Osh says they'll be able to coach their guys on kick returns so they don't take many penalties.....wasn't concerned about it.

Oilers are one of the hottest teams in the league right now and Mike Smith standing on his head every night. They're going to make a deep run. Here's to the Laffs and fLames getting pumped in 4 games in the first round though...

He does a lot of stuff but is working with Golf MB and The Winnipeg Ice as well....

Sean Reynolds works for Sportsnet....not even sure he's a PBP guy at all. That makes no sense whatsoever. Munz is working for the Ice....not sure he'll be making the leap. Edmonds, despite being a Corus employee, is the natural progression. But they could also go right off the page and bring in someone from out of market. You just never know what TSN/Bell might do.

Yeah, I have immense respect for Leah, but her PBP call is not for me, personally. If I was betting money, I wouldn't think she's getting the call up, but who knows. The interesting thing is the TV rights and Radio rights are separate now. Who does Bell want doing it? Does Edmonds have any bad blood from the TSN Radio shut down? These things tend to be complicated, but as a media nerd, I'm very curious to see what route they go.

Congrats to Dennis on a wonderful career! Really cool that he got to come "home" to finish off his career...that's a neat cherry on the sundae. So many great options out there as a replacement, but I'd be shocked if Edmonds didn't get the call. It's the natural progression. The young kid doing Moose games could get the bump up to Jets radio. Lotta options, though.... so many great hockey PBPs in this country.

I'm sure every player/family has their reasons, but man, I can't imagine dropping out of school after one year and going pro. Get your education...hockey will be there in a few years....and then you've got something to fall back on. But I suppose if he's good enough, and smart enough, he'll make the money now while he's young and healthy, and if he needed to go back to school, he could always do that, too.....

Interesting.....I'm trying to picture that, but in theory I'm a fan.

You only get a brief glimpse, but appears to be royal blue....

100% agree with this take.

Need a gif of him tracking down a Rider to save the West Final in '19. Saved the season.

Does the C-Train run out there......I can't remember.....?? That would be a bit part of it...

Yeah, selling out that venue doesn't impress me that much....... but whatever the CFL can do to spin it into news is a good thing, I suppose.

what's the capacity for that? I assume like 10k....maybe less??

I forgot this thread existed..... here's the latest CFL.ca Mock from Marshall Ferguson (h/t @JCon for digging it up first) https://www.cfl.ca/2022/04/26/mock-2-0-who-will-be-selected/ As with John Hodge's first mock, Ferg has us taking OL Zack Pelehos at #9.

this was who Hodge had us taking in his first mock, and I'm now inclined to believe that's who we'll take. Ferguson had us getting Zerr at 9 (in his first mock), but I just can't imagine a world where the Riders let a USask OL fall to us. I'm betting on Pelehos and think he'll be a good one, based on everything I've read.

in Alberta, if you want something built, you need to find a way to do it almost entirely on private funds. The screaming and yelling that goes on if even one red penny of tax dollars gets spent on ANYTHING is almost unbelievable. There's no "Hey, we're allowed to have nice things" around here.

For me, another factor is that I've had Omicron (assumed) plus the 3 vaccine doses I'm eligible for. So I feel as protected as I can possibly be. If I hadn't had COVID yet, I'd probably be wearing a mask more often...

Good thread here....

I'll go to McMahon for Bombers games, but that's it. I've got friends in town here that have Stamps season tickets and every year are trying to get me to go in on their section. No f***ing way. I am spending way more than those tix would cost to buy a Flex Pack of Bombers tickets and fly to and from the games, and it's still far better money spent.
