the massive OL they signed from WHSFL looks like quite a talent, as well. Only 17 and already an absolute monster...

Kind of a cool Bisons-related story........Bennie Goods was, of course, a good one.....

Alexander and Wilson for a full season would help to make Bighill look a lot better next year....I feel pretty confident in that. He was doing way too much last year, unfortunately, to compensate for all the injuries. My Top 5 remaining would be: Demski Couture Darby Sheed Janarion

And yet there's all this talk on Twitter about how Faj is likely to follow Maas to Montreal...... I don't understand that at all.

Walters has talked enough about the balancing act of keeping a veteran core together, while mixing in new blood, that I'm confident they know what they're doing. Also, how great is this quote from JJ:

If your team lets Faj cosplay a CFL starting QB, that is a HUGE problem for your team...

I've felt this way for awhile now too... Sounds like it's all but done:

Imagine paying 250k for Tony Pip....Christ sakes...

So, expectations are sky high in Edmonton........

Interesting note at the end of this tweet:

a lot of the heavy lifting done, with a few key names left on the board and then some foot soldiers to re-up if possible...

from your keyboard to the Bombers social media team...... here's hoping we see that one next. Walters said last week that he was supposed to be talking with Nicky D on Friday, I believe.... hopefully it's all but announced.

FYP.

I mean, it's the only thing that's really changed, right? So it has to be. I have a relative who played some high level hockey, whose opinion I trust more than anyone about hockey, and he said after last year "this team has all the pieces...they just need someone to bring it together".......and sure enough....... I honestly thought Bowness was too old to connect with the players, but he's found a way, whether that be through Arniel or whatever. He's getting it done. Scheiffele said something earlier this season (I'm paraphrasing) that Bowness "doesn't get mad...he just gets really disappointed in you. You feel like you're letting down your grandfather, which you never want to do" So whatever he's doing, he's got them going. Hellebuyck is a Vezina candidate, Morrissey is a Norris candidate, Bowness a Jack Adams candidate..... and they're getting the most possible out of the forwards. it's really quite something.

He had that in Cgy and still didn't look very good...

TIL... Collaros is making 600k. Cripes. Good for him I suppose. As long as we can afford to keep him upright. Here's the thing about the BLM "sweepstakes"...... Is he really valuable anymore?? He hasn't shown that he's an elite QB since his shoulder got all buggered up. Someone is going to wildly overpay for a truck with a LOT of city miles on it...

VAJ is their starter for sure this season and I couldn't be happier. They'll be back in the dumpster with The Gappers and the LOLks in 23. Fab.

OL not that bad as long as we have Dan Clark!!!

Keep in mind Dustin Tokarski was in net for the Pens.... And he was awful, especially on that Ehlers goal. Take nothing away from the Jets skaters who outplayed the Pens skaters.

^^ That looks incredible. I've somehow never seen the first one, though I've always wanted to. Need to get on that. Brooks is a genius whose days are numbered.... so glad they got to this while he's still around.

they're gonna be left with VAJ and no chance are they paying 400 or 600k. The upside to VAJ, if there is one, is that it allows them to be active in FA and get some complimentary players. They'll still suck, because VAJ sucks, but it's a better position than Rourke and nobody else...

anything that smells or tastes like black licorice is not for people under the age of 60 (who still have tastebuds....) so no worries on finding that anywhere near my vicinity!

If anyone ever touched my tackle bag without asking, they'd be missing digits......
