Credit to Bomber Marketing where it is due
"We've got it Going On' was the worst and it's not close. That was embarrassing. "Unfinished Business" sucks b/c it's used against us now, but it wasn't a terrible idea at the time.

Frolik Conundrum
Perreault has never played more than 70 games in a season. It's not just a Winnipeg thing for him.

Talbot to Oilers. What a great offseason for them.

Craig Custance @CraigCustance 1m1 minute ago Chuck Fletcher went out of his way to congratulate Kevin Cheveldayoff on the draft floor for the two players the Jets drafted in 1st round. Nice to hear that other GMs think Chevy did a good job.

I'd like him too, but I don't think he'll get past Boston's three picks.

They better be able to re-sign him for the price they paid to get him.

Bruins are apparently eating close to 50% of Lucic's salary. Gotta think the plan for Jones is another trade.

I assume Burnett & Tyler are the two guys sitting out?

I don't find the Rider lineup all that scary. Good DL, but otherwise it seems a little meh to me. Their receivers and rbs look underwhelming.

Way too much. That's what you call a rapin' right there...hell, any 2 of those 3 is too much.... Just the picks from us would be a rapin' going the other way. It would never be enough.

CFL Opening Week - OTT at MTL / HAM at CGY / EDM at TOR
I'd love to know what Hefney said to deserve a penalty that late in a game. Even more questionable when you consider the guy chirping an injured player got away without one.

Hefney looks like he's rediscovered how to play football. ...and Burris is terrible.

Kohlert out? Bastien starting?
In this thread, I find that hard to believe.

2015 NHL Draft And Trade Rumours
As a Leafs fan, I'd be ecstatic. Get him the hell outta town and send him to a team I despise, so much the better. #LetItBeSo As a Leafs fan, your opinion is worthless. You've already proven you don't understand hockey.

2015 NHL Draft And Trade Rumours
The rumour I saw was Rychel, Anisimov, & the 8th overall pick.

Also saw a tweet from Damien Cox that says the Pens are after Kessel. As a Pens fan, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It would be interesting to see what he could do with a world class centre, but he makes a lot of money on a team where money's tight and doesn't seem like a "team first" kind of guy.

Sporting News thinks the Jets are in heavy for the #3 pick. Arizona GM said a team with two 1st rounds offered them both, plus a player, for that pick. SN is pretty certain that's the Jets.

Coombs might be on that list soon.

Frolik Conundrum
Yes. And then next year? "Well Ladd isn't really a #1 LW and he's going to want to be paid like one so we better get rid of him." And the year after that -- "Well Perreault isn't a #2 C/LW and he's going to want to be paid like one so we better get rid of him." And so on, and so on. I mean, who exactly are you comparing Frolik to when you say he's a sub-par 2RW? Look around the league and you might be surprised by who is passing for a #2 RW on other teams. We could do a lot worse. And Burmi is a lot worse, if that's the solution. You can't look at Chicago and say "Well player X wouldn't be a second liner on Chicago so we shouldn't pay him like a second liner." No, I'd be prepared to pay Ladd more then I am Frolik. As for Perreault,if he is looking for 5 - 6M AAV, then I'm not sure I would take him at that price either. I'd give Perreault $5M per based on what he showed last season. I think he's a better player than Frolik, he just needs to show that he can stay healthy.

Does it? [Rogers - MacMillan - Gott - Deane - Kelly] seems like an OK line to me. Agreed. You beat me to this post. I thought their D was ok last season. If they can get even average production from their offense they should be in decent shape. Mind you, they did trade away their best player on D, so who knows...

Why is Bradshaw your favourite? For feud, how about Hillbilly Jim, Little Beaver, & Haiti Kid vs King Kong Bundy, Lord Littlebrook, & Little Tokyo?

That Shockmaster bit was terrible. Another for the terrible gimmick list is Isaac Yankem, which was Kane dressed up as an evil dentist.

Old time rasslin'
These old time wrestlers are when I stopped watching wrestling: 1. Fav Wrestler: If you mean technically, it's gotta be Ricky Steamboat. Just favourite overall was Hogan. I was a massive Hulkamaniac as a kid. 2. Fav. Character: Undertaker 3. Fav. Face: Hulk Hogan 4. Fav. Heel: All of NWO (when it started) & Honky Tonk Man. Manager was unquestionably Heenan 5. Fav Finisher: Savage's elbow drop 6. Fav. Tag Team: Road Warriors 7. Fav Moment: Hogan saving Macho Man for the first time 8. Fav guy on the stick: Rock 9. Fav foreign object: 10: fav catch Phrase: any of the Rock's were good

2015 NHL Draft And Trade Rumours
Do you honestly believe we'd give Buff $9M per? I certainly don't. He said thats what Buff will be asking for, not what the Jets will offer. He said a contract like that would cripple the Jets, implying he could get it.

NHL To Announce Expansion
Love... There's way more talent in the league now (Gretzky & Lemieux excluded) than there was in the 80s with 21 teams. There were 3rd pairing dmen back then who struggled doing crosscuts in both directions. Scoring is down b/c teams play defense now, the goalies are no longer terrible, and the salary cap doesn't let great teams stay together.
