Markstrom hasn't been the same since Vancouver and Calgary is all about their back up who's gonna be a really good one I think. Dominated the AHL and did fairly well as the back up this past year.

Ehhhhhhhhh I guess I'll go Strev....

I could see that...

I told my wife the other day to be prepared for a torrent of booing on Friday. It could get ugly early and when it does, the fans will be relentless....

Injury prone 2/3C is not going to get nearly the return people think. I love Nikky E but he has very little value at this point.

If he gets lands on a fumble in the endzone, you win the whole season. Everyone else needs to bow out. Done.

Ftr my original post meant to say "lids" not kids.... Now edited. I don't want anyone thinking I'm THAT kind of crazy... (Just the regular kind that you already know about...)

Cuthbert is the best hockey and CFL PBP of all time, without question.

My two favourite lids right now, both from The Bombers Store, are a royal blue snapback and a white/blue "courderoy" bucket hat. I'm 44 and never considered there was anything wrong with the snapback.... But it is also possible that I am WILDLY out of touch... Ha ha.

I don't know Derek at all (we have several mutual friends in the industry) but he is meant to be a national broadcaster for the CFL. He will be the best CFL national PBP in a very long time.... I say that as a broadcaster and a fan of broadcasting.

Definitely not, but Cuthbert is still the best ever. Borderline unwatchable is way too far. I don't love Nielson and Smith is a pro but is well past his due date. I think DT should be the next one called up to the bigs, and likely replace Smith. The analysts are varying levels, but Matty and Lapo are very good, Forde is solid and Suitor...... Ehhhhhhhhh..... It's all well more than serviceable and far from borderline unwatchable. Also, Gord Miller was a fantastic PBP and I wish he was still on the CFL beat. For my money, I like him better on football than hockey.

Yes.

All the ones mentioned... Chungh, Goossen, Couture and Desjarlais.... Were not coming back. They had non football reasons for leaving so there wasn't much you could do there

**** sakes that DL.... We need an airlift this weekend.

Someone on this board (JBR??) said recently (paraphrasing here) "this team isn't good enough anymore to come out and half ass it and still find a way to win. They're all sitting around waiting for someone else to make the play" Woogie agrees with you... And, based on this piece anyhow, I'm led to believe the locker room isn't blind to the issues...

When we had that 2nd and 1, and didn't take the chance to drop back and do something with it... Instead just smashing it into th pile yet again..... I was so disappointed. Seemed like the perfect opportunity, but maybe that's why they didn't? Too obvious?

You gotta just be loving life right now.... This is your heaven.

I just don't want to go back to being anything but the top of the mountain... I am not ready to go back to 2004.... 2013...... 😭

I don't want to join the negativity but we have, objectively, looked like BY FAR the worst team in the league so far...

You misunderstand... In this quasi analogy, Osh is Dave The Bear.... And whatever comes next after this extended period of winning is the next Daley....

So much this. After the last however many years, where we could get 2 or 3 yards every time almost automatic... These last two games have been shocking to watch. Barely getting a yard or less. It's hard to watch.

I'm just saying, after living through that, it feels like we're headed the same way, albeit with having seen a bit more extended winning period than we did back then.... And it feels like we're on our way to Jim Daley Pt 2...

I was right there with you to see what happened after 2001......

It just really ******* sucks this is happening with next year's GC at home. **** **** ****...
