Nothing like money to comfort the losing.

The Oilers are the Oilers. Wonder how McDavid likes it there?

Montreal can have that idiot Mack.

I remember when he signed with Edmonton more than one person here said they were glad Mack didn't trade for him as he was going to be a bust. The Mack apologists were out in full force.

A lot of fans thought Mike Reilly would be a bust but he wasn't.

They have to want to & so far the Irvings haven't shown any interest in owning a CFL team. Neither have the McCains.

That was Harper. Wouldn't surprise me to see Trudeau do it.

So, the feds will spend money on a new stadium in Halifax while telling people in Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina & Calgary that they won't give a cent to a project like that? Nice. Not surprised though as we know that there are different rules (especially) for Quebec & the Maritimes.

Football players have bare arms so you have to figure while the games may not be as good they seem to be able to adapt to snow & cold. I don't think it's realistic to think hockey players are able to do it like football players can.

That list is just so stupid. Not worth even discussing.

Mostly taxpayers thru all 3 different levels of government & some private money. They're talking about building a "multi purpose" stadium of 24,000 so the feds will get involved so it's not about funding pro football (yeah, right)....

Apples & oranges. Can't compare the 2 sports. All football players have played in shitty conditions outdoors. Hockey players play every game indoors. Playing hockey in those conditions affect the players way more than football.

Totally agree. And not just because we lost.

Amazing how this guy weaseled his way into being GM of the Als. How Andrew Wettenhal thinks he's the man to lead them to the Promised Land is beyond me.

Just an aside but does anyone read the comments threads on 3 Down Nation after every story? By far, the most dumb ass fans over there are Stampeder fans. I don't know if it's one person posing for about four different individual Stamps fans or if it's just all of them posting there are just very stupid but they're worse than Rider fans & that is saying something. If I was Edwards & Dunk, I'd eliminate the comments section & just post their stories. Pretty evident that most of the fans there are clueless.

Wouldn't surprise me... Just the little thing about a stadium that's left to figure out. #spinningwheel

Who Who Knows? Knows?

Kids don't play outdoors anymore. On facebook someone said only one player on both teams has played outdoors in the past. They're not used to playing 3 hours outdoors in the cold. When we go outdoors when it's cold for any length of time we're dressed for it. No way that hockey players are dressed to play for 3 hours in minus 20 temps with skates laced up tight, equipment, jerseys where cold penetrates into the protective equipment, helmets that don't prevent frost bite to ears or prevent heat loss, hockey gloves aren't designed to combat frigid temps & frostbite . Throw in sweating & it's something players weren't ever prepared to deal with. Hard to believe that I have to explain this to you, iHeart.

Not playing outdoors.

Did the cold affect our team more than the US? Two goal collapse in the third period followed by a dreadful shootout. That. Was. Bad.

Put Zach into an offense that is imaginative & he'll do well. Austin's offense was old & tired. Jones changed things up when he became the Head Coach. I share your views on Masoli & Manziel although all that media would be good for the CFL in the US.

Understood.

I think he is Doug Flutie talented but he's nowhere near as smart or as team oriented as Doug was. I still think Collaros is still the Ti Cats best option going forward. Not convinced Masoli is a viable long term starting qb in this league. If he was to sign in Montreal I doubt if they'd win more games than they did this season with him as the starter. What do you think Zontar?

Well then, good for him. I doubt if he has much of a choice in the situation he's in. He is hardly a player who'll be picking & choosing.
