    D-bag Rider fans who called Chick greedy and accused him of disloyalty for not taking a pay cut are now tripping over themselves to praise him and praise themselves for loving and supporting him so much.
    Shameless.

    I'm happy for that Foster "kid".  If the Jets aren't going to put up 5 goals on him and actually win the game, this guy getting a faux shut-out in what will probably be his only NHL game is too good a story not to cheer for.

    In what way are they rushing Comrie?  By giving him a chance?  He's had 3 seasons in the AHL and he played one game for the Jets last season.  This year he has played three.  That's not rushing.  He got shelled... well too bad, that's part of becoming an NHL goalie and if he has the right mindset it will only make him better in the long run.

    I have been quite critical of Enstrom at times.  To play defence in the NHL at his size there is not much margin for error.  In the past there has been too much error.
    This season has been a lot better.  Even if he isn't physical, he has had sound body and stick positioning when defending.  He just hasn't been healthy.
    This season he's been our 2nd best defenceman on that side.  The Jets are better with him in the lineup and hopefully he's ready for the playoffs.

    Because others here have done exactly that when the latter's been in the lineup and the former has sat in the press box.
    A hat trick is a hat trick. And without it, the Jets probably don't win last night.
    The Jets did just about everything to give away that game. I'm amazed they managed to get the win.

    Unfortunately the title "greatest QB ever in CFL history" has already been claimed by Manziel, so CK will have to settle for beating Manziel's CFL passing records.  First completed pass should do it.
    Muamba capspace benefit aside, I would prefer he sign somewhere other than Montreal - I'm enjoying their dumpster-fireness of late.

    Every press conference is a PR move.  I'm not sure why people get weird about that abbreviation.  Maybe it's too close to PC?
    There's a lot being read into this that isn't there.  Seems pretty straight forward.  We made our best offer, they want more.  We won't/can't go higher and after 3 weeks they have made no move to go lower.  They haven't called us back.  We're assuming they're not interested, we're moving on.  And, just for comparison and perspective, the amount of money they wanted was more than what we're paying Harris, who is our highest paid Canadian.
    Good on Walters for politely and publicly telling Hardaway we're done with his nonsense.  If Muamba wanted to be in Montreal and he was getting a better offer from Montreal, he would have already signed there.  So at least one of those two things isn't the case.  Does Hardaway call us back now?  Maybe, but unlikely.  That means he has to be the one bringing flowers this time.  He won't want to lose face to do our deal, and he can't save face without Walters' help.  Another trip to the podium and some more PR.
     
    But enough reality, too boring.  Let's go back to the version where Muamba was screaming into the phone at Walters "YO MOTHERFARMER, MAKE ME THE HIGHEST PAID CANADIAN IN THE LEAGUE OR I'M SLITTING YOUR THROAT AND USING YOUR CORPSE FOR A DIAPER GENIE!", or something like that.

    Colin Kaepernik with extended workout for Als...  would love to see him sign with Montreal - would be great for the CFL
    And it would mean Als wouldn't have capspace for Muamba...

    I'm not saying Walters lied, he took a simple salary request and put it in context with A.H. to justify his position, which is a questionable tactic imo.   I'm sure Henoc could care less what Harris is earning as long as he gets paid the amount he thinks he is worth.

    There are those who think the Jets not tanking and still ending up with Patrik Laine would indicate otherwise.

    All I say is that Tanev is a perfect playoff guy. I bet who ever the Jets are going to play in the first round and on will not be huge fans of Tanev by the end of the series.

    Thats true but if you want to make personal attacks about someone's hockey knowledge as a result of an opinion shared by the veteran head coach, it sort of defeats your argument.  We can debate or discuss Tanev vs Roslo but its not a hockey knowledge thing.  I was just illustrating that your reply was unfair.

    Yes, they do. Enstrom is better statistically (Corsi and Fenwick) than Chiarot is this year.
