Just watched Jim Rome sorta kinda make fun of the fact that Manziel is only going to make $120K plus $10K signing bonus this year in the CFL. It is kind of funny when you think about how much football players make in the NFL I guess.

and this could hurt the franchise long-term. In three years when they are at the bottom of the league where they should be, is anyone going to show up?

Very prophetic.

oh right. My bad.

I sat there through the entire series asking two questions (other than about Fleury and James Neal) "Who are these guys"? and secondly, "who were the idiot GM's who let these guys get away?" Who gets a shut-down defense like that right out of the gate? It makes no sense. Brayden McNabb? Deryk Engelland? Nate Schmidt? Man that kid can skate. Who is he???

99 games in total. Not bad for guys who were usually already over a month into their golf games by this time every year. I hope they take this as a learning experience and build on it for next year. As I said - the 1983 Oilers. Also, I guess game 4 was the last time we'll be seeing Toby in a Jets uniform. Thanks for the memories Toby!

I am counting 13 DL and DE's on the roster right now. Or am I missing something?

Blake Wheeler within 20 seconds of every shift looked like he had just finished the Boston Marathon. He had no juice left in the tank.

I think he stole a game or two, but mostly he just didn't make mistakes. Rinne let in some real stinkers that helped us out, especially in game 7. Fleury was just not going to let in a soft goal. There was no way.

a figure of speech...

Putting on my Chris Jones hat here....maybe Flanders can play DB?

what happened to Stastny in round 3? He seemed invisible after being an unstoppable force against Nashville. The Knights really neutralized the second line, they were completely powerless.

if Faith or Corney go down, I could see Jake the Snake brought out of retirement...

plus I want another year of Milt saying FLLLLLAANNNDERS at half time of every Bomber game...

I thought so too. Should have been a delay of game. This nonsense has been going on all year where the ref has to go and grab a list and force the coach to put players back on the ice, leading to game delays after icings which are just as good as a time-out. The whole point of leaving players on the ice after an icing was to penalize the team for icing the puck. If Gerard Gallant just pulls his guys off after every icing and forces the ref to bring people back on then he should be nailed for that. It's bush league. Especially when the guy who iced the puck is on the bench. That's not a misunderstanding. That's cheating.

4 power plays today, didn't score on any of them, and we lost by one goal. In the playoffs you have to score on the power play or you lose. Getting through Nashville was a real drain. I wonder how that series would have gone if Vegas had to play Nashville and we had to play San Jose in round two.

Depth QB

thought so too. Just heard Scott Oake mention it during the Reaves 2nd period interview.

yeah actually that's pretty funny. This is also a year where I won't really be watching or caring about the draft given we burned our first rounder, not that it was going to be high pick anyway. Oh well. Time to turn that switch in the old brain to "football" from "hockey", and hopefully won't be turning it back until the day after the Grey Cup. The Crown Royal consumption will continue at about the same level though...

what was that about his brother getting a contract with the Riders? Does anyone care?
