  1. Fuhr admitted he did. I have a hard time thinking Gretzky was a part of it. No one knows & no one will tell, anyways.
  2. Nah, their firepower won them games. Not Fuhr letting in a winning goal.
  3. Everyone wants to play Canadians on the line. It doesn't work. Historically, a minimum of 2 & usually 3 Americans have played on CFL lines until the past 25-30 years when the Esks started an all Canadian line & other teams followed. Now, it seems to be going back to playing Canadians at positions other than offensive lines.
  4. Hajrallahu, he always seems to be involved in cluster..... on special teams.
  5. The excuse will now be It's TOO HOT!
  6. I don't ever recall a Nissan ad on TSN during CFL games that wasn't annoyingly bad with the music. To make it worse, they play them a dozen times mostly back to back.
  7. I think it always did. Except for the Oilers in the 80's who just outgunned everyone with their offensive firepower. Fuhr could let in five goals, they'd score 6.
  8. CFL teams have really taken out the walk up crowds. Single game day prices are just insanely high. Used to be teams would get 6-8,000 walkups if not more depending on the game but no more. Prices have to come down. You'd think teams would clue in but they don't.
  9. You guys are lucky that way for sure. You're in the market so if you ever want to retire out there you can. Or sell & make a fortune.
  10. Plus we have Rod Freaking Black doing the game & those Nissan commercials to look forward to. Ugh.
  11. Not jealous of Jennings. The Lions can have him. Good luck to Kenny Stafford trying to crack the lineup in Edmonton.
  12. Even if your house is a million the next house you want is $1.2 million so people really can't even move. They're locked in. Unless they leave & go live somewhere other than the Lower Mainland. Ever watch Love it or List It Vancouver? Where the hell do people get the money??? Oh yeah, our reno budget is $250,000 & our budget for a new house is $3.5 million. Crazy First World Problems.
  13. We're Bomber fans. We've all experienced night terrors like you did over the years.
  14. Great game but disappointing crowd. Under 20,000. Seems a lot of issues in the Lower Mainland like the population of the downtown mostly Asian, the majority of fans live in the suburbs far away or in places like Abbotsford & Chilliwack, the difficulty getting to BC Place & high ticket prices all seem to have come together to create this problem for the Lions of attracting fans. Also, David Braley himself running the organization & grinding it down on the cheap. Cutting people from marketing & sales. Very little advertising. People want Braley to sell but the old codger, just like when he owned the Argos thinks he can get more than top dollar for the team even though the longer he waits the less he'll get. Braley destroyed the Argos brand in Toronto. That's the impression I get from talking to someone very close to the Lions.
  15. Pfft Suitor. How is Moore turning upfield after his catch a "veteran move"??
  16. Remember the good old days with Tom Higgins?
  17. First act of the new Commissioner. Fire Johnson. We know that won't happen. The man is useless.
  18. According to Farhan Lalji, Glenn Johnson says that CFL will not take 3 mins to get a replay call right. What? First why should it take 3 mins to get a call right? Second, if that's his attitude then get rid of replay as they aren't getting it right anyway.
  19. Perreault needs to look like Neville
  20. Well, a ref will signal TD or throw a flag in the middle or just as the play is coming to an end so I don't know how you can get around that?
  21. And yet....
  22. I watched the Vanier Cup last November. No video replays & no coaches challenges. It was so nice to actually watch a football game again for a change &n just let things unfold on the field.
  23. I think Elliott is the best of what is out there.
  24. Glen Johnson has ruined the game.
