not necessarily. there aren't many 40 goal scorers in the NHL, sometimes a 30ish goal scorer is all you can hope to be. Goal scorers tend to peak early let us not forget.

Better baseball highlights and the blatherings of the morons TSN has on their panel.

No he banged his head opening a cupboard in his house.... honestly Nate some of the crap that you actually say....

Hell you could put together flattering highlight packs of them from their actual CFL action too if you really wanted to.

Just what do you think Kanes potential was? Seems to me he's produced with what is to be expected of him.... I've found that Jets fans seem to have this notion that every prospect or young player has super star potential... it's a curious thing.

I just can't understand why people would want a TSN post game show... you want to listen to more of Schultz babbling about stupid nonsense?

I don't recall TSN doing much of a post game show for NHL either. Sportscentre whether you like it or not is a big thing for TSN. Think of it like the post game show for every sport that happened that day.

I still blame Buck. "The world was his oyster" and he did nothing to win that game. That's when it first dawned on me that he didn't have the mental abilities to be a winning QB. Did he do nothing to win or did the offense play so passively because of the coaching? Seems to me that once the game started to get out of reach the offense opened up a bit and made some plays. That year though seemed that Lapo was quite happy to play stupidly conservative and hope that the defense would make enough big plays to win.

IMO starting 4 or 5 Canadians on the OL is an outdated and overrated idea. A Canadian starter is worth just as much no matter where they start. It used to be feasible to cram all your Canadians on the OL, but defensive lines have greatly overtaken the offensive lines in recent years from a pure talent perspective. I agree, with the way defensive lines are playing these days I see more teams moving towards using 1 or 2 americans on the offensive lines more and more just to try and protect qbs. Canadian receivers are as able as their american counterparts, canadian runningbacks are starting to show up more and more, even seeing some linebackers and dbs stepping up. The days of just throwing 5 of your 7 Canadian starters on the OL are quickly coming to an end.

Do you even follow the NHL? This post suggests no. It's Nate, he just strings words together in the hopes people will give him the time of day.

To be fair though, putting the west leg where they did probably services a lot more people. Trying to get it down to Mount Royal would have been pretty silly since the city ends at the reserve just past there.

yeah it was 0-5. Fricken Lapo and his ultra conservative approach in the GC game, that's loser coaching. Glad we got a coach with some balls now who plays to win.

Gotta pay your stars when they've won 2 cups already. How much it handcuffs the team going forward depends on how much the cap rises.

Now I am as pleased with the start as anyone but we would all do well to keep in mind that this is the CFL and the first 2 weeks of the season can often be an extension of preseason, that is they don't always mean a whole lot in terms of how teams and players seasons will go.

A lot of people raved about their winter seasonal too but I thought it tasted really foul, wasn't a fan.

The problem with transit in Calgary is that it is great for getting people to and from downtown, but as soon as you have to go anywhere else it is a giant pain in the ass and winds up taking forever.

At this point I'd give the guy a rather lengthy deal to keep being the head coach. I'm sold already and the last thing I want is for him to bugger off back to southern ontario.

Those are both big losses for the stamps. Guess we'll see what the depth can do for them.

Always BPA, within reason of course.

But what kind from Granville Island? I quite like their English Bay Pale Ale, I know people who enjoy their maple cream ale as well.

I'd expecting nothing less from O'Shea to be honest. His MO since he was hired was to protect players in public. It's a real change from how things were handled last year. Who knows what gets said in the film room though.

So we take out someone who has been a weapon for us at RB in order to play a national at RB and who knows how well he can even do that anymore... How does that make it any more of a solution than keeping our international runningback who has produced well and opting to solve the ratio problems by giving one of the defensive players who have shown good things this season more playing time? For a team that uses americans at the RB position signing a national running back who is only a running back and not a special teamer isn't a solution it's a frivolous signing made only because of name recognition.

Good point - with Messam in the line up we totally would have won the first two games of the season...oh wait... Well at least we would have been able to run the ball effectively in those wins...

They both suck so I'm not too worried about them. It's Alex Brink that we have to be scared of in my opinion. Oh a sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention

Oh, *this* comment. Our third string running back is averaging over 100+ yards from scrimmage a game and just had 3 majors, the guy we're talking about doesn't play special teams and ... you think it's a bad decision? but I've HEARD of Messam, clearly that means he's a great player!!!! trouble is people forget that the CFL is 9 teams and used to be 8, chances are you've heard of everyone.
