    St John's does not have anyone that can improve this club, the only guys not playing that could be of some help would be Redmond and Postma and maybe Pasquale could replace Pavs down the road if this trend continues.

    I lulz at the one who thinks Evander Kane is the only threat on offense... the guy has potential that's for sure but I'm not impressed with his 25 points and his 14 goals on a bazillion shots. When he learns how to pass then he might become a star. Wheeler is probably our best guy on offense and he's above average that's for sure. Pavs is definitely stinking it up, he definitely is making more money then he should based on his play. How can Montoya have a winning record and much better stats then him? I definitely expect the team to respond better with Maurice, he *should* have much more respect from the players and in theory they should play harder.

    Can you honestly say that this Jets roster is capable of much more than they are doing though? Look at the rest of the western conference and honestly see where the Jets roster stacks up, it's not favourable. The answer is yes... how can they beat teams like Colorado and then simply roll over against crap teams like Florida and Buffalo. This team if properly coached should of had at least 5 - 10 more wins. So many gimmies they gave away. I don't think this team could compete for the Cup by any means... but we definitely are way below what we should be at.

    What's wrong with most of the guys he signed? Guys like Bogosian, Kane, Wheeler can look fantastic some nights and then awful on others.... I find it to coincidental that this team can play fantastic some nights and then awful on others. The team clearly has enough talent to beat the better teams in this league yet somehow the next night can't beat a crap team like Buffalo. To me that screams of bad coaching / preparation. With the Blue it was a train wreck from the start (with the offense) they never showed up any night so clearly it was talent (on top of the bad coaching). If you actually watched the games you would see that the key problem with this team is lazyness , sloppy play, and some guys phoning it in. That to me is lack of motivation and spoiled brats getting away with being lazy. In years past we could blame the problems on guys like Antropov who clearly could not skate and lacked the skill to really do anything ..... the fat we shed were non NHL caliber guys.... the guys we have now have the skills but they simply are not playing to potential. Mr Owl Man Noel was way over his head, the dude is not a NHL caliber coach and time to move on.

    Noel was simply over his head, the guy can be a decent AHL coach and probably a solid assistant coach in the NHL, but the guy simply wouldn't be able to motivate a bunch of young guys. The move was inevitable and maybe this will shake things up for the rest of the year. The team is moving in the right direction and hopefully next year they can hire a coach who can actually pull the team up. It's to bad they couldn't of had Vigneault....

    Edem is being massively overrated by fans, he wasn't that great.
  8. What were they going to say Buck is injury proned and isn't of any use in the booth with Crowton?

    Good players don't get benched and then cut... Stala is an ok talent but really not a guy we would need. I'd rather drop the band aid solution cash on the o line
  10. Brandon replied to gbill2004's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Are you referring to fans or the club?
  11. My original point was that Buck wasn't known as a tactician on the field. Absolutely everything he displayed as a player would not indicate that he would be a great qb coach.
  12. Really you would rather have Boltus or Pierce at the helm??? Burris is a tool but he's light years better then anyone we have had since Glenn...
  13. Until he slips up after a punt return touchdown by Dave Stala and he proceeds to go off about Sticky Stalas STD's in TD place!!
  14. Brandon replied to Mr Dee's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Stala could fit with Ottawa. My wild prediction.... Burris goes to BC and they cut Buck who then goes to Hamilton while the Bombers sign Collaros and Willy.
  15. Why would we want buck as a qb coach???? Only because he has roots here that's a horrible reason to hire a guy. Is it because of his stellar play with the Blue.....???? Is it his style which only worked when he would scramble and make a play on the fly with his legs??? Is it because he looked focus on the sidelines when he played and that he never appeared to be dazed or spaced out??? I see zero reason for him to be qb coach. I'd rather they bring in a guy who with a good reputation for game planning and good with his x and o's and someone who could mentor.
  16. Brandon replied to Mark H.'s post in a topic in General Discussion
    Yes he is what he is... a guy who can score great on the power play and then stink it up on his own end.... the -15 or whatever he is at now is quite indicative as well as him being one of the top guys in the league with giveaways. Bogo isn't elite and definitely can't shoot for ****, but he at least can get the puck out of his own end and considering how crappy the team has been and he still somehow is a +6 really does show. Byfuglien isn't a scapegoat, to me Pavelec also is vastly over rated.... Buff simply should be a forward because he's lazy as fack and a liability on the D, put him on the point for the power play but for the rest of the game put him in Thorburns place on the wing. Claude Noel is in over his head, not a horrible coach but definitely not a guy who can raise the bar on a team full of young guys.
  17. Coaching is huge just look at the Jets... Owl man Noel looks and is now talking like a defeated man and the team now is spiraling down fast.

    hate it so much when receivers do that. just play through it and it's more likely the refs will see the interference. Edwards would be the most penalized guy in the league
  19. Not impressed by the signing, but hey maybe they will save money here and put money towards a qb coach
  20. Brandon replied to Mr Dee's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    So no jokes about Pall being 5th overall pick only for them to instantly cut him and Montreal signing him? Or is it only Mack picks that can be forever mocked?
  21. A torrent would also be good
  22. Brandon replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Well as a fan when you see a guy like Foster get several chances to make first downs and simply drop the ball mean while once in a blue moon Etienne gets a ball his way and he makes the catch and gets some YAC it really makes it hard for us to really root for him to leave...
  23. Brandon replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Well it's kind of unfair to really judge any of the receivers based on how piss poor the o has been. With such limited action and so few balls thrown his way we really don't know how good or bad Etienne can be. It wasn't like he was dropping balls like Foster was. Etienne is still a TBD....
  24. Brandon replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Why would Jarious Jackson be considered a good pickup for qb coach? The guy never excelled as a player and was never known As a smart qb. He was a guy with a big arm that never won a starting job...
  25. Not to many people are posting at the other site.... I'll be surprise if it stays open for more then 1 - 2 seasons....
