  • hey - Andrew Harris is back - we've all moved on.....

  • Interesting that Harris is listed as “Guaranteed To Dominate”… seems a little arrogant but I can’t really disagree!

  • Watching the Rider fans cry is so euphoric to me. Rider_Stronson over there having a meltdown, you love to see it. We handed them the game multiple times and they couldn’t take it. **** em, so gl

Willie J already said it is no sleeves for him.

Demski wore sleeves during the last home game.  If a Winnipegger wears sleeves, that's a green light for everyone else in my opinion.

If you ever stood at the corner of Portage and Main when the wind is howling and it's 40 below, you get to know what the meaning of cold is..

Still, you’re not from the prairie,

And yet you know cold…

You say you’ve been cold?

Of all of those memories we share when we’re old,

None are more clear than that hard bitter cold.

You’ll not find among us a soul who can say:

“I’ve conquered the wind on a cold winter’s day.”

If you’re not from the prairie,

You don’t know the cold,

You’ve never been cold!

there's that quote from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises where he says something along the lines of "You think the darkness is your ally? You merely know the dark...I was born into the dark and it's all I've ever known.."  And I always think about that when it comes to cold and Manitoba. Other places can claim they understand cold, but they don't. We're born in it...it's all we know.

I used to choke up reading "If You're Not From the Prairie" to my kids.

Its interesting that Jake Wienkie is also a FA too he is from Minnesota and his parents drive to everyone of one of his games. Seems like 9 5 hour drives would be better than 9 drives to Montreal.
