There is pretty much zero reason to stay with the Jets unless you have to or they are overpaying you. Only team in Canada I'd play for is Vancouver because that's my team. I'd rather be in a warm US market, left alone and riding a motorbike and playing golf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called living in Canada and the people of Manitoba are much better on average than the people of the lower mainland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are pretty good (mostly) everywhere. However, any place where people look forward to the minus 40 and 10 feet of snow of the winter, because they want an escape from the vicious bugs of summer, is not a place (most) people with a lot of money would choose to live. I don’t think anyone retires from here to Winnipeg. Now with those facts of life out of the way, Laine likely loves Winnipeg. I figure he enjoys the passion of the fans, and would prefer to stay there. He just wants to be compensated with a fair contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if Laine was the guy from that story about the prospect with a game addiction (he was already in the NHL when the story broke) but it does seem like he’d be best served to spend less time gaming. I still think that was Michael Dal Colle. Islanders prospect taken just before Jake in his draft year. He is struggling to translate to the NHL and is a high pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing Vancouver has tho is a bit of a less friendly veneer than other places. I've found its very easy to break through tho if you take the initiative. Not sure why it developed that way but its not like the prairies where you can shoot the $&!# with anyone all day if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly everyone on the prairie speaks English, and are hockey fans. Better tell Mrs. Alf it’s time to pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best people in Canada live in Manitoba in my opinion. I've gone there in winter and it's not bad at all on average, ice fishing is a lot of fun. If you like winter sports it's great, if you are someone who never goes out in the winter it would be tough. Living in the northern half of B.C. there are bugs ad cold weather here too so Manitoba isn't a problem. I bet most of the hockey players from Scandinavia and other cold countries don't have a problem with the weather there 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on the initiating the discussion part where people seem timid here. City cultures are weird things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body begins to crave those endorphins that get released when you accomplish certain tasks in a game. Lack of sleep also hurts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and you’re single. Why on Hod’s green earth would that guy stay in a room playing with a computer when he could be out playing with ... nudge nudge.
