard to say what happens this game or any other for a little while. Really don't know what to expect.
  12. I think it's too early to write off Richards or Morgan. Really when you look at the draft not many guys are starting or doing much this year.
  13. Lol pretty much. Think he had a catch for 7 yards that could have gone for 20 if he cut to the middle instead of going to the sidelines
  14. Was a stop gap and nothing more. Glad to see they released him as he did nothing.
  15. Yea F tsn. Front page of TSN Web page the Leafs send down Nylander and Brown who gives a ****?Toronto sports network. Pretty much my thoughts too.
  16. The hold back lots of tickets until the current block is sold. Guarantee there's more than 2,000 left. Much more. Could very well be but there are less blue tickets (available seats) on ticketmaster than less than a week ago. I doubt they would deliberately hold back more and more tickets week after week. Some of those tickets have been sold in the past 5 or so days.We will see blocks of tickets become available in the coming weeks not doubt, but I'm not sure it will be to the extent you believe. I'll believe ticket master over a poster on the site any day.
  17. People seriously go on about the most ridiculous things at times. Whats he supposed to say. That they suck and are done?
  18. TSN consensus has the Jets finishing 6th in the Central this year. Not sure I agree with that but... it means nothing
  19. They have come along way in a short time. That's for sure. I don't like Ladd little wheeler on the same line anymore. Wheeler and Scheif have good chemistry. My guess is LLW don't last long.
  20. Not a big thorburn fan but to say Raffl is better? based on what exactly? the 3 or 4 pre-season games he played? Crazy talk.
  21. Cuz Edmonton has a bunch of bottom pairing D men on their roster... What they lack is a legit number 1 or 2 for that matter D man.
  22. Guess he's on the 4th line to start... could be argued that 4th line was one of the best lines in a few games this pre-season Petan,Copp,Thorburn to start it looks like but... Wouldn't be surprised to see Petan move up the line up really soon.
  23. Not sure i really agree with that, Chicago isn't a huge team, Minny isn't either... Nashville? Not really, Colorado is built on speed, St Louis? maybe but they have some issues of their own... Size is somewhat over rated, it's how you play, Peluso is a big guy but... i wouldn't want him on the ice for more than 5 minutes a game... Perreault isn't a big guy but... he knows how to position himself and he's strong on the puck... Petan looked the same really, not a big guy at all but... puck possesion and hockey IQ go a long way... When you think about it... Ehlers,Petan,Copp (let's just throw him in there),Burmi They are replacing Frolik, not exactly known to be the toughest or biggest guy, just strong on the puck, good defenisvely... Stempniak, not a big guy at all... Tlusty, again not a big guy at all, Slater... sure he banged some bodies but that's because he was chasing after the puck lots when he was on the ice... It's all about puck possession and these fancy stats that i don't really care about too much... i still think the eye test is the best way to judge a player but... if you actually look at fancy stats like puck possession for example, Jets were top 5 last year... They had the puck more than they didn't for the most part... You add some skill to the lineup and hockey IQ and I wouldnt' be surprised if they were top 5 again this year.
