  1. OK last time I pick on the Oilers for today :P Anyone else wonder how the McDavid contract would have went if he re-upped after this season?

      Off topic but ya notice how greedy McDavid is with the puck of late, he's making a pitch for the scoring title understanding his teams poor standings.

      Me thinks he might have asked for more money if it was at the end of this year. Hell I would :P

       

  2. LMAO!! Not even 3 years of McDavid and the Coilers are already rebuilding :lol: Anyone else think the Nuge is on the way out?

      It won't be so funny when they land Dahlin

      If McDavid can't save them, nobody can.

      I am going to go out on a limb and predict we win 1st overall this year and select Dahlin :o

       

      I've lived in Alberta for several years before moving to the Peg and I can tell you everybody has been telling me over and over how great the Oilers are going to be yet here we are - still watching them flounder. I'm going to enjoy watching this tire fire while it burns :D

  3. Am I the only one remotely concerned that the Coilers will likely end up drafting first overall and getting Dahlin? (Although he'd end up a failure in that tire fire we call the Edmonton Oilers)

      If you're looking at the Oilers this season, you'd start to wonder how they forgot to play hockey over last summer.  Or....did they realise its a lot easier to get a #1 defenseman in the draft than trade for him/sign as a free agent.  Kind of a pull a Pittsburgh like when Lemieux was up in the draft....

      Doesn't bother me anymore, if Edmonton gets Dahlin people will respect them even less than they do now. I think it's just as likely that we see a repeat of last year where a team leaps all the way up in defy the odds fashion to snag him.

      We should announce a travel ban of AB hockey players from our golf courses hahaha

  4. Managed to score tickets for the Jets/Canucks game here in the 'Peg tomorrow (2nd time this season) - then I hear Bo may play!!! Might be the best Sunday ever :) Go Nucks Go

      Not going to lie - been here since July and compared to Deadmonton this place rocks - so much to do and folks here love their Jets!!!

       

      Summer here last year was amazing - very hot and humid and there was something happening every night!!

       

      Yes its not Vancouver but it has quickly endeared itself to me in way Edmonton never did :)

      @c00kies Ok, let's do it. I'm up for that adventure. 

       

      Yeah, if I had to choose between Edmonton and Winnipeg it's the latter for sure. Disclaimer: have been to neither and am judging based on the hockey teams each city has and the women I've met from them. 

       

      Horsefly mosquitos aren't for me.

  5. Man its the best time of the year!!! Turkey, family, friends and World Junior hockey baby!!!!

  6. Home with the Girlfriend, her son and our poopie dogs!! Can't wait to travel to the best place on earth BC!!! to see my kidlets and watch some 'Nucks with my buddy!! Merry Christmas everybody - pretty sure santa came early and gave us Boeser but here's hoping you have a great holiday and a prosperous New Year!!

      At least Brock scored.

      That's something. I remember thinking of going to the game on my birthday (last year or two years ago)...it was the third straight game that we got shutout lol.

      The first game I ever attended, we were shut out 1-0 by the Flames.

  8. Scored big at work - got invited to the Jets vs Coyotes tonight - Dale Hawerchuk night and we have seats in one of the private boxes Woohoo

  9. Off to see the Jets vs Sid the Kid and the Pens - first time seeing Crosby, Malkin and Kessel live - looking forward to it and GO JETS GO!!!

      Yeah rumour has it Bell MTS Centre had to do an extra big order with Phil in town haha

  10. Two things that suck about Winnipeg so far - lack of Nucks games (I am watching tonight's game !) and lack of Seahawks games.

     

    On a positive note Jets fans much classier than Coiler fans ever were :)

  11. Well about to witness my first game here in Winnipeg tonight against the Wild. Not gonna lie not excited its the Wild but looking forward to seeing a Canadian team I can cheer for other than my beloved Nucks!! Go Jets Go!!!

      Laine should be worth the price of admission. Mikael Granlund too. 

    2. MikeBossy

      MikeBossy

      Ehlers and Laine were worth the price of admission!! Damn can Laine shot the puck! Reminds me of Bure

  12. Am I the only one enjoying watching Talbot get lit up like a Christmas tree so far this season :)

      Lol I really don't miss living in Edmonton 

       

    3. Green Building

      Friends of mine who've lived there would quickly agree with you.

    4. MikeBossy

      Thing is I do still "live there" (Well Sherwood Park) but since relocating to Winnipeg for work I find Jets fans do not irritate me like Oiler fans do. The main reason - they aren't band wagoners. Ever since the pre-season started I see Jets car flags, jerseys etc. Only time I saw that in Edmonton was last Spring for their playoff run.

  13. Just moved to Winnipeg 2 weeks ago for work - looking forward to watching the Nucks play the Jets here as well as the Lions trounce the Blue Bombers :) Anybody else from the Peg?

      @Monty lives there, and (on several occasions) talked about the cool stuff to do there.

      I live in Winnipeg too and have been to a few Canucks-Jets games, but they haven't won any of them lol. Judging by comments made about BC Place, you should find the Bomber games really fun too :P

      sweet you now have a bit of time to get ready for winter

      buy a whole ton of extreme winter weather clothing

      brace yourself for the transition

      sleeping overnight in the freezer a couple nights a week will give you a good head start i think

      good luck with that town

  14. Craig Simpson might want to get those eyes checked.... says Beagle knocked Andersson down when it was his own defenseman ... lol

     

    1. Green Building

      Craig said that? I heard the call go down as "Anderson knocked down by the knee of his own player".
