Oilers Fire Dallas Eakins
They have a terrible defense that can't move the puck up to them. Look at the Avs. They're flooded with offensive talent up front but are in the bottom 1/3 in GF. It's because they also have a terrible defense. Not as bad as the Oilers, but still pretty bad.

Nothing till the New Year now?
I found this interesting in relation to our dc situation; Buono brought Mark Washington with him to meet Tedford to talk about the Lions' HC job. Sitting in on HC interviews certainly makes it seem like he's in their future plans.

Oilers Fire Dallas Eakins
That organization is an embarassment. Their owner is a fan of the team hiring all of his childhood heroes to run it. It's insane that Lowe still has a job. They need to expand their hiring criteria from just being a former Oiler. Firing Ralph Kruger was a giant mistake.

Scams
Was the company called Winnipeg Health Systems? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeggers-get-vacuum-sales-pitch-after-doing-health-survey-1.1307286 I got that survey call as well.When they called back to tell me I won a prize for doing it, I was a little skeptical. When they told me the options were a travel voucher or a Slapchop, I was pretty certain something was wrong. I asked them to call back later and googled them. That's how I found this story about them. *if you don't want to follow the link, it's a ploy to get a salesman in your house for a vacuum sales pitch. To get your prize you have to give them $50 and your credit card info.

Scams
We've gotten a few calls from "Microsoft" telling us there's a problem with our computer. They want us to turn on our computer and they'll walk us through how to "fix" it.

It's being handled internally
It might be time for some to realize this is a free world and if one does not go to a game because or whatever that's his/her choice and I fail to see the right you might have to call them on it. Wouldn't it being a free world give him the right?

Korey Banks: I hate Winnipeg, I hope they never win anything again
You don't think it would have hit the news if those guys had been fired?

Back in the lineup......
I didn't know there was such a thing as head and neck cancer. Regardless, congratulations on beating it!

Unofficial Free Agent List
What are the chances Stanley Bryant leaves the Stamps? He and Heenan bookending our OL would be a moderate upgrade.

Unofficial Free Agent List
If Eppele wanted to give it another try and would sign for no money upfront I'd give him a look.

Mike Benevides Fired
Give Etch their DL to work with and our D would have looked much better. Except Etch doesn't want big guys. He wants small versatile guys, so he wouldn't even want them. Our lines were virtually the same size. Chick is 250, Foley 256, & George is 277 at DT. That's almost identical size to Peach, Vega, & Bryant.

Other than a core of complainers here that I've read the fanbase in general is staying patient.

CM Punk Signs with UFC
The most recent stuff I've read says he'll fight at 185. I don't think he stands a chance against anybody currently on the UFC roster, but I've obviously never seen him fight (b/c he hasn't), so I can't say for sure.

Bogo out 4-6 Weeks, Enstrom to miss December, Buff back on D
Many experts were wrong. He's not good enough to play at the top of our lineup and isn't suited to play a role at the bottom. If he's not scoring he's pretty much useless. IMO he's a guy who could dominate at the AHL level, but will never amount to much in the NHL.

Game 27 : Avs @ Jets
How about giving the Buff trade thing a rest for awhile?Calm down. Someone mentioned trades and I replied. Take a deep breath and relax. nah...I'm calm...by the way...Buff's not going anywhere. CALM DOWN!!!!

Bogo out 4-6 Weeks, Enstrom to miss December, Buff back on D
And that's how valuable he is. Remember the hype for this guy when he first came over from Europe?

Where does Kevie end up in 2015?
That's an interesting one. Taman's history shows he doesn't like to pay for backup qbs. It's burned him twice now, so maybe he's learned his lesson.
-
Where does Kevie end up in 2015?
I think Montreal. They'll need an experienced guy to push Crompton.

Leggett on verge of extension.
I'm suprised by this too. I thought he'd be pretty eager to get back to the NFL.

George Cortez won't be back with Riders in 2015
Farhan Laljhi was just on TSN1290. He said he can't see any way Cortez works in BC this year. He also thought it would be a mistake for the Bombers to bring him in. He thinks Cortez is hard to work with and wouldn't fit in well. He said he'd keep MB, unless we're absolutely sure we can upgrade. He also said he thinks the Bombers have contacted Benevedes about being our DC. He said three teams have called him and he's pretty sure the Bombers were one of those teams. He thinks Etch will be out and MB stays.

Patrick Neufeld extends contract through 2017
The Lions relying on Lulay for next season seems a lot like us going into 2013 with Pierce.

Ehlers Named CHL Player of the Week
Meh. I put up 17 points (9 & 8) in two games back in Atom.
-
Mike Benevides Fired
Lapo, Barrett, & Steinauer would be my top 3 choices. Dickenson's not included b/c he's out of the running.
