  1. Possibly. Canucks have as many ROW's as Edmonton so the Jets, if on their game should probably stomp them. Regulation/Overtime Wins aka non shootout wins. Not sure i like the roster decisions tho going by what i've seen on the twitter machine Ladd,Little,Wheeler <-- that's Maurice relying too much on the vets Perreault,Scheif,Stafford <--- really you demote Ehlers? Brutal Check this out... brutal Ehlers,Burmi,Thorburn <--- WTF really Lowry,Copp,Thorburn <--- Maurices BF lowry bumped to the 4th line.
  2. I have no problems with the out of towners on this site, however, i do find it kind of funny that they try to convince people who do live in Winnipeg that the bomber crowds are older. Man, open your eyes, even if you aren't at the game, look at the TV when they show the crowd, it's 90 percent people 40 and under, hell, 30 and under, 25 and under even... The Bombers have no issues at all drawing the younger people out to games... AT ALL. I guess maybe go to a few games and you will see. IGF is full of younger people. Every game I've ever been 2 ,way more people closer to my age than to my dads age... and it's not even close. It really isn't close at all... and just for the record, I'm a younger person, I don't go to games to socialize and get **** faced. I go to watch the game.
  3. Doesn't hurt that Harris is also a Winnipeger. Not saying that's the reason you go after him, but it doesn't hurt at all. There's some strong marketing opportunities there with Harris for sure. He's also not that bad of a back, had over 1000 yards this year, is a good receiving running back too, helps the ratio, lots of pluses to going out and signing Harris... I've always heard rumors that he's wanted to play for the Bombers, that his heart is here in Winnipeg. Perhaps it's true. Say what you will but signing Harris definitely improves our Canadian content significantly.. He helps the ratio.. maybe no need for Bucknor or Hurl? Maybe you can go Wild at MLB,Bass at the other spot.... Frees up a Canadian spot elsewhere. I guess, perhaps the only downside is if he gets hurt, it messed up the ratio a bit but... I'd be ok with a Harris,Marshall type of combo. Too bad Coombs isn't a free agent too, Not saying i feel this way but a small part of me does, it would be nice to have some local talent on the team.
  4. That's what he's saying and i agree, Ladd is way easier to replace than Buff. However you have to look at it a little differently, are the Jets with Ladd,Buff,Toby etc, are they ever gonna be more than just a playoff bubble team? Will they ever realistically end up winning the stanley cup? If you are looking at it realistically, the answer is probably no. TUP said it before I think and I agreed, If the Jets win the cup, it will be Scheif or someone handing the cup off to Trouba or Ehlers... It won't be Ladd handing it off to Buff or whoever... It just won't happen. What the Jets should have done and it's easy to say this now but they should have went full rebuild when the team first got here, Trade guys like Buff,Toby,Ladd etc for futures or young players with potential.. Perhaps they are thinking of doing that now? One good season last year does not make anyone forget about the 3 or 4 maybe 5 if you count the Atlanta year(s) where this team with this core just wasn't good enough. Will they ever be good enough? It's a tough situation, is being average in the Central division good enough? It's not, you need to be way better than average... Jets are a game below .500 right now, the teams in front of them.. not even close to being even close to .500. Eventually, you have to move on from your older core and build the team around the younger guys like Scheif,Ehlers,Lowry, Trouba,Myers maybe... That's the future.. you can keep guys like Little and Wheeler around as i think they will age nicely, they also are on good contracts... But perhaps it is time for a semi rebuild of sorts.
  5. He was injured I believe
  6. Copp did too.
  7. I've been to 3 games so far. He looked good for a guy playing his first real year of pro. The lack of forward depth hurts the moose. The D is pretty decent
  8. Randle isn't a free agent
  9. Perreault career high is like 18 or something
  10. Every trade you propose is ridiculous and would never happen.
  11. Point totals don't tell the story. He's playing fine. You went to 1 game.
  12. Jets get screwed here. We are adding a first why. Toby plus Burmi probably gets close to that. Ladd re-signed gets more
  13. One season we barely got in and a few where it wasn't close
  14. He's also the guy on the team getting paid the most and is probably 2 small 4 the west. Might get a good return. Call it a mini rebuild since with the current core they are a .500 team. I'm down with a rebuild
  15. Think you are in the minority about the Wyatts. Need more stables not less
  16. Damn that didn't work well... Ladd Little Wheeler ?? Scheif Ehlers Perreault Lowry Stafford Who knows who is being shopped tho... Ladd? Buff? Burmi? Stafford even? Hard to say Apparently Enstrom is bring shopped. Interesting to see that. Gotta wonder if there are multiple trades being worked on. Enstrom for top 6 Buff or Ladd and Burmi for D man
  17. That core seems to be about 20000 or so people. If our stadium seated 24000 like Ottawa or Hamilton would ppl be talking about this ??
  18. Buff Burmi to Philly for Schenn Sanheim or Provorov and a 1st. I'd make that deal. I'd even take a cap dump like Luke Schenn to make it happen
  19. Buff Burmi probably being shopped. Maybe Ladd too. Let the B Schenn to Winnipeg speculation begin
  20. As for free agents... Andrew Harris made some interesting comment about needing to find out where his heart is.... perhaps it's in Winnipeg. That would be awesome and also help out our Canadian ratio
  21. I'd suspect banned for talking crap about the mods here. Saw him on TEP also. Saw him posting Penton's article about OC's and actually taking credit like he wrote it. Dude has snapped. Gone cwazy
  22. Morrissey isn't with the jets cuz they had like 9 guys on 1 way deals. Morrissey has been playing well. One bad game doesn't make a career. Man. The crapping on the young players is ridiculous
  23. Ya. They offended people who didn't know the younger flair. Good.
  24. Trouba Scheif Lowry +++
  25. Not convinced that PAV starts
