  1. Way to derail Nate!
  2. Warrior had the limp when he blew out his knees in his retirement match a few years back in Italy. He's been wearing that parka for a while I'm guessing because of embarrassment on how weird his arms looked compared to his chest. He had a bunch of workout videos that may still be on YouTube and his arms were really weird looking. Bret Hart was open about how facked up he was during his hey day with his huge drug addiction. I never realized how bad he was but from the stories he seemed worse then most of the other guys from that era.
  3. The one thing though was for years Warrior talked about being clean and not living the poor life style that many other wrestlers did. He looked good on his video blogs over the last few years and looked healthy and normal. He didn't look all drugged out like Bret Hart who is/was a crazy coke head and who now looks like a corpse who aged rapidly.
  4. What's the time limit to buyout Pavelec? If Hutchinson plays well for the last two games and then IceCaps playoffs, I think we could have a whole new one-two lineup next year... Montoya won't be resigned. If the Jets make the decision based on Hutchinson playing 2 meaningless games at the end of the year then I would seriously question who we have in charge with management. The team will keep Pavelec (sadly) because by the time his contract is done *hopefully* Connor Hellebuyck will be ready by then.... I think three meaningless NHL games and a strong IceCaps playoff run earns Hutchinson the backup role... then we rely on Chevy to find a free agent starter Seems like a better plan than starting Hellebuyck in the 2017-18 season... He's had a magical season and a lot of luck ... I don't see the Jets committing to him yet. He only played because the caps had two injuries, Montoya was hurt and pav just sucks....
  5. It was creepy in how his speeches he mentioned that his spirit will always move on and then he drops dead. I'm guessing the cause was probably from years of steroid abuse. He seemed to live a clean life after wrestling and he was in crazy good shape for an old guy.

  7. It was awfully nice knowing that when you absolutely needed to make a play there were guys you could count on to make it. It was nice to know that you could actually move the chains. It was so sad seeing so many sub 200 yard passing games with only 50 yards rushing over the last two seasons.
  8. Are you comparing a bunch of no-name import rookies with 55 year old Henry Burris taking up a gazillion dollars along with their other older QB? I'm talking about a few people complaining after they signed Anton McKenzie. Apparently Ottawa has no budget at all yet we have an open wallet.
  9. And Gillis was canned today so I assume they won't make any extreme trades
  10. Notice how the Bombers sign a whole whack load of new guys and this is the norm. But when Ottawa signs one free agent we get a whole bunch of Desjardins is a fool and over paying and blowing up his salary cap. I find this amusing.
  11. Its to bad that in the past we didn't get Cory Schneider from them. If the Jets do make a deal with the Canucks which players do you guys think would move from both teams?
  12. Watching Kane last night... He wasn't good. Way to many give always and he just can't make a pass. I'd rather have Pardy on the wing... He's showing more stick handling skills lol
  13. Apparently he needs another 5 years to justify his contract. Also his production keeps going down despite the talent on the team improving.

    I don't think Jyles was all that bad, decent signing but definitely a step down from Glenn
  15. Would be inclined to say you're dead on. I don't hate the signing, he looks intriguing at worst but I would just expect we would be able to do better than a guy whose most recent athletic endeavor was a varsity baseball team. And the all might Buono brought in Jyles who was doing exactly what last year?

    Also this is great for us and bad for Glenn.... Unless Edmonton ponies up the money where else can he go?

    So can people stop saying Wally is a qb genius please?
  18. Agreed he will be still wanted at the dead line...
  19. Wasn't Kane around the top 5 guys available from the trade deadline? I think he does have a lot of stock still.
  20. Did you know Setoguchi also had a 30 goal season and several 20 plus goal seasons...should he be paid 6 million? Lol your point isn't really valid.Sometimes players like Devon simply decline... Kane I think has one more season before the Jets give up on him. He's almost a bust and 6 mill is way to much for a third liner You can't bank on potential for ever...
  21. No kidding aside from the Blue most teams are loaded with veterans ..
  22. Do we know how much they gave to these older players? Doesn't other teams also have to pay older players? Doesn't it make sense to have more experienced guys for an expansion team?
  23. Aside from Burris who have they signed?
  24. Crappy, I'm not familiar with all of this as I'm under 40 and therefore never listen to the radio. It's unfortunate that the CFL isn't big enough to have anything remotely as good as the NFL where you get news and chatter online , on tv and on satellite radio....
  25. Then why don't more people actually score 30 goals? Because they pass the puck. How come Wheeler , Little, Ladd have 20 - 30 more points and they each have more goals then Kane despite taking much less shots? How come they have to keep rotating line mates for Kane ? The kid has talent but he definitely needs to step up his game and he clearly is not earning his money. A 3rd line winger should not make that much cashola....
