unless your name is Giguere, Samuel....

TO's? This is the CFL though, anything can happen.

First order of business in turning around a franchise, get a product on the field people want to watch. No one wants to plunk down $50 to watch a bunch of losers. Unlike Winnipeg though, the fanbases in most cities won't sit through and tolerate mediocrity and just keep supporting the team anyway. They want to see winners. So fix the product on the field first.

and this is somewhat of an understatement...

what I find hilarious about this statement is that it is coming from the guy who at one time was telling us that we should be looking at drafting Poolparty ahead of Laine....

This guy doesn't seem to like the Jets very much... Montreal should take advantage of Winnipeg’s mistakes and trade for Nikolaj Ehlers The Jets are spiraling toward a directionless disaster, and Montreal should pounce. There does not seem to be much positive news on the front of re-signing Patrik Laine. The Finnish sniper heads into contract discussions this summer. While his situation is very unique, the lack of real news on this is slightly concerning, especially given his struggles this year for long stretches. Normally this could be downplayed as normal, but tough contract talks between the two sides and recent Jets moves cast a long shadow over this situation. Jacob Trouba was just traded to the New York Rangers for a 2019 first-round pick and bottom-pairing defenceman Neal Pionk. That’s it. Not only is it an underwhelming return for arguably the Jets’ most valuable asset, but according to Elliotte Friedman, other teams offered better deals, and this is what Kevin Cheveldayoff decided on. To cap all of this off, according to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, the Jets are also listening to offers on star winger Nikolaj Ehlers. Quite frankly, if the Winnipeg Jets are hell-bent on trading all of their best young assets away, Marc Bergevin should put in a call and see if he can’t wrest the Danish speedster away from Manitoba. Ehlers is one of the Jets’ best forwards, and one of the few who seemed to spark any life in the offence when he was in the lineup. A big part of Winnipeg’s slump came with the Danish winger on the IR after suffering an injury, and by the time he returned it seemed far too late to pull the ship back on course. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2019/6/19/18683217/nikolaj-ehlers-trade-rumours-montreal-canadiens-winnipeg-jets-kevin-cheveldayoff-marc-bergevin

Let's do like the Blues and focus on building a team all from one country. If we add Poolparty and that Looney guy we just signed makes it we are only 15 players away from making that happen! Maybe we can get Armia back while we are at it. Maybe the Preds want to salary dump Rinne?

Is that Brian Brohm?

do we have room for him right now anywhere?

or the players invite their wives and girlfriends to attend, and hope that they don't meet each other!

yeah I hated going to Lions games in the old Dome. Especially in the summer time. I went to a Twins and Vikings game in the old HH dome in Minneapolis and both games felt odd and somewhat uncomfortable too. Dome technology was definitely something borne of the 1970's. Now BC Place is awesome with the open roof. Totally different experience. Really enjoy going to games there now, and sitting with all 12 other fans.

an oldie gif, but a goodie...

shaking hand reaches for emergency bottle of CR kept in bottom drawer of desk......

My biggest take away from your post was that your avatar triggered my 2009 PTSD...

I think Trouba's karma credit card limit is just about maxed.

I like Ehlers a lot, but after watching his Sedin-like disappearing act in the playoffs two years in a row now, I am not going to be too upset if we get a bit tougher.

Carter may have been told that, but I doubt he would actually listen. Of course, it is week one, and there's a lot more weed yet to smoke.

I hope not as that's just bad business. I don't get it, why not let teams talk to Trouba and get a deal done? Instead we get this crap deal instead? Is Chevy slipping? Or is there more to the story?

I have that drive last year still queued up on my PVR from the Sask-Bomber playoff game, where the entire O-line is pushing the Sask D line down the field and Neufeld is expressing his love loudly for the manliness of the Sask defence. I can never get tired of that play.

Michael Bishop also had me believing too. That guy could play so well and crap so bed so spectacularly in the same drive. Just such a difference from where we are today.

Onterrio Smith was destined for the CFL Hall of Fame too. Too bad he showed up 100 pounds over weight.
