NHL Injury Watch 2017/18 season
2-0-1 w/o Scheifs is a great start. Maybe we get lucky and he's out 15-17 games as opposed to 20+.

When do we fire Richie Hall?
If you're old enough to type sentences, you're old enough to remember bad, bad, bad Bomber teams. Unprepared teams. Teams that had no fight. Teams that were an embarrassment to the logo & city. If you're a millennial, that's virtually ALL you've ever known. I'm not happy with our D either, but suggesting Osh needs to go because of it is shortsighted IMO. 23 wins in 2 seasons. Last time we had win totals like that in back to back years was 2001-2003. Before that, 1993-1994. Forgive me if I'm enjoying this awful, awful times we're having lately. I guess the question is whether Osh is the guy who's going to hoist a Cup in < 5 yrs or are we more likely to do that with someone else wearing the captain's hat?

Bomber Moves 2018
- Game 42 : Buffalo @ Springfield Rd.
Bogosian was horrid in the Winter Classic. 14 GP, 0 goals, 0 assists, 20 PIMS and 23 SOG this year.....ouch. #ThankYouBuffalo- Around the NHL 2017/2018
I was going to mock FLA for not keeping this guy only 'cuz they couldn't spell his name. Looks like Vegas can't either- Game 39 : Crooklyn @ Scheifeless
Also lost on those freakin' out already... Moose haven't played since the 22nd. No way Maurice gives top line mins to a rookie after a week off. To me, today wasn't about shutting the door on Roslovic it was keeping the door slightly open for Dano or Matthias. Nothing more, nothing less.- NHL Injury Watch 2017/18 season

Opposite confirmation. Maurice sounds as if he's in no hurry at all to make a call-up. NHLJets twitter currently imploding. Color me not shocked. We had 2 extra FWs on the roster before yesterday & everyone was convinced we'd still bring up a Moose?!- NHL Injury Watch 2017/18 season
Feb.9 is just over 6 weeks away. 17 games between now & then, 9 at home, 13 in-conference & 5 in-division games. We take care of business at home, we'll be okay.- Around The League: 2018 Offseason
I wouldn't put too much stock into Foghorn's opinion here. They give out engineering degrees with every tooth cleaning in Sask.- Game 38 : No PST @ 8%

As a STH for both Bombers & Jets, it's refreshing to have one of them actually listen to fan feedback, then act on it. Jets staff could learn a thing or two.- The TV Thread
You shut your mouth! If LD turns out to be a legit creeper I'm 100% done with TV. Like Seinfeld, that would just ruin too much of my world.- Random News Items
Frowned upon here, so I'm told. I wanted to hook up everyone with Athletic articles... but was told no go.- Restaurant/food thread
Even picturing myself chomping down a Nip right now..... yeah, they're far from the best around. But (like others) I practically grew up eating these things! Every Bomber game at the old barn for prob 10+ years. Mom waited in Sals line & me in beer line. #teamwork Nostalgia tastes good, man.- Manitoba Moose

I've had this happen on a least 2 past flights; both shorter trips / smaller planes. ...I always think, geez if the safety of this flight is dependent on where my 170 lbs frame goes - we're in trouble!- Game 26: Monte Carlo @ Shark Club

Mindhunter back for s2. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com//live-feed/mindhunter-renewed-season-2-at-netflix-1062982- What was your best Grey Cup ever?
My best Grey Cup was the 38th in 1950. We lost unfortunately, but I threw for 89 yds passing - GC record at the time. I also played DB, returned kicks, was head athletic therapist & the team's travel agent. Gee willikers how I miss that $250 game cheque!- Game 26: Monte Carlo @ Shark Club
Time : Friday Dec.1 7:00pm. TSN3 & BellMTSPlace Story : As expected prior to start of season, this matchup features 2 of the West's top teams. Subplot: Return of everyone's favourite, Gary Lawless. Not to mention Shane "TSN12" Hnidy and the 62 Manitobans employed by VGK. Gary's already excited about our above-seasonal weather this week....- Random News Items
Reason 1 of 120412 to never fly around the holidays. Good for Rachel. From an imposter lawyer who ends up in prison to Prince Harry. Traded up, methinks.- Game 22: Jets @Quacks
my was because the goal was disallowed. But my is because EHLERS has us on the board. 1-0 good guys.- Game 22: Jets @Quacks
