I think Stamps even finished the game after taking that shot to the nuts. I never really liked the guy, but man after that you had to respect the toughness of the dude.

Fred Stamps?

Obi-wan sitting in his shack chasing sand people off his lawn?

If Eberle can be moved without retention then RNH can be moved without a problem.

Wasn't that already episode 1-3? I mean sure they had Anakin but really, those were Obi-wan movies

I disagree and if you think that what was it? 5 points difference is all that matters then I just don't know... that's the regular season mind you, Draisaitls playoff performance should be another check in his favour. At worst the players are equal.

Can not wait to hear all the excuse making and the downplaying of the Bombers when they win tonight. The entire league disrespects Winnipeg nonstop. They hate us cause they ain't us.

Arguably the best Draisaitl has ever played was his 2nd season in Edmonton when McDavid was out with his broken collar bone. He was dominant and putting up a ton of points. Then McDavid came back and things slowed down. He was great in the playoffs without McDavid too so I don't know where you get Draisaitl stuggles without McDavid. Is it because he didn't rip it up playing 3rd line centre to start the year with Benoit Pouliot and I don't even know who was the RW at the time. Draisaitl did as much for McDavid as the other way around so I wouldn't penalize the guy just because he played well with McDavid, the only other guy who really did that was Patrick Maroon. Lucic and Eberle failed spectacularly to play with McDavid. plus you are ignoring the other part of the arguement, that at the same age Scheifele wasn't even an NHL regular let alone a #1 centre. Not like he was playing with scrubs this season either. Maybe when the Jets win a playoff game you Jets fans can talk as much **** about how great your players are.

It's a bit sore but then they stick this needle in there and it's pain free!

I am just waiting for the weather to cool off and Glenns numbers with it so we can stop hearing from Rider fans about how well he's doing.

I don't give a **** if Nichols is elite or if a Rider fan thinks his numbers are ham and egger numbers, as long as he keeps winning games I'm gonna keep being happy as a pig in ****.

That would back up the eye test, Nichols has been erratic on the longer tosses, if he was hitting those at the league average pace this team would be down right scary.

if you only look at one, maybe 2 seasons, but then again over that time RNH has been playing harder minutes in more defensive situations... I think you are all immediately discounting RNH too much because of the good year Scheifele is coming off of. Let's revisit things if RNH gets to play on the top line with McDavid next season instead of having to be the teams defacto defensive centre.

implying that Schiefele is better than Draisaitl? Going to have to show your work on this one cause in Draisaitls draft +2 season he had 51 points in 72 games, Scheifele at that same point only spent 4 games in the NHL, then in their draft +3 seasons Draisaitl had 77 points in 82 games, draft +3 Scheifele finally became an NHL regular and had 34 points in 63 games. That right there is the reason Draisaitl got paid what he did where as Scheifele is now on a cheap contract. When you wait until well after you are drafted to break out you don't have to get paid as much as players who break out in their 2nd year and then build upon that further in their 3rd season. Not to mention Draisaitl was arguably the best Oiler in the playoffs he's shown that thus far he's a big money player. 8.5 per year isn't a discount, but it's what guys like that get paid. Jets were lucky that they signed Scheifele to a long deal before he really broke out simple as that. See if he maintains that.

I'll go with Andrew Harris again I guess

I would hope that the Bombers can control the line of scrimmage on both sides and win that way. If they can ever get a few licks on Reilly and not let him pull his escape artist bullshit they should be able to control things nicely.

any player that says stats don't matter is lying. They all know and they all care.

"Here drink this"?

Yeah when a team is LOL bad like Hamilton is the only way they're likely to beat you is if you make mistakes and let them get freebie points so you can play conservatively and still whoop em.

Oh I ain't saying MOS is always truthful with the media, but I will tell you this, I'll believe he's telling the truth here and that Lawless is doing what he often does and is passing speculation off as fact. If Lawless says things like "hearing this" or "there is a belief around the CFL" or anything along those lines I'll believe that he has a source on that. He's not totally full of ****, but he does like to pretend that he knows more than he does and apparently people like you just eat it up.

The story or Wally and Harris to me always came down to Wally being a cheap bastard not wanting to pay what it would have taken to keep Harris.

What!?!?!? Gary Lawless pulled an opinion out of his ass and treated it like fact? No way! People need to stop treating everything that man says like it's some inside info. He does have some good info, but he's also like most media types and has an overinflated sense of his own intelligence.

Blocking and a returner to hand in hand. Very rare you get a good return man who succeeds without blocking in front of him.

It is absolutely hilarious how much it clearly bothers the guy. I always took a wait and see approach with him as a prospect but yeah he was a waste of a pick and now apparently he is quite upset that people are calling a spade a spade.
