Thread: Have we finally fixed our defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>Yeah the Winnipeg based media are pretty chilled.

TV: Orlesky (TSN), Reynolds (SN)
Radio: Moore (CJOB)
Print: Ates (Athletic), Billeck/Friesen (Sun), Brooks (GameOn), McIntyre/Bell (Free Press), Wiebe (SN) and a CP reporter sometimes

Only Friesen vs Wheeler after a loss generates any friction and even then it isn't that big of a deal. Wheeler tells Friesen to fork-off and they move on. lol</div></div>

Yeah Jets media is pretty tame, genuinely good people and they ask good questions and don’t stir crap up.

Also friesen sometimes is a bit over the top with wheeler but like you say they just hash it out and then move on.

Hopefully some of the Winnipeg stigma starts to fade away.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OlegP</b></div><div>Jesus. Stastny is some kind of asset. Otherwise, I never saw Schmidt waiving for Winnipeg. Hell, I enjoy Winnipeg quite a bit. Never got the bad rap. I think, it's mostly, a Canada thing. Hockey guys just enjoy playing in obscurity.</div></div>

Winnipeg is honestly fairly quiet when it comes to media. During media appearances there’s probably 8-9 reporters at most and they’re honestly not that hard on the players. So media isn’t an issue here, also they don’t usually get bothered when they’re out and about in the city. I see perreault all the time who’s a fairly well known jet and he’s hardly bothered, seen many players at the malls and have never seen them bothered. I think people just really don’t like how cold it gets and the taxes. The organization is top notch and anyone who’s been apart of it will say that, even the ones who left like laine.

Stastny continues to prove his worth on and off the ice, and very well could become a front office employee. A scout or another position along those lines. I thought Schmidt was a no go due to the NTC, but stastny apparently is the trade whisperer. Likely because of his two great stints with the organization and the city.

Thread: Gotta feel for fleury
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>I wish more fans would actually see it this way. I’m a hawks fan and I really don’t want him to come if he ain’t happy. I wouldn’t wanna be hear over Vegas either.</div></div>

It’s just a bad way to send off the guy who was the face of the team for years. It really just shows to all of their players that regardless of your contribution and commitment to the organization, they feel no extra love for you and will ship you off at anytime. Just a bad look on management. It’s not even about not wanting to go to Chicago, cause it’s a great city, although the organization is currently having major issues they’ve typically done well. It’s just that he wanted to retire a Knight and they robbed him of the opportunity.
