I've never read a post here that suggests this but I obviously haven't read all the posts.

It's always the special teams guys to go first when a ship is sinking.

Don't know yet until we try yea?

I'm not suggesting that nor am I suggesting the approach should be loading up on FA's, I'm just suggesting that if the Jets regress (or status quo) this coming season (regular and/or post season) is it reasonable to suggest that the Winnipeg's GM is looked at a bit more intensively at his end of year review? I differ from you that I think it's a reasonable expectation to win the cup small market or not. I'm just a curious guy in trying to better understand in a results based business what's the threshold that has to be attained where Chevy's job is at risk? Yes they've graded out high in some regular season play but yes they've also graded out low in post season play. I'm not suggesting he be fired but regardless of being a GM in Winnipeg compared to more favorable destinations he has accountability for regular and post season play that doesn't just sit on everyone else and if it's not attained to desirable levels (which I'm trying to better understand what these levels are) then what happens?

For the most part I like our GM but for the hardcore Chevy apologists, is it reasonable to suggest that if the Jets regress this coming season his end of year review is a little bit more serious?

Columbus paying 5.5 per year x 5 for Monahan would support this premise. Sheeesh. In 2 years they'll being buying him out.

No problem we just need about eight touchdowns from Demski.

I'm confused by the reasons for McGroarty for Jiricek trade. Reason, both are unhappy with how they're being developed in their respective organizations so they want to go to another team that will put them on the NHL ice. So we won't start McGroarty to appease him but to appease Jiricek we will start him and the same goes for the Bluejackets start McGroarty but not Jiricek. Huh?

Oh he doesn’t get a pass. It’s been brought up here before, not naming names. Good morning @SpeedFlex27

Imo he doesn’t give off any authentic genuine vibe that he truly loves our game and his role is to serve and focus the attention on the game and the people who tirelessly are working hard behind the scenes to keep this league surviving and thriving. Instead he gives off the vibe that I’m in charge, the attention should be on me cuz I’m the leader I’m important. Gross.

Sure but the real point here is what we are doing with our draft prospects and how many swings if any we are taking to minimize overbaking some of our draft prospects in the AHL to paraphrase @Mike

Sure so take a swing with him and see what he's got and go from there.

Yup, key word some. Bake some prospects in the AHL while swinging with others. This does not need to be an either or situation (i.e., make sure they are fully baked in the AHL or take a swing and see what they got at the NHL level). It can be a blend of both.

I've always wanted to write this. Someone pee in your cornflakes? Cuz if they did I feel you brother.

Actually I'd take that a step further. In you and the coaching staff reviewing game tape from the past three losses, can you break it down for us in what you're seeing from Thomas and others on the Dline that maybe some of us can't see?

What’s that line, living on a prayer?

Hey settle down, like @Atomic said, 15-3 is still on the table. I believe in these guys, stay the course, we’ll work thru this, this is a different team, we just need to be patient, believe in ourselves, cut out outside noise. Grind, work hard, work smart. Channeling my best MOS vibe.

When he no longer wants to coach please please put him in the broadcast booth. Love listening to him. Shouts out to the Jets. Wow. What really went on here where he felt he had to leave? Panthers went back to what works. Sticks and bodies in the shooting lanes and the occasional mugging of 97 and 29. Great recipe for success. Somethings never change when everything is on the line, last five minutes of the game, no rules free for all, fun to watch if your team wins, not so much if they don’t.

Not to mention the fact that the Argo's suck. This 0-3 start living in Alberta during this hockey craze is not helping with my mood.

Man I hope you're wrong about that.

A few of those on our existing starting roster. A hard hard truth but it happens to all athletes at some point.

And this is what reviewing game tape sounds like.

Most every play he’s on he’s just trotting around watching a football game unfold before him. We shouldn’t be fielding players as spectators.

No, athletic. Okay time for bed. It will always be great to be a hardcore BB fan no matter what. Imagine cheering for the Riders or Argos. Shiver.

To help clear up your confusion on me saying enough about this 0-18 silliness. We are not going 0 and 18.
