The Flames owner Murray Edwards could afford to build a stadium himself as he's worth billions but he refuses to spend any money. He's a terrible owner of the Stamps. Neither Edwards or the politicians wants to spend a penny on McMahon Stadium. He's also an absentee owner. He left Canada a number of years ago as he feels he pays too much tax & lives permanently in London, England. KBF, it will never happen.

This ******* thread should be deleted.

I told myself that if we lost the Grey Cup that I wouldn't let it consume me like these gamess have in the past. That I'd focus on the positives in my life. I refuse let losing a football game bother me as much as it used to. Maybe it's my age & maturity talking here now but my advice to you is just try to focus on all the positives in your life. Your loving wife, your job. Ice fishing all winter. Your friends & family in Alberta & back in Manitoba. I'm not happy we lost... NO WAY... & that Prukop play sticks in my craw but it is what it is. We can't change what happened so there's no sense dwelling on it more than you need.

My dad used to be part pf a big fishing group that always went to Caribou Lake Lodge at Quesnel Lake near Bisset in the 60's & 70's. I can remember some years he went the ice was still on the lake on the May long weekend. Most years the ice had just melted a few days before. But some years it would be touch & go with cold snowy weather. Those guys were hardcore. They'd fish on the water through a snowstorm if they had to. Western Canada in the spring means crap weather. For every one nice day we have two days of snow, rain & cold into June. How many times do we hear people say that "We're gonna pay for this nice weather?" And we usually do. I hate spring football. All these fans who want the season to start in late April or May because it's too cold in November. Well boo ******* hoo. Okay, then we might as well merge with the XFL or USFL & have the season end in August using American rules because that's what is going to happen.

You guys have no idea how lucky you are to have IG Field. The Riders are lucky to have Mosaic stadium. Here in Calgary, we're stuck with the dump they call McMahon Stadium. I vowed I'll never go back to a game there 5 years ago. I'll never set foot in that old concrete rock pile of a **** hole again.

Sure, okay. Whatever you say. I've read Hamilton will be "all in" next year because they're hosting the Grey Cup so why wouldn't they pay $300.000 for a 1 year deal. Teams will want Lawler & he won't come cheap.

Please put an end to this thread. My Gawd. The discussion is just going round & round. It has all the excitement of a spoon.

I grew up in Winnipeg. I was 35 when I moved to Calgary. We all know how bad spring weather can be. I remember some lousy springs when I lived in Winnipeg. Especially if it's a late spring like last year. It's not always nice & warm. Then we also have issues with flooding around the City preventing some out of town fans from getting to the games if they start in late April or May. In Calgary in April & May we get late season spring snowstorms where up to 20 or 30 cms will fall. I've seen some beautiful springs the past 30 years & I've seen some cold, snowy ones. No one will want to sit outside at McMahon Stadium watching a Stamps game in a snowstorm.

From what I've read from the comments on social media the kick was going to the left & he would have missed if it wasn't blocked. A number of people said the same thing. I can only go from what people saw.

Legs is young. He's cheap. He ain't that good. More reason to keep him & then we deserve all the bad that comes with a decision like that. Like blowing another championship. I don't want a cheap kicker. I want a kicker that kicks good.

Can I ask you what the difference is between a cold start sitting in snow & rain or minus 4 in November?? Both suck. People aren't going to show up for a game if it's cold. miserable & wet outside in May while the games mean nothing . Spring can have absolutely shitty weather on the prairies that lasts until the end of June. The season got cold for the playoffs this year which was fine with me & a lot of fans. At least in November there's a reason to fo to games.

Not saying we want Stove back but there are big DL like Stove out there. There are some in the CFL who'll become free agents that hopefully we target.

Nah, it still hurts. Not because we didn't deserve to win but because the Argos didn't deserve to win, either.

Our lines were outplayed last night. That was the difference in the game. Our OL might need replenishing or perhaps tweaking at one or two positions but for sure our DL needs upgrading. I think the loss took Buck's name out of any HC opportunities for next season. It shows that he's still learning on the go & may be a few years before he's ready to be a HC. I think Buck probably learned a valuable lesson last night from the Prukop play on first down. Or at least I hope he did. If he hasn't then he's becoming LaPo 2,0.

J & J needed help from the rest of their interior linemates which they never got. Stevie Richardson was a force last season & was greatly missed. He was a runstopper & gave us that push we didn't have this past season. We never even tried to replace him. The stat you posted is the long term result of staying with the status quo.

No 3 stars or HH from me tonight.

He never should have had a chance to even think about throwing the ball. he should have been on the bench.

Some of the core players may not be back. Will Bryant, Bighill, Hardrick be back??

Harris plays 4 games & he just has to get his mitts on the Grey Cup before some of his other teammates who were there longer.

Sigh. Yep.

We need to shore up our interior DL. We need a different kicker.

Losing teams never win.

He isn't consistent. He can't be relied on in the crunch. I know the team will circle the wagon when the criticism starts. We can do better.
