‘Many were surprised at the way the Jets handled Comrie’s situation. They claimed they wanted him back, but they didn’t play him those final 90 minutes to make it happen. Comrie doesn’t blame them, “In the situation we were in, it was different because we were a team really fighting to make a playoff spot. I mean yes, it looked like a tough situation for us to make the playoffs at the time, but I knew that our coach (Dave Lowry) was a newer coach and he was trying to keep his job, so he was going to play his guy, so I don’t know if I was in his situation if I would’ve done anything differently and maybe it worked out for the best because I’m very happy to be a Sabre now.” Winnipeg missed the playoffs by eight points.’
