  1. Wow GM/Head Coach and DC... that's a full plate. Bound to fail a little bit.
  2. Good extension. Kid looked good when he finally got his chance. Pretty sure Picard will be released soon. Be funny if they had a video from Picard saying " I have been released from my contract".
  3. People are fooled by Stempniak because he is playing first line minutes and power play minutes on NJ. He wouldn't be doing that here.
  4. Maas ain't happening, he will be the ESKS head coach. Hell, Ottawa didn't even give us permission to speak with him.
  5. Semin on Waivers... probably an upgrade on Thorburn on the third line... Not sure how much of one tho...
  6. Well, funny thing there about the 60's and 70's even 90's and early 2000's Eventually D's all adapt so the O has to also but... there is only so much adapting an O can do... After all, It's basically throw the ball, catch the ball, or run the ball.... there are only so many different options one can come up with to do that. D? Well, again, only so much they can do too, the whole idea behind a D is to make tackles, stop the other team from scoring, you can only do so much... and once a team does something that works well, other teams copy it. It is what it is. Football has evolved over time. All sports have. Maybe except for Baseball and basketball.
  7. I'm not sure how Buck played on the field has any bearing on what type of coach he is. Look at Maas, he wasn't great, look at Brady, again not exactly all star calibre in terms of his play... Crandell, again... Khari even, Was ok but definitely did some dumb things too. Theres a difference between playing and coaching.
  8. Man, part of me feels like Jones is going to be a huge failure in Riderville, the other part says he won't be but... I can't shake this feeling that he's going to fail miserably.. He's being pimped so hard by guys like Lawless and Madani, saying he found all these great players, (i'm not even sure how many of those players he found) and pimping him so much.. that he's just bound to fail. He's a good head coach but i'm not sure if he's a good GM... Is he gonna be Head Coach/Gm/DC? cuz if so, that's a lot on his plate. Riders have lots of problems right now, their biggest is their lack of Canadian talent, I'm not sure that's fixable in 1` or 2 seasons.
  9. O'shea and Lapolice worked together in the past did they not? There is some history there... You don't think Lapo who lives here year round and O'shea who lives here year round don't hang out together? LOL.
  10. I don't mind either of them, It's fine.. Takes a bit getting used 2 but... I guess, It's better than the previous one... The CFL site at least.. I kind of liked the bombers old site better tho.
  11. My guess is Enstrom will be traded, he's the highest paid Jet and he just can't be making that kind of money. Enstrom will be moved this season or during the off-season, Buff will most likely be traded... Hamonic? I'm not sure a deal is there unless a 3rd team is involved, some talk LA has interest in Buff, perhaps they trade us a Muzzin type and then we move him to NYI for Hamonic but that's really the only way i see Hamonic ending up a JET... if a 3rd team is involved. Jets aren't gonna trade Trouba, doubt they will trade Myers, and Buff is probably as good as gone... You can't tie up half your capspace in D men, that's crazy talk really Scheif will get the long term deal, Trouba will get a bridge deal, Lowry? They will have a decision to make on him, Personally, I think he's probably a very good 4th liner but I'm not sure due to his lack of scoring ability if he's anything more than that.
  12. O'shea said when they fired MB that the new OC and himself will pick who the O assistants are.
  13. Maas will be Esks head coach. I'd imagine the bombers will get Jones Jackson or Lapolice. Preference is probably lapolice out of those 3. He's a good coordinator. Just not a good head coach. Sask O was pretty good with him in charge
  14. Can't win when you only score 1 goal
  15. Did the wins in the Central help us last year? We got in by 1 or 2 points. So yup. Every win counts. Bigger against your own division tho
  16. Hutch was good. Buy 2nd goal was S A W F T SAWFT
  17. Not sure exactly.
  18. Agreed frosty. Apparently you are allowed to do that in your own zone tho. What a moment tho. A woman beater in hull applauding kane.
  19. Jussi started. Says all you need to know. Moose aren't good. Accept it lol
  20. Finnish newspaper said earlier he'd be playing but have now said he won't be. Would love to see what he can do
  21. Go with Hutch... It's Chicago and a back to back, less than 24 hours after finishing the game last night.. Hutch needs to play. Some talk that Armia will be playing tonight, Peluso apparently not gonna be dressed.
  22. Man, it's unfortunate for sure but... what is known about concussions and brain injuries now a days, Well, it wasn't back then... It's crazy but all this concussion talk, it really is fairly new, I'm not sure if it's been even 10 years, Maybe but... I'm not even sure if it's been around for 10 years yet.. I feel for these guys but... man, the one thing i will say is... in sports, there are risks and i think you know the risks going in to it, If you don't think theres a risk playing a sport, well you are crazy... I played hockey and even soccer when i was younger and the one thing my parents asked me, even when i was younger, they said, you know, you could get hurt playing right? I said yeah, i know, but it's fun so whatever. I've had a couple concussions over the years and you know what, if i had to go back in time and play hockey or soccer again, i would. It's the risks you take, this is sad stuff but what can you do really when the side effects of concussions and brain injuries and things of that nature really weren't known back then and really only known until pretty much very recently. I mean, did some of these guys even wear helmets? I'm being serious, or were the helmets just made of leather or something, it wasn't like today that's for sure. Sports man, Fun stuff but no doubt, you can get hurt and everybody knows that, now more than ever. It's too bad that they didn't have the technology or the expertise 50 years ago....
  23. LOL. Peluso and Thorburn were taking rotating stupid moron selfish idiot penalties for a point last night, Peluso should sit tonight and Armia should dress, that was just a dumb dumb penalty he took, really it was just an awful shift... gives the puck away at the Caps blue line... gets mad, takes a dumb penalty that is totally avoidable, Caps score. Peluso should sit tonight... Thorburn? My god, how many penalties does he take a game, he should not be playing on the third line.. 4th line center? lol, Copp is the best player on that line by far... Armia is a winger, he's a RW actually. Today is the perfect time to play him and sit peluso... move thorburn to the 4th line Lowry,Copp,Thorburn Ehlers,Burmi,Armia or Armia,Burmi,Ehlers. Irrelevant really where the guy plays but it has to be one of the wings Time for Maurice to send a message to these plugs and that's what they are, they are plugs, they are non skilled plugs who basically, if they don't take a penalty, that's a good game for them.. If they do, and yesterday both took dumb dumb penalties, they should sit the next game. Send a message that these selfish penalties are unacceptable. And that's what those penalties were to Peluso especially and definitely the one to Thorburn near the Caps bench was just selfish and dumb, both those penalties cost the team. And the worst part about Peluso penalty and I suppose context is important but to the viewer at home on TV or in person at the game, they cut to peluso on the bench after the caps scored, after he got back to the bench, he sat down next to lowry and they were both showing laughing and smiling about something. Unacceptable. People talk about bomber players on the sidelines laughing and joking around when losing and say it's unacceptable... well, What Peluso and Lowry were doing after the Caps scored on Peluso's penalty, was ridiculous.
