Who cares as long as the thread relates to the topic. If it doesn't moderate the heck out of it to force relevancy

I think the bigger question about the injured list is are they counting from start of regular season or including preseason. 

Plan for him to be out the first 4 games of the regular season (through the July 7th game at home) at least. Gives him a month to heal. 

4 games plus 1 preseason is ALOT of playtime for our backups. They can get a ton of experience.

If we can come out of it 2-2 awesome. Anything better than that and we are laughing. 

 

If it's serious, there are options.
Trade for Masoli. (Ham)
Trade for Lulay (BC)
Trade for GLenn (Edm)
Bait Smilin Hank out of retirement (not a far fetched idea to be honest if he's still in shape. But TSN is probably paying him too much)
All are solid options. Question is what we have to give up.

Regardless of who is in at quarterback, I am still going to cheer my face off July 7th when I'm in town for a visit.
Give streveler a ton of reps on Friday, work the trade lines hard if neccessary and see what kind of rehab MN needs if he's out more than 2 weeks. 

We have a tough D, better than in years, we can build with a solid backup who has potential. Just will need the rest of the team to rally around and everyone pull their weight.

I'm less pissed about the money and more pissed if I know he's had the playbook.

Wouldn't surprise me if Chris Jones and him had an agreement to mess with things. Wouldn't put it past either of them.

Club should fight for this one, and take him to court and make him pay legal fees. 

3 hours and 11 minutes until the players hit the ice.
3 hours 16 minutes until someone botches the american anthem.
3 hours 21 minutes until the puck drops.
3 hours 30 minutes until we take the lead.
3 hours 35 minutes until I need a refill. 

May Game 7 be the last ******* time we see that stuping ******* catfish

Regardless of the outcome on Thursday, competitive hockey, and quality playoff hockey is back in Winnipeg. This team has tons to be proud of.
 
But the last thing we want is them having been up 3-2 and then shitting the bed... (like against the Oilers in Jets 1.0). Too many bad memories.
 
If we lose Thursday, I hope it's in Triple OT. If we win Thursday, I hope it's a slaughterhouse so I get a good nights sleep.

The good old Get-ladium! Had a great soundsystem for a small room back in the 90's. And nice cheap drinks on the weekends.

I doubt that's why they don't want to have it. Reality with fan forums in every city is you only get the die hards. Die hards don't sell tickets, a good football team and mass engagement do.
I live in Calgary. I see just as many stamps logos on cars as I do flames logos. People here love their team. They hate the choking, but eventually they know the stamps will take home a GC.  The bigger issue in my opinion is weather. The stadium is wide open... in bad or cold weather it really SUCKS sitting in that stadium. No much covering from wind. Or rain. Or snow. Or rider fans. Those asshats are everywhere. 
One thing I liked about the Stamps is how they run the Red and White club. Every member has assigned reps that come to the tables and ask for feedback every game. They engage and find out how the members business is doing, what they can do to increase engagement / involvement, referrals, etc. 
The argos can learn alot from other teams. I was living in Toronto from 2005 to 2011... the first few years fan support was great. In game entertainment was great, the team made an effort engage with fans, get them on the field after and create a "family" atmosphere. Something changed after 2007 when the 100th cup hangover was over and then it went downhill from there.

Here's my thought. 

Offense is improved. If the offense can do it's job... and score a ****-ton of points... and keep our D off the field as much as possible, that will help cover us some of our gaps. In turn, it will give the D confidence, 
If our D doesn't get support from the O, and gives up a ton of points... well... them there's the season. 
 
 

Ritchie was in decline.
2011 cup appearance
2012 WF loss
2013 WSF loss to riders. 
 
Berry - made progress.
2006 - 9-9 and ESF appearance
2007 - grey cup appearance
2008 - 8 and 10. fired. 
Oshea is on the right track with 80 percent of the players. Keep the core, supplement the defence and get rid of Hall and we have  a winner.

His first two years sucked, but we can argue he didn't have solid players to work with and was green.  
23 and 13 last two years is pretty solid. I will take that in a heartbeat. We were 3 close games away from hosting the west final. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

No we shod go to a top 6 make the playoffs. Reseed.
1 and 2 bye.
 
3vs6  4 vs 5
Winners play 1 and 2 (reseeded)
Top 2 play in the cup. 
None of this weaker division crap. 

I'm sad. I'm upset. But I think we've seen alot of progress this year.
One thing we need to be proud of --- the boys had grit all year long. We lost some close ones (by 1 point) and could have been first in the west had we not stunk up the last few weeks. 
We've come back being down huge. We haven't seen that kind of grit in years. 
We had big injuries hit at the worst possible time. Can you bet if Westerman, Adams and others were still on the roster we'd have the same result? Don't think so.
We need to fill a few gaps --- namely our DC, Secondary, and more depth at receiver, but no real blowing up the farm. We've made progress the last two y ears.
Yes the end result sucks. I will down another drink. And then count the days to next year.

At this point in the week, we are under 24 hours to game day.
I couldn't give a rats damn ass who plays now. 
Our team has heart. Our team is pissed off about last year in BC. 
Fired up.

Go out and beat the living snot out of those 2nd green tree hugging pansies and punch a ticket to Calgary for the 19th.
 

The funny thing about this season...
Wpg vs Toronto -- Medlock makes one of two missed FG's
Wpg vs BC --- we don't lose that game in BC giving up the lead in the last minute...
 
And we would be in first place in the west and not even having this conversation about coaches. 
Little things make the difference.
