100% this...it's why it took so long to announce an OC. They tried to back the dump truck up to his door and he still said no.

One of the biggest reasons Hogan is OC is because or Brady's recommendation...

I've thought a lot about the 1991 team... Hosting the GC a year after being a GC-calibre team..... We went 9-9, whooped Ottawa in the WSF, then got stomped by Toronto in the EF. Curious if we see a similar end to the season this year...(Different teams, but you get me...)

Count me as one... Was able to get it all stitched up at St V. Stoked to have it.

He's arguably my all time favourite NHLer... And as a guy sitting in Alberta just trying to find a way back home again, it definitely hit me watching HIS dream come true, to come home again and be with his family...

No effort. It's rare that I'm embarrassed by a teams effort, but tonight, in that cold... It was decidedly "un-Manitoban"...

No heart was the definition of tonight's game. We were defeated by the cold. When the fans are more willing to fight through it than the players, it's an embarrassment. That was just a sad effort.

I'm not sure I've seen a MOS coached team look softer than what I saw today. Scared to take a hit. Unwilling to lay out for a catch. Just seemed completely defeated by the cold. That was sad to watch from the top of section W tonight.... Gonna go warm up and cheer for th Oilers. **** this nonsense.

Odell Willis used to be so bad for "knowimsayin".... All the time.. it was painful.

It was a gorgeous Sunny and 18 when we passed through Red Deer. By the time we hit Leduc it was raining and 6. Not going to be fun conditions. Just get the two points no matter what it looks like... Then get outta Dodge.

I'm a little scared of Justin Rankin today... Dudes legit. And it's gonna be a ground and pound kind of game. Honestly not sure who has the better OL but I'm fairly certain they have the better DL, so I figure running advantage to the LOLks...??

The Big Dumper makes his way to Skydome.... Going to be a heck of a series.

Periods of rain beginning this morning and temperature dropping to 6 this afternoon. Supposed to be just Cloudy by game time with temp continuing to drop to 0. In the old days, the Commonwealth field conditions would have been near unplayable... Today? We'll see...

Oak Park.... Same same.

So what's the deal with Oak Park... Do they just go out and recruit the best of the best? Like they look for already great football players and then pay them to go to school there or something...? Or is Dakota actually a factory with good coaching ...

Sask also trash. The riders have had a hell of a time against both Ott and Tor in recent weeks. And I get that we had issues earlier on.... But I would not be happy/confident if I'm a Gapper right now...

Argos absolute trash...

Praying for the Gappers to keep looking like ****... Argos don't have much for talent on that roster, but if they can keep it close....

I'm a loser... I sat here in my basement and cried the whole way through the Toews intro. What a moment.

Big time. If call it flat out gross.

And round and round and round we go.......

Demerio Houston not starting from what I can see... That's a change from last week. And Woods listed as a starting DT instead of just Lawson and Thomas.

Think this is a bad combination of the Jets aren't as good as they have been, and Dallas is a very good team this year. That was tough to watch but hopefully gets better as the Jets get healthier...

When we get to the point that "getting to the Cup is meaningless" then we are truly spoiled beyond belief. All those years in the wilderness just trying to make playoffs... And here we are with (apparently) the expectation that you need to win the cup every single year or you're a failure. Truly heady stuff.

It would absolutely be this...
