It was sarcasm....mocking an earlier poster....

Honestly, I'd like to see Calgary win out until they (hopefully) play Winnipeg again. Get 'em real fat n sassy heading into the West Final......

Funny, I can't help but wonder what MOS would be able to do if he inherited a championship calibre team with depth at every position on the roster.....

Lotta people in this thread who've never been in a sports locker room and have no clue how things operate. Keeping's resume gives him a ton of cred in the locker room. No question he's a leader who can help the young guys...

The thing is, you can't look at it as "2 bad years, 1 good" in a vacuum. It was 2 bad years in the start of a full body off restoration. This team was in such dire straits, talent-wise, when they came in, that nobody could've done much with that. I choose to believe that it's only now that we're starting to see the fruits of their labour...Where some people want to give Walters the longer contract because they think he's done such a good job finding talent, I actually feel like MOS deserves the longer contract for what he was able to do (anything at all!) with what he started with. He's a good coach who's still learning to be great. Terrified we'll lose the both of them to Toronto or Hamilton one day...

Felt bad for Hutch, who got hung out to dry a LOT last night, and then came up big when it counted. Whole team rallied in the 3rd and OT. That breakaway save he made in OT, that turned it around to send Laine the other way...that's humongous. The entire team is poor defensively...and I don't know enough to know why that is...

I think they'll make every attempt to sign EE, but it's going to come down to whether he actually wants to be in Toronto...Bautista is good as gone. Saunders might stay, on account of it's Canada (tho, he's from BC, so maybe he wants to be out west??)

I kinda figured that it might fit with Strange because we're getting into some really weird, super-nerd ****...

I just hope it's not another 20 years in between playoff runs. This team is going to be blown up good this offseason...

Unable to sell out their home opener vs the Leafs has to be troubling....

Is there a chance this isn't a case of taking Molly at a club, but rather a similar chemical being found in some workout "supplements" that these guys might be taking? Or is there just a really big Molly problem with these American guys in Canada??

Brandon Banks testing positive for the same thing Bruce Johnson did! Also will serve 2 game suspension....

It's an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime thing to be a part of. As I'd mentioned previously, I absolutely DESPISE both the Habs and the Flames, but I went to the outdoor game in Calgary because I may never get to again and it was INSANE. It was frickin' cold and windy (February) but just to be a part of the whole spectacle...it was unbelievable. To get to do something like this in Winnipeg, and with actual NICE weather...man you guys are lucky. Anybody who didn't buy tix...you're really missing out.

Loving SHIELD again this year...been fun. So, for your nerds out there: This magic book they're talking about, is this sort of leading into Dr Strange?

Can we just make it clear: Nobody knows yet. Team has not said anything about Cheung. If anything had been said, it would have been posted here. Alright....everyone can stop asking now.

Fairly certain he's been doing that for Crosby for years now...

I hate kow-towing to whiners....blah.

this is, by far, the biggest reason it's being talked about right now. Riders fans are crying because they think this current win streak is who they really are....

63 and 85, imo, are still the best to have ever played their respective positions, in this league......

He did -- you're right! I totally spaced on that...but I believe 6, 63, and 85 remain untouched...

they played great small ball in that final series against Boston, but other than Donaldson, nobody's hitting hard n low consistently...

Can't really retire numbers in football, because there are so few, but there are a couple that are "unwritten rules"....97, 85, 6, 63.......to name a few........

Thomas subs in on Jumbo sets, I believe, as a TE....sometimes rolling out as a passing option...

Yeah, that happened awhile back....was really difficult on account of the TV networks and such, but they got it done.
